So, I have to be honest. I'm not entirely sure how to review a dentist, so please bare with me…read more My family dentist, which I've been going to since before I can remember. I've always had the same dentist, and it's definitely a good way to do it. First of all, I should say that they recently renovated and for a waiting room, their waiting room is quite nice. I never have to spend much time in there, either. If I have an appointment at 11:30, I almost always get in by 11:40. This is one of the best things, I think, a health office can offer. Short waiting times. So, on to the actual treatment. They're a dentist. They do the horrible scrape-y bit, they polish your teeth, floss, and give you some nasty fluoride to stick in your mouth for a while. None of it is very fun. There's no way around that, so I'm not gonna complain about it. However, they are very thorough and keep up a constant stream of patter. Plus, they don't ask you questions while their hands are in their mouths; that can be very annoying. They're also very good for getting things done. Today I needed two teeth capped, they did it right after my cleaning. That is awesome. So, the people are friendly. They ask how I'm doing, what I've been up to. They remember me. The dentistry itself is good, they notice when things are wrong and offer good advice (more than just the token 'Floss more!'), and help you stay healthy. Plus, they have really groovy sunglasses to protect your eyes from the lights. What more could you want?

I have been a patient of Dr Carr for many years and received excellent care…read more I went to a different clinic for a short time, right after moving back to Halifax. I did it purely because it was closer to my house, and came to deeply regret that decision. Dr Carr was happy to take me back and was able to help me with a potentially serious problem that the dentist at the other clinic missed. I also get my routine cleanings and check ups done here. The hygienists are great and I've never had a complaint about their work. Like most dental clinics, they will do direct billing to most insurance companies if you have coverage and bring your card with you.

I see Dr. Russell MacSween, and he is so great at putting me at ease. He is also so gentle you can hardly even tell he's checking your teeth.

I am a nervous wreck when it comes to Dentists, usually because of horrible past experiences (not…read moreenough freezing to mention one) but Halifax Dental Centre is a breath of fresh air! The staff are so friendly, and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Stephen Creaser has a true passion/love for his job. He explains all of the steps he is taking and insured that I was completely comfortable (yay no pain!!). He also takes photos of your teeth! So at the end of your appointment you get to see (from his view) what he did, why and how! Its pretty (gross) cool! Dr. Creaser's prices are really reasonable too! Their staff are really helpful when it comes to insurance as well! I actually am looking forward to my next appointment, not really, but I definitely am more comfortable with the thought of going!!

I hate the Dentist…read more Most of us do That being said, I've never had any problems with my Dentist, or hygienists. They remember me, and are always up for small talk, sometimes hard to do since i have my mouth full. Very clean, very organized. The normal cleanings are fairly quick, and i am always told I need to floss more. I always leave with some floss and a toothbrush. 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!

The hygienists, assistants, and receptionists are always so very pleasant that it makes going to the dentist quite fun! I would definitely recommend going here if you want good and honest dental work!

Going to the dentist is not the funnest thing in the world to do! Let's face it, drilling through…read moreyour teeth with a drill, or filling them with a tool that acts as sand paper, or squirting water at you or even wacking floss between your Perle whites, is far from fun! I will however, give a big thumbs up to the Mumford Family Dental Center. Dr. Brower and Dr. Moore are the kindest, funniest people in the industry of dental work! Whenever I visit the dentist, I go home with a big smile on my face. They make me feel welcome, help me laugh to keep my mind off the work they are doing and I never wait for my appointment. I will never change my dentist and I will continue to refer my friends and family there!

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!

I have been served by Lawen Dentistry since the day it opened. Not once in all that time have I…read morebeen less than completely satisfied. 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.

Operated on a SIX year old while sedated. The child got upset after 2 things being done, and they…read morerefused to operate further. The child's mother informed them that their ride was far away(30+ minutes), and regardless of this, the couple were escorted out the back door, and the mother and child were left on the sidewalk while the SIX year old could not hold up their own head, nor stand. Several people drove by and asked the pair why they were sat on the hot sidewalk while the child screamed. Once the pairs ride had ARRIVED, a hygienist came outside and approached the mother while getting into her vehicle and exclamation she was "unaware" that their ride was far away, and that they may come back inside to wait for the vehicle that they were now GETTING INTO. Someone messed up big time here, and they didn't try to correct it until someone that saw this pair sat in the heat went into the building and expressed concern for the pair.

"Unbelievable" orthodontic consultant…read more I have already visited seven orthodontic clinic and this is the only one that neither do any professional check(e.g. x-ray, photo) nor free. All I did here is an assistant introduced me invisalign and braces, and then a doc came and did some simple check. Then the doc said: yes we could do it. Done. No advice, no plan. I even hesitate can they really do orthodontic treatment. The most surprised me part is it charge me without any informing. I have done this consultant in seven clinic and none of them charged me(while that maybe not usual), one of them informed me before I booked the appointment(so that I could decide if I would go). For general dentist request, I don't know. But for orthodontic, definitely not.

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

Up until this point in my life, I would probably never consider recommending any dentist I've ever…read morehad. It just kind of... need a dentist, find a dentist, go to the dentist. 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.
