I want to thank Dr. Ahmed that he made it possible for me to smile again. He did 3 implants for me , of the front upper teeth ( the incisors ) which were broken and had crowns . My case was very bad and difficult to reconstruct because there was infection going on for years under the crowns made improperly by a previous corrupt dentist in another country. I had lost bone mass and the roots were eroding.
Regardless of all this Dr. Ahmed did the impossible to give me brand new teeth looking exactly the same as my original teeth . It was almost 3 years process . Dr. Ahmed is a very high level orthodontist

I have a paralyzingly fear of needles/sharp objects. At my appointment I had an anxiety attack and almost went running in fear- My hygienist Stephanie was patient, calm and understanding. Oral care is very important to overall health and I understand it’s not everyone’s favourite. I highly recommend this clinic. I felt safe, respected and in control. Thank you for the great experience.

If you are looking for a dental office where you receive excellent dental care AND are also made to feel like family, this definitely is the place to be! Dr. Cheryl Tuira is amazing (not just because we both have the same love for strong coffee), but she is also very knowledgeable and caring and helped me to make an informed decision on my… replacement crown. Dr. Vitoratos performed wisdom tooth surgery on my daughter, and he was extremely patient and took the time to ensure that the procedure was explained in detail. The front desk staff, the assistants and the hygienists are friendly and

Dr Zia is one of the best dental doctors in the city. I have been going to his clinic for a long time. I have give the clinic a three stars is because of the receptionist. She has forgotten the primary functions of her job (customer service). For customer service I would give her a zero star. Its sad that just because of one person the whole clinic suffers.
