Welcome to Smiles on the Canal

We are a close-knit family of dentists and professional dental staff located centrally in Erie Canal, a beautiful, thriving village in Fairport, NY. Smiles on the Canal is a  Family Dentistry clinic which was founded in 1991. Having been in the business for almost three decades, we have our database of dedicated patients who trust us with their dental hygiene. We have served several generations of families through the years and will help many more generations in the years to come.

We cater to the dental needs to people of all ages, from children who need early intervention to the aged who need dentures. We have adopted several changes in how we work based on technological advancements, and hence offer the best-in-class service to all our patients, old and new. Our experienced family of dentists will cater to all your dental needs to ensure that you always smile confidently.

What Are Our Services?

We offer a wide variety of dental services that you can benefit from. Our services include – Family Dentistry: Our focus is not just your dental hygiene, but also that of your whole family. We offer the following services to you and your family:

  • Routine & Comprehensive Check-Ups: A good dental hygiene regime is what is needed to keep you healthy for a long time, starting in your youth.
  • Crowns: They are restorations that are placed over your natural damaged tooth. Crowns are an ideal way of repairing teeth that have been broken or have been weakened by tooth decay or filling.
  • Dental Veneers: They are custom made wafer-thin shells of tooth-colored material to cover the front surface of your teeth to correct a wide variety of cosmetic imperfections. They can make your teeth look natural and healthy.
  • Root Canal or Endodontics: It encompasses the treatment of your dental pulp as well as the preservation of your teeth, which have failed to respond to non-surgical treatments. The purpose of the root canal is to remove the infected or the diseased pulp, disinfect the contaminated root canals, and fill in the root canal system to prevent re-infection.
  • In the case of cavities, the decayed material is removed from your tooth by our experienced dentist, and the area is then “filled” using a filling. As mentioned before, fillings are also used to repair cracked and broken teeth.
  • Extraction for adults: Extraction is done for reasons such as orthodontia, infection, risk of infection, and damaged tooth. Localized anesthesia is used to ensure that the procedure is painless.
  • Dentures: Dentures are easy to care for and convenient when you have lost all your teeth. It is a custom-made removable replacement for your lost teeth and its surrounding tissue, that will help you restore your smile.
  • Dental Bridges: It is a restorative measure to replace a missing tooth or teeth by joining an artificial tooth. They are a permanent fix which is used to secure your existing teeth as well as to hold prosthetic teeth. They are secured to your
    existing teeth often by using crowns.
  • Teeth Whitening: Yellow teeth can make you lose your confident smile. Teeth whitening is done to give you whiter and brighter teeth that have lost its color and shine due to enamel erosion caused by acidic food, teeth grinding, natural aging, or genetics.

I cannot stress enough how my son’s experience was life changing! He’s autistic and at first was overwhelmed... walking in. But within minutes of meeting Dr. Mapes he slowly calmed down, allowed her to interact with him and followed her directions. I say life changing due to the eye opening experience of how her patience and dedication shined through and showed me how medical visits can be pleasant for my child.Highly, highly recommend!!read more

I discovered what looked like a cavity on my rear molar and didn’t want for my cleaning a month away. I was taken... within 4 days and was treated to the highest level. Had a X-ray and then the doctor came and me do a simple bite test, which confirmed he diagnose. I wore a very small spot through my crown, it wasn’t hurting me so cause for any dental work. My concerns were laid to rest, very easy and nice, glad they are me dentistry 😁read more

Brought my 3 year old daughter in recently. Serena is so sweet with her on the 2 occasions we’ve been there. Met... Dr. Mapes for the first time this visit and couldn’t have been happier. She was so happy and positive and playful. My daughter adored her and she reminded me the importance of being playful as a parent. My daughter came home and immediately brushed her teeth, wanted to try the mouth wash and used the 3 flossing samples so that her teeth would continue to ‘sparkle.’read more

Dr. De Los Santos was absolutely wonderful. I have always had significant anxiety around going to the dentist, and he... was nothing but kind and compassionate thought the entire ordeal. If you or your kiddos struggle with anxiety this is absolutely a safe place. My hygienist, Serena, again was very patient with me and very understanding (not to mention hilarious). Andrea in the office was extremely helpful. I highly recommend.read more

I took my kids age 8 and 6 to try this dental office. My kids had anxiety due to their previous dental experiences. I... was extremely blown away by how sweet and comforting Dr. Mapes was. The kids didn’t want to stop talking to her! Even when she was filling a cavity for my 6 year old who was extremely nervous and crying, she was still assuring him that he was doing a great job. She even asked me to tell him he did a great job as she wanted to make sure he left the office with a positive experience. I am so happy we found her. My kids adore her. I wish all pediatric dentists would come like her!read more

I am a new patient to this practice and I cannot say enough about how wonderful my experience was. First of all, I love... that the parking lot is so large and finding a parking spot is never an issue. The office is clean, beautiful and very welcoming. My teeth were cleaned by Serena and she is absolutely amazing! She is so friendly, welcoming and nurturing. It’s very apparent she loves the field of work she is in.Dr. D is wonderful! He is so kind and makes you feel very comfortable throughout the entire appointment. I am usually apprehensive about needles and it was no sweat at all. In fact, I feel confident and ready for my next needle because of how pain free and comfortable my experience with Dr. D was! He explains everything very thoroughly and has a very gentle touch.The entire staff is so friendly and welcoming. I look forward to my dentist appointments because of the amazing experiences I’ve had at Smiles on the Canal!read more

I just had the Most Stress Free and lovely dental visit at Smiles on the Canal. My experience started when I entered... the waiting room with its very comfortable and cheery vibe. I was greeted with a warm welcome and was taken quickly to Serena for my cleaning appointment.Yes , I am admittedly the most anxious and unhappy person ever in a dental office never mind a dental chair. Thank Goodness Serena has a very calm presence and a very friendly personality. I was at ease immediately and was never afraid throughout the whole cleaning process. Serena was super gentle and is so amazing at what she does. My teeth felt and looked terrific.Thank you Serena for showing me that there are great hygienists with excellence and a gentleness that totally cares about their patients having a positive experience with them. Smiles on the canal is the place for all dental treatments. I can’t wait to return.read more

Great professional staff in a very nice office. I have not been to a dentist in many years and have been reluctant to... go because I was afraid of being scolded (I know, terrible excuse). I was referred to Smiles on the Canal by a good friend. Serena was my hygienist and was extremely friendly and professional. She explained the work being performed clearly and answered any questions I had throughout the process. Also good conversation so we weren't just sitting there in silence.After Serena was done with my X-Rays, cleaning, and review, Dr. Malik followed-up and helped me lay out a plan for further work needed. He clearly set what expectations should be and prioritized what needed to be addressed in a timeline that was not overwhelming.I look forward to working with Serena and Dr. Malik for my future appointments.read more
