About a year and a half ago I moved to the Fairview area and was in need a dentist. To add to…read morethings, I was going to need an understanding dentist, since for 3 years I didn't have extended health coverage and couldn't really afford to see a dentist routinely. This all changed a few months ago when I finally got a real job. Not only did I find an understanding dentist with Dr. Leung, but I also found a dentist who is personable, efficient but thorough, and has a great team.
I have always thought I had good dentists while growing up. My childhood, adolescent and twenties-self had dentists that were, all-in-all, pretty good. However, after going to Fairview Dental, my thoughts of what a dentist office can be have been raised. The equipment and techniques used at Fairview Dental are all state-of-the-art. Cameras that can take pictures and videos of your teeth and be displayed on a giant monitor beside you, digital X-rays that take less than a second, fluoride treatments that actually taste good and take less than 30 seconds, and actual comfy dentist chairs are all things used at Fairview Dental. If you have the environment in mind, you'll be pleased to know that the Fairview Dental Centre uses all biodegradable sterilants and cleaners.
To add comfort/enjoyment to the visit, there are tvs installed in the ceiling above that you can watch while being worked on. If you want to try and ignore the fact that you're at the dentist, they can provide noise cancelling headphones and the tv remote to change to any of the several channels of tv or music. Although they offer this luxury, I have never chosen to block out all the things going on, since as limited as it is, I've always had a good time having some conversation or listening to the neat facts given by the dentist and hygienists.
One thing that I thought was great was that you can provide your email and phone numbers when you book an appointment. A few days before the appointment, depending on the method you chose, they will either call you or send you an email with a reply button that will let them know that you will be there or need to reschedule. For a person on the go and can forget things, I found the use of an electronic reminder and check in a great thing!
To add to everything, the pricing and efficiency of the staff is amazing. I needed some extensive dental work lately which included a scaling, polish, filling, discing, and routine checkup. In an hour and a half all was done, and was cheaper than it has ever cost anyone I've known for a "touch up " on a filling. As a nice service, if you're a regular client and are getting married, Fairview Dental will set up an appointment for you to come in for a polishing a week before the wedding for a free polish so you look all good for your photos. Very cool!
I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the friendly and efficient staff, modern techniques, and great pricing the Fairview Dental Centre offers. This is a great dental clinic that I will go to for years to come, even if/when I move out of the Fairview area, since it's just that good.
