When I checked in for my consult appointment I was given literature (which I liked) which outlined all things wisdom teeth related. Dr. Bellamy checked my teeth and went over all the risks of leaving wisdom teeth in and taking the out, the risks of surgery. I found him to be very reassuring. When I checked in for surgery I was nervous about being sedated, however the anthesiologist was also very reassuring; I was comfortable enough to joke with the doctors and nurses in the surgical room up until I was knocked out. My recovery has been great, I was given very good instructions and surgery was great! I also received a call the same to day to check how I was doing. If you are going to dental surgery for wisdom teeth I strong recommend Dr. Bellamy!

Had to get my wisdom teeth extracted in December and my dentist referred me to Westcoat Oral in…read moreYaletown. I was so nervous before my appointment, I might have called them 4 times that week and not once did they dismiss me, instead, they were very understanding and helped calm my nerves. After the procedure, they made sure to call for follow ups to ensure I was doing ok. About 2.5 weeks after my extraction, I felt like something was stuck in my extraction site and i wasn't able to get rid of it. I called them and they told me to come in just the next day, did a thorough wash and did not charge me anything. I would highly recommend them for your next dentist appointment, they are very professional and warm.

I came here after being referred to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed. My two bottom teeth…read morewere impacted, one top one was not really coming in, and the other top one was coming in sideways in to my cheek. I met with Dr. Sadeghi for a consultation the day of my surgery. Much to my surprise, he was a super happy and upbeat character who was quick to answer any of my questions and put my worries at ease. If I had to have them removed again, I'd definitely come back to Dr.Sadeghi! I opted to have do IV sedation which I 100% recommend! Honestly, so much less anxiety-inducing than having the freezing. Although I have no memory of how I got from the dentistry chair to the recovery room chair, I do remember my initial waking up and honestly, other than being a little groggy, it wasn't bad at all. WestCoast Oral & Maxiollofacial Surgery give you a little take home goodie-bag when you have your wisdom teeth filled with the essentials that'll make your recovery easier. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS THEY GIVE YOU! As you should with any doctor, but I feel it must be emphasized so that you limit the amount of recovery time and reduce risks of drysocket. I was back to work the follow day with minimal swelling and very little pain. I'd recommend this location to anyone!

I was referred to North Shore Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery by Richmond Oral and Facial Surgery…read more My oral surgeon was Dr. Richard Chau. I came here to remove an infected rotten molar tooth. At first, I was really anxious and nervous because I had a painful experience with another tooth removal from somewhere else. Dr. Chau's staff on the phone reassured me and outlined me the options and pricing, regarding sedation or no sedation and put me at ease. The ladies at his front desk were so professional, patient and kind with me on the phone and in-person. In the end, I opted for no-sedation last minute because my dental insurance ran out so I had to save money as I am not employed anymore (lost my job due to Covid staffing cuts). Dr. Chau's front desk staff and a nurse were so kind and professional to me. I felt very welcome there. When it was time for my tooth removal, I was very nervous. Dr. Chau talked me through the removal, he said "I'm going to do this, and I will do this" and then in literally 2 seconds, he said, "Ok and it is out." I said, "What? That's it?" I was so surprised at how fast and smooth the extraction happened! I recommend to everyone that it is better if you get your tooth removed by an oral surgeon, since they have the expertise to do it correctly and quickly. I wish I had chosen an oral surgeon earlier like Dr. Chau to remove my other tooth too. Anyway, I have rebooked Dr. Chau to remove my next tooth, and I have confidence and much less fear now of getting a tooth extraction. I also found out that we can self-refer ourselves here. I had my dentist refer me for my 1st extraction, then I self-referred myself for my 2nd extraction. I highly recommend Dr Richard Chau and the polite professional staff here!

I was referred to Dr. Chau and I'm so glad I had mine done at this place! Form the moment I called this place to book an appointment for consultation, everyone includes receptionists, assistants, and Dr. Chau himself was very friendly and I couldn't be happier! Wisdom teeth extraction is something they do everyday so it's nothing special. But they understood that it was a big deal for me. They knew I was very nervous about the procedure and they explained the potential risks fully and recommended me to go under (get sedated). I'm very happy with the experience I had and I'd recommend this place to anyone who needs their wisdom teeth surgically removed.

Terrible. I had to…read moreget my wisdom teeth out. Or so I was told. Now sure, I'm unqualified to make that assessment. However, this doesn't pass a basic sniff test. Low and behold fast forward several years and my friends who are dentists confirm that yes, most wisdom teeth don't actually need to be pulled, but hey, if it's insured, bill them for it. I'm fairly certain this is why dentists and oral surgeons are always the bestest of friends. Well now, lets keep an open mind here and go with the assumption that although I never had any pain or symptoms or x-rays, that these teeth needed to be gone. We'll assume this was a professionally correct course of action. Onto the procedure. Now they put me under a general. Off to sleepy land for me. Before going under I placed one simple request. That was to make sure when I wake up I'm in no pain. A very reasonable request given the advanced state of modern pain medication. I have no allergies, and there's a chart provided to doctors with suggested dosing for a dizzying array of medications at their disposal. Well I wake up in searing pain. Not a dull tooth ache or some over exaggerated "give me more drugs" sort of pain, but piercing, stabbing pain which would make a medieval heresy court rethink their punishment. I've broken several bones, been hit by a car and have a tattoo; my trip to this ortho surgeon trumps them all. But I digress. The fact was they just hadn't bothered to give me anything for the post op pain. Plain and simple, just an oversight. They offered me some T3's which would have done something had I not explicitly explained prior, that codine and my stomach just don't get along. So now I'm sitting in this chair post op, in excruciating pain, mad as hell and unable to speak because my face is the size of a watermelon. My mom, embarrassed her son was irate was in a hurry to get me out of there, but wait, "we'll give him something for the pain they say" as they whip out a nice set of T3's. Being unable to talk of course if I recall correctly either my mom spoke up or they realized they had completely forgotten my clear and concise pre procedure memo I basically stapled on their forehead, but they corrected their error and offered me some alternative. So I left the office, irate, disgruntled and again, in the most immeasurable pain I've ever felt. Did I mention my wet shirt? Yes, you try taking some pills after you've had your wisdom teeth pulled and see just how much water stays in your mouth. Some 30-40 minutes later the pills began to numb the pain to a dull manageable level. One might say, the reasonable amount of discomfort a patient would expect to have after such a procedure. Now in all fairness I'm not a keyboard warrior. I'm not an unreasonable individual. Perhaps my expectations were mismanaged by my dental professionals. Perhaps this is the normality of it all and in fact having your wisdom teeth out is just an immensely painful experience wherever you go. I thought this might be the case and I didn't really ever think much more of it. However, several years later, after talking to some 30+ people about their wisdom teeth removal experience, (casually, you know, like you hear someone got their teeth pulled and you ask them how it was sort of thing) I now have enough data points to draw a statistically accurate and factual conclusion: I would feel more comfortable recommending Bill Cosby as a bartender than this place to get your wisdom teeth done.
