Dentists

I've been with Dr. Halpin for over 20 years and I have never had any issues with his services. Great staff and always up to date in the ever evolving field of dentistry. I am always satisfied with the professional way they treat me ! Thanks everyone !!

I initially started coming here because it was conveniently located downtown, on my way to work in a central location. I have since been coming to this dental clinic for approximately 5 years. As mentioned, the location is really great. The clinic is welcoming, warm and clean. The hours here are great. They often open as early as 7:30am (I think) allowing you to come by before work. Staff here are always friendly and courteous. They've always dealt with my insurance well too, if I owe anything they usually just give me a call, rather than having me pay upfront too. I like this, this is convenient for me. They have a program here too, each referral will earn you a gift card of sorts. I referred a friend, and they issued me a $25 Mastercard gift card! Amazing! My only complaint about this dental clinic is the high turn over in staff. It seems I have a new hygienist and dentist every time I visit... Overall, I really enjoy this dental clinic and I would recommend it.

One of the best dentists I've ever been to, the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend going here!

Best dentist in town

Dr. Joseph Lteif is no doubt a highly skilled and experienced dentist who truly cares about his patients. He eradicates my fear of dental work by clearly informing me of each step he will perform on my teeth and what level of pain I may or may not experience. As well he takes his time explaining the potential risks and benefits. I like that he ensures I don’t feel discomfort by confirming my level of pain throughout procedures and helps to alleviate it. He really takes his time performing procedures and does not rush and causes any harms. I would not see any other dentist and I would very highly recommend him to family and friends :)

Amazing. Dr. Price and her assistant Mary were really excellent. Very eager to make sure you have a positive dental experience. The convenience can't be beat. Odette on the front desk made everything run smoothly with the insurance. Great team.

Dr Large and her staff are wonderful. I suffer from anxiety and a fear of doctors and they made me feel safe and calm. I barely remember a thing. One minute I'm in the chair and the next I'm waking up in bed. Would definitely recommend especially to those with anxiety

Best dental office, great staff, amazing dentist!

I am an adult who was told by 3 orthodontic specialists that I would need surgery to fix my overbite and over jet. I had given up on fixing my smile until I met Dr. Halpin. I am currently undergoing treatment with him; 3/4 of way done, and my overbite and overjet have been rectified WITHOUT surgery!! Orthodontics is a craft to Dr.Halpin and he is very skilled at what he does. I highly recommend him.

Had a very good experience with two dentists here and a hygienist.

I had perfect and healthy teeth when I went to this clinic for a check up and they told me I need 9 fillings. I became suspicious at the time but was too busy and didnt go for a second opinion. I filled 6 teeth until my insurance ran out for the year. Also in my last visit, the doctor seemed too busy or in rush and drilled my tooth while it was half-frozen. I told him that its not fully frozen and Im in pain but he didnt care enough to wait for 10 more minutes and he kept drilling. After that awful visit I decided to stop going to PermaSmile. So I went to another place with very high rating in Ottawa and got two other dentists opinions and they both told me my teeth are perfectly fine and in very good health and there's no need to fill them . To PermaSmile, patients are only $$ and nothing else.

Great bilingual service in a cosy, clean office! Great staff and office!

I have seen both Dr. Guberman (who has since left) and Dr. MacDonald, and had very positive experiences with both. My kids (2 and 6) have also been in for visits, and all the hygenists and dentists have had a great mannerism with the kids - walking them through each instrument they were going to use, letting them touch it, asking permission to clean one tooth first and then the rest. My eldest had one cavity, and they referred us to a pediatric dentist (Kids and Teens Dentistry in Barrhaven) as they have a specialized setup for young children and fillings, so my kids and I have only had cleanings here plus recently my mouth guard. I have insurance and they submit the expenses on the spot on my behalf. One time, there was a charge that might not get covered, which they explained clearly ahead of time so that I could opt in and out of it; another time, when I requested a mouth guard, they submitted an estimate to the insurer ahead of time (before I even booked an appointment) so that I could decide whether or not to go ahead based on my coverage level.

Over the past 30+ years I have been attending the various practices that have operated in this space and have been quite satisfied with the care I've received. Yesterday, though, i had an especially positive experience. I was there for a fairly significant procedure, but before starting, the dentist, Dr. Abdullah Abdul, re-examined the tooth in question and reviewed with me its condition, concluding with asking me if I wanted to carry on with the procedure. In our discussion he was very open to say that, although it is at risk, the tooth currently is in good shape and could never require the procedure. This gave me the opportunity to weigh whether I wanted to move forward and I decided not to. He was quite fine with my decision. I found it very positive that he checked with me again before proceeding with the procedure, even though it meant a loss of income for him and the practice and, likely, a gap in his billing time.
