Was referred here by my dentist for wisdom tooth assessment, and was very impressed by Dr. Benjamin…read moreLi's knowledge and professionalism. The office is busy on the weekends, but the staff is friendly and very organized. Consultations don't feel rushed, the surgeon makes sure you are very well informed of your assessment and lets you know exactly what to expect, so you can make well-informed decisions. Wisdom tooth removal appointment only took a few mins. I was in and out in 15 minutes! That includes signing the consent form, payment, setting up a follow-up appointment, and the whole wisdom tooth extraction procedure. Bottomline: a very smooth-sailing and fast and easy procedure. Because the surgeon is good and very knowledgeable, there were no complications in the procedure. I recommend Dr. Benjamin Li to anyone looking for a good oral surgeon. Oh, and they also call you a couple days later to check how you are doing, and to let you know you can always call if you have any questions or concerns. Review 86 of 100

If I could give this doctor negative stars I would. He performed a double jaw surgery on me 10…read moreyears ago and completely destroyed my skull. Initially he had convinced myself and my parents that it would be life threatening for me to not undergo this very costly surgery, insisting my jaw would lock shut in the next few years and I would never eat again and struggle with breathing for the rest of my life. This was a lie. On the day of my surgery I was forced to consent to all listed procedures or my entire surgery would be cancelled, so when I saw 'chin augmentation' listed without ever having spoken to me or discussed desired outcomes regarding my chin shape I was concerned but given no choice other than to consent or abandon my surgical date which I had scheduled over a year in advance to align with my school schedule. When I asked for explanation as to what this chin augmentation entailed, I was assured that it was just a formality 'in case' he had to shave down or reshape my chin after repositioning my jaws. I should have abandoned the surgery altogether at this point but I unfortunately trusted the doctor and signed the form. The second I woke up from surgery I knew something was horribly wrong. There was a hole in the roof of my mouth that connected to my sinuses, there was no second surgical site for bone grafts to have been taken for the upper jaw expansion, I was bleeding profusely, and the nurses were so incompetent that one held a tissue to my nose, pinching my bleeding nose shut and telling me to blow when I had already been told I could not do this for several weeks after surgery. As my lungs were empty and I could not breath through my mouth, I could not blow, or BREATHE and had to fight this nurse off of me as I turned blue because she would not let go. My mother finally entered the room screaming and this nurse was removed from my face. I informed the medical team immediately of the hole in the roof of my mouth preventing me from being able to form suction with my mouth so I could not use the straws they were providing for liquid nutrition or hydration limiting me to syringe feeding for the entire healing period. I was told that the hole didn't exist, it was all in my head, and that the surgery had gone perfectly. This was just the start of my nightmare. I was released from the hospital after two days still unable to properly breathe or eat/drink as the I could not create any suction, the swelling was immense, and involved my sinuses as the doctor had fully ripped the roof of my mouth in half and was denying it. Within hours of arriving home the swelling had increased so much I again could not breathe, was turning blue, and had to be rushed back to the hospital. The next three weeks consisted of struggling to consume enough liquids with a syringe, and follow up appointments with my jaw still banded shut with a plastic plate between my teeth blocking the doctor from actually seeing the hole he was still denying existed. At the three week appointment he finally removed the bands, removed the plastic plate, and was 'shocked' to find the hole I had been describing to him in writing since minutes after waking up from surgery. This hole was left to fester, insisting it would close on its own for another 3 months before dr tocchio finally closed the hole one week before he knew I had a flight returning to school. This repair failed, and I was now abroad with a festering wound. The lack of bone grafts was also becoming evident as the upper jaw was not healing and was starting to move on its own with 'nonunion fractures'. I was forced to have two procedures abroad, where Dr Tocchio advised a local maxilliofacial surgeon on how to proceed with me, to remove rejecting hardware as titanium foil and screws/plates were protruding through my gums. When I returned to Toronto I saw Dr Tocchio again, who did another procedure to attempt the bone grafts he negligently skipped in favour of poorly installing a chin implant I never wanted over a year after my initial surgery. Again, in hindsight I should have found another surgeon before proceeding but dr Tocchio had overseen everything so far and was insisting it was my fault in aftercare that all these things were going wrong. I BEGGED him to take the bone grafts from my hip or ribs as my jaw was already so badly damaged and he insisted he would. When I woke up from this next procedure with no surgical sites outside of my mouth, I was livid. He had chosen to take the grafts from the tip of my jaw joint, exactly where I had begged him not to. This procedure healed poorly, still left movement in the breaks in my upper jaw, and left me so mangled there was no more solid bone left for future surgeons to attempt any further fixes. My upper jaw was now at its final state- with blocks of teeth wiggling in line with where the breaks in my jaw were. 10 years later I am still in daily pain, have attempted to end my life, have screws protruding, and 100k surgical debt.

