I had to have 15 teeth extracted for dentures. Dr, Alter only addressed the situation painlessly but with finesse.
I highly recommend Dr. Alter to anyone whom needs dental work. He is a master in his field and also has a great sense of humour.

This review is an update to treatment I received from Dr. Paul Alter four years ago for my TMJ disorder and sleep clenching problem. Dr. Alter was able to help me when no one else could. For the five years prior to meeting Dr. Alter, I had been suffering from a number of issues that medical specialists couldn't solve, including severe eye strain, neck pain, facial pain, and a posture that I couldn't correct. I'd spent years and literally thousands of dollars on tests, chiropractic care, physiotherapy, massage therapy, etc., to no avail. I was told repeatedly that nothing was wrong.

As things got worse, I shared some of my concerns with Dr. Alter, and after an examination and some testing, he diagnosed me with a TMJ disorder. He put me on a three month TMJ treatment plan using a specialized guard during the day and a different type of guard at night. Now, four years later, the majority of my clenching, grinding and 90% of the neurological symptoms have disappeared and are still in remission.

I sleep better, and am very happy with the new path my life has taken, thanks to a dentist who listened patiently and looked at the big picture.

Dr. Paul Alter is a fantastic dentist. I have had the pleasure of having him as my dentist for over 20 years and the service he has provided has been exemplary. His work is great and he always takes the time to explain things and to address any concerns. I would strongly recommend him.

Thank you Dr. Alter!

After trying to alleviate my symptoms of sleep apnea for 7 years, I was blessed to cross paths with Dr. Paul Alter. During my first meeting with him, he gave me more insight about possible causes of my condition than any sleep doctor or specialist had offered me. I had tried a CPAP machine for many years, but the high pressure setting I needed made me very uncomfortable. Under Dr. Alter’s guidance, I went for a new sleep study and a CT scan. After explaining everything to me, he said my struggles with CPAP were caused by my nose/sinus passages not working properly. That forced me to breathe through my mouth, which made me clench my teeth so often that my jaw joints were now part of the problem. Dr. Alter explained that jaw joint inflammation doesn’t always cause pain but it often does disturb sleep.

He had me wear one oral appliance during the day and a different one at night. At first I didn’t wear the appliances consistently and eventually he told me I wouldn’t get better if I wasn’t serious about wearing the appliances. I lived far away and decided to take a break. He reassured me by saying if your situation changes, I’ll be here to help you get better.

Once I finally decided to follow his protocol vigilantly, and wear the appliances as directed, I began to sleep through the night on a regular basis. Wearing Dr. Alter’s dental devices, along with his recommendations about how I could improve my sleep hygiene and my diet, I am finally feeling more rested than I have in 35 years. All I wear now is my sleep appliance. This treatment has been extremely beneficial for me. When I was willing to do the work, I began to heal.

Thank you 🙏🏽 Dr. Alter.

Dr. Alter's warmth, humour, respectful demeanour and calm confidence go a long way with the help of his wonderful and personable staff to making every visit a delight, in so far as such can be said of a trip to the dentist! That I've yet to regret keeping him on his toes by refusing anesthesia during fillings is testament to the aptness of his confidence.

I have been a regular patient of Dr. Alter for many years. I have
always found him to be courteous and professional in his approach to
treatment. Throughout my association with Dr. Alter, I have been
impressed with his skilful repertoire of restorative dentistry and his
knowledge of current practice. Dr. Alter has recently re-located to
an office near Coxwell and Danforth Avenues. The staff at the new
site have been friendly and helpful in arranging appointment times.
This location has turned out to be conveniently accessible by public
transit, while drivers can find adequate parking on nearby residential
streets.
