Services and Treatments
Georgian Dental - Barrie: Reviews
Negative experience: The staff are pleasant but information about treatment was not adequately explained and unfortunately now my benefits have been maxed out without the actual issue I came in for being treated which now I will not be able to afford to have repaired for at least a year.
I'm very sorry your benefits were maxed out before the issue you came in for was treated and that treatment options were not clearly explained. We will review your chart and billing to determine whether there was a communication or coding/insurance error. Our billing and clinical teams will explore options such as an insurance appeal, alternative coverage routes, or a payment plan so your care can proceed sooner. A member of our team will contact you directly to discuss next steps.
Fantastic experience: I visited this dental office for the first time yesterday for a consultation and had a great experience. The entire team was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. What stood out most was their honesty and transparency. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answered all of my questions, and never made me feel rushed. I really appreciated the helpful advice they provided. I’m very happy I found them and will definitely be returning and making them my regular dental office. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Vanessa. We’re thrilled you had a great first experience and appreciate your kind words about our team’s friendliness, professionalism, and transparency.

Fantastic experience: As usual, cleaning and review of specific dental conditions was both timely and thorough. I would also add, the office called me in advance of my appointment offering the opportunity to adjust my appointment time to better suit travel during the impending storm conditions.
Thank you, Robin, for your kind words. We’re glad the cleaning and review met your expectations and that our team’s call to offer scheduling adjustments was helpful during the storm. We appreciate your trust and look forward to seeing you at your next visit.

Fantastic experience: It’s a great Dental Office , The staff at the front are so friendly and pleasant and helpful . My dentist and Hygienist were excellent . I highly recommend this is Dental Office .
Thank you, Lilla — we’re thrilled you had a great experience. We appreciate your kind words about our front desk team, dentist, and hygienist. Your recommendation means a lot to our staff. We look forward to seeing you at your next visit.
Fantastic experience: Updated February 2026: Tegan is the best! I’ll continue to request this hygienist going forward. She’s gentle and efficient and kind. A true asset. August 2025: The appointment ran on time so that’s an improvement! My previous two visits started very late but I checked in with them before my appointment start time this time. The cleaning was excellent and my gums paid the price. I wish there was more suction :/ I should have declined the dental loot bag at the end…I really don’t need all that extra plastic considering I mentioned twice I use an electrical toothbrush and said I only wanted the floss and yet it was still pushed on me. The service is very good, check their timing before you go in and you will be satisfied.
Fantastic experience: I came in for a toothache I have. Dr. Sarkar found something to take immediate action on and make sure I'm copasectic. By having a hospital Dr. test for certain things before she proceeds with addressing the aching tooth. I was prescribed pain killers in the meantime; I was in excrutiating pain. She's very thorough.
Thank you for your 5-star review. We're glad Dr. Sarkar and our team could take immediate action, coordinate necessary testing, and provide pain relief while ensuring you were stable. Your recognition of her thoroughness means a lot, and we're here for any further care you may need.
Fantastic experience: This will be my second implant. Have to say that this time with Dr. Tam it is going much faster, easier and painless. Dr. Tam is extremely knowledgeable, professional and patient.
Fantastic experience: Great team. Everyone's super friendly and patient. Your appointment time starts exactly when its booked. The scariest part is coming in the driveway.
Fantastic experience: Very professional service from the minute I walked in and friendly atmosphere and very good looking staff thank you all
Fantastic experience: They’re a great practice. Super friendly staff, always super punctual with meetings, gently appointment reminders and great staff!
Fantastic experience: I had a very positive experience with the Georgian Dental Clinic in Barrie, Ontario. Since becoming a patient of Dr. A. Tan.. I never encountered any issues with the assistants or front Desk staff. Everyone is professional and provides excellent services.
Negative experience: Alexandra carriero we have same experience from this clinic my husband went for an extract next day he found they dig a hole in his gum while taking the x ray and cleaning procedures we reached out and we spoke with them they don’t want to admit this is made by them this is so bad unprofessional how we can trust a dentist if they messing damaging and ruining our teeth instead of fixing it my poor husband still having pain we too never reach out this clinic again.
Positive experience: Top notch service. Maureen was great at her work.
