I would hope that as Dentists you understand oral health aligns with or derails a person's overall health. By making access difficult, it harms the strength of support Canadians contribute towards health care. It would be nice to see Dentists of Canada work to become part of everyone's lives. My hygienist was miles better today than my last visit. I didn't feel like my presence was a chore someone had to scrape through (literally). Thank you.

I can't say enough about the exceptional care I received from Dr. Winter. The first time I met him…read morewas several years ago during what was truly the worst dental pain of my life. I had an agonizing root canal situation--the kind that even hospital morphine couldn't touch. I was in absolute misery. On that particular Saturday, Dr. Winter offered to meet me at his office that very evening or even on the Sunday, just to help me get out of that excruciating pain. What's even more remarkable is that he was even ready to arrange for his staff to come in as well, making sure he and his team could take care of me outside of normal hours. It's incredibly rare to find a dentist willing to go so far above and beyond, especially outside regular hours, and to bring in extra help just to ensure a patient is okay. Dr. Winter not only resolved the issue, but did so with a level of kindness and compassion that is truly extraordinary. If you need a dentist who genuinely cares and will go the extra mile, Dr. Winter is the one.

Despite my initial positive experience with Dr. Winter, it gives me no pleasure to write about the…read morereal problems I experienced with his work. Lower Right: Dr. Winter did not inform me that the bridge made by the lab was too long and didn't fit. Instead of returning it back to the lab, he proceeded with its installation by adjusting one of the existing teeth and slicing the side of another one without asking for my permission or even informing me. When the job was done, the bridge was sitting lower than the original teeth used to be, creating quite a visible gap with my upper teeth, and leaving me with pain, which I never had on this side before, and which he was not able to address despite many adjustments he made. The only response from him was: "Just avoid eating on this side." Common sense tells us that one doesn't go to a dentist to do a major work in order to acquire permanent pain. I would never recommend him as a dentist.

I contacted them on Monday after the weekend and they had me in the same Monday at 12pm. Not to look it...they actually did the work. I was there for around 90 minutes getting a filling and new night guard fitted. I've been going to Dr. Ray and Fairview for over 20 years. There is no better dental office. Dr. Dylan actually did the filling yesterday...he is fantastic too. They are true professionals - care about the client first...contentious; provide great communication and are always concerned about what it will cost the patient. I couldn't recommend them more.

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.

Prior to coming to Canada, I had a wonderful dentist in the United States whom I always used as a…read morebench mark to assess the quality of dental care I received and the dentists I visited. Dr. Chen and Dr. Wu are the only ones whose skills and knowledge match that bench mark. My family and I have been going to their clinic for over a decade; I have always been treated by Dr. Chen and my son has been treated by Dr. Wu. Their knowledge on anything related to dental health is incredible. It was Dr. Chen who told me that I grind my teeth in my sleep when no other dentist (several I have seen) noticed. Likewise, it was Dr. Wu who informed me that my son' teeth are slightly protruding and should be fixed to help with his breathing and proper functioning of his jaw. I would otherwise never have noticed (now that I can see the outcome of the treatment I can finally tell). Both Dr. Chen and Dr. Wu are continuing to learn, to educate themselves, improving on their knowledge, skills; this is based on my experiences, my observations and my conversation with them whenever I visit them. They are both observant, extremely knowledgeable, and professional. Whenever I have issues related with teeth or oral health, I know I have the best people to help me. I have recommended them to all my friends and colleagues. If you want high quality dental and oral care, this is the place.

One memorable experience: After I experienced some jaw pain, I came to see her to check things out.

I had NEVER heard of this before, but I went to the specific RMT she mentioned and it was life changing. Seriously. After just one session, my jaw pain was gone. I was so relieved and grateful! If Dr Lee hasn't suggested that, I'm not sure what I would have done.

Everyone must bill 3.5 unit of scaling along with other procedures as a must.. is it legal? Or over billing? Shouldn't be it as work and time needed? It's about making more money

On your first visit to the office, you don't sit down in the dentist chair right away - instead Dr. Marshall takes you into his office and has a little "teeth chat" - he goes over any problems you've had in the past, worries/concerns you have, or hopes for the future. Yes, hopes for your teeth. Then you're ushered into the light and airy dental chair areas and get the inspections done by fantastic hygienists (Mel is awesome!) while getting a view of the North Shore mountains. They also have blankets for you if you ever feel chilly! They are very thorough - whenever you need work done, the dentists explain exactly what has happened, and the various courses of action that they can take to fix it. I've often sat in the chair with a hand mirror, while the dentist shows me something on my teeth or gums. Fascinating - these guys really love teeth. They are excellent dentists too - very precise with their work, and I've never had pain when they're working on my mouth! The only downside is that apparently they are on the expensive end of dentistry, but it's totally worth it for me to know that I have experts working on my teeth! However, if money's tight for you, ask them to do an insurance proposal for anything they plan on doing - so you know what you're getting into. The office is always happy to do that, and abide by my wishes! I have referred three of my friends to the Drs Marshall office and everyone has been happy with them too!

My husband and I have been going to see Dr. Bruce Marshall since we moved to Vancouver. He was…read morereferred to us by our neighbor, a Professor of Dentistry from UBC, so we considered that a very credible endorsement. Bruce, his assistant Ting and his hygienist Mel are outstanding. My first visit with Dr. Marshall involved a sit-down in his office with a discussion about my dental health and my goals for my teeth. I had never previously experienced that level of concern over my chompers and it wasn't until then that I realized my teeth had been under-achievers! Dr. Marshall is a fabulous technician but what sets him apart from his peers are his excellent communication skills and his focus on making your dental experience as pleasant as one could have in a dental chair. From the second that you sit down you are told that you are the boss and if something isn't working for you, changes will be made until it does work for you to get the desired result. What other dentist calls you to check how you are doing after a procedure and gives you their personal cell phone number to call if there are any problems once so ever? Other than dentist drills sounding like they are noises being emitted from the final circle of hell (unavoidable), Dr. Marshall has created an environment that even the most fearful dental patient would have to admit is actually quite pleasant. My husband and I have recommended him to friends and colleagues and we would not hesitate to do so again in the future.
