I am very impressed with Atlantis Dental Cambie…read more Julia, the office manager was the first contact I had with Atlantis. She is cheerful, incredibly helpful and such a great person. I am a total baby when it comes to going to the dentist. The team was very understanding and kind. Dr. Karkanis was very patient with all of my questions. He is super nice and thorough. I will be getting my first tooth extraction in a couple of days (for braces) and Dr. Karkanis clearly outlined what would happen and put my mind at ease. A shout out to Kaitlyn as well for being super nice and making me feel comfortable. I had put off going to the dentist for a long time and am so happy that I have found a great new dentist and dental team. Five stars.

What a great experience! I know that sounds ridiculous for a dental visit but read on. I had not…read morebeen to a dentist for several years - being self-employed I pay the full amount and my last hygienist must have been a cranky schoolteacher previously - she berated me so much I avoided seeing any dental office. But my hygienist at Atlantis - Kelly - was such a pro. She was professional and so sweet, explained everything, never sprayed water on my face, and gave me great tips to improve my teeth. The TVs on the ceiling are a great distraction too. Julia, the office manager at reception, is phenomenal. I was laughing at her emails before I met her. And my invoice was LESS THAN my estimate! Everyone there makes a real effort to put you and ease and treat you with the greatest respect. Well done, AD Cambie!

Dr. Eric Bussières took over this practice from Dr. Michael Racich. Our whole family had been…read moreseeing Dr. Racich for years and we really liked his calm, capable, and well-informed work (he is even an author of dentistry books!). When Dr. Racich left (suddenly/unexpectedly) I started seeing "Dr.B"--Dr. Bussières. Dr. B is competent and well-educated. Unfortunately I have A LOT of problems with my teeth and I was very used to Dr. Racich's cautious attitude. I have some of the thinnest enamel possible and I'd had previous dental work done where the dentist didn't even ask permission to diamond disc between two teeth. As such, I'm *very* nervous at the dentist. I found that Dr. Bussières has more of a straight-forward attitude (compared to Dr. Racich's caution) and decided to fill 2 small cavities that were side-by-side at the same time. (Previously, Dr. Racich would do 1, wait to make sure things were okay, and then done the next, when they were touching between teeth.) As a result, I had excruciating pain on that side, and couldn't chew anything, a mere week before I left on a month-long vacation. (edited to add: Dr. Bussières did come in on a day off to try and fix the problem before I left town, but it was not a one-visit kind of fix and I was apprehensive to have more work done). I have since switched dentists but I believe my dad (who has less dental issues) and my mom (who has lots of dental issues) still see Dr. Bussières. So this is just my personal experience.

I love Dr. B. My partner and I both go there and have nothing but good experiences. I've had to be…read morein three times in the last several months for a cleaning (the hygienist is also amazing and hilarious), a root canal, and a filling. They gave me the most comprehensive exam I've ever had, and actually told me the state of my teeth and dental health, which I've never had. The root canal was far less intimidating once Dr. B explained everything and he and his staff were very attentive. And no pain during, or after my filling! Numbing gel + a small shot = I don't feel a thing, and they let me listen to my iPod during the procedure, so my anxiety is minimal. Plus Camille, the receptionist is really nice, helpful, and well versed on insurance coverage.

Dental is important to me. Ever since I was a child, careful tooth brushing and dental care has…read morebeen a priority, despite being a Brit - where everyone assumes we don't care about oral hygiene. A close and trusted friend recommended their dentist of 15 years - Dr Newitt - earlier this year when I didn't trust my other family dentist in Kitsilano anymore. Set above Chapters, this little dentist has a middle-of-the-road kinda look and feel, but it's Dr Newitt's professionalism, focus and no-nonsense approach that gets 5-stars. He doesn't chitter chatter whilst doing his work (which means he's focusing our your teeth! read: no errors!). He has his space observatory style magnification system, laser system and goodness knows whatever appropriately named dentistwizardry. I asked for more pain relief (I get nervous) and he obliged. He's a gentleman. My husband and I have been many times now for filling replacements, crown fitting/replacement, hygienist, mouth guard consultation - and each time I was delighted with the service. Dr Newitt will refer you to the best people in their field for larger more specialist jobs (braces, retainers, bone grafts). Why delighted? Whenever I had fillings elsewhere, there would be errors - they'd mess up and would have to keep going back (read: pay more). So far, Dr Newitt focuses on the job, and gets it done perfectly - first time. And that's the most important thing to me. And I hope to have a very long dental relationship with his practice, despite the 40 minute drive from Burnaby each time :)

Dr. Newitt and his team are amazing. My last Vancouver dentist experience was nothing short of…read moreabysmal. I had a pretty grim outlook on vancouver's dentistry practices before visiting Dr. Newitt's office. Tammy is the office's administrative superwoman and she is incredible. Her great jokes and friendly demeanor instantly put me at ease. Dr. Newitt himself is funny, professional and also has a great sense of humour and is interesting to talk to. It's really nice to have a group of people that genuinely seem to have an interest in what they do and the well-being of their clients/patients. Thanks for the great experience.

From the moment you walk into the office, you feel welcomed and cared for. He is exceptionally attentive and always takes the time to ensure you are comfortable and well-informed about your treatment. Their dedication to patient care and attention to detail make every visit a positive experience. If you're looking for a dentist who truly cares about your dental health and well-being, look no further than Dr. Jesse Ho

My family and I have been going to Enamel for years. I have always had a friendly experience here…read moreuntil just recently that I changed my mind entirely about the place. I always had my cleaning with Danielle who was polite, patient and always took the time to chat with me and answer any questions I had. This time, I had cleaning with Dr. Ho's assistant, caucasian, short hair, who had a very negative demeanor the moment she greeted me. I felt very uncomfortable right from the start as her attitude was poor, no smile. She seemed disinterested in her job the whole time which was unprofessional. While she was giving me an x-ray, she snapped on me when I did not understand her instructions right away. She did not care to try explaining from a different approach. I had not taken an x ray in YEARS for me to remember the process, but I felt almost as if she had something against me. Her impatience pushed me beyond to the point I left after on the spot. I was infuriated and upset because no one should ever be making you feel this way during your monthly cleaning and check ups. My father reported this rudeness as well. Dr Ho did not sound like he understood me because he responded with "its nothing personal" and your taking this too far. He acted as if it was not a big deal. One negative experience really ruins it for me. Empathy was at its lowest. I wont be back. If possible even, I would probably give this place a no star.

I never once felt pressured into doing anything I felt uncomfortable with, and I felt like Dr. Okamura took time to explain all of my options.

Shortly thereafter he moved to his current W. Broadway location and I followed him there even though it's not very convenient for me but a good dentist is worth the trip. He's always been personable, friendly and knowledgeable. He keeps up on what's current in the dental industry. His office seems to run pretty much like clock work and it is rare to be kept waiting more than 5 minutes past the appointment time. The front office staff is the best - friendly and nice every single time I've visited the office. One staff in particular, Antonella, has been with him for eons and that says a lot about how Dr. Okamura must be as an employer. His dental assistant has also been with him for years too, but the hygienists always seem to come and go. Years ago when extensive work was required with not much dental covererage, Dr. Okamura even accepted postdated cheques. I've never forgotten that and think it shows the epitome of his character. If you're looking for a great friendly Dentist then Dr. Wayne Okamura fits the bill to a tee.
