Initially, I went to Highland Dental due to a referral for implants. For a variety of reasons, I've…read moreyet to get any implants but I've had a lot of work done on my teeth at Highland Dental Center by Dr. Srokowski and Sandra (a true dental artist!) and the team. Years ago I had a front crown done by a well known dentist in Burlington. The backing was made of a solid black material AND it was slightly crooked. It looked awful. They told me there was nothing they could do about it to improve it's appearance. As I had since moved to Hamilton, I went to a new recommended dentist on Upper James. Altho they did some good work over the years, they also said that there was really nothing they could do to fix/replace that front crown which would be any better. At that point, some of the adjacent teeth were looking dodgy as well. Dr. Srokowski and his 'dental artist' Sandra, took a look and said he would replace that crown with a white one which would be strong and look so much better. He also offered to fix the adjacent teeth as well. I was a tad leary but very excited. I'd looked at that horrid crown for a long time. I can honestly say it limited the amount of smiling I did. Over the next couple weeks I had many appointments, some of which were efforts by Dr. Srokowski and Sandra to achieve the 'perfect' colour and fit for my new crown. Then the adjacent teeth were fixed and all look amazing. Dr. Stokowski and Sandra took real time and effort to get it just right, sending the crown back to the lab to adjust colour of size as needed. It's been a good six months since I had the work done and I am just so pleased with the results and grateful. I should warn you tho....this is a busy office with a zillion things seeming to go on at once. At first I thought it all sounded like a lot of confusion and was very different from the quiet serene atmosphere I'd experienced at previous dental offices. I soon learned that it all works well and the high activity can be a welcomed distraction. I would highly recommend Dr. Srokowski and his dental artist "Sandra" along with their friendly support team. Karen C, Stoney Creek, On

When I was 12 years old I was told I needed braces. After being referred to another orthodontist in…read moreHamilton, I was told I would need jaw surgery before getting the braces (I had a bit of an overbite). My parents refused to do the surgery at such a young age and I tried another orthodontist about 4 years later. This orthodontist also would not work on me without referring me to a surgeon so I, again, suffered with crooked teeth for 4 more years! Finally, at age 20, my boyfriend told me about his orthodontist, and I went to see Dr. Schacher. Right away I was told that surgery was unnecessary and was given multiple options as to how I could acquire braces and fix my bite without extensive surgery. I was given x-rays and molds of my teeth and eventually, a plan was given to me on how we would straighten my teeth. Dr. Schacher started out by having me wear a "bite plate" for 6 months. What this is, is basically a small wire bar that goes across the roof of your mouth, with a little piece of plastic preventing you from biting down too far. Eventually, when the bite plate is removed, your bite is how it should be!! While I had my bite plate, I was referred to an oral surgeon named Dr. Boyko, who removed my wisdom teeth as well as two others in the front (teeth need to be removed before braces to allow for more room for the teeth to move). After my mouth healed from my teeth being removed, I had my bite plate removed and finally got my braces. For almost 3 years I had braces and finally got them taken off in January of 2011. I am extremely happy with the results and truly believe that it wouldn't be possible without Dr. Schacher! Now, aside from the Orthodontist himself, the environment of his offices (he has 3) are so extremely friendly, you won't want to leave. You walk in and are instantly welcomed by his amazing receptionists and other employees. Everyone understands your needs and caters to them any way they can. They have flat screen TVs in front of the dental chairs so you can watch Disney movies while you have work done during your appointment (it is always Disney movies playing as most people with braces are much younger than I was when I had mine). They are currently working on installing a movie theatre inside the Barton Street (Stoney Creek) office, just like Dr. Schacher's other office in Brantford. You can get different colour elastics for your braces so your teeth can be a different colour after each appointment. Even though I was in my 20s while I had braces, I still took advantage of the colour options (what can I say, you can actually have fun with this!). I truly believe that if you or your child needs braces, you should give Dr. Schacher a chance. I could have had braces when I was 12 years old and didn't, because I had never heard of this amazing man and my other referrals obviously aren't as experienced as Dr. Schacher is. I should also mention that the fee you pay for his services is never going to grow. You decide upon a cost for your procedures and that is what you pay. If you break your bite plate, braces or retainers, you will get them replaced for free. The only additional fees you may encounter will be for referrals to the oral surgeon if you also need teeth removed.

Excellent and professional hygienists and dentists. While I was having my cleaning done I listened…read moreto some soothing meditation-type music coming from the TV in the hygienist's room. I haven't had regular dental care in quite some time and was very pleased that I was x-rayed and photographed from every conceivable angle and was also given a thorough cancer screening by the dentist, Dr. Mohammed. As a result of the x-rays, I discovered I have periodontal disease and am now taking fastidious care of my teeth and gums; I'm using a gum detoxifying toothpaste that the hygienist gave me a sample of, a mouthwash that she recommended and flossing properly as she showed me. The only negative for me is that I think the reception staff could be less perfunctory...be a little more welcoming when patients arrive which would help alleviate nervousness (about both the visit and the bill).

I was so apprehensive about going to the dentist after a series of health events which resulted in unhealthy teeth and gums. Let's face it, I was down right scared. That was until I got to know the staff at East Gate Dental Centre. They all took the time to explain things to me and listen to my concerns.

At East Gate Dental Centre, from reception all the way through, everyone is so friendly, professional, gentle, understanding and knowledgeable. Dr. Rival, the Dental Surgeon, is amazing!

Dr. Rival takes the time to explain what needs to be done, explains options and makes sure you understand what is happening and why, which is exactly how it should be.
