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!!

ParkView Dental was new to me a couple of years ago when I needed dental implants. Dr Ayoughi is a…read morevery skilled dentist and I am so pleased with the work that he did with both of my implants. My experience has been fantastic and I have had no issues! I found Dr Ayoughi to be very easy going, friendly, knowledgeable and funny! Implants can feel a bit scary somehow, but I actually enjoyed coming to the clinic! The staff at Parkview are amazing. From hygenists, to dental assistants, to office coordinator, to admin staff, every one is friendly and efficient. I have recently decided to become a patient at ParkView.....it is a great dental office and I highly recommend.

For many years, I had nothing but grade "A" experiences with Parkview Dental in Vancouver. Dr…read more Ayoughi is very skilled at what he does and is extremely welcoming and the front staff has been fantastic! Unfortunately over my last few visits, I found myself in the hands of other dentists at the clinic and to be honest it felt like I was experiencing student work. Everything from not being given the "lead bib / Apron" during multiple ex-rays (They started with it, then had to redo the ex-rays a few times and No Bib) to dealing with a student assistant that was very nervous and not knowing the instruments (the original assistant called in sick at the last minute) to being put almost upside down while getting a root canal (Very uncomfortable Position!), to having temp filing pop-out. The last 3 visits were 1) A root canal and crown, (not done by Dr.Ayoughi) I had to return 3 times due to temp falling out and pain. The first time they re-cemented the temp that had poped-out, the 2nd time they tried adjusting the crown with no success 2 weeks after installing it. 3) The third time I was still in pain, I demanded to bee seen by Dr. Ayoughi and he was very nice in explaining what might be going on and did more adjustments and told me his assistant would check-in with me in 1 week or 2 to see how I felt as he was leaving on Vacation and she did, she left a message as I was unable to answer the call at the time. I returned the call that evening and left a message saying that I was still in pain, at that point it became "Radio silence" never heard back! I had to go to another Dental clinic to get checked and that's where they told me that the root canal was excellent but the crown was to close to the bone and that was the pain / discomfort I was feeling. 2 options were given to me 1) an expensive surgery to repair the problem or 2) let time do the work and allow bone matter to grow. Parkview Dental was one of the very best service I'd ever receive in a dental clinic, until I was switched around without being asked and passed around to other dentists in the clinic, then the quality of work went downhill. I unfortunately had to move on to an other clinic. The front staff has always been good and accommodating. PS: That was not my first root canal, I've had a few, so I'm well aware of how it should go and feel.

So when I developed an abscess today the pain out weighed my fear and I called Dr Wong's clinic. I explained my phobia and current dental issue and they assured me that they would take good care of me. At first I thought they were just luring me in to inflict pain upon me equal to listening to a person with tourettes read "40 Shades of Grey". I was wrong, the whole staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and not be ashamed of fear and state of dental care. They got me in on a busy day within 20 minutes of my mumbling phone call as well. While Dentists still freak me the hell out, Dr Wong is an exception, kind, laid back and not one to attempt to pad a bill. He made me feel like I did not have a phobia at all. My only issue was with him showing Mr. Bean on the TV.

Very disappointed now - I hadn't seen a dentist in 2 years when I saw them for a complete checkup…read moreand cleaning (when I first wrote the review) and at the time complained of a lot of pain in a molar. Dentist said it was likely just a gum infection and said there was no need for xrays, since they got mine transferred from my old dentist (taken 2 years earlier). I trusted him. So next year I go to my original dentist and they do new xrays (puzzled why the last dentist didn't do any given the pain in my molar and the 2 year period) and turns out I had a really bad cavity, NOT A GUM INFECTION. I almost had to get a root canal and lost half my tooth because it was in a strange place in between the molars and progressively got worse in a year, even with all the flossing that I was recommend by this dentist. My original dentist said this dentist did not do their due diligence and that they should have done an updated xray to double-check instead of just guessing it was gum infection, especially due to the pain I described and that the xrays were old. In the end this dentist cost me more money and more pain from not doing his job properly. Don't go here, they are unorganized, receptionists rude, and Dr. obviously incompetent in thoroughly checking into problems.

He has a very light touch for both cavities and oral surgery. He will also take the time to explain and answer any of your dental questions. His enthusiasm is also unmatched.

He too is very attentive with all my oral hygiene and tooth related inquiries. These two are the only dental professionals I trust!!!! I have recommended them to all of my friends, and have heard back that they too will never book anywhere else. Life dental is unlike any other dental experience I have ever had; they are very professional and I find my healing time is quicker than ever. The proof is in the pudding.

Instead, of a cleaning, they processed me for 5m, took some x-rays and proceeded to clean half my teeth (the bottom half) before sending me on my way... They also lied and told me I needed two fillings due to a cavity and a groove in my tooth. When I got a second opinion (from my old family dentist), none of these things were found. When I inquired as to if this was normal. I was told that due to my being 15m late, I would have to schedule another appointment (since apparently cleanings take about 1.5hr at this place). My thoughts: I was late so I accept that it will cut into my appointment. However.. 1.5hr is not a reasonable expectation for a routine cleaning. I've seen 3 different dentists in the last 5 years (due to my being a traveling consultant), and the longest session I've had was 45m in San Francisco. If cleanings are 1.5hr regularly for new patients. Why was I not informed of this. All they did in the session today was scrape my bottom teeth (no fluoride or anything else). edit: they also lied and said that I needed two fillings due to a cavity and an apparent groove in one of my teeth. Obviously I went for a second opinion to my family's dentist. To my (not) surprise, my family's dentist said there was no cavity. He also showed me the x-rays that he had taken of me from last June and compared it to the ones which Brentwood Dental Group forwarded. The difference was like night and day. The x-rays from Brentwood Dental group were grainy and you 'could' argue that there was a cavity there (there was a shadow in a very murky and grey picture). My family dentist's x-rays were crisp and clear (the contrast between white and black was very crisp). He then showed me the areas which I had been told had a cavity and told me that in his opinion, it was fine. There was no pain and there wouldn't have been that much degradation since last June. There was no need to unnecessarily drill my teeth unless I really wanted to. I would highly recommend everyone to avoid this dentist group as they run the place like an apple store.
