On the search for a new dentist now that Dr. Tam's practice has been removed from the list of…read moreapproved dentists for indian health after doing poor quality work and a lot of repeat work on his native patients. He has a nickname in the native community because of this - Tam Scam. I switched to Dr. Tam after my dentist retired (maybe 8yrs ago give or take) Had great teeth back then, no problems but then I got a cavity. Cavity filled, problem solved right? Nope. The filling came out. Again and again and again. I've been getting this same tooth filled almost annually since I first got that cavity and over the years it's only gotten worse. That cavity became an abscess (which is agonizing and in severe cases potentially life threatening) I had a root canal and it was filled in again. Yet again the filling has come undone, the cavity exposed and now I have no nerves there to tell me how worried I should be. Today part of that tooth has literally just fallen off while I ate food that wasn't even very solid and now it feels sharp and scrapey, which is what prompted me to write this review. Thank you Tam, for making a simple cavity an ongoing ordeal for me and making sure that I never take dental health for granted ever again. Just so you could earn a few extra bucks off my health coverage. Well maybe more than a few...

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'm very pleased so far: they're on time, prompt, thorough, and attentive. My cleaning was fantastic, one of the best I've had in years. Dr Ryan has done a great job with a filling and starting the work on a crown I needed: it's been pain-free, and all explained as I go along. And the front-of-office staff are super, too. They worked with me when I was changing my insurance coverage, and helped me maximize the benefit. They rang me a week after my temporary crown just to see how I was feeling (no discomfort at all, as it happens). And they'll give you vouchers for free parking at the Purdys Wharf parkade, too.

What a gift to find this dental office in Halifax. We moved to Halifax in March 2022 and, of…read morecourse, had to find a new dentist to take care of our oral health. From the moment I walked in to discuss moving our records to Bishop's Landing Dental Center, I knew we had found our new dentist. We were genuinely welcomed and made to feel like we had always been patients here. My first dental visit was a routine cleaning. Molly was kind and gentle and very professional. My next visit was for a dental exam with Dr. Hassan. In all my 63 years, I have never had such a thorough and complete oral exam! Dr Hassan is not only a great dentist but he is a lovely human. I had some very minor work done and thanks to both Dr Hassan and Kim, his dental assistant, my usual nervousness in a dental office was calmed. I highly recommend Dr Hassan and his Dental Practice.

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.

Until last month I had not been to the dentist in two years. I had also moved since I last went for…read morea check-up, so my lifelong dental clinic in Dartmouth was just not convenient for me to get to anymore. So, when I finally got around to making an appointment in January (yay for having medical coverage!), I decided to try a new clinic in a more central location. I chose BL rather arbitrarily - I knew I wanted a place close to my work (Dal) so I took to Google with that one very simple search term and this place was one of the first results. There were no reviews that I could find online but a bit of research seemed to show that they were nice enough, so I made an appointment, fingers crossed that my 'good vibes' were warranted. I could not be more thrilled with my choice! First of all, the office is very slick and modern and they are very high-tech. They do everything on the computer and appear to have lots of neat dental software to get the job done, which is refreshing (my last clinic was kind of stuck in the 1990's, honestly). You can book appointments online, and they will even email and text you reminders for appointments - as a busy, mobile person permanently attached to either a computer or smartphone, I really appreciate the convenience. The staff is all super nice here and really make you feel comfortable. I can't remember the name of the hygienist who did my cleaning but she was SO warm and friendly and clearly explained everything she was doing, which took a great deal of anxiety out of the process. I am really glad that my instincts were correct and my rather random choice of clinic paid off! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Deceptive and money hungry…read more I went in for a single filling. As soon as they found out I had good plan coverage, they lead me through a series of assistants and evaluation procedures. One after the other never getting to the actual dentist. They claimed because it was my first visit at their office, that they need to set up a proper evaluation and file. In the end they took 3 hours of my time and charged me $1000 for a single filling, the rest being the billing padding done by the assistants. Luckily I paid $200, my 20% of the bill, the rest was covered by the plan. Any other dentist would have charged less than $200 and my share would have been 20% of that. Stay away from this place. And remember you pay for your plan coverage and it is based on billing to the plan members. You pay in the end.
