Dr Sowden accidentally shaved off a large fragment of my jaw bone during my wisdom tooth surgery,…read moreleft it in my gums and lied about it being there. I had this fragment for 4 months before it finally worked its way out and it was severely painful and made it difficult to eat and talk. Dr. Sowden comes across as a very kind and lovely person, but my experience with his surgery was extremely unsatisfactory. I had my wisdom teeth removed by Dr Sowden in September. He had around 7 other surgeries he was doing as well that day and was very rushed on the day of my surgery. It went fine and i went home. However, two weeks after the surgery I noticed a sharp searing pain in my jawbone that made it impossible for me to touch my jaw because it hurt so much. It also felt like there was something lose in my jawbone that could be felt to the touch and clicked and moved around if you pushed on it. One of the extraction sites where I had my wisdom teeth taken out was extremely red and swollen. Infections after wisdom tooth surgery are fairly common, so we assumed it was that and went to Dr Sowden to get the "infection" cleaned. Dr Sowden performed and minimally invasive procedure to take out what he told us was an infection. He also took x rays of my mouth to make sure there was no issues with the bone. He never showed us those x-rays. He simply told us they were "fine" and sent me on my way. Three weeks later, I was still experiencing horrible pain despite irrigating and cleaning diligently everyday. We went back again. Dr Sowden and his office told us that this time my pain (the same pain that i had during my "infection") was caused by me biting my cheek. He gave me antibacterial mouthwash. But the pain never really went away. By this time it was the end of November and I was embarrassed to go back to Sowden for a fourth time about my teeth. I figured the pain was a normal side effect from surgery that everyone had when they touched their jawbone. Until I noticed a foreign object in my mouth one day in January, right where I had my wisdom teeth removed. The truth was that I never had an infection. The foreign object protruding from my gums was a large fragment of my jawbone that had been shaved off due to DENTIST ERROR during the surgery. It emerged from my gums naturally and continued to emerge until I was able to pull it out myself (I wasnt going back to Sowden for extraction after he did nothing to help me in the first place). We phoned Dr Sowden's office to ask what it could be because it was sharp and hurt my gums. I was having trouble talking towards the end because the fragment was protruding so much. They told us not to come in. The lady said I could deal with it on my own and that it was only a tiny fragment. This woman never looked at my mouth. She had no proof that it was a small fragment, which it wasnt. The bone piece is the size of a nickel. I've attached pictures of it in my mouth and after I removed it myself. Once I removed the fragment, the pain stopped entirely. I never would have had this fragment or the four months of severe tooth pain I endured if Dr Sowden had done the surgery correctly in the first place. I never would have had it for so long if he had shown us the x rays and been honest about what he saw. And after all this, they dismissed us and refused to even see me to fix the dental problem that Sowden himself caused. I dont recommend Dr Sowden to anyone. They have way too many clients and not enough time or care to do a proper job on them.

I was referred to North Shore Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery by Richmond Oral and Facial Surgery…read more My oral surgeon was Dr. Richard Chau. I came here to remove an infected rotten molar tooth. At first, I was really anxious and nervous because I had a painful experience with another tooth removal from somewhere else. Dr. Chau's staff on the phone reassured me and outlined me the options and pricing, regarding sedation or no sedation and put me at ease. The ladies at his front desk were so professional, patient and kind with me on the phone and in-person. In the end, I opted for no-sedation last minute because my dental insurance ran out so I had to save money as I am not employed anymore (lost my job due to Covid staffing cuts). Dr. Chau's front desk staff and a nurse were so kind and professional to me. I felt very welcome there. When it was time for my tooth removal, I was very nervous. Dr. Chau talked me through the removal, he said "I'm going to do this, and I will do this" and then in literally 2 seconds, he said, "Ok and it is out." I said, "What? That's it?" I was so surprised at how fast and smooth the extraction happened! I recommend to everyone that it is better if you get your tooth removed by an oral surgeon, since they have the expertise to do it correctly and quickly. I wish I had chosen an oral surgeon earlier like Dr. Chau to remove my other tooth too. Anyway, I have rebooked Dr. Chau to remove my next tooth, and I have confidence and much less fear now of getting a tooth extraction. I also found out that we can self-refer ourselves here. I had my dentist refer me for my 1st extraction, then I self-referred myself for my 2nd extraction. I highly recommend Dr Richard Chau and the polite professional staff here!

I was referred to a specialist but still needed some dental work. Since I was still tied to Dr. Sarrafan because of a crown that still needs to be cemented and monitored by him.. I asked for him to proceed with the few things I needed before I can proceed with the specialist. I was denied treatment from this office.

Dr. McKay is an experienced, talented, ethical, knowledgeable, friendly and communicative dentist,…read morewhom I can enthusiastically recommend without hesitation. The office staff are very accommodating when booking appointments, and effectively manage to limit the waiting time. I first visited Dr. McKay based on the glowing endorsement of a highly respected oral surgeon, who has been Dr. McKay's patient for many years. I wanted to see a trustworthy and skilled dentist who could provide a second opinion on my (now previous) dentist's advice to get crowns on my upper teeth to repair the damage done through excessive wear and fix a faulty bite. This is a prohibitively expensive and aggressive procedure, which involves the filing, reduction and reshaping of existing teeth in order to make room for the porcelain caps. Thank goodness I received a second opinion! Not only did Dr. McKay clearly explain why I didn't need crowns, but he recommended a far cheaper and more conservative treatment--bonding--which would repair, strengthen, protect and improve the appearance of my teeth without reducing their size or integrity. Last week, Dr. McKay, with the help of his excellent assistant, spent over two hours painstakingly performing the bonding procedure on my upper and lower teeth. Before starting, he clearly summarized what was going to happen, and then just before each step in the process, either he or his assistant would explain precisely what would happen next. I appreciated the high level of communication throughout the procedure, which Dr. McKay performed to perfection. Not only did Dr. McKay do a superb job with my teeth, but he saved me well over $10,000! It takes me 60-90 minutes to drive to his office in North Vancouver, but I would never consider going anywhere else for my dental work.