Thank you William! We’re happy you had a great experience, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Maureen
Fantastic experience: I chose Georgian Dental after more than 10 years of avoiding the dentist because of anxiety - everyone there has been amazing and now no anxiety at all when i have an appointment. They do a great job
Fantastic experience: first visit and the staff is honestly wonderful beautiful office and the hygienist was extensive in her explanations answer all my questions looking forward to having my smile back
Negative experience: It’s hard for me to wait while my siblings get their teeth done. I had to wait over an hour in the waiting room and the lights and noises bother me. It’s hard enough getting me to go to the dentist. My mom asked for all the kids to get done at the same time.
Fantastic experience: Great spot, friendly staff, easy parking, always on time and organized.
Positive experience: I’ve heard very mixed reviews from Georgian dental from all over but I’ve been going here for years and they made the exception for me to get some dental work done as it’s close to the holidays and money is tight all over so I’d give this a 4/5 stars. Very fast efficient and great staff thanks guys!
Fantastic experience: I had a big abscess on my gum due to a split in a crowned tooth where bacteria infected it. So it had to be removed, and an implant had to be installed to replace it. Thanks to Dr Tam, it was a completely painless experience. He was so professional and patient throughout the who procedure. Amazing!
Fantastic experience: Very helpful staffs, excellent dental services, been with them for over a decade. Highly recommend it! And highly commend their professional and exceptional services!!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about Dr. Megan’s care. I’ve never had the slightest complaint. Really grateful for her. Similarly, I completely appreciate the competence and friendliness of the front desk staff, dental assistants and dental hygienists at Georgian Dental. After several visits, I brought my entire family to the practice.
Positive experience: Excellent hygienist! Friendly, organized and efficient. Always does a great job! I appreciated that there was less fragrance in the waiting room this time than in past visits. Please continue to improve on this by avoiding fragranced air fresheners, cleaning products and sanitizer, and by improving air filtration/ventilation.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at Georgian Dental in Barrie for ten years. I have always had excellent service from them. They are professional and caring, and certainly know their stuff!
Thank you so much Gail for your wonderful review and for trusting us at Georgian Dental for the past ten years! We truly appreciate your loyalty and look forward to continuing caring for your smile for many years to come!

Fantastic experience: I had a pleasant visit and my Hygienist did a fabulous job!
Thank you so much Catherine for the kind words. We are so thrilled to hear our hygienist have done a fabulous job! We look forward to seeing you again.
Fantastic experience: I’m writing this from the heart. I will be eternally grateful to the amazing team at Georgian Dental for truly supporting my friend through her surgery and beyond. We were facing financial challenges, health issues, and so much more — and that’s when Kylie, Lisa, and Dr. Ali stepped in as our saviours. Their kindness goes far beyond dental work — they truly touch lives. thank you!
Thank you so much Niya for the thoughtful words. We are so thrilled we were able to help you and your friend, as we know dentistry and finances can be challenging. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: I recently decided to visit Georgian dental after recommendations from my son who along with my daughter both share beautiful smiles compliments of Dr. Megan!!!!! I couldn’t be more pleased with my own personal visits. From the moment I entered the clinic, the staff were welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. The clinic itself is spotless and beautifully kept in its original majestic structure. It runs very efficiently and I never wait long for my appointment. Dr.Megan is very personable and takes the time to explain every step of the procedure. She is very patient in answering all my questions, and makes sure I am comfortable throughout the visit. The care and attention to detail were exceptional. Thanks to Dr. Megan I now share the same beautiful smile as both my kids!!! I am so grateful to her and couldn’t be happier!!!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent professional, friendly service! All measures are taken for a safe visit. Very professional team that makes you feel at ease while visiting the dentist! Highly recommend! The best cleaning I have had!
Fantastic experience: My visit was very good and relaxing, she was very thorough and friendly. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Georgian Dental. The staff ard were all excellent and the hygienist Stacie was phenomenal. I would hiighly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Provided an excellent level of compassion and care. Very considerate of pain when working on a filling, and methodical and thorough when providing a full clean. With great ease of booking appointments online and quickly being seen in office, it is much easier to be able to manage my oral health. To the three ladies who worked with me today, I express utmost gratitude!
Fantastic experience: I’ve always had a great experience at this clinic. Very thorough and professional. They listen to you and help work with you to achieve your smile goals. The only drawback is that the parking can be a bit challenging when they are busy. If the lot is full, you need to park on a side street. Because the service is so great, I can work with the parking although it’s a bit of an inconvenience.
