You will be greeted by Susan, the one that is always smiling and can answer any questions you throw at her! Dental Hygienist, Rafael, goes beyond the call-of-duty and offers advice and suggestions that no one has ever shared with me before, and the tips all make so much sense. He is also a gentle Hygienist - I never worry about enduring discomfort when I have my quarterly visits with him. Speaking of gentle, Dr. Olivar is compassionate to your needs and how you feel. She tells the truth and there are no hidden agendas when it comes to Dr. Olivar. Most importantly, besides her exceptional dentistry, is that she LISTENS. Thank you to all the Staff at Towngate Dental Centre! I would highly recommend paying them a visit.

The dentist was so calming and nice, she didn't rush the job and continually asked me if I was okay during the procedure. She made sure to explain every single thing they were going to do beforehand and made the overall experience wonderful.

Lighthouse Dental was absolutely amazing right when you walk in the office is beautiful, and the staff is very friendly. Inside the back of office everything is very new. It was cool to see my whole mouth layed out on a computer screen. Showing all the rough patches that had formed over the pass 2 years of neglect. The staff worked within our insurance to quickly and efficiently get our teeth all fixed up. They planned out our next year of dental work and listened to our needs. There hours and cancellation policy are stricter than other offices. However this means that Everytime you go you get the same dentist who knows you and your concerns. It is not like one of those chain offices were you end of having to explain your situation to every new dentist you get. Can't recommend them enough!

He has a very light touch for both cavities and oral surgery. He will also take the time to explain and answer any of your dental questions. His enthusiasm is also unmatched. I never thought I would ever recommend a dentist TOO ANYONE. Dr Torre presents a very calm demeanour and also has a very light touch when filling cavities. He too is very attentive with all my oral hygiene and tooth related inquiries. These two are the only dental professionals I trust!!!! I have recommended them to all of my friends, and have heard back that they too will never book anywhere else. Life dental is unlike any other dental experience I have ever had; they are very professional and I find my healing time is quicker than ever. The proof is in the pudding. And this pudding is exceptional :)

We've been looking for a new dental clinic since our go-to hygienist retired. Not completely…read moresatisfied with other dentists' results in the interim, we scheduled an appointment at River District Dentistry after reading about the clinic online. One of the big draws for us was that they use the latest technology for their dental work, which was detailed on their website. I'm happy to say our search is over as we were very impressed with the new patient overview and initial teeth cleaning. The entire staff was welcoming and made us feel right at home. Jesse and Amanda are two of the friendliest receptionists I've ever met! Niki was super nice and very patient as she guided us through the introductory process (consisting of panoramic + standard angle X-rays, full dental photos, questionnaire & dental review with the doctor). Victor and Shannon, our hygienists that day, were extremely thorough during the cleaning process and never made us feel rushed. There are two doctors at this clinic; we met with Dr. Biddle during our first visit. I immediately appreciated Dr. Biddle's method of presentation as he was going through the review of the new patient questionnaire and dental images. He took the time to really listen to my concerns and never seemed pushy with any procedure he mentioned. After presenting all the facts, he gave his opinion in a non-forceful manner, then truly left it up to me to decide if I wanted any procedure. I say "truly" because even though any dentist will need to abide by the patient's choices in the end, their method of "recommendation" can vary greatly. My regular dentists at the previous clinic were extremely pushy about getting all sorts of dental procedures done. This urgency made it seem like my teeth were about to fall apart, which was odd because overall I felt they were relatively healthy with some minor issues. I didn't appreciate this insistency of dental procedures at the previous clinic as it made their recommendations appear to be money grabs from insurance (I'm not sure if this was the real reason, but it sure came across like that). Dr. Biddle was nothing like this at all and gave us really good vibes right from the beginning. As suspected, the overall health of my teeth was confirmed; I just needed to keep an eye out for a few problem areas. The clinic itself was warm and welcoming. Even though they've been in business three years already, the place looked brand new and sparkling clean... a great reassurance when allowing someone to probe your teeth and gums with publicly-shared instruments! We will definitely be long-term patients here and are extremely thankful to the staff for providing such a great experience at, who would have thought, the dentist!
