I was referred here by a colleague of mine when I moved to Vancouver and needed to go to the…read moredentist. They are awesome! (Awesome enough to make me want to write a yelp review!) On your first visit to the office, you don't sit down in the dentist chair right away - instead Dr. Marshall takes you into his office and has a little "teeth chat" - he goes over any problems you've had in the past, worries/concerns you have, or hopes for the future. Yes, hopes for your teeth. Then you're ushered into the light and airy dental chair areas and get the inspections done by fantastic hygienists (Mel is awesome!) while getting a view of the North Shore mountains. They also have blankets for you if you ever feel chilly! They are very thorough - whenever you need work done, the dentists explain exactly what has happened, and the various courses of action that they can take to fix it. I've often sat in the chair with a hand mirror, while the dentist shows me something on my teeth or gums. Fascinating - these guys really love teeth. They are excellent dentists too - very precise with their work, and I've never had pain when they're working on my mouth! The only downside is that apparently they are on the expensive end of dentistry, but it's totally worth it for me to know that I have experts working on my teeth! However, if money's tight for you, ask them to do an insurance proposal for anything they plan on doing - so you know what you're getting into. The office is always happy to do that, and abide by my wishes! I have referred three of my friends to the Drs Marshall office and everyone has been happy with them too!

My husband and I have been going to see Dr. Bruce Marshall since we moved to Vancouver. He was…read morereferred to us by our neighbor, a Professor of Dentistry from UBC, so we considered that a very credible endorsement. Bruce, his assistant Ting and his hygienist Mel are outstanding. My first visit with Dr. Marshall involved a sit-down in his office with a discussion about my dental health and my goals for my teeth. I had never previously experienced that level of concern over my chompers and it wasn't until then that I realized my teeth had been under-achievers! Dr. Marshall is a fabulous technician but what sets him apart from his peers are his excellent communication skills and his focus on making your dental experience as pleasant as one could have in a dental chair. From the second that you sit down you are told that you are the boss and if something isn't working for you, changes will be made until it does work for you to get the desired result. What other dentist calls you to check how you are doing after a procedure and gives you their personal cell phone number to call if there are any problems once so ever? Other than dentist drills sounding like they are noises being emitted from the final circle of hell (unavoidable), Dr. Marshall has created an environment that even the most fearful dental patient would have to admit is actually quite pleasant. My husband and I have recommended him to friends and colleagues and we would not hesitate to do so again in the future.

As a new patient, I had a great experience at West Georgia Dental Centre!…read more My previous dentist retired, and finding a dentist who could offer the same high level of care took some time--until I found Dr. Ryan Eom. Dr. Eom was thoughtful and thorough, took the time to explain the procedure, and made sure I was comfortable throughout my dental work. Especially noteworthy was the way Dr. Eom handled the freezing, which was the best freezing I have ever had--it was comfortable, and when it wore off, there were no lingering effects like I have experienced in the past. Dr. Eom is also very attentive to details and goes out of their way to provide treatments that save existing teeth. I also appreciated how transparent Dr. Eom is about the costs, taking the time to explain what needs to be done, providing an estimate ahead of time, and offering other treatment options, so there were no surprises. Equally wonderful were all of the staff members, including the receptionist, dental hygienist, and dental assistant--everyone was friendly, professional, and made my visit feel welcoming from start to finish. Thank you to Dr. Ryan Eom and the entire dental team at West Georgia Dental Centre--it's clear that everyone genuinely cares about their dental patients--much appreciated!

I am so thankful to West Georgia Dental Center's Dr. Ryan and this is why…read more I came to him for a second opinion because my former dentist and the periodontist he referred me too wanted to either perform flap surgery or tooth extraction as the treatment plan for my infected gum. Those were the only two options I was given. I am a strong believer in second opinions when it comes to important decisions. For example we took our daughter to see an eye doctor she was very young and just learning to read letters. The eye doctor gave her some charts to read and concluded she needed glasses; however I could see that she the eye doctor was all about the money, just quickly getting the patient in and out and not performing a diligent job. I had read that young children sometimes need a different eye chart because they are still unfamiliar with letters. Especially my little girl who did not get to go to Montessori like my son did. After going to another eye doctor for the second opinion he did not conclude that she needed glasses and here we are years later and she still does not need them. I also believe that there are those who are either incompetent and or dishonest. The specialist a Periodontist told me there was no chance my tooth could be saved. It's possible his intentions were good but something beyond his control went wrong like maybe the support staff gave him someone else's x-ray and he concluded from that, that my tooth could not be saved because it was fractured. Long story short, instead of a $7000 dental job for extraction and implant which my benefits would only cover max $1500 per year. Dr. Ryan performed a root canal for me for approximately $1000 and my benefits covered 80% my cost just around $200. My former Dentis told me I only had two options! and never mentioned this third option. Yahoo, Yippee, Yeah I am so happy that I found West Georgia Dental Centre. The icing on the cake is I still have my tooth!!!! Dr. Ryan explained to me that the bacteria was coming from inside the tooth and that is why my gum infection was not going away and that pimple or boil would come and go because it was coming from within the tooth. Yet my former dentist said to me its was not a tooth problem it was a gum problem. Dr. Ryan did many tests prior to my root canal, tapping the tooth, electricity test, feeling for a fracture, examining the xrays I forwarded etc. Dr. Ryan did a great job, this is a day later and I have no pain, I am 100% and my gum infection is gone. He is a great person and dentist and His staff are kind and it was a good experience meeting all of them. Thank you so very much Dr. Ryan for saving my tooth! Arigato! Thank you very, very, very much!