Fantastic experience: To Dr Tan and Team, My experience for my most recent cleaning session at Georgian dental was fantastic! I experienced excellent, friendly and very thorough care. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Great service as always! They were able to fit me in and address my urgent issues. Staff always kind and friendly. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Geet was absolutely amazing!! Such a kind person, and was so cautious, gentle, and overall attentive. I couldn’t recommend her more
Fantastic experience: Dr. Megan is really great in making sure I am calm when I have tooth filling yesterday. I can always asked her my concerns about my procedure. The team were so cooperative with each other they are polite and nice. Keep it up!
Fantastic experience: Really impressed with this dental practice. The hygienist was so kind and sensitive to my dental phobia. She said she was “gentle and thorough” and that was the truth. The dentist was also very kind and efficient. Worth the drive from North Bay!
Fantastic experience: Met with Dr.Meghan for an ortho consultation for my daughter loved all her advice and we get to wait a bit before doing a treatment
Fantastic experience: I recently moved from the Hamilton area and wouldn’t classify myself as the easiest patient—dentists tend to scare me. That being said, the team was both very professional and personable. I’m so glad I came across them and already feel comfortable after my first visit. A very impressive and friendly team.
Negative experience: I went in for a filling, and got an infection a few days later. I called and spoke to the receptionist about it and she spoke rudely and was not accommodating at all. She was giving attitude and said the earliest I would be able to see the doctor is next Wednesday. She was so rude and I’ll never be back again. Whatever your name is how can you have a job to take care of costumers yet be so rude? Shame on you rude lady. Maybe working in a jail would be better fitting.
Fantastic experience: Teagan was awesome, she was gentle and explained everything before starting. I would highly recommend Teegan and have booked my next appointment with her
Fantastic experience: My name is Joyce Peachey; My first appointment with you was Thursday July 17th. This is my feed back. I was very pleased with my visit. Everyone was very welcoming. Everyone explained everything that I was having done. I was anxious about my visit but the staff made me feel very comfortable and re-assuring about the care I would be receiving. I am looking forward to my next visit relaxed and confident I will received the best of care. Joyce
Fantastic experience: Georgian Dental are awesomeeeeee at what they do. Very professional and always make sure every dental need is taken care of to the teeth.
Fantastic experience: Staff at Georgian dental are great, from the minute that you step in the door. 10% discount for seniors is appreciated. My teeth cleaning went great as per usual. I drive to Barrie from Wasaga to go to Georgian Dental because I rate them 5 out of 5.
Fantastic experience: Have had a positive experience removing my amalgam fillings. They have provided a safe removal with all the precautions. Dr.Megan was very informative, answered all my questions and honestly her work felt like a ballerina in my mouth - very gentle and attentive. They have offered different prompts to ease the dental anxiety by offering music, movie and a squish ball.
Fantastic experience: I’ve lived in Barrie since 1997 and have always gone to dental offices close to home in the south end. Honestly, I was never happy with any of them. There was constant turnover with the dentists, and I never felt truly comfortable or satisfied with the care I received. I had pretty much accepted that this was just the norm in Barrie - until a friend, Brittney Sim, recommended Georgian Dental. I've been going to Georgian Dental for the past three years now, and I can confidently say I’m obsessed. The difference is night and day. The clinic itself is beautiful, modern, and welcoming, and the level of care is top-notch. Dr. Meghan is an absolute perfectionist in the best way possible. She did composite veneers on all of my upper front teeth with minimal invasiveness, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They’re flawless - natural in color, shape, and size - not overly white, just the perfect balance. I’ve already had four people ask for her name so they can book consultations of their own! Every hygienist I’ve seen has been friendly, gentle, and professional. I honestly can’t say enough good things about the entire team. Thank you to everyone at Georgian Dental for making dental care something I now genuinely look forward to.
Fantastic experience: Family atmosphere and always very professional. Dental work made comfortable!!
Fantastic experience: Had to go for emergency extraction today...my anxiety is so bad at the dentist...it's been 10 plus years since I've been able to even sit in the chair with out gas...today Dr Ali was able to give the freezing and that's usually the worst part and sets me off...I cried out of fear but barley felt the needle....it took less than 10 mins and was done. I cried in relief and was shocked.
