They specifically design their prices to be 5% higher than insurance so you will always be paying out of pocket. They do not disclose this on booking. While they offered an apology for their error, it does not in a way make up for my lost time or frustration. Who would pay an extra 5% for poor communication, late service, wasted time, extra visits, and frustration?

Ahhh, embarrassing. Yes that's how this update starts. I am an embarrassment…read more You know when you wake up (in your own bed [thank god]) and it's the middle of the week (like a Thursday) and your phone says the time is 1057 and you think... "hmn I shouldn't be asleep right now because I have another commitment and I just can't put my finger on it... and it's not work, it's something else..." And then you realize that you are supposed to be at the dentist getting your teeth cleaned in 3 minutes and that's why you feel like you shouldn't be sleeping off a mid-week bender? No? That hasn't happened to you? Then... my bad (I guess). Long story short - I called the dentist and said I would be late and they were totally cool about it. Then I showed up (looking/smelling like a hobo) and they were totally cool about it. Then I disallowed the cavitron 5000 from my cleaning and they were totally cool about it. The bottom line message I want to deliver to you in this review, is that I am never switching dentists again. Actually, that's not exactly true. I am never switching hygienists again. If Lisa moved to a different dentist office, I would move my records along with her. This was the most painless dental cleaning I have ever had. That statement is not a joke. I had not been to the dentist in 1.5 years, and there was a lot of cleaning that needed to be done; Lisa had brand new dental tools that she was delighted to break in on me. She was done in 45 minutes (I have historically had to break up cleanings into 2 visits) and when I inspected her work, I expected to see residual tartar and plaque because of the efficiency and painlessness of the service, but the cleaning passed the quality control inspection. I remain shocked by the quality of this cleaning and it has inspired me to floss more regularly, because I want to preserve the work that she has done here. This is my new hygienist and I hope that I die before she does (like... a long time from now) because I can't imagine finding another person that is this good at this job.

I am so glad I found such a wonderful dentist. Dr. Jecu is extremely gentle, and my recent…read moreexperience of having two fillings could be called "effortless". If you are afraid of the dentist, look no further - you will love her as she actually makes the experience pleasant. Not only is her office extremely comfortable, it is super high tech, and you can tell right away that she really cares for the comfort of her patients. No dreaded "horse needle" that you normally associate with dentists - fillings generally don't require local anesthetic because she uses a special laser called Solea (one of I believe 2 offices in the entire city that has one) - and for instances that do require local anesthetic, she has this amazing device called "The Wand" that can numb one tooth at a time, and it doesn't look scary. But despite the fact that she has all these fancy gadgets, pricing is very reasonable, and she does not push unnecessary treatments. I had a night guard made, and not only is it very comfortable, but it was a lot less expensive than what my previous dentist quoted me. Also, my father, who lives out of town, recently had a dental emergency when in the city, and I suggested that he call Dr. Jecu's office instead of calling his old dentist here. Sure enough, she was able to get him in promptly - and he was extremely impressed as well. Also worth mentioning that Dr. Jecu does some of the regular cleanings herself - but her hygienist, Lis, is amazing too. Highly recommended!

As someone who would rather walk barefoot on hot coals than attend a dental appointment, I can…read moreconfidently say that Dr.Jecu and her team are next level in quality of care and the experience. From making the initial phone call to the appointment, every team member went above and beyond making sure you were comfortable - (offering tea,coffee or water while waiting!) If you're a nervous or anxious person, Dr.Jecu and the hygienists take the time to explain the procedures and are pleasant and patient if you need a break. The office itself is calming, the background music helps as does the ceiling decor : ) 10/10 recommend!

I am no different than many others who, don't really like going to the dentist. Actually after past…read moreexperiences I must say that I am a little scared of dentists. I finally dragged myself into this place because it looked cute and I needed to see a dentist. I am so glad I chose this place. The dentist Dr. Amini is a sensitive and caring doctor. She is very positive and listens to your concerns. The office is very high tech. They have a massaging dental chair and you can watch movies or tv during the visit. I felt much more at ease and did not dig my nails into the chair for the first time in many years. I didn't scream, or scramble to get out of the chair and trust me that is something to YELP about in a good way. If you have had a bad experience and do not like going to the dentist I highly recommend this location. I will be moving my kids here for their dental care.

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!

Dr. Nashid and his team are absolutely incredible. I cannot say enough good things about them. The…read moreprofessionalism, kindness, and genuine attention you receive from the moment you walk through the door, to the aftercare you receive when you leave is nothing short of top notch. As a dentist, Dr. Nashid is one that really listens to you and your concerns. I am generally a nervous dental patient, but with him, I am always at ease. A particular thing that I really respect about him is his "conservative approach" to dentistry. In general terms, this means that he isn't going to recommend you undergo procedures unless they are actually necessary. I recently had a routine cleaning at a different dentist (because I am away for school). I was told that I needed six fillings redone. When I came home and checked with Dr. Nashid, it turned out I only needed one taken care of. This is just one example showing that he genuinely cares about his patients, and is not just "in it for the money." Thanks again, Smile View Dental! You're absolutely amazing.

Unfortunately, I also feel pushed to get certain procedures done. I had 6 cavities done over 5 years at Bite, but last year they told me that the cavities had to be refilled.

I appreciate reminders, but getting dates mixed up seem to be a subtle way to recall me more frequently.

After a…read morethorough examination, and to my surprise, the dentist, Dr. A Valiushka, advised me to not get any dental work since I did not need it. She did, however, took a few X-rays of my teeth to make sure they were healthy. We also took advantage of our visit to get X-rays taken of my daughter's teeth. I was advised to get a night retainer and they proceeded to scan my teeth to get me a new and proper retainer. The other great ladies in the office where as delicate as Dr. A Valiushka, being very aware that most people don't like having any work done in their mouth. I must say, these are the most delicate dental workers I have ever gone to. They will be our "Forever Dentist" from now on. And we don't even live in Canada! Have I mentioned we also had fun?
