It'll be sooooo fun, at the end our mouth will hurt, we'll have chapped lips, and we'll get a bill for $400." - No one ever. Hands up if you like the dentist! Anyone? Anyone? No one likes going to the dentist, especially me. My Dad used to pull my teeth out with needle-nosed pliers when I was little. Incidentally, these same pliers also spent time working on the car and other odd jobs...don't worry though, he wiped them off on a rag before they went in my mouth. Oh yeah, I also have parts of my two front teeth that are fake (don't worry, his home dentistry biz couldn't handle that one). I have such a "not small" fear of the dentist that I didn't go for like 6 years. One day I realized that my fear of being 30 and having dentures is greater than my fear of the dentist so I started looking for a dentist that would be really nice to me. A co-worker recommended Downtown Dental and I phoned and told them my scary dental story and asked them if they could be extra nice to me. That was three years ago and now I go every six months. I don't like many of the dental sounds (scraping, drilling etc.) even if they are from someone else's mouth so I they suggested I bring some music to listen to. However, on the day of my appointment I forgot my ipod at home. The receptionist insisted I listen to her ipod as she knew it would help. Love it. Going to the dentist is never fun, but these guys make it as easy as possible. They also send me a birthday card each year (and it's not to remind me to book an appointment, it's just to wish me a happy birthday) - I like it. Bonus! - they've also moved into PennWest Plaza, also the location of Rise Bakery, home of Crack Bun, so you can sink your clean teeth into a cinnamon-y delight right after your appointment. If Crack Bun is part of the process, I could be persuaded to go weekly....ok, maybe not.

I've been going to Nosehill Dental for a couple years now and Dr. Sajel Patel has been my dentist…read more I can't say enough about how great she and her staff are! Let's face it. No one wants to visit the dentist. When Dr. Patel is looking after me I feel completely comfortable. I literally feel nothing when she uses the needle to freeze my mouth. During the entire time my comfort is what's most important. "You're going to feel a pinch." "You're going to feel vibration." "Are you doing OK? Just raise your hand if you want me to stop." "Now I'm going to do this." And so on. With past dentists I would have a sore jaw and gums for days after. Not with Dr. Patel! I no longer cringe at the thought of visiting the dentist! The dental hygienists and front desk staff are just the icing on the cake. Fun folks but still very professional!

You thought "Lawyers" were scumbags and crooks! Some "Alberta Dentists" make them look like…read morephilanthropists! "Alberta Dental Association" legalized "price gouging", when they abolished the fee guide. Nothing illegal with "dental price gouging", nor is charging $10 for a .50 cent bottle of water in Hurricane Katrina. Dr. Art Piercy Owner ---------------------------- He flat out refuses to give reasonable rates, graduated in the 70's and feels his "experience" allows him to "price gouge." Keep in mind computers didn't even exist back then. Previous Employee Tells us How it Works --------------------------------------------------------- Art bills each "dentist" a set fee for each procedure they do. Ex: Root Canal, (3 roots/filling) Art gets $1148 for everyone sold and the dentist gets % of what's left over. They charge $1500 PLUS $300 for the filling. Each "dentist" is billed out at full rate, No matter the what country or year graduated. Your Dentist will try to max your Insurance --------------------------------------------------------- Look for a dentist with reasonable rate. Retail price for root canals in Edmonton around $500 and Calgary around $1000. One of art's "special root canals" will cost you $2000 and will max out most insurance plans.

Amazing experience with Dimension Dentistry. All staff are friendly, compassionate and efficient…read more I especially want to thank Dr. Mark Fairbanks and Danica for their incredible work on the bonding of my teeth. I've been through so much with dentists and orthodontists, never being fully happy with the results, and have experienced significant dental trauma which has given me major anxiety about receiving any dental work. Dimension Dentistry changed everything, they listened carefully to my concerns and what I was willing and not willing to do. They didn't try to force anything on me, and the administrative staff were all very polite and helpful in working together between my health insurance and I. I didn't feel a thing while Dr. Mark Fairbanks worked his magic for almost 2 hours, and it was such a relief, my teeth are beautiful and my confidence has been restored.

I get it and understand it if it was necessary then yes but as a parent I have all the right to know what they're proceeding with specially when they will be removing those 2 tooth. Then I try to have conversation with the office manager and she said let's go in my office, when I asked let me drop my kids to their school bus and I'll come to talk. instead of resolving the issue the owner who is also dentist there get in the middle and put his hand on me. I try to record him when he get very aggressive, he try to grab my phone aggressively and throw my phone away, broke the screen of my phone, he slapped me, put his hand on my neck and jaw line very forcefully to hold me from my neck and arm and throw me out of the door in front of my kids saying get out of my business. I also heart my foot from the door frame. I called the 911. He didn't even waited for the police and fled the scene. He should be ashamed as a doctor who treat his clients like that specially infront of kids.my kids are still traumatized and telling everyone how that dr was so rude and hit my mommy in his school and Neighbour. How can you be a doctor and hitting people in scrub. What a example you have set up for my kids. They would be always traumatized by a dentist now.
