At Dentistry On Wilson in North York, you’ll find a team of dedicated and experienced professionals who are all about delivering top-notch, genuinely compassionate dental care in a relaxed and friendly setting. The practice is headed by its founder, Dr. David Michaels, who offers a full range of services — from implants to orthodontics, as well as cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry.
He’s supported by Dr. Jon Lok, a certified dental anesthesiologist who specializes in sedation and general anesthesia for patients who feel anxious or need a little extra help. You’ll also meet Dr. Nicole Ng, who focuses on one-on-one patient care and community outreach, and Richer Lai, an honours graduate and highly skilled denturist.
Together, they ensure that whatever your dental needs may be — from routine checkups to complex full-mouth reconstructions — the clinic has the up-to-the-minute technology and expertise to get the job done.
Dr. Michaels graduated from the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Dentistry in 1986 and, following a locum in the middle east, he returned to Canada and opened Dentistry On Wilson in 1989.
He maintains a strong belief in his own personal and professional development and strives consistently to deliver dental care that goes beyond patient expectations in an environment that is welcoming, comfortable and stress free. “Dr M” maintains an ongoing involvement in residencies, study clubs, and was previously a clinical instructor in dental hygiene at George Brown College.
In 2006 he opened Dentistry On Norwich to serve patients in the Woodstock, Ontario area and now runs the Woodstock Dental Centre. WDC provides all levels of dental treatment including implants, sedation, paediatrics, prosthetics, TMJ treatment and BOTOX® therapy, Invisalign® and traditional orthodontic care. The clinic also offers “sleep dentistry” and full-mouth aesthetic and reconstructive dentistry. Dr Michaels also sees select patients in need at Woodstock General Hospital.
He maintains an active lifestyle and spends every spare minute he can with his amazing family.

Dr. Lok graduated from dental school at the University of Toronto in 2001 and in 2004 completed his dental anesthesia training at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. He is recognized by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario as a Certified Specialist in Dental Anesthesia.

Richer is a dedicated denturist at Dentistry on Wilson, passionate about his profession and committed to providing exceptional care to every patient.
He began his journey by graduating from the Dental Technology program at George Brown College in 2019.
