| - It had been 7+ years since my last dental check-up, so it was with some trepidation that I enter Metropolitan Dental (MD). Located on the lower level of MaRS next to the food court, I'll be honest that I chose this dentist primarily because it's next to my office, and I pass by it often on my way to lunch. Having experienced MD, however, I would easily recommend this dentist to friends and family.
MaRS is a stunning building, and MD continues the trend within its deceptively large space. The facility is classy, bright, clean, and looks brand new. Impressively, the music selection playing in the background is pretty good; no easy rock here, I definitely heard some MGMT on rotation. The dental chairs, with their soothing back massage, nearly lulled me into an afternoon nap (if, you know, it weren't for the tooth work going on.)
Dr. Andrew Plaitis is a young, professional dentist. I felt he was thorough and attentive during my complete exam, and he was easy to talk to. I didn't feel at any time that he was trying to sell me anything, and he was cool with the fact that I hadn't been to the dentist in years. (He also said I had great teeth, despite my lack of dental attention, so perhaps I'm biased. Whatever, flattery works.)
My hygienist for the cleaning was Laurie, and she was friendly, professional, and a pleasure to interact with. Her work was careful and thorough, and she made sure throughout that I was comfortable. I was given the option to schedule my next cleaning with Laurie, so I'll be seeing her again in a few months.
Ruth at reception is great, and will happily submit insurance claims electronically. Having my own dental insurance is new to me, and they're good at working with you, and with what you've got. Also, they do take Amex, despite their website saying otherwise.
If you're looking for a new dentist, Metropolitan Dental will make you smile. (What, I'm no Vivek S!)
