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 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.

My partner and I loved our experience here! We had both not had dental care in a few years, and…read morewere cautious about having an appointment during the pandemic...but we were taken care of above and beyond. Everyone was very friendly, professional, and vigilant with covid protocols. Dr. Israa Elgazzar is a great dentist. I don't think I've felt so comfortable, respected, and cared for by a dentist before. We can't wait to come back for our next cleaning!

I don't always go to the dentist. But when I do, I'm terribly scared…read more I went asking for an extraction, couldn't tolerate the excruciating pain anymore. First time, Dr Roach gave it a look and suggested waiting for Dr Quadir to make a root canal. Wait WHAT? I'd read all about root canals and I didn't want to, but he kindly explained the benefits so... Ok. First root canal session was considerably painful because of hot tooth. Instead of just "going for it", Dr Quadir gave me some medications, did a bit of temp filling and sent me home to wait for next week. Needless to say I was afraid, but I gotta admit she was kind and patient even with my 7-year-old-like behavior. The 2nd session was absolutely a different thing. With the hot tooth gone, I just felt a bit of pain some 3 or 4 times. That aside, it was as uncomfortable as a root canal can be but not painful at all. Both Dr Quadir and her assistant were very kind, always asking if I wanted to proceed (probably derived from my scared puppy behavior last time) or stop for a moment, evidently taking their time to make things right but without wasting it or anything. TL;DR: Awesome. If an odontophobic like me felt quite comfortable there, guess anyone will!

I've had my fair share of dental problems, and when first coming in to see Dr. Mah I had a whole new set to deal with. However this go-around, I felt the most at-ease than with any dentist I'd ever seen before. The level of professionalism from Dr. Mah is really unlike any I've experienced before. He really takes the time to explain everything to you from start to finish in a way that really makes you feel comfortable about every decision made. I was particularly impressed with the face-to-face introduction I had with him as well as the presentation he gave after my first exam so we could go over the "game plan" for getting my teeth as good as new. He fixed up my mouth SO well! He even fixed botched fillings that plagued me for so long I thought I was stuck feeling that way forever. What a relief that was! He's now my husband's dentist as well, and the both of us couldn't be happier with both him and his staff. We feel we're in very good hands here!

To really capture my experience with Dr. Charmaine Fong at Aarm Dental I need to provide a little…read morehistory. I'm from Ireland. We all know the reputation those from the British Isles have for dental hygiene; I guess it's because, at least in my experience, the dentists aren't very good. During one visit my dentist dropped out for lunch right in the middle of pulling 2 teeth, and I poured blood; another dentist pulled the wrong tooth for my sister. My twin brother also needed a filling and didn't receive enough anaesthetic and felt the drill boring into his tooth. The point is, I've been traumatized, and I think justifiably so ! Fast forward eighteen years. Yes, eighteen. I'm not proud of that, but what with bad experiences, and the fact that I travelled for years, I haven't been to a dentist in all that time. I finally booked an appointment after seeing favourable reviews for Aarm dental on Hornby as I felt pain in my teeth. I realised Aarm dental was different from that very first call. Jenna, the receptionist, truly listed to me - and even suggested I don't book my first visit on my birthday (which I was going to do) ! When I arrived for my appointment, Dr. Charmaine Fong listened to my concerns regarding dentists, then set about easing them. We spent about an hour or so going over dental history, taking X-rays, pointing out problem areas, etc. She made me feel comfortable, and that she really cared about me as a person and not just a customer. I told her I had a thing about pain, and that I was very nervous. She assured me that I was in good hands. It turned out the "pain" I was feeling was that I needed 6 fillings. We decided that 6 at once would be too much so we booked a second appointment, and started on the first 3. First she froze my gums with a pink mixture that tasted of bubblegum. After waiting about 10 minutes for it to take effect, she gave me a local anaesthetic with a needle. I was really worried about that ! She apologised, then manoeuvred her arm in such a way so I wouldn't see the needle. I honestly didn't feel a thing ! When I did feel some pain (for a split second) in the roof of my mouth, she warned me first and apologized again, after. Again, after a pause to let the drugs get to work, she got the fillings taken care of. After finishing we scheduled for my next visit. Since that first time, I've since been perhaps 4 other times, to complete work, or a cleaning, or a check up. I am so happy I took the plunge ! I've felt guilty about not going for so long, and it was something that was hanging over me. I now have no fear at all about going to the dentist. Dr. Charmaine Fong is an exceptional dentist, and really stressed the importance of maintaining a good dental routine every day with the right tools, and frequent visits to the dentist. I have since recommended her to my friends. My twin brother was even more traumatized than I was about dentists, but left the clinic smiling. I can't believe what I'm about to say - but I'm actually looking forward to my next visit. Thank you Dr. Fong !

I had NEVER heard of this before, but I went to the specific RMT she mentioned and it was life changing. Seriously. After just one session, my jaw pain was gone. I was so relieved and grateful! If Dr Lee hasn't suggested that, I'm not sure what I would have done.
