I recently moved to Montréal and needed to find a dentist…read more I visited Dr. Achilles Tsialtas at the Queen Elizabeth center today and I have to say it was the best dentist experience I have ever had. I know it's not usual to get so ecstatic about a dental visit - but if you've ever had a bad one you know how important it is. Several pluses right off the bat: -Nice receptionist who explained everything to me clearly -Just one block away from the Vendome metro station. I don't live anywhere near that part of town and it was still easy to get there. -I was able to get an appointment for the next day the first time I called. -Fully bilingual office. The visit itself was excellent. I had an incredible hygienist/assistant named June who was pleasant to talk to and answered every single one of my neurotic tooth-related questions. And though my visit with Dr. Tsialtas was brief (thankfully, my teeth were fine) I appreciated his straightforward and caring manner. And although this didn't directly affect my visit, I really appreciated that there was such a diversity of clients present: Westmount grandmothers mixing with new immigrants from all over, and, well, me - a recent and still clueless immigrant from America. These people make me want to take good care of my teeth. If you need a dentist, go here.

Great dental clinic! Front staff very helpful, caring and upfront! Dr. Tsialtas is amazing! Took…read morethe time to explain everything! You can definitely tell that this clinic cares more about the relationship and not the wallet. What I thought was great is that there are several dentists available on different days. In case of emergency, there's always someone who can see you!

Could not have had a better experience! I needed to get a tooth extracted, and they had an…read moreappointment available for me within a few days. The staff is great and Dr. Dostie was very personable and reassuring. I had my procedure yesterday and have felt almost no pain! Such a great job.

Very disappointed. I was referred here to have my lower wisdom teeth removed. It happened on a…read moreFriday and by Sat. evening, ice packs and pain meds were doing nothing. I was in so much pain that I called the service for help/relief. I was told that this was "normal" and to stick it out. I made 1 trip to the emergency clinic, 1 trip back to Maxillo, 1 trip to the hospital emergency department, 1 trip to my own doctor and then one trip down to the Jewish general for IV antibiotics. All because I wasn't prescribed antibiotics when they removed my already abscessed wisdom teeth and because they wouldn't listen or, take me seriously when I told them that the pain was intolerable.

Dr. Anthony Seminara has taken over from the now retired Dr. Bruce Dobby…read more As you can imagine, changing dentists can be a bit nerve-wracking but I had the opportunity to see him at work. I had a large amalgam filling changed out on April 1st and am pleased and relieved to report that he is the gentlest dentist that I've ever had. It took barely an hour to replace the filling and the entire procedure was painless. He was calm as he worked which helped me calm down, and his assistant was a Pro with the suction tube. Not once did I have to gargle and gasp to bring attention to rising "water levels". So now I have a fabulous new white tooth where the dull grey one was and I'm no longer self-conscious about smiling. Change is good, but not too much at one time so I love the fact that Dr. Seminara kept Dr. Dobby's old crew. Yay!

Today, a Friday afternoon, is my first time coming here as a patient. I came for a full exam (and a…read morecleaning). The clinic is situated on the THIRD flood on a big building. Personally, I had a little trouble finding it. [Basically, take the elevator to the 3rd flood and find room 308. Not 310) The receptionist can seem a little harsh, but she's really quite nice in my opinion. She was very understanding when I had to cancel an appointment on a short notice due to an unforeseen event. My hygienist was SUPER nice! She's a very chilled out person. She made me feel comfortable and she made me feel like I could ask questions. She's also very good at her job if you ask me. My dentist was the usual dentist's son. I believe that the usual dentist was on vacation. My dentist was also extremely nice and friendly. I'd compare him to that uncle who does magic tricks and gives you unexpected presents. I also asked if they could squeeze me in to fix a cavity and he tried to accommodate me in his schedule (Im currently sitting in the waiting room while waiting for him to get to me). I thought that it was so nice of him to make some time for me. I was genuinely impressed. He has a really nice technique to freeze. It barely hurt! Another thing I like about this place is that they can get in touch with your insurance company directly, so you don't have to pay the full price and then deal with your insurance company. One of the rooms has a slighter older dental chair model, but it's still rather comfortable. I loved my experience here and I will definitely be back for more dental treatments!

I would highly recommend this place as the staff is very friendly and understanding. Even the…read moredentist was very soft speaking and she listened to all my concerns and helped me through the whole process. As some one earlier in the review said that they deal with your insurance company directly so that takes off the whole stress of getting through the insurance. Once again i would highly recommend this place for all your dental needs.

Dr. Rein really is an excellent dentist. I've had to go in for two emergencies and his office…read morealways manages to squeeze me in on the same day. Dr. Rein always takes the time to explain what is going on, he doesn't rush, and does a thorough job. He works with an assistant most of the time instead of just doing stuff by himself, which I find makes the whole process less painful and goes more smoothly since he can concentrate on what he has to do, and the assistant is allowed to take care of the smaller stuff like keeping the drool vacuumed up and such. I like that the admin can just submit my stuff directly to the insurance company and I don't have to mess with filling out a form like my last dentist. The staff seems to be comfortable working in both English or French if that is a concern of yours. His staff is super pleasant to deal with and always friendly, especially the lady who works at the front. If you haven't been to a dentist in a while for whatever reason, they don't give you an enormous lecture, which I appreciate. He's given me a referral before, to get a root canal, and the dentist he recommended was also excellent. Additionally, he doesn't try to sell me on extra stuff, which I appreciate. Seems to take pride in his work and likes being a dentist; a lot of the equipment he uses seems up-to-date and cool. tldr: Pretty convenient to the metro, dentist who knows his stuff, doesn't sell you extra things, doesn't treat you like an idiot, up-to-date equipment, nice staff.

