Dr. Eric Bussières took over this practice from Dr. Michael Racich. Our whole family had been…read moreseeing Dr. Racich for years and we really liked his calm, capable, and well-informed work (he is even an author of dentistry books!). When Dr. Racich left (suddenly/unexpectedly) I started seeing "Dr.B"--Dr. Bussières. Dr. B is competent and well-educated. Unfortunately I have A LOT of problems with my teeth and I was very used to Dr. Racich's cautious attitude. I have some of the thinnest enamel possible and I'd had previous dental work done where the dentist didn't even ask permission to diamond disc between two teeth. As such, I'm *very* nervous at the dentist. I found that Dr. Bussières has more of a straight-forward attitude (compared to Dr. Racich's caution) and decided to fill 2 small cavities that were side-by-side at the same time. (Previously, Dr. Racich would do 1, wait to make sure things were okay, and then done the next, when they were touching between teeth.) As a result, I had excruciating pain on that side, and couldn't chew anything, a mere week before I left on a month-long vacation. (edited to add: Dr. Bussières did come in on a day off to try and fix the problem before I left town, but it was not a one-visit kind of fix and I was apprehensive to have more work done). I have since switched dentists but I believe my dad (who has less dental issues) and my mom (who has lots of dental issues) still see Dr. Bussières. So this is just my personal experience.

I love Dr. B. My partner and I both go there and have nothing but good experiences. I've had to be…read morein three times in the last several months for a cleaning (the hygienist is also amazing and hilarious), a root canal, and a filling. They gave me the most comprehensive exam I've ever had, and actually told me the state of my teeth and dental health, which I've never had. The root canal was far less intimidating once Dr. B explained everything and he and his staff were very attentive. And no pain during, or after my filling! Numbing gel + a small shot = I don't feel a thing, and they let me listen to my iPod during the procedure, so my anxiety is minimal. Plus Camille, the receptionist is really nice, helpful, and well versed on insurance coverage.

I've had my fair share of dental problems, and when first coming in to see Dr. Mah I had a whole new set to deal with. However this go-around, I felt the most at-ease than with any dentist I'd ever seen before. The level of professionalism from Dr. Mah is really unlike any I've experienced before. He really takes the time to explain everything to you from start to finish in a way that really makes you feel comfortable about every decision made. I was particularly impressed with the face-to-face introduction I had with him as well as the presentation he gave after my first exam so we could go over the "game plan" for getting my teeth as good as new. He fixed up my mouth SO well! He even fixed botched fillings that plagued me for so long I thought I was stuck feeling that way forever. What a relief that was! He's now my husband's dentist as well, and the both of us couldn't be happier with both him and his staff. We feel we're in very good hands here!

I'm a new patient of Dr. Mah's and thus far, I feel he's great. Through his consultative approach,…read morewe were able to identify potential areas that could be improved upon that I hadn't though of before.

I couldn't be more appreciative of Dr Mah and his team :)

I was referred here by a colleague of mine when I moved to Vancouver and needed to go to the…read moredentist. They are awesome! (Awesome enough to make me want to write a yelp review!) On your first visit to the office, you don't sit down in the dentist chair right away - instead Dr. Marshall takes you into his office and has a little "teeth chat" - he goes over any problems you've had in the past, worries/concerns you have, or hopes for the future. Yes, hopes for your teeth. Then you're ushered into the light and airy dental chair areas and get the inspections done by fantastic hygienists (Mel is awesome!) while getting a view of the North Shore mountains. They also have blankets for you if you ever feel chilly! They are very thorough - whenever you need work done, the dentists explain exactly what has happened, and the various courses of action that they can take to fix it. I've often sat in the chair with a hand mirror, while the dentist shows me something on my teeth or gums. Fascinating - these guys really love teeth. They are excellent dentists too - very precise with their work, and I've never had pain when they're working on my mouth! The only downside is that apparently they are on the expensive end of dentistry, but it's totally worth it for me to know that I have experts working on my teeth! However, if money's tight for you, ask them to do an insurance proposal for anything they plan on doing - so you know what you're getting into. The office is always happy to do that, and abide by my wishes! I have referred three of my friends to the Drs Marshall office and everyone has been happy with them too!

