I have visited the Belmont Dental Centre in Langford BC as a new patient without any issues. The…read morehygienist managed to partially clean 4 front teeth with some deposits in about 30 minutes, and wanted me to come back for another session. Then came the new patient exam. I was told that a panoramic x-ray is required, as did not have one in the past 5 years. I agreed to that. Then the dentist came and started to tell me that additional nine (9) x-rays required before the new patient exam. I do not think that without looking on the panoramic x-ray, and without looking on the patient oral condition is reasonable to ask for 9 x-rays. However the dentist insisted. It was the point to walk away. The overall experience is poor. A caring doctor should listen a patients concerns, which in my case was for the excessive x-rays. Was no visual check or looking on the panoramic image was done prior requesting 9 additional x-rays. Overall the worst dental hygienist and worst dentist first impression experience.

The kind of hairstylist that will take the time at every appointment to ask all the right questions because perhaps you don't know how to ask, or maybe you're not even sure what you have in mind that day? Or how about when you are looking to find the best, honest mechanic in town that isn't going to rip you off because they know they could, but you want to leave the shop knowing your car is safe and isn't going to make that exact same noise in a week or two? Maybe you're not the type of person that cares to find the best of the best, but I am. I've always been very particular about my oral health and I used to leave my previous dentist office feeling like I was getting booked in for treatments I didn't need, they were redoing previous work that was done and had "failed," and after getting fillings done I always felt like my gums were all cut up, my teeth were super sensitive, there was residual products stuck to my teeth and I always had to go back for bite adjustments. I've been looking for someone to care about my teeth as if they were their own. At Whirlaway Dental, I can finally say I've found that. Dr. Negaar Nadji takes the time to listen to my questions and concerns and give me her recommendations as if my teeth were hers or her children's. As a new mom myself, I can't wait to bring my kids here as they grow and I can honestly say finding the perfect dentist has been happily checked off my list.

A year later after asking to be referred to a different dentist at this "group" we were told sorry we can't help your mother who has broken a tooth and needs urgent assistance. FYI, the written estimate was only $300 to tighten my mother's loose bridge, and I warned her it would only become worse, take a year of visits, and cost thousands to start over with new implants. But the dentist said it's simple to tighten the screw, she said, and it won't cost much at all. After breaking the bridge, she was left with nothing to eat with for months, had to go to a specialist downtown, and $15,000, and one inconvenient, painful year later, she had new implants and a bridge that wasn't loose. Don't even think about using this place unless you're prepared to hire a lawyer afterward to get compensation for expenses due to deceptive marketing and malpractice.

I am 55 years old and due to challenging dental experiences as a child, have always been very…read moreanxious going to the dentist. As the day approaches, so do the knots in my stomach. And then, once I'm there, spend the entire time, battling nerves, trying to pretend I'm fine, am like everyone else, not sweating through my clothes. Trying to act like shots of any kind don't freak me out. Add to that, that my mouth doesn't always seem to respond to the freezing the way it should. So, more often than not, I am not 100% frozen which ends up being quite painful and embarrassing. I recently returned to Victoria and had walked by Dr Pite's office quite frequently while walking my dog. Once I passed when the staff was coming back from lunch. They were laughing and seems happy, like they enjoyed their work and each other. I went home and checked them out on that MD rating site. Really good reviews. A couple days later, I was walking past with my husband and I said, Let's go here. We went in and made an appointment for a cleaning and check up. We filled out questionnaires and although I was a little nervous, it was only a cleaning. I am very good with hygiene and was hoping there would be no need for drilling or shots etc. Two weeks later, around a week before our cleaning, I bit into a wintergreen lifesaver and broke off my tooth! Panic. We called the office, but they are closed on Friday. We left a message on his cell. Keep in mind we were soon to be new patients, had never met him personally. Well, he called back and came in to the office to see me that afternoon, and filed down the sharp bits so I would be comfortable. He was very kind. The next week he was able to prepare my tooth for a crown. And I was very, very impressed. Like crazy impressed. He knew that I'd had bad experiences, he explained everything he was going to do, he jiggled my cheek for the shot and so it barely hurt and put the medicine in slowly so again it wouldn't be as uncomfortable. He checked with cold to make sure it was frozen, because I could still feel he gave me another jiggly shot, this one I almost didn't feel. He didn't start until my tooth was totally, totally numb. He offered me music which was a great idea and I was able to focus on that instead of all the drilling and noise. And it didn't hurt at all. Another first. It was the best dental experience of my life. I am 55 and for the first time, I don't feel afraid to go to my dentist and I'm real glad because he is young and that means I'll probably be dead by the time he retires and so I won't ever have to be scared again. If there was a ten star thing I could click on I would do that. Was the most stress free dentist visit I have ever had.

Dr Pite and the staff were caring and I can't say anything bad about the overall service, but in the end, the success of the procedure is what matters.
