I had a very positive first experience with this office…read more I am not a native Canadian, so the dental insurance system was not familiar to me. I stopped by on a late afternoon to ask about the process, and the administrative assistant was very helpful and patient in explaining everything to me. I really appreciate the fact that this office is open evenings on certain weekdays, so that I don't have to take time off of work. Yes, one might need to book 6 weeks in advance for one of their highly-coveted evening appointment slots, but I had no problem with that. When I finally went for my appointment, the hygienist was very polite. The patient rooms have TV to stay entertained. Each step of the appointment moved very efficiently (visual inspection, xrays, pick cleaning, polishing, flossing, fluoride (the last of which is not part of standard procedure in the 'States, in my experience)). The dentist was very thorough, and not only had me take x-rays twice because one of them was not clear, but also told me he wanted to consult a more experienced dentist in the office later in the week because there was a potential problem spot (everything ended up being ok). I never felt like I was being upsold on anything. Everything was quite thorough. They even gave me lab safety googles so that accidental gushes of liquid didn't spray me on my face while I was laying down -- so courteous. The one half-joking criticism I might have would be that they were almost too concerned for my comfort, such that I feel like they were being TOO gentle during my polishing and flossing! Also, maybe it's because I'm from a place where dental visits are relatively bare-bones, but I was shocked to have received not just a normal tooth brush but and electronic tooth brush in my post-visit goodie bag. I look forward to each subsequent visit being just as pleasant as my first.

As someone who grew up hating the dentist and dreading my dental appointments it takes a lot for me…read moreto enjoy a visit to my dentist. Dr Toews has the best attitude towards his patients. 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 :)

This is a Negative Review of Dr. Pahlavan,…read more Three years ago, Dr. Pahlavan replaced one of my crowns. She said it will be a zirconia crown. Later on when I had a check up, another dentist said this is only a porcelain crown, not zirconia which is much stronger. On another occasion, Dr. Pahlavan recemented a crown that came loose. Because there was too much cement placed inside the crown, the bite was very high. Dr. Pahlavan adjusted the bite on the top and bottom crowns. As a result, she made a hole in the bottom crown. Later on a cavity developed in this tooth. As a result, I now need a root canal treatment and a new crown costing more than $3,500.00 Had she check the bite before curing the cement, this may never have occurred.

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 did a google search for a pediatric dentist that specializes in children with special needs and anxiety and Playtime Pediatrics came up as highly rated. Well they deserve that rating and higher! My daughter was able to go through an entire checkup, cleaning and even x-rays in her first visit. From the moment we entered the clinic, everything was relaxed and easy. Our hygienist Katelyn was so patient, positive and encouraging. She explained everything to my daughter and made her (and me) feel so at ease. Dr. Raylin was just as great and explained all our options for treating some cavities. We are beyond happy to have found Playtime Pediatrics!

They spend time talking about dental habits and had lots of toys and stuffed animals to pretend to clean teeth. There's a TV and lots of books and toys. Definitely very patient staff! Dr. Ella Choi comes in at the end and is super friendly. We as parents assisted with the check up for assessing the mouth. It was quick enough that it didn't seem traumatic for my son. At the end, kids get to go to the toy chest for a treasure. It seemed like a positive enough experience that we booked for a follow up check up in 6 months time for my toddler.