My husband and I have been going to see Dr. Bruce Marshall since we moved to Vancouver. He was…read morereferred to us by our neighbor, a Professor of Dentistry from UBC, so we considered that a very credible endorsement. Bruce, his assistant Ting and his hygienist Mel are outstanding. My first visit with Dr. Marshall involved a sit-down in his office with a discussion about my dental health and my goals for my teeth. I had never previously experienced that level of concern over my chompers and it wasn't until then that I realized my teeth had been under-achievers! Dr. Marshall is a fabulous technician but what sets him apart from his peers are his excellent communication skills and his focus on making your dental experience as pleasant as one could have in a dental chair. From the second that you sit down you are told that you are the boss and if something isn't working for you, changes will be made until it does work for you to get the desired result. What other dentist calls you to check how you are doing after a procedure and gives you their personal cell phone number to call if there are any problems once so ever? Other than dentist drills sounding like they are noises being emitted from the final circle of hell (unavoidable), Dr. Marshall has created an environment that even the most fearful dental patient would have to admit is actually quite pleasant. My husband and I have recommended him to friends and colleagues and we would not hesitate to do so again in the future.

Dr. McKay is an experienced, talented, ethical, knowledgeable, friendly and communicative dentist,…read morewhom I can enthusiastically recommend without hesitation. The office staff are very accommodating when booking appointments, and effectively manage to limit the waiting time. I first visited Dr. McKay based on the glowing endorsement of a highly respected oral surgeon, who has been Dr. McKay's patient for many years. I wanted to see a trustworthy and skilled dentist who could provide a second opinion on my (now previous) dentist's advice to get crowns on my upper teeth to repair the damage done through excessive wear and fix a faulty bite. This is a prohibitively expensive and aggressive procedure, which involves the filing, reduction and reshaping of existing teeth in order to make room for the porcelain caps. Thank goodness I received a second opinion! Not only did Dr. McKay clearly explain why I didn't need crowns, but he recommended a far cheaper and more conservative treatment--bonding--which would repair, strengthen, protect and improve the appearance of my teeth without reducing their size or integrity. Last week, Dr. McKay, with the help of his excellent assistant, spent over two hours painstakingly performing the bonding procedure on my upper and lower teeth. Before starting, he clearly summarized what was going to happen, and then just before each step in the process, either he or his assistant would explain precisely what would happen next. I appreciated the high level of communication throughout the procedure, which Dr. McKay performed to perfection. Not only did Dr. McKay do a superb job with my teeth, but he saved me well over $10,000! It takes me 60-90 minutes to drive to his office in North Vancouver, but I would never consider going anywhere else for my dental work.

Worst experience at a dentist in my entire life. Dr. Zokol was referred to me through my regular…read moredentist for an implant procedure. His staff lied to me, which was very unethical. They said that the implants always work and there is no risk of failure. When the implant failed, he did not diagnose properly. He NEVER listened to my complaints of pain. He did not take it out for a month. I was in excruciating pain, had to visit emergency 3 times. I ended up being off of school and work for a nearly a month and was at risk of not completing the semester due to poor attendance for required classes. He was extremely arrogant and difficult to deal with. I felt ripped off and mistreated. I would NEVER recommend him and I would suggest that anyone considering this dentist get a second opinion before seeing him.

I had Dr. Cheevers for an emergency appointment when my regular dentist was away. He seemed nice…read moreenough at first, but soon started accusing me of having bulimia because I had "acid erosion" on my teeth. I have never had a dentist mention anything like this to me in all my 30+ years, I asked my normal dentist about it afterwards and he said there are many things that cause it - soft drinks, wine, I am also a tooth grinder who now wears a nightguard, but I have worn down spots on my back molars from grinding as a child. Anyways, my issue isn't that Dr. Cheevers brought this up, I feel that is fair as a healthcare professional, it's that he wouldn't drop it after as I tried to defend myself. Looking at me sympathetically and saying it was "my problem" and how I chose to deal with it was my choice, but that's what had caused it, so end of story type thing.
