Worst dentist on the planet!!! Go to someone else! Dr. Yu bonded my six front teeth on top and…read morebadly cracked my front tooth (I believe on purpose) causing the bonding to also crack. So, now I have a horrible dark line and crack running up/down the middle of my front tooth and she has refused to fix it! It has caused a severe loss of self-confidence so that I never smile anymore, something I used to always get complimented on before she ruined my teeth. This dentist is horrible!!! It will cost me well over $2,000 or more to get my tooth fixed now because I will have to have it porcelain veneered now and a crown applied. She broke my tooth, I believe on purpose, and now refuses to fix it or pay to have it fixed. She doesn't care about you, she only wants to take your money! Cold hearted woman! Terrible dentist!!! Find some dentist that cares about their work and their reputation. Dr. Yu clearly doesn't!

I'm quite happy with the Invisalign treatments I had with Dr. Cziraki. It took two years, as…read moreoriginally planned and I am now using retainers (one of them being a lingual wire on the bottom teeth). In terms of my treatment, everything went smoothly because the invisaligns are pre-moulded to progress on a certain schedule and all you have to do is commit to it. Meaning, wear the elastics and wear the aligners as prescribed. Any issues I had, I reported to Dr. Cziraki's staff and either the staff or Dr. Cziraki would correct my course of treatment as necessary. Sure, as other filtered reviews have mentioned, Dr. Cziraki isn't in the office all the time due to other locations but I made sure to schedule my appointments when she was in the office. I think the issue here that irked me as well is that the office has batched breaks so they take appointments for X number of weeks and if they're off for Y number of weeks, you have to wait until everyone's in the office again. It's not a continuous daily schedule like other orthodontists. Plus, treatment only happens at one location - I once tried to schedule my appointment at the downtown location and they refused. Have my teeth been corrected to the perfect position as I would've liked? Well not 100% but enough that my teeth are straight again, my bite no longer creates the sharp pains I had before, and I'm happy with my smile. As Dr. Cziraki explained, adult teeth are a bit more stubborn so I can't expect my teeth to be absolutely in perfect position as they would be in my youth. Braces or Invisaligns? I've had braces before and those are a complete pain. Brackets can fall off, wires poke and cut, and dental movement gave me bad headaches. With invisaligns, all I really had to worry about was sharp plastic rubbing against my lips but that could be fixed with filing down the plastic. Also, the dental pain from movement wasn't as severe and there was no need for Tylenol. I must admit, invisaligns were probably much pricier than the braces but it was worth the trouble. A dentist friend of mine recommended to shop around but it was a little too late since I had already made a down payment. Plus, I'm still glad I went with Dr. Cziraki despite scheduling issues. Her staff is attentive and, like I said, I'm happy with my treatment.

I do not recommend this orthodontist. I am seriously shocked…read morehow they still manage to be in business. It has been 5 years of treatment. My teeth are aligned although the bite is not perfect. But I've gotten past that and just want it to be over because I don't want to deal with this incompetent clinic anymore. Total cost: $6000 and countless hours of waiting in the patient chair because they overbook appointments. That or the Dr is terrible at time management. They have so many clients that they treat you like cattle. Their focus is on making money, not on you as a client or your wellbeing. They will do whatever they can to maximize profit from you even if it is unethical. Eg. take various x-rays every year to show how the teeth have 'moved' but this takes the yearly x-ray away from your general practitioner (Dentist) to check for cavities, unless you have unlimited extended health benefits. They will try to make you use their dentists, even try to sell you botox and teeth whitening. Every time the care coordinator comes at me with a giant smile, I know she's going to sell me something. (The smile is probably because she is looking at me but all she sees is $money opportunity$). The front desk staff are visibly burnt out and morale is low. The office manager is the most unfriendly person I have ever met in the customer/health service industry. Turnover of the technicians seems high. It is disgusting how they move from one client to the next, sometimes without changing gloves. The layout is an open concept but this is terrible for client confidentiality and it is extremely crammed in there so technicians will always squeeze around you. I see lots of photos of the Dr with celebrities, and her on the newspaper. Well guess what, this has nothing to do with the service you are about to get. I have absolutely nothing good to say about this clinic. Please do yourself a favour and continue your research for a better orthodontist, bring your hard earned money elsewhere. Name and 'reputation' are nothing. I regret using this clinic.

In fact, he recently returned from a conference sporting the latest medical binocular loupes. I recently visited Tom for a tooth ache which required some freezing and cutting.

I would highly recommend Tom for all your dental needs. Although I'm not sure if he's taking new patients right now. But who knows? Maybe you'll get lucky!

I saw my dentist who I advised I would need a root canal and was referred to Dr Rene Chu of Oakridge Endodontics. I had an initial consult with Dr Chu where x-rays were taken and he explained in detail the process. A root canal is required when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected, inflamed, or dies due to severe decay. The root canal removes the infected pulp, cleans the root canal, and seals it to save the tooth from extraction. The root canal appointment was made for the following week. The root canal procedure went very well. Each step of the process was explained as they went and they continually checked to ensure I was ok. There was a short debrief after the procedure and I was provided instructions / information on what to expect for the next few days. It was a very positive dental procedure and happy to recommend Dr Chu and Oakridge Endodontics if one is needing a root canal.

That said, I was referred to Drs. Conn by my dentist for a Root Canal. Just the phrase makes people cringe. I can't say when I've been more impressed by the service provided. Never mind, the surgery itself was less disturbing than getting a Filling. Now that's saying something! I've been around the block, quite a few times, and Drs. Conn are consummate professionals in every way. Their staff are also wonderful to deal with, every single one of them. Anyone saying otherwise needs to look in the mirror. I understand that some people are terrified of dentists, but they need to seek other professional help prior to attending to limit the stress they are putting on the dentist.

The staff are engaging, friendly and keep you informed as to what they are doing.

He put my info and scans into the Invisalign system to make sure it would work. I had gotten Invisalign which I thought I may not have been able to get/use as I thought I would to have actual metal braces.