He insisted on fixing a gummy smile that I didn't have. I told him I wasn't concerned with it and didn't think it was a gummy smile. He removed 4mm of bone from my upper jaw and now my top teeth are always hidden behind my upper lip. He also insisted on performing a sliding genioplasty because it was "cosmetically necessary" to lengthen the chin once the lower jaw was pushed back. I expressed multiple times that I did not want any work done to my chin. Now it protrudes even more than it did when I had the underbite. To top it off, I have permanent numbness on half of my lower face, and one tooth that has been a deep grey colour since. The numbness was a risk I was aware of going into the surgery, but coupled with everything else is inexcusable to me. I do not have the money for cosmetic surgeries to fix all of Dr. Tocchio's mistakes. The most I can do now is advise anyone else who might be considering this doctor to look elsewhere.

"The one with the laughing gas."…read more The Good: Very nice and professional surgeon who was thorough in his explanation of the procedure and the recovery process; surgery was done very quickly and recovery only took 4 days; didn't have to take any pain pills that were given to me as a precaution; painless! The Bad: Had to wait about 20 minutes to get into the surgical room and then had to wait another 20 for the surgeon to wrap up his previous appointment (although you can't really blame him, apparently the previous patient was late) Overview: I had to take out one wisdom tooth (yes, I'm lucky!) on my bottom right jaw. My appointment was July 15. Dr Gay was very thorough in analyzing my x-ray and explaining to me what had to be done and why. He then went over the choice of anesthetics and offered me to choose. I went with all three (Nitrous Oxide aka "Laughing Gas" + IV + Freezing). The procedure went flawlessly with me passing out right after he gave me the IV (right before he gave me the IV I was given the gas with N2O to help me "loosen up"). I then woke up to have someone stick a gauze in my jaw and have me bite down. The nurse then guided me over to the rest room where I lay down on a bed with a blanket over me while I recovered from the effects of the IV (felt a little light-headed but that was expected). She handed over a kit with gauze, a syringe and more reading material on the recovery process to my brother and went over the do's and don'ts in detail. She then scheduled a follow-up checkup the following week, where she'd also go over what was going to be done with that plastic syringe she provided in the kit. The freezing numbed the inside of my mouth completely and I felt no pain. Bleeding stopped after 3 hrs or so and I didn't need the gauze anymore. For the next two days there was a bit of swelling with the most two days after but it was overall painless! Had to take anti-biotics that he gave me though (3 pills a day of Novamoxin until the bottle was completely done). Didn't have to take any of the Tylenol 3 he prescribed, so I guess he must have done a pretty decent job. Had to eat congee for about a week though. After about 4 days, I was OK to go back to work and the swelling was completely gone. I still couldn't open my jaw all the way though, but that was expected as it was a little sore still. Went back the following Wednesday for the courtesy appointment. This time, a nurse invited me to a room where she went over how the syringe is used with salt-water to clear food out of the wound. Didn't hurt as she went through the demonstration (actually felt refreshing) and after that I tried it out and that was it. It's been about 3 weeks now and I'm back to my normal eating habits completely. My jaw's fine now and I'm really thankful I had a good doctor (heard horror stories of some people that took a lot longer). If you're looking for a highly professional dentist with a quick recovery process, give Dr Gay a try! [Extra/Helpful Tips] If you're parking downstairs in the parking lot be aware that there's a 2 hr limit! There are some random local restaurants and a Shoppers Drug Mart in the same plaza so your friend/family member that came with you can wait around until you're done (you're not allowed to drive home afterward and probably shouldn't anyway). It's just after Lawrence on the east side of McCowan - turn into the Shoppers Drug Mart and walk towards Lawrence. It's right before the TD bank, on the second floor. - Simon

I'm not really sure I have anything good to say here…read more Last year I developed an infection in the gums around my wisdom teeth. I don't have insurance so I don't go to a dentist regularly unless I absolutely need to. After taking xrays and looking at my tooth she told me my wisdom tooth needs to come out because it was impacted and would keep getting infected. So far so good. Then, she tells me my tooth is super close to the nerve. And I quote "there is a high chance you will get facial paralysis" from the nerve getting damaged because of its proximity to the tooth roots during the extraction. She didn't use the word "parasthesia" which would have been more appropriate, not really sure what she meant by paralysis??? She prescribed me some antibiotics for the infection and referred me to an oral surgeon (on reading his reviews left me feeling more anxious about the nerve damage). Never once did she alleviate my fears or concerns or tell me about my options, or treatment plan or recovery, in fact I felt extremely despondent and desolate after that appointment. I had to ask her what are my options and get this she said and I QUOTE, "Oh we can go back 5 years and take it out then" .... My last appointment with her was actually 3 years ago at which point she failed to mention this or follow up with me. Also what kind of comment is that from a professional? To this day I do not understand what the point was of that comment since we can;t obviously go back in time, unless she has been working on that versus doing her actual job of being a dentist. Definitely think its time to change dentists as I will NEVER ever go back to her. And strongly recommend you don't go to her as well. Well you can make a decision accordingly based on my experience. I never went to the surgeon she recommended, but went to another one based on my own research, and I had a really great dental experience after that. I never went back to her. Thanks.
