I was new to Halifax in 2014, and prior to moving here I had always gone to the same dentist. I was…read morenervous to start going to a new dentist however, I am now very glad I had chosen Lawen Dentistry. Dr. Lawen is an incredible dentist and is significantly better then the previous one I had been going to. To start, the office is very clean, the receptionist are always very kind, there is free bottled orange juice, apple juice, water and coffee to have while in the waiting room. The maximum time I've ever waited in the waiting room was 15 minutes (ie. my appointment was at 3:30 and we began at 3:45). The dental hygienist did a great job of my first cleaning, and even gave me a tooth brush and toothpaste to take home. Every time Dr. Lawen has done my fillings it's been quick and painless. He always makes sure you are pleased with the end result and encourages you to come back if the "bite" doesn't feel right to you and he will adjust it. At my first appointment with Dr. Lawen he asked me if there was anything I didnt like about my teeth, and I mentioned a small discolouration on my front tooth. So, I had gotten a teeth whitening package to use in the evening. The whitening really hurt my teeth as they are very sensitive however, I didnt want to pay the price to try something else so I decided to just give up. But, at my next appointment when I had told this to Dr. Lawen about my trouble whitening, he gave me a new package to whiten my teeth during the day for only 20 minutes (because it causes less sensitivity issues) for free! My front tooth is now the perfect white after the whitening and Dr. Lawen filling in the discolouration spot with a filling. Its an amazing difference. I think Dr. Lawen truly cares about his patients, he always informs me of cost of anything, he does everything quickly and efficiently and he always makes sure I'm happy with results. Highly recommended!

Dr. Lawen, himself, has not only conducted himself professionally at all times, but he exudes a warmth and compassion that should be standard at all dental offices. Lori has been my hygienist for longer than I can recall, and while there are other well-trained and highly competent hygienists working alongside her, I would never consider losing her in that capacity. I had two new crowns installed a year ago, and the procedure went flawlessly. I am scheduled for another next month. No reservations or concerns on my part because there is no downside to it.

I recently switched to this dental clinic after reading the reviews on Yelp and I was not…read moredisappointed! Everyone who works here it friendly and thoughtful. I got a check up with Dr. Lucy and then returned for a cleaning with the hygienist. When you enter through the double doors you'll find the waiting area and the reception desk with the three admins. There's a tv in one section of the waiting room and one in each of the rooms that I've been in for work. They took special care to find out if I was comfortable or had any anxiety about visiting the dentist. There is lots of free parking given that it's located in a large strip mall and it's across the street from the Dartmouth bus terminal for those taking transit. If you're looking for a new dental clinic, I definitely recommend this one. To note though, you'll need to go in for a special new patient appointment before they'll do any work on your teeth, so don't wait for a cavity!

I called their office long distance from Calgary in an effort to seek advise from a former dentist…read morethat had worked here about a year ago. It took me a long time to locate her. Anyway, I called the office and it was about 10AM here so about 1PM there I suppose; and the phone continued to ring and ring. I hung up, and later tried again. This time I let it ring for quite a while thinking perhaps an answering machine would kick in. Instead, the reception picked up the phone and without hearing a word from me, asked me to hold. No problem I said. So; I continued to wait for about 5 minutes, then suddenly the phone slammed down on my ear. I then called back and asked the receptionist why the phone was slammed down, and she said that she was busy. OKAY.....I said. I went on to mention the nature of my call, and she assured me that she would relay the message. I waited 3 days and no return of the message. I also sent emails. Still nothing. Sent them back an email in return stating that I"m glad I"m not a patient of theirs . That they can keep that type of practice is Dartmouth Nova Scotia where it belongs! Not nice people in my opinion.

A new dentist, a woman, told me it was time for a crown on one of my molars. She did such a terrible job, she created a large gap between my teeth...a food trap. I was having discomfort from day one, I even delayed paying them because my tooth was causing me pain. I found a new dentist that helped filled the gap, treated me with respect. This new dentist has now advised me that decay is now to the bone. I now have to have a very expensive procedure that involves an implant. I am saddened and frustrated...I will be contacting the appropriate governing body to let them know the damage that Dr. Karma has done to my mouth. Tammy Cook

That is until I called up after a long tooth hiatus to make an appointment. I looked for my old dental practice, which seems to have been bought out by Robie St. Dental. New dentist? Doesn't bother me. Like I said before, need dentist, go to dentist. Anyways, I made an appointment and went. The staff are some of the friendliest people you ever want to meet! They have coffee while you wait, which I thought was weird.. coffee breath? Not really something I want right before someone digging in my mouth, but it's a nice touch. The Hygienist is nice and knows her stuff. As for my dentist? She could be my best friend. She is amazing. So friendly and genuine in her interactions with you. She also worked with me and my dental plan so that she didn't go over. She explained what was going on with my teeth, showed me photos (which I thought was cool) during the process of filling a tooth. Gross and awesome all at the same time. She's constantly checking in while working on your teeth to make sure you're doing okay and diligent with keeping your airways clear! If you get fillings and have to wear "the raincoat" you know what I'm talking about. Her dental assistant is also a sweet heart. They are an awesome team, the whole lot of them. I can't lie, I thought the building was pretty sketchy on the outside but I would 100% recommend anyone who needs a dentist going here. The inside is lovely and I've only had fantastic experiences and results here.

I can't say it doesn't hurt from time to time, especially that damn drill! But I can't imagine any dentist not hurting from time to time. If you are in need of a dentist, i recommend anyone here!

They let me leave in pain and took $100 from me. How sad is this, I was absolutely shocked they wanted me to live with this pain until January. I made an appointment with a clinic in Bedford and had the tooth repaired the same day of my visit to Lacewood. I am shocked by the lack of urgency, empathy, and basic patient care demonstrated during this appointment. I took time out of my day, drove to the clinic in pain, and left in the exact same condition -- only poorer and extremely disappointed. For comparison, I contacted another dental clinic today, as a new patient, they immediately made arrangements to treat me and address the issue so I could be pain-free during the holidays. This is the level of care I would expect from my regular dentist--especially for a straightforward repair that could have been completed quickly. The dentist I saw today showed no concerns for my suffering and no willingness to help. That lack of compassion and professionalism is unacceptable in a healthcare setting. I will NEVER return and would suggest you find a better clinic as there are many here in Halifax, stay away from Lacewood dental and or anu corporately owned smiles clinic, they are terrible and all about robbing us.