Fantastic experience: I had a recent cleaning at Georgian Dental with hygienist Dana. She was very professional and informative and I appreciated her wisdom on issues like gum recession and keeping my teeth clean. Afterwards I had consultations with Sirlene and Ricardo about my dentures. Again, super informative and helpful. I highly recommend Georgian Dental, and especially Dana and Ricardo!
Negative experience: I can not give nostars it will not allow me to. I do not know why you keep emailing me to come back to your dentist office your dentist removed all my teeth for dentures, and after getting the dentures I was told I never should have had all my teeth removed because a majority of them where perfectly healthy, now with no teeth I have have lost any enjoyment of some food. I was basically tortured by having only a few teeth every week for almost 2 months with a mouth full of blood, not being able to eat solid food for upwards of 3 months. Then after Told by denturist who made my dentures said "why did he pull healthy teeth, we could have made you partials instead of full dentures. Since having my teeth out I can no longer eat a lot of foods I enjoyed. I talked to other patients and was told the same thing was done to them healthy teeth pulled just because each tooth he pulled he could claim with Ontario works vs fixing teeth. I am thinking of seeing legal advice because I feel the dentist who handled my case only cared about money he would make the dentist office vs my health and well being. You are supposed to trust doctors and dentists and what they do. But I feel who handled my dental issues he did not have my best option he simply said from the beginning he can not do anything with my teeth and total removal is needed and the pain I would have was nessesary because no other options are available
Fantastic experience: Been going here forever and transferred from Orillia office because I trust Dr.Tan. This visit was simple fillings with Dr. Megan (who's fantastic), and Genda. I think Glenda was a bit disorganized that day, but she was pleasant and helpful. Also asked about implants and had Dr. Ali drop in. Everyone goes out of their way to give you the best information for choices on your teeth, and although I was sore the next day from fillings, they always do their best to keep me comfortable throughout service. I used to cry before going to the dentist, but now I know what to expect and their bedside manner makes visits easy.
Fantastic experience: Dr Tan and everyone else made me feel so welcome and comfortable! I’ve always had negative experience or judgment going to a dentist and here I didn’t feel any of that. I was heard, understood and even educated about my options and I was made to feel like I mattered. What I wanted was heard and not questioned. I can not thank Georgian dental enough for the amazing amazing experience for my first time visiting. So much so, I look forward to seeing them again soon. Thank you thank you thank you!
Fantastic experience: Thanks Georgian Dental clinic for their great job, professional service and care about my teeth and also amazing customer service behaviourally and excellent communication and also Dr. Ali Tehrani and Kylie and Chelsea as team
Fantastic experience: It's a great dental office. Staff are all professional and friendly. Tegan was my hygienist for this visit and did an awesome job as usual.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience at Georgian Dental. Meredith did my cleaning and was very thorough and professional. Very welcoming environment!
Fantastic experience: One of the most amazing dental places I've ever been very kind very understanding and so comfortable what an experience I highly recommend for anybody that suffers with anxiety to go to that Dental Clinic
Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for years. Staff is always friendly. Teagan the hygienist is the best there is. A very comfortable atmosphere. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patron of Georgian Dental for many years and continue to enjoy the experience. It is a blend of technology and personal care where the team knows you and the process of booking and admin is simple to match todays busy schedules. Consider if you looking for a family dentist or an upgrade to your current care!
Fantastic experience: It can be stressful finding new services when moving to a different city but I am so happy I found Georgian Dental. Everyone from reception, hygienist and dentist are amazing. Very friendly clinic and well informed. I highly recommend Georgian Dental to anyone searching for fantastic oral health services.
Fantastic experience: Incredible staff and facility. Had made an appointment and they rushed me in for my broken wisdom tooth and even gave me an extended appointment slot. Managed to not only deal with the broken wisdom tooth but also had more then enough time to also remove the other wisdom tooth AND still had tons of time left over. Great place definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Georgian Dental Clinic. The place is clean, organized, and welcoming. The receptionist greeted me with a warm smile and was very polite. The dentist was compassionate, professional, took the time to explain every step of the procedure and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone looking for excellent dental care.
Fantastic experience: Meredith is an excellent dental hygienist! She is efficient, friendly, caring, detail oriented and communicates well.
Fantastic experience: Just spent 2 solid hrs at Georgian Dental. Got all my dental problem fixed. Extremely happy with the very professional job done for my fillings, crowning and general alignment of my teeth. Every dental job was carried out with the most up to date equipment, set up in a very clean environment, aided with a team of very experienced and discipline staffs.
