The staff are always friendly and helpful, and their covid protections are careful to support us all. It's a pleasure to visit. I noticed discussions of upselling above. I can say with great confidence that this is not the case. In 30 years, I've had three cavities, a broken tooth repaired, and some 30-year-old childhood fillings replaced. Each procedure is discussed with me beforehand, and I've played a role in the decision-making each time. My spouse is also a patient and has been for nearly as long as I have - he's never even had a cavity, just his regular cleanings. If you want a wonderful, thoughtful dentist, this is the place to go

Carol did a lot of restorative work on me about fifteen to twenty years ago. By 'a lot' I mean…read moregreater that eight molars. Also a root canal. I remember her saying to me "you're going to have these the rest of your life". Well, they lasted a few years - all of them. Each one fractured and needed to be replaced. In addition, she missed a little bit in the root canal and I had to have a specialist go in from the side and nip out the problem. I can't say whether or not crowns from a different lab would have made a big difference. But I can say this... dentists who aspire to give you full crowns for movie-star teeth are not looking out for your best interests. Rather than an overlay which has margins above the gumline where they get cleaned through brushing, full crowns have their margins at the gumline where flossing is necessary. I've never had any luck flossing the outside and inside of my teeth. Now the slightest of margin issue at the gumline means the trapping of food and decay working up underneath the crown. Surprise - you now need a new crown - after the tooth is removed and you have had an implant! Best of luck to those travelling this road...

I had my rotten teeth extracted and replaced with dentures at Dr. Waldman's office. At first, yes…read moreher and her staff were courteous and caring. As they should of been, since I was paying thousands of dollars in a matter of 3 months into her business. 2 years later I am finding out just how bad the quality of her work was. Dr. Waldman never adjusted the set of my dentures to sit properly on my jaw. I am now paying again, to have a new set made as well as being in excruciating pain because of the damage done to my jawbone. Most dentures last 5 years before needing repairs, mine are being completely replaced.

Really terrific and friendly people and really one of the best dentist experiences I've ever had. My husband and I both come here and one of the reasons we hope to continue to live in downtown Toronto is because we found such a perfect dental spa!

Horrible Office Staff Experince!…read more I tried to email this place about their dental practices as I was curious for some insight and was rudely spoken to in an email and degraded by whomever emailed me today (2 march 2024). Whoever works at the Dr Arun Narang office should check how this person spoke to me, it was a simple misunderstanding on my part and was hit back with a degrading email that made it seem like I wasn't "serious" about what I was asking about. I was told to send photos, x-rays and a letter from my orthodontist so they could refer me to a surgeon, which I responded that I would get those documents from my orthodontist (since I don't have them with me so I would need to ask my ortho) and I said this I said that I would need to contact my ortho to get this info and I will be in contact with them soon, yet I was screamed at through email by whomever was email. And I was told in the next email ,after I said I STILL need to get those documents for you I will give it to you soon, that " If you want to be taken seriously provide me what I am asking ". How rude can you be. This is how I know this person didn't read my email. I had to email back and refer to my previous email stating that I still need to get the documents. I was also told "Do what I asked of you" which is quite a harsh way to speak to someone who is a potential customer. Horrible Horrible customer service. Staff doesn't have to be this rude, its appalling. Staff shouldn't be this cold to potential customers. I have however found an amazing office somewhere else, the staff is amazing and kind. Kindness goes a long way.

NOT SAFE FOR DISABLED/HIGH RISK INDIVIDUALS…read more I have been a patient at Amberlea Dental since I was a young child. I am someone who is high risk for COVID-19, and needs to continue taking precautions. The last few times I have been to Amberlea Dental, the receptionists have been very bad about wearing masks, taking them off to speak, wearing them incorrectly, etc. When I entered what was supposed to be my most recent appointment this week, every single person at the reception desk had their masks under their chins. I firmly pointed it out and asked if they could put them on, and they all sighed, one giving an audible "oh God." Because of this extremely rude response, I brought it up to my dental nurse, and explained how their refusal to wear masks makes it dangerous for me to access treatment. She was dismissive, and told me if I could speak to the manager if I wanted to. I said I would like that, which was when I then learned the manager was one of the unmasked receptionists. She fought with me publicly, stating that she didn't need to wear one as it's a "personal choice." I told her that as a healthcare worker, she has a responsibility to make her facility accessible to disabled and high risk patients. She said it wasn't any of her responsibility, and said to my face that she doesn't need to keep at risk patients safe. I said that infecting a disabled or high risk person could result in their death, and tried to confirm that she was saying this meant nothing to her. I said, "so you don't care if you give a disabled person COVID and kill them?" and she responded, "no. Why Would I? That's not my problem." During the argument she also tried to tell me that COVID isn't an airborne virus, when I said her not wearing a mask makes it dangerous for me to be treated because air circulates throughout the building, she told me her "mouth particles" can't get through the closed door, displaying a clear lack of understanding of how the virus even works. She tried to back herself up by saying that she doesn't mask anywhere else either, and then got frusturated when I said that was an even larger issue because it puts the high risk in even more danger to be exposed to her. The entire reception team and my dental nurse ganged up against me, talking over me and cutting me off in the waiting room in full view of other patients. I was asked if I was going to "stop arguing and go to my appointment, or leave," so I walked out, and will be seeking a new dentist. This kind of unprofessional and eugenicist behaviour from any healthcare worker, but especially one that works in an environment where at risk people have no choice but to be maskless, is abhorrent and disgraceful. They do not care in the slightest for the safety of vulnerable people in the community, and have no issue voicing it loudly and publicly. To all other high risk people, save your time and your stress and go somewhere else. I am beyond disgusted and shocked.

I've been going to this dentist for over 20 years and even though I now live downtown Toronto, I…read morestill go "home" to have everything done at this location. I'll admit that you need to be careful when choosing a hygienist - some of them are really rough and others are not so much (and I think this is true of almost all dental offices), but all of them are fairly talkative and make the time in the chair go by pretty quickly. You always get a choice of cleaning paste flavor (cherry, bubblegum or mint) and when I was a kid, they had wicked fluoride flavors, tutti frutti. The best part about this place is that they'll work with you to make sure you get what you need. I was without benefits for a while and as such, they were willing to try and keep the cost down for the sake of my wallet. My boyfriend is in need of a custom nightguard and we need to front some of the cost as my benefits doesn't cover it all and they were more than happy to offer him a payment plan to ensure he got his night guard sooner than later (and they were more concerned with him getting the nightguard it seemed!). When I was a kid, there were only 2 dentists or so here and now the number has increased quite a bit, but all of them are very nice, very thorough and explain everything as they go along. I had my wisdom teeth out last year in-office (no hospital for me) and recently had one cavity filled and another existing filling redone and both experiences were good. When I had my wisdom teeth out, I had complications by no fault of the dentist, but they were willing to answer questions and had me in just to make sure everything was progressing properly when I was worried (and no charge on that visit). The two very best things about Amberlea Dental are: The Staff: All of the front office staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating (and when you're due for a cleaning, you always get vice nice pleasant voicemails asking for a call back) and they all seem to care about the patients The Hours: They're open until 9PM almost every night of the week, open on Saturdays and closed on Sundays. This makes it easy for you to get off work at 6, head to get your teeth cleaned at 7 and be home in time for a late dinner. Even for me coming from Toronto, I never have a problem if I'm running late: I've had to call them a few times and they've been nothing but accommodating. If you live in the area and are trying to decide what dentist to go to, this is a safe bet!
