Operated on a SIX year old while sedated. The child got upset after 2 things being done, and they…read morerefused to operate further. The child's mother informed them that their ride was far away(30+ minutes), and regardless of this, the couple were escorted out the back door, and the mother and child were left on the sidewalk while the SIX year old could not hold up their own head, nor stand. Several people drove by and asked the pair why they were sat on the hot sidewalk while the child screamed. Once the pairs ride had ARRIVED, a hygienist came outside and approached the mother while getting into her vehicle and exclamation she was "unaware" that their ride was far away, and that they may come back inside to wait for the vehicle that they were now GETTING INTO. Someone messed up big time here, and they didn't try to correct it until someone that saw this pair sat in the heat went into the building and expressed concern for the pair.

"Unbelievable" orthodontic consultant…read more I have already visited seven orthodontic clinic and this is the only one that neither do any professional check(e.g. x-ray, photo) nor free. All I did here is an assistant introduced me invisalign and braces, and then a doc came and did some simple check. Then the doc said: yes we could do it. Done. No advice, no plan. I even hesitate can they really do orthodontic treatment. The most surprised me part is it charge me without any informing. I have done this consultant in seven clinic and none of them charged me(while that maybe not usual), one of them informed me before I booked the appointment(so that I could decide if I would go). For general dentist request, I don't know. But for orthodontic, definitely not.

So, I have to be honest. I'm not entirely sure how to review a dentist, so please bare with me…read more My family dentist, which I've been going to since before I can remember. I've always had the same dentist, and it's definitely a good way to do it. First of all, I should say that they recently renovated and for a waiting room, their waiting room is quite nice. I never have to spend much time in there, either. If I have an appointment at 11:30, I almost always get in by 11:40. This is one of the best things, I think, a health office can offer. Short waiting times. So, on to the actual treatment. They're a dentist. They do the horrible scrape-y bit, they polish your teeth, floss, and give you some nasty fluoride to stick in your mouth for a while. None of it is very fun. There's no way around that, so I'm not gonna complain about it. However, they are very thorough and keep up a constant stream of patter. Plus, they don't ask you questions while their hands are in their mouths; that can be very annoying. They're also very good for getting things done. Today I needed two teeth capped, they did it right after my cleaning. That is awesome. So, the people are friendly. They ask how I'm doing, what I've been up to. They remember me. The dentistry itself is good, they notice when things are wrong and offer good advice (more than just the token 'Floss more!'), and help you stay healthy. Plus, they have really groovy sunglasses to protect your eyes from the lights. What more could you want?

I have been a patient of Dr Carr for many years and received excellent care…read more I went to a different clinic for a short time, right after moving back to Halifax. I did it purely because it was closer to my house, and came to deeply regret that decision. Dr Carr was happy to take me back and was able to help me with a potentially serious problem that the dentist at the other clinic missed. I also get my routine cleanings and check ups done here. The hygienists are great and I've never had a complaint about their work. Like most dental clinics, they will do direct billing to most insurance companies if you have coverage and bring your card with you.

I went from my past dentist, who I will keep unknown to you, to Evergreen Dental. Evergreen dental have phenomenal dentists and hygienists. They won't gouge your pockets, or neglect something that shouldn't be neglected. They are honest, trustworthy, funny, and they truly care about their clients. I've changed dentists a year ago and switched to Evergreen, I can tell you now, a year later, I made the right choice. Very nice atmosphere, TVs overhead and headphones. Not sure about the remote, can't remember that part lol. I wish you all the best at your visit or search for a new dentist and recommend Evergreen Dental as a 5 star dentist office.