Fantastic experience: Had a few fillings to get done and let me tell you this was so amazing that I fell asleep!! Very gentle, very informative, felt extremely comfortable. I was told I was going to have to get a needle which made me a little nervous but they were so good I didn’t even know when I got the needle!!! Btw I was awake for most of it. Would definitely recommend if you are out looking for a dentist! Thank you again Georgian dental!
Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Dr. Meghan and the entire team at Georgian Dental enough for the incredible care they provided during my visit. I had been struggling with intense pain and pressure in my tooth, and from the moment I walked in, Dr. Meghan made me feel at ease. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly, and I immediately felt like I was in good hands. Dr. Meghan worked diligently to fix the issue, and I’m beyond grateful for how quickly and effectively she relieved my pain. The difference in how I feel now is night and day! Beyond the excellent dental care, the whole staff at Georgian Dental is absolutely wonderful. Everyone is so friendly, professional, and genuinely caring, which makes all the difference. It’s rare to find such a compassionate and skilled team, and I’m thankful to have found them. If you're looking for a dentist who truly cares and goes above and beyond for her patients, Dr. Meghan is the one! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Needed an X-ray taken and they were able to have me come in right away. I cannot say enough about how well the staff treats you here.
Fantastic experience: I had a bad tooth ,Chelsea was great got me in to see Dr park within a couple of hours .dr park and his nurse (soory did not get her name ) could not have been better .turned out the tooth had to come out .They explained everything and took it out right then .Great team
Fantastic experience: We have always had such positive experiences at Georgian Dental. Dr Park and the entire team are fabulous. They explain everything clearly, and provide practical solutions for your dental needs.
Fantastic experience: I am very grateful to Dr. Tan and the staff. My procedure was a challenge to me but with Dr. Tan's professional expertise and thoughtfulness it was a success and a great benefit to my overall health. They are an amazing team.
Negative experience: They don’t answer calls & make fraudulent charges to insurance! If you try to inquire about the charges they submit, they screen calls for 3 hours before close and say “our computers are off” when you finally do get through. Nice service!
Negative experience: I recently visited Georgian Dental for a cleaning and cavity filling, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. After numbing my mouth, I was left waiting for over an hour before the dentist returned, which was frustrating and made the experience unnecessarily prolonged. When they finally began the filling process, they didn’t have the correct size dental matrix band. They tried to make do with an ill-fitting one, which ended up breaking twice—once falling to the back of my mouth and the other time bouncing off the floor. This not only felt unprofessional but also made me question their preparedness and attention to detail. To make matters worse, the result of the filling has left me with an uneven bite—half of my mouth now feels higher than the other side when I bite down. This has been uncomfortable and disappointing, as I now have to consider seeking additional treatment to fix this issue. Overall, my experience was unprofessional and frustrating, and I cannot recommend Georgian Dental based on this visit.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Georgian Dental, my dentist made sure I was really comfortable throughout the process and the admin staff were very friendly!
Fantastic experience: Michael McAuley My first visit was a nice experience. Very soothing environment in the office design. Staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. Although I an a very anxious patient Maureen the hygienist was calming and personable. Dr. Jodery introduced himself and showed appreciation for choosing this practice. Although I was disappointed that some work needs to be done he was very soft spoken and detailed about what needs to be done and why so that I could make a the decisions. He emulated a feeling of trust so will return for the work he recommended
Fantastic experience: Fast and efficient. I have a dreaded fear of dentists but the staff here are warm and friendly and make you feel relaxed and comfortable. Definitely returning.
Negative experience: Terrible experience with my friend. Avoid this place! It seems like they have some kind of scam going on—they don’t perform the treatment properly, leaving part of the tooth in the root, then do multiple X-rays to “locate” it. Afterward, they refer patients to a specialist, where you end up paying again. Not recommended!
Negative experience: Such a bad experience! I went there for a wisdom tooth extraction, they never told me about any complication. Dr Megan was the one who was doing the extraction. While doing the extraction, i figured something was wrong as they were constantly poking around even though the tooth was taken out. Then they told me that a tiny piece was left behind and that they need to find it out, for which they did an X-Ray, still couldn’t locate it. Then they took me for a full mouth X-Ray, told me that they passed it on to a surgeon as they need his opinion if he wanted to see me. Meanwhile they again started finding the left behind fragment, poking continued for almost 2 more hours. Post which i was told that they were still waiting for surgeon’s response, and that this left behind piece might or might not cause problems. They put stitches over the site and next day, i had to get a surgery done under general anaesthesia to get that piece removed. Not only costed me so much, but left a trauma behind. Not good, didn’t expect such an experience.