I have been going to this office for many years, as have my husband and children. Our primary…read moredentist is Dr. Ma and all 4 of us can't say enough about how fantastic she is. Our family works with 2 hygienists for cleanings, Viktoriya and Kelly, both are top notch and work with extreme attention to detail! I have recently completed phase 1 of a tooth implant process. It happens to be one of my very front teeth and you can imagine how vulnerable that might make you feel. Dr. Kwong is the dental surgeon that did the procedure and I was nothing less than blown away at how easy and painless it all was. I experienced virtually no pain during or after the procedure. There was very little swelling and absolutely no bruising. At the moment I am fitted with a temporary tooth as the grafting takes place, I will get my permanent implant in July. I'd say he is extremely good at what he does. And I would also have to mention the women who run administration, Michelle and Karolina. Awesomely competent and well organized, super friendly too. As is everyone in the office! Karolina was also the assistant during my implant surgery and she was fantastic! This is an office that runs top to bottom like a high end and well oiled machine. We are big fans!

I am new to this Dental Centre. We were recommended by a close family friend and my husband has…read moregone there since he was a teenager. As an understatement, I really do NOT like dentists. I've had bad experiences as a kid/teenager. For weeks, and hours leading up to the appointment, I was getting anxiety and my husband reassured me I was in good hands. My first experience was with the front desk, and the young ladies were lovely and genuine. They had my insurance set up; I didn't need to lift a finger. In LESS THAN 12 hours I got my return from Sunlife (benefits company). It was so simple and quick! The actual office is state of the art, quick, and effective. Everything including X-rays are shown up on LCD TVs in front of you so you know what the dentists plan on fixing or improving. I had Kelly as my dental hygenist. She was kind, relatable, understanding, and empathetic. Did I mention she has a great sense of humour? She was professional and made me feel super comfortable. She demonstrates a true passion for her role and her attention to detail was impeccable. She also explained what plaque and tartar was and how it could impact teeth and gums. During the cleaning process I was fighting to stay awake! I was so relaxed I could have taken a nap! She gave me the remote to the TV and I watched TV and relaxed while she did her thing. Normally I would be gripping the edge of the chair in fear. Dr. Ma is very friendly and understanding. She has a great sense of humour and does her best to make her patients feel welcome. You can also see the openness she has with the hygienists and the sense of partnership they share. The experience from beginning to end has really reduced my fear of dentists and have already booked future appointments with anticipation. I am young and wanting to protect my teeth for decades to come. They have really changed my view of someone putting hands and loud gadgets in my face. Oh, and as a first patient they give you a welcome PINEAPPLE. A real pineapple. The fruit, as a welcome gift!!! Thanks! I'll be back for YEARS and will recommend ALL friends and family. :)

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 :)

I strongly regret choosing this dental office. My experience was extremely frustrating and…read morecompletely unacceptable. Before even booking my appointment, I specifically asked about the cost because my financial situation was important to me. I clearly asked whether my insurance would cover the treatment. I was told that my insurance would cover 80% and that I would only be responsible for the remaining 20%. Based on that information, I agreed to proceed with the treatment. Then, several months later, I received a letter saying that I owed an additional $120. I went to the office to discuss this because I had specifically asked about the coverage before receiving the treatment. Instead of taking responsibility and trying to resolve the situation, the manager, Ellen, basically told me that they had many new employees, the employee who gave me the information apparently didn't know what they were doing, that person is now in Toronto, and I still have to pay the $128.80 That is completely unacceptable. If I had known from the beginning that I might have to pay this amount, I would have made a different decision. That is exactly why I asked about the insurance coverage BEFORE booking the appointment. I did my part by asking in advance. If your staff gives a patient incorrect information, the patient should not be expected to pay months later because of the office's mistake. And unfortunately, my husband's experience with this office was also very disappointing. He had a filling done there and was not satisfied with the result at all. His tooth continued to hurt and, according to him, the pain was even worse after the treatment, yet the dentist did not take responsibility for the situation. There is another issue that I find extremely concerning: privacy and patient confidentiality. The office called my husband and said that one of us had a dental appointment but they were not sure whether it was him or me because their system was apparently mixed up. A dental office should have accurate patient records and should handle patient information with the utmost care. Mixing up patients' information and then calling the wrong person about an appointment is extremely concerning. I have documentation supporting everything I am describing here, including the communications regarding the insurance and the amount they later demanded. Overall, this has been one of the most frustrating experiences I've had with a dental office. Poor communication, incorrect information about insurance, lack of accountability, an unsatisfactory dental treatment experience, and serious concerns about how patient information is handled. I would not recommend this dental office based on my experience. Before getting any treatment here, I strongly recommend getting everything in writing, especially what your insurance will cover and exactly what you will be expected to pay.
