I know I scared Heather, my fab hygienist, the first time I went, telling her how much I hated teeth cleaning - worse than child birth or root canal. And I have to admit, she's made every visit painless. Dr Shore has all the latest technical tools to ensure that my experience (and everyone else's) is the best it can be - the state-of-the-art modelling software that creates awesome crowns is my personal favorite. No doubt about it. This is the best dental experience you'll ever have.

I can't say enough about Dr. Brouwer and Cece (sorry if spelling is wrong Cece). They are wonderful and I am so grateful my cousin told me about them. I will never go somewhere else!

I will however, give a big thumbs up to the Mumford Family Dental Center. Dr. Brower and Dr. Moore are the kindest, funniest people in the industry of dental work! Whenever I visit the dentist, I go home with a big smile on my face. They make me feel welcome, help me laugh to keep my mind off the work they are doing and I never wait for my appointment. I will never change my dentist and I will continue to refer my friends and family there!

I recently switched to this dental clinic after reading the reviews on Yelp and I was not…read moredisappointed! Everyone who works here it friendly and thoughtful. I got a check up with Dr. Lucy and then returned for a cleaning with the hygienist. When you enter through the double doors you'll find the waiting area and the reception desk with the three admins. There's a tv in one section of the waiting room and one in each of the rooms that I've been in for work. They took special care to find out if I was comfortable or had any anxiety about visiting the dentist. There is lots of free parking given that it's located in a large strip mall and it's across the street from the Dartmouth bus terminal for those taking transit. If you're looking for a new dental clinic, I definitely recommend this one. To note though, you'll need to go in for a special new patient appointment before they'll do any work on your teeth, so don't wait for a cavity!

I called their office long distance from Calgary in an effort to seek advise from a former dentist…read morethat had worked here about a year ago. It took me a long time to locate her. Anyway, I called the office and it was about 10AM here so about 1PM there I suppose; and the phone continued to ring and ring. I hung up, and later tried again. This time I let it ring for quite a while thinking perhaps an answering machine would kick in. Instead, the reception picked up the phone and without hearing a word from me, asked me to hold. No problem I said. So; I continued to wait for about 5 minutes, then suddenly the phone slammed down on my ear. I then called back and asked the receptionist why the phone was slammed down, and she said that she was busy. OKAY.....I said. I went on to mention the nature of my call, and she assured me that she would relay the message. I waited 3 days and no return of the message. I also sent emails. Still nothing. Sent them back an email in return stating that I"m glad I"m not a patient of theirs . That they can keep that type of practice is Dartmouth Nova Scotia where it belongs! Not nice people in my opinion.

I had my first Root Canal at this office. I was concerned about it due to the many "horror stories"…read morethat people give particularly about the pain. But I thought it's better than losing the tooth. The process was thorough and painless. I was placed in a 360° scanner after the procedure to check for anomalies. All was well. Kudos to Dr. Livingstone and the staff at HCCD. Thank you!

I really liked this clinic on my first couple of visits. The welcome room is lovely and I felt both…read morethe Hygienist and the Dentist were kind, professional, and knowledgeable. Over the past year, however, I have learned more about my dental health from other professionals. This made me realize how poorly Herring Cove Dental and Dr. Livingstone had assessed me. When I followed up to see what happened on my initial visit a year ago, Dr. Livingstone got defensive and said because she hadn't seen me throughout my life, she could only go by what she saw on her initial intake screen and assessment. Sounds fair enough, except that other professionals could only do the same, yet they asked more questions to make better assessments and talk with me about my dental history and current health. Very few professionals will be able to follow someone their whole lives- this should never be an excuse for not asking questions to make proper assessments. I'm just thankful I continued to do my own research and was able to self-refer to a specialist. The specialist identified some pretty obvious initial issues that had never been discussed with me by Dr. Livingstone. In fact, had it not been for my questions this past appointment, they still would not have been mentioned or addressed. Again initially, I really liked this location and had no complaints. I would have happily and confidently recommended them. But after what I have learned the past month, and in the disappointing response from Dr. Livingstone, I will be looking for a different dentist to support my care plan going forward.

I have been served by Lawen Dentistry since the day it opened. Not once in all that time have I…read morebeen less than completely satisfied. 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.

On the flip side from my poor experience in my Bedford doctor, is my experience with my Bedford…read moredentist. Dr. Moller, yep I said my dentist's name is Moller. Ok, so it's not a perfect match to the molar.. but it's hilariously close. A beautiful scenic view throughout the whole office. Right on the basin, and plenty of windows to look through. A great staff of dental assistants and doctors to make anyone feel as comfortable as can be. TV's in the ceiling to help distract from the possible pain you may be enduring. My last visit was of the emergency variety. They were very accommodating of me, and worked to get me in. So I think the four stars after the 30 minutes of pain I suffered through.. should be a good indicator of how good this office is.

So, I have to be honest. I'm not entirely sure how to review a dentist, so please bare with me…read more My family dentist, which I've been going to since before I can remember. I've always had the same dentist, and it's definitely a good way to do it. First of all, I should say that they recently renovated and for a waiting room, their waiting room is quite nice. I never have to spend much time in there, either. If I have an appointment at 11:30, I almost always get in by 11:40. This is one of the best things, I think, a health office can offer. Short waiting times. So, on to the actual treatment. They're a dentist. They do the horrible scrape-y bit, they polish your teeth, floss, and give you some nasty fluoride to stick in your mouth for a while. None of it is very fun. There's no way around that, so I'm not gonna complain about it. However, they are very thorough and keep up a constant stream of patter. Plus, they don't ask you questions while their hands are in their mouths; that can be very annoying. They're also very good for getting things done. Today I needed two teeth capped, they did it right after my cleaning. That is awesome. So, the people are friendly. They ask how I'm doing, what I've been up to. They remember me. The dentistry itself is good, they notice when things are wrong and offer good advice (more than just the token 'Floss more!'), and help you stay healthy. Plus, they have really groovy sunglasses to protect your eyes from the lights. What more could you want?

I did it purely because it was closer to my house, and came to deeply regret that decision. Dr Carr was happy to take me back and was able to help me with a potentially serious problem that the dentist at the other clinic missed. I also get my routine cleanings and check ups done here. The hygienists are great and I've never had a complaint about their work. Like most dental clinics, they will do direct billing to most insurance companies if you have coverage and bring your card with you.