Negative experience: BEWARE! My fiance came here for a root canal, he had used Georgian Dental years ago so he trusted them. Not only did they continually call him to try and reschedule his appointment to an earlier date,(which he could not do because he had requested the time off from work for the day THEY had scheduled his root canal) but on the day, they completely botched his root canal and "BROKE A METAL FILE OFF IN THE ROOT/CANAL OF HIS TOOTH"!!! Because they cannot repair this disaster, he was referred to a specialist of which we will have to pay out-of-pocket to have the file peice removed. We will absolutely be finding a new dentist and finding our own specialist as we do not trust Georgian Dental's referral after today. Extremely disappointed in this practice and the number of RECENT negative reviews.
Fantastic experience: This is definitely the dental office to go to! Everyone is very kind and seemed happy to be working there which made for a very welcoming environment. My cleaning, x-rays, and exam all went smoothly.
Negative experience: Dr. Ali Tehrani extracted my husband wisdom teeth which resulted in a tooth abscess and specialist follow up only to find out he left parts of the bone behind after telling us post x-ray he did the two hours procedure with no complications (was told simple 30mins procedure). No accountability at all. complete hubris.
Negative experience: To say they don’t value you or your time is an understatement. I have had 3 consecutive appointments cancelled at the absolute last minute. Did not keep an appointment once in over 5 months of scheduling. Only thing worse than the cancellations is the parking. And beware the fees: during Covid they were passing on charges for PPE to the clients. I only caught it because my provider would not cover it. Shady practise. Steer clear: lots of dentists in Barrie.
Negative experience: Total Rip off. Expect unexpected charges. I went in for a Root Canal Extraction. They told it it would be 850 for extraction + bone graft. Afterwards they charged me 1500$ and I didn’t even get the bone graft. So if I did get the bone graft they would have charged me 2500$ instead of the 850$ they said it would cost.
Negative experience: I left the place 2 HOURS LATER, they didn't even put my brackets on properly and when I left it immediately broke. Then I found out 2 OTHER BRACKETS BROKE, so the "1 hour appointment" turned into a 3 hour appointment. The only good thing was the music
Negative experience: I went with my 16 years old autistic son, he had a health smile coverage. I called before booking the appointment and inquired if you accept Healthy Smile insurance card and they confirmed. It was routine tooth cleaning and xray check. I was surprised when the receptionist asked for 500$, but i paid it after she confirmed that Healthy Smile will return the amount. I called Healthy Smile and they said that I shouldn’t be paying because they have covered and paid this amount. I decided to take him to another clinic and they didn’t charge me anything, all was covered by Healthy Smile. It’s not right to rob people blind like that and I wonder who took my money.
Negative experience: I visited Georgian Dental several times in late 2023 and got some dental work done totalling around $1800. The first visit was alright. The staff are friendly enough. I chose a holistic dentist (Dr Tam) because I wanted some mercury fillings removed and fillings done. The work was done. However, I had to return because my bite was not even and that's when my experience went downhill. First, Dr Tam was over 30 minutes late. When I arrive at my appointment on time I expect the Dr to also show up on time. I sat in the dentists chair for over 30 minutes. Finally Dr Tam shows up. Either he didn't realize I had been waiting 30 minutes or just doesn't care. No apology or explanation was given why he was late. I value my time and felt disrespected that Georgian Dental was so careless in this regard. Bite was fixed. I left. After 6-8 weeks, I realized one of the fillings was giving me constant pain to the point that I couldn't sleep for multiple nights. I brought this up to the office. They told me to come back in and see another dentist to 'check things out'. I saw Dr Ali this time. Nice enough guy, seemed really exhausted. He said the pain should go away after 8 weeks. I left. The pain didn't go away. Now I was in my 9th or 10th week and still a pain after paying over $1300 to Georgian dental. It's a long commute for me to have to come in every time. Again, not very respectful of patients' time. Did I also mention the first time I made an appointment the dentist office did not mark it down? so I took a day off work only to find out they hadn't made the appointment. Emails are not returned/answered and if they are they're answered late. I've dealt with Katerina & Sirlene who were supposed to find a time slot to have me come back in but that hasn't transpired. No one has followed up with me. I had my dental work done in November of 2023. Now it's Almost April 2024. Needless to say I can't and won't recommend this dental clinic or Dr Tam to anyone including my family & friends. The clinic seems to try and fit as many appointments in as possible, and money seems to be the main that matters to this clinic. The Dentists look tired and the work is subpar. I feel for what I paid the value customer service and patient chair side manners is just not there. They're quick to take your money but that's about it. I suggest looking elsewhere and finding another dentist office that cares about its patients and provides betters service. There are others in the area. Shop around so you don't have to experience what I experienced. One of the worst experiences I've had at a dentists office in any country.