I was new to Halifax in 2014, and prior to moving here I had always gone to the same dentist. I was…read morenervous to start going to a new dentist however, I am now very glad I had chosen Lawen Dentistry. Dr. Lawen is an incredible dentist and is significantly better then the previous one I had been going to. To start, the office is very clean, the receptionist are always very kind, there is free bottled orange juice, apple juice, water and coffee to have while in the waiting room. The maximum time I've ever waited in the waiting room was 15 minutes (ie. my appointment was at 3:30 and we began at 3:45). The dental hygienist did a great job of my first cleaning, and even gave me a tooth brush and toothpaste to take home. Every time Dr. Lawen has done my fillings it's been quick and painless. He always makes sure you are pleased with the end result and encourages you to come back if the "bite" doesn't feel right to you and he will adjust it. At my first appointment with Dr. Lawen he asked me if there was anything I didnt like about my teeth, and I mentioned a small discolouration on my front tooth. So, I had gotten a teeth whitening package to use in the evening. The whitening really hurt my teeth as they are very sensitive however, I didnt want to pay the price to try something else so I decided to just give up. But, at my next appointment when I had told this to Dr. Lawen about my trouble whitening, he gave me a new package to whiten my teeth during the day for only 20 minutes (because it causes less sensitivity issues) for free! My front tooth is now the perfect white after the whitening and Dr. Lawen filling in the discolouration spot with a filling. Its an amazing difference. I think Dr. Lawen truly cares about his patients, he always informs me of cost of anything, he does everything quickly and efficiently and he always makes sure I'm happy with results. Highly recommended!

I have been served by Lawen Dentistry since the day it opened. Not once in all that time have I…read morebeen less than completely satisfied. Dr. Lawen, himself, has not only conducted himself professionally at all times, but he exudes a warmth and compassion that should be standard at all dental offices. Lori has been my hygienist for longer than I can recall, and while there are other well-trained and highly competent hygienists working alongside her, I would never consider losing her in that capacity. I had two new crowns installed a year ago, and the procedure went flawlessly. I am scheduled for another next month. No reservations or concerns on my part because there is no downside to it.

Saw Dr. Jonathan Logan in May 2018. The actual work he did was fine. The reason I absolutely…read morewould not recommend this dentist to anyone is that they were completely unprofessional, were trying to upsell me treatments the entire time, and were not transparent in their billing process. I had to ask multiple times to actually see the dentist and get my cavities fixed, even though they knew that was the reason I made the appointment. During the procedure, I had to endure the dentist and assistant gossip about another one of the workers there. Dr. Logan even had the audacity to complain to my face that he didn't have time to drink his coffee because I had cavities. The dental hygienist was trying to get me to get braces without knowing anything about my orthodontic history. And now, over 3 months later, they are calling me telling me I owe them money even though I paid them the full amount they charged me at the time. Would absolutely steer clear of this place.

I visited their location on December 23 with a very painful tooth that lost its filling. They…read morex-rayed and told me yes, the filling came out but they don't have time to fix it. They let me leave in pain and took $100 from me. How sad is this, I was absolutely shocked they wanted me to live with this pain until January. I made an appointment with a clinic in Bedford and had the tooth repaired the same day of my visit to Lacewood. I am shocked by the lack of urgency, empathy, and basic patient care demonstrated during this appointment. I took time out of my day, drove to the clinic in pain, and left in the exact same condition -- only poorer and extremely disappointed. For comparison, I contacted another dental clinic today, as a new patient, they immediately made arrangements to treat me and address the issue so I could be pain-free during the holidays. This is the level of care I would expect from my regular dentist--especially for a straightforward repair that could have been completed quickly. The dentist I saw today showed no concerns for my suffering and no willingness to help. That lack of compassion and professionalism is unacceptable in a healthcare setting. I will NEVER return and would suggest you find a better clinic as there are many here in Halifax, stay away from Lacewood dental and or anu corporately owned smiles clinic, they are terrible and all about robbing us.

On Thursday, December 11 2025, I had a dental appointment with Dr. Stephanie Major at Lacewood…read moreSquare Dentistry to do a filling on one root-canal tooth and another tooth on my upper right side. During this visit, Dr. Major worked on my upper-right wisdom tooth without asking my permission or even mentioning that it needed any treatment. I know this tooth was completely healthy--I had checked it several times before. When I realized what had happened and asked why she had touched that tooth, she became nervous and said it "needed cleaning" because it was beside the root-canal tooth. That explanation made no sense to me. She then showed an X-ray and a chart that didn't match the correct side of my mouth. I left feeling shocked, violated, and disrespected. My healthy tooth was unnecessarily drilled and filled, and I was later told something different again--that it already had a filling that needed replacing. I know that was not true. At the end of the appointment, the billing desk also tried to charge me 10 % more than my insurance coverage until I pointed it out. I'm writing this review because I want people to be aware and to always verify what work is being done before the dentist begins. This experience made me lose all trust and I hope no one else goes through the same situation.
