These women know their stuff. And they're kind, and patient. I'm a total dentist-phobe from some past bad experiences. But Galia and her lovely staff have really turned that around. I'm stuck like glue to this place! Will make the trip from anywhere. Have sent a few friends, and family members, and everyone has come back raving about their experience. Cleanest feeling teeth I've EVER had, and her hygienists gave me some great advice for keeping my teeth as healthy as I can. My fillings experience was also the easiest I've had. It's never super fun, but at least I want white-knuckling it the whole time. Had somewhere close to a nap, while Galia and her assistant worked their magic. I also get my Botox done by Galia, and I'm a devotee! She has such an artful hand with that stuff, nobody believes I have had it done. I also have to give a shout out to Blanca, Enhance's receptionist. She's an absolute JOY. What a human being- she's just an incredible delight to deal with. Front end staff is so important, and being greeted by her when you call or enter the centre really just gives you a good idea what this place is all about. I'd give them 10 stars, if I could.

Horrible experience!!! Almost chocked to death!!!! So My…read morefamily and I just moved back to Vancouver from travelling around the globe, Hence, finding a new dentist in the city. At first they were great with the cleaning services, xrays, etc. (we have full dental insurance) Then I schedule my visit for a cavity I had. Upon my arrival, the nurse proceeded to ask me if I had seen the rubber dental dam before, which I told her ya, about 10 yrs ago. Then she put that medieval contraption on me (so painful every time she inserted the latex in between my teeth with a thick dental floss) PLUS another rubber square thing to keep my teeth open so far back in my mouth I could feel my tonsils touching it. Needless to say, between that and the latex in my mouth and my inability to swallow my own saliva, i was literally chocking to death! Also, they set up the chair in a semi inverted position where my head was lower than my feet, making it impossible to swallow. The anesthesia the dr. put, did not work well, so on top all that stress add the fact that I could feel the pain (she had to add another injection mid work). The minute the dr was done I told her exactly what my experience was all about and asked her to either not use those contraptions on me next time or I was done. She said they are required by law? or something to use them. LIE. I Strongly disagree, I've had my teeth worked on (same treatment) in the US (Los Angeles, New York, Seattle), Spain, Peru, Brazil and NEVER have I had such a traumatizing experience. All these dentists were great at isolating saliva with cotton balls etc. clean work, all the time. I WOULD NEVER PUT A CHILD THROUGH THIS!!! My daughters had treatments in Los Angeles 6 months ago, and the pediatric doctors there did not use those contraptions. Its almost like those straight jackets crazy dentists use to put on kids.... Beware!!

I have been going to West Coast Smile for more than 30 years. I was terrified of dentists before I…read moremet Dr Norden. He is so incredible. I trust him implicitly. I take very good care of my teeth and I want my dentist to do the same. I have had all my mercury fillings replaced, invisalign, cavities filled, countless cleaning appointments. My entire family goes here. I have referred everyone I know who mentions the words... "I need a dentist". There were many occasions where someone in our family chipped a tooth or lost a filling and we were given emergency time in the office... so I am happy to reschedule my appointment if I need to give up my appointment to someone else who has an emergency. Dr. Jeffrey Norden should teach everyone how to give needles. I would recommend West Coast Smile to everyone I love. We are lucky to have them.

The consultation was thorough, timelines were clear, and the surgery itself was way easier than I expected--gentle, precise, and painless with great aftercare instructions. Healing went exactly as they predicted and my final crown looks like it's always been there. Front desk was friendly, billing was transparent, and the clinic is spotless. If you're considering implants in Vancouver, this is where you want to go. I'm smiling big again!

I recently switched to Alpha Dental because I was not happy with my current dentist and my husband…read morehas been coming here for years. I have nothing but good things to say! From the moment you check in, the staff are extremely friendly, kind and personable while being professional. The hygienist I saw was Natasha and not only was she super sweet and kind, she was full of helpful suggestions such as how to floss properly (she demonstrated it while I held a mirror so I could see). The dentist I saw is Dr. Shivji (junior). You can tell that he is confident in what he does and has great knowledge. Not only is her super personable but he is honest- he will not recommend getting things done that you don't really need just to make more money for the business (as I have experienced at other dental offices in the past). I get anxious about feeling anything when getting fillings and he was very gentle and reassuring, always checking to make sure I was doing ok. I trust him to give me good dental advice. Again, I cannot say enough good things about everyone working at Alpha Dental and my only regret is not being a patient here sooner.

One memorable experience: After I experienced some jaw pain, I came to see her to check things out. My teeth were all fine, so nothing she could do, but she suggested I go to a RMT who specializes in intra-oral massage. I had NEVER heard of this before, but I went to the specific RMT she mentioned and it was life changing. Seriously. After just one session, my jaw pain was gone. I was so relieved and grateful! If Dr Lee hasn't suggested that, I'm not sure what I would have done.

I was disappointed with their billing ethics First they…read moreforcefully gave me gloves to wear and change my ask so they can charge me $20 for it. Why patient need gloves and why not keep my own mask? My teeth cleaning done in 45 minutes with X-rays and exam but guess what was the billing -- exam, 4 X-rays (bite one), 3.5 units for scaling and floride coat .. when I argued that it's over and illegal billing, apparently Dr Lee made the staff bill template and it's set. Everyone must bill 3.5 unit of scaling along with other procedures as a must.. is it legal? Or over billing? Shouldn't be it as work and time needed? It's about making more money

My teeth are in good shape so they've suggested a longer duration between X-rays, to be followed by an even longer duration should there continue to be positive results.

My regular dentist retired so at the recommendation of a friend, I ended up there. I am so thankful to Dr. Maryam and her staff for making my visit a very positive one, especially in these scary COVID times.

The office itself is very modern and comfortable, the staff very knowledgeable. I hope I have covered it all. Bottom line is that I have found my new dentist and I will tell everyone I know about this office. Thank you so much to all of you at MAX Dental!

I researched YEARS looking for a clinic that fit and I chose right.... I am 40 years old, and put off getting my wisdom teeth out since 20 then stopped going to the dentist all together. Their patience, kindness, and gentle approach has helped me so much. Their genuine care for my comfort levels are amazing. You literally CANNOT do more for a patient to feel comfortable. The office is bright and comforting. The admin staff is also very very cheery and supportive. They give no room for you to be uncomfortable. I got my first wisdom extraction yesterday, I didn't feel a thing, and ZERO swelling or after pain. I never even needed an Advil. The Dentist IS great, and her assistant constantly would offer her hand to squeeze and wiped tears and constant encouragement. Her dental hygienists are amazing too...

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.