Last summer I visited Denticare for the first time. The filling in my tooth # 36 on the lower jaw…read morewas cracked, and I went in to get it repaired. I had no pain, no infection, and my face was neither swollen nor disfigured. Dr Fereidoun Harandian's assistant before he came into the room to see me and to speak to me, started taking X-rays and photos of my teeth one by one, as well as a panoramic X-ray. I explained to the assistant that I only wanted to repair one tooth. She said that it was mandatory to take X-rays of all my teeth. When Dr Fereidoun Harandian entered the room, he showed me the photos and told me that several teeth needed repair. He found 14 teeth that needed repair and gave me a cost estimate of $2,643.00. The examination and X-rays cost me $285. He said he would fill the tooth and gave an estimate of $283.00 for tooth #36. I had warned him of my insurance limit which was $2000 at that time and asked him to keep the cost within the limit of the insurance as I was not able to pay from pocket if the tooth repair exceeded that amount. On August 14, he began the dental work. He repaired three other teeth which were not at all urgent in addition to tooth #36. He drilled tooth #36 too deeply and made a hole in the pulp and then filled the tooth. At the end of the operation, while I was still under the effect of anesthesia and in front of his assistant, who was a witness, he told me he saw blood coming from the pulp and that I should return to him for a root canal. He said that my tooth would be sensitive to hot and cold for several weeks and scheduled a root canal for September 23. Shortly after the August 14th visit, the injury to the root of my tooth caused severe pain, infection, and swelling of my face. Because of intense pain and infection, I canceled the appointment for September 23rd. I had completely lost faith in him and refused to allow him to perform any further operations on me. Dr Harandian repaired four teeth and billed my insurance company for a dental procedure that was misdiagnosed and performed at a cost higher than the initial estimate ($403). Why didn't he send me for a root canal treatment if the tooth decay was too deep? Hadn't he charged me for a full exam already? I wrote to him twice, while suffering from intense pain, and asked him to reimburse my insurance company for the $403 which he had billed me for the botched work done on tooth #36 so that I could get a root canal treatment. He refused to reimburse my insurance company and to help me receive the urgent treatment I needed. I suffered for months until I was able to save enough money to go and get a root canal with the endodontist whom I knew and trusted. The experience at the Denticare inc has been a nightmare which has lasted up to this day. I wish I had never set foot inside that clinic. I cannot count the number of times I blamed myself for choosing Dr Fereidoun Harandian as a dentist. After having read about patients who had been hurt on https://citoyens.soquij.qc.ca/, I realize that I was not the only one who had suffered. Next time I will be a lot more vigilant when choosing a dentist. and conduct a complete background check of the dentist.

The Dentist is very nice, super fast and accurate in each procedure he does. The dental assistance are also very knowledgable and quick in assisting. I always had issues with being frozen (requiring multiple needles) but he got it on the first one! The side filling looks like there is nothing there at all (previously done and fell out but looked terrible while it was there). They work directly with your insurance so no need to pay 100% upfront and wait for your insurance company to refund you. I felt very comfortable and happy I found a new Dentist!

Dentist Tin Ly seems to be a nice guy but IMO, after years of observation, is limited in skills…read more He appears only to do cleanings, extractions and simple fillings. Mostly he refers anything difficult (such as crowns and root canal work) to his "specialist" friends. Three and a half years ago while extracting a bottom molar, he BROKE MY JAWBONE! Being elderly, I suspect the molar had become fused to the jawbone (a side effect of an osteoporosis medication I had been taking). Nevertheless, with great yanking and twisting effort, he extracted the molar. Sharp fragments of broken jawbone have been erupting and escaping from the hole where the molar had been ever since. I recently visited Dr. Tin Ly as the eighth sharp jawbone fragment was slowly and painfully erupting. Amazingly, he claimed that the jawbone fragment eruptions were not caused by his molar extraction done 3 1/2 years earlier (although all eight bone fragments have escaped from the very hole left by the extraction). He told me to "see a specialist" as there was nothing he could do. Word to the wise -- unless you need some very simple and basic dentistry, and are prepared to visit his "specialist" friends for anything out of the ordinary ... stay away.

COVID guidelines were also being followed and everything seemed hygienic and cleaned so all in all, great experience and I would definitely recommend this office.

In the room I was in there was: (1) Ripped up box of cling film and brown paper in a corner (2) Used brown paper and tissue on the counter and on the sink next to the head of the seat (3) A plastic bag around the sink which hadn't been changed in so long it had collected dust! It's right next to your head so very much in the path of saliva and water droplets expelled during cleaning. I was shocked. Don't know who to report this to but it's clear this clinic is taking ZERO precautions. It's shameful.
