Just came back from an initial examination and cleaning at the new Dolce Dental clinic on Burrard…read more It was, hands down, the best dental experience that I've ever had. The staff was super friendly and happy and the clinic itself is modern, bright and inviting. As it has been a few years since I last saw a dentist (and that was in a different county) I was not sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The dentist (Dr. Albertina Chan) is super nice and makes sure that you are informed of all that is going on during the entire process. I've always felt a little embarrassed by the state of my teeth but felt no judgment at all, which made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I would absolutely recommend this clinic!

Her attention to detail is amazing and she's gentle. I've been to a couple dentists downtown and no one compares. The receptionist and hygienist are also kind and welcoming.

From the moment you enter this clinic, you are treated with care and smiles-a-plenty. Dr. Ashleigh Sran and her staff make you feel comfortable with any of your concerns. They have the true professionalism and customer passion at a five star level. At last, I have found a place where I am sure to be treated with dignity and respect. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a trustworthy dental clinic!

My wife went here not me which is why I didn't give it a one, however I got front row seats to the…read morereason behind the rating (And let me state that the girl I spoke to over the phone was quite nice): -1st this place seems incredibly busy, especially if your looking for a weekend booking you could be waiting for 2-3 months. -My wife was charged 40% over the estimate. A few dollars..pfft whatever, but this was far from a few dollars. -They only did half a cleaning...HALF, then told her she had to book another appointment for the other half?? "They didn't have time on her first booking"?? Get ready for ANOTHER payment. Neither I or my wife have EVER had to go for two sessions for a cleaning & x-rays. Nor have I ever heard of this.. -An email she received in response to a query about the price was a little patronizing and that was the final nail in the coffin for her.. The short story: She's a masters student & we are both covered by her plan. Even with the coverage Alma is still quite expensive, and the estimates are quite inaccurate as is the process once you get there. I will now pay 1/3 of what she might have paid for the EXACT same thing at Kingsgate Dental & the estimates are always within a few dollars as well. The waits are also 1/3 compared to Alma (they also open on the occasional Sunday). Alma should also get someone else to reply to customer service emails lol. The bright side..?? The bottom half of her mouth is pretty clean :)

Dentists get a bad wrap. Why? Because we are scared of them…read moreas kids, and it just sticks. Kinda like Polident. Well, have no fear, cause Alma Dental is here. For your most important part of your body. Well... one of them at least. One of the hygienists hums a lovely little ditty throughout most of the cleaning and I gotta admit. It's kind of relaxing. They are under the UBC extended health plan here, so it is quite cheap to keep your smile looking like a million bucks if you are a student. I paid around $25 last visit. I gotta say that for the dreaded dentist visit, this place is nearly as good as it gets. Perhaps if they offered laughing gas in the waiting room I would give em 5 happy/dizzy stars.

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.

I contacted them on Monday after the weekend and they had me in the same Monday at 12pm. Not to look it...they actually did the work. I was there for around 90 minutes getting a filling and new night guard fitted. I've been going to Dr. Ray and Fairview for over 20 years. There is no better dental office. Dr. Dylan actually did the filling yesterday...he is fantastic too. They are true professionals - care about the client first...contentious; provide great communication and are always concerned about what it will cost the patient. I couldn't recommend them more.

About a year and a half ago I moved to the Fairview area and was in need a dentist. To add to…read morethings, I was going to need an understanding dentist, since for 3 years I didn't have extended health coverage and couldn't really afford to see a dentist routinely. This all changed a few months ago when I finally got a real job. Not only did I find an understanding dentist with Dr. Leung, but I also found a dentist who is personable, efficient but thorough, and has a great team. I have always thought I had good dentists while growing up. My childhood, adolescent and twenties-self had dentists that were, all-in-all, pretty good. However, after going to Fairview Dental, my thoughts of what a dentist office can be have been raised. The equipment and techniques used at Fairview Dental are all state-of-the-art. Cameras that can take pictures and videos of your teeth and be displayed on a giant monitor beside you, digital X-rays that take less than a second, fluoride treatments that actually taste good and take less than 30 seconds, and actual comfy dentist chairs are all things used at Fairview Dental. If you have the environment in mind, you'll be pleased to know that the Fairview Dental Centre uses all biodegradable sterilants and cleaners. To add comfort/enjoyment to the visit, there are tvs installed in the ceiling above that you can watch while being worked on. If you want to try and ignore the fact that you're at the dentist, they can provide noise cancelling headphones and the tv remote to change to any of the several channels of tv or music. Although they offer this luxury, I have never chosen to block out all the things going on, since as limited as it is, I've always had a good time having some conversation or listening to the neat facts given by the dentist and hygienists. One thing that I thought was great was that you can provide your email and phone numbers when you book an appointment. A few days before the appointment, depending on the method you chose, they will either call you or send you an email with a reply button that will let them know that you will be there or need to reschedule. For a person on the go and can forget things, I found the use of an electronic reminder and check in a great thing! To add to everything, the pricing and efficiency of the staff is amazing. I needed some extensive dental work lately which included a scaling, polish, filling, discing, and routine checkup. In an hour and a half all was done, and was cheaper than it has ever cost anyone I've known for a "touch up " on a filling. As a nice service, if you're a regular client and are getting married, Fairview Dental will set up an appointment for you to come in for a polishing a week before the wedding for a free polish so you look all good for your photos. Very cool! I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the friendly and efficient staff, modern techniques, and great pricing the Fairview Dental Centre offers. This is a great dental clinic that I will go to for years to come, even if/when I move out of the Fairview area, since it's just that good.

Dr. Caroline Choi is the gentlest, sweetest dentist I have ever met. Her bedside manner will put you at ease as will the hygienists.

They don't charge more than the BC Dental Association fees like some dentists do. Dr. Choi actually gave me tips on how to save money for teeth whitening!
