| - I've been going to this dentist for over 20 years and even though I now live downtown Toronto, I still go "home" to have everything done at this location.
I'll admit that you need to be careful when choosing a hygienist - some of them are really rough and others are not so much (and I think this is true of almost all dental offices), but all of them are fairly talkative and make the time in the chair go by pretty quickly. You always get a choice of cleaning paste flavor (cherry, bubblegum or mint) and when I was a kid, they had wicked fluoride flavors, tutti frutti. The best part about this place is that they'll work with you to make sure you get what you need. I was without benefits for a while and as such, they were willing to try and keep the cost down for the sake of my wallet. My boyfriend is in need of a custom nightguard and we need to front some of the cost as my benefits doesn't cover it all and they were more than happy to offer him a payment plan to ensure he got his night guard sooner than later (and they were more concerned with him getting the nightguard it seemed!).
When I was a kid, there were only 2 dentists or so here and now the number has increased quite a bit, but all of them are very nice, very thorough and explain everything as they go along. I had my wisdom teeth out last year in-office (no hospital for me) and recently had one cavity filled and another existing filling redone and both experiences were good. When I had my wisdom teeth out, I had complications by no fault of the dentist, but they were willing to answer questions and had me in just to make sure everything was progressing properly when I was worried (and no charge on that visit).
The two very best things about Amberlea Dental are:
The Staff: All of the front office staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating (and when you're due for a cleaning, you always get vice nice pleasant voicemails asking for a call back) and they all seem to care about the patients
The Hours: They're open until 9PM almost every night of the week, open on Saturdays and closed on Sundays. This makes it easy for you to get off work at 6, head to get your teeth cleaned at 7 and be home in time for a late dinner. Even for me coming from Toronto, I never have a problem if I'm running late: I've had to call them a few times and they've been nothing but accommodating.
If you live in the area and are trying to decide what dentist to go to, this is a safe bet!