Fantastic experience: Great dental office! Such a beautiful office in an old Victorian home. Always efficient service. I have had the pleasure of meeting a couple different hygienists and each have been amazing with cleanings and with making you feel comfortable and knowledgeable about the work they are doing. Natalie at the front desk is absolutely wonderful and personable, always remembering the small details when we chat. I have had nothing but great experiences here! Highly recommend!
Negative experience: The most Traumatic experience I’ve ever had in health care setting as a patient. I Had 3 of my wisdom teeth removed today by Dr.Ali and his assistant Jenna. While I was on the chair under the influence of laughing gas feeling vulnerable and nervous, Dr.Ali and his assistant betting on how fast he can remove my wisdom teeth so his assistant can buy him a free lunch in front of me. “130 ? 115?” Which means 1 minute 30 seconds or 1 minute 15 seconds. I heard everything and dr.Ali even said to me “if you are wondering what we were talking about, we are guessing how long it is going to take me to remove your wisdom teeth” I cried and tried to hold it as much as I can. I was even thinking to just get up and leave but I can’t because of the laughing gas. How insensitive are you talking in front of your patient like that ? That was not a game for me. I was feeling so vulnerable and I trusted you to take good care of me and you made this as a game. I was scared and nervous and you were aware of that from the beginning. I will never came back again.I hope you don’t treat other patients like that because that’s just sad.
Fantastic experience: Very good dental office, staff are great! I’ve had dental work done here in the past, this was just check up and cleaning, very thorough but gentle, nice!
Fantastic experience: The best Dental care I’ve ever received. There is really nothing else to say. The Hygienists, Receptionists, and Dentists are the friendliest and most professional group of people you could ask for. Very up to date, clean location. Skilled and knowledgeable staff, who seem to love what they do and are more than happy to help you out in any way they can. Have been going for years and have never once had a single bad thing to say about any of the staff. Just a really great experience, every time.
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing dental office! Reception is really friendly and helpful, and Dr Ali is great at what he does and always makes sure to explain everything thoroughly. I always have a good experience when I come in:)
Fantastic experience: Thank you for making my experience a great one! I was a little nervous going into my appointment but the entire staff made me feel comfortable and everyone was very kind and welcoming. The entire process from start to finish was smooth and professional and I would highly recommend Georgian Dental to anyone. Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you again in 6 months!
Negative experience: I’ve been a customer here for years now, have always had great teeth just used this place for cleanings and checkups. Finally had an issue with sensitivity on my back tooth and came in to get it checked out. They said they knew what was wrong, drilled out my old filling and put in an “upgraded filling”. 1 month later it was worse then it was when I went in. The dentist put some spray on and and said that the pain should go away. Now months later my tooth is so sensitive I can’t even drink room temperature water without pain shooting from my teeth into my jaw. I called them just now and they said we can have a look at it again but it will be $175 just to sit in the chair. The original cost of the fix was over $800. This place only cares about getting your money and once they do, you’re useless to them. STAY AWAY! Don’t worry about commenting on this post with your “Oh thank you, we will look into this” You don’t care about the patient because if you did you would fix it without charging me another $800.
Fantastic experience: My dental situation was initially assessed by Dr. Adam Tan. I agreed to the removal of all my teeth . I was introduced to the two denturists, Vlad and Nada who arranged for initial dentures and then semi-permanent appliances. We were assisted to make Appropriate Financial arrangements. The surgery was easy and. The care I have received from the two denturists has been outstanding.
Fantastic experience: Today I had my first appointment for hygiene of my teeth. Danielle helped me to get my teeth clean also she cleared every doubts i had. She also gave some good suggestions. I would recommend Georgian Dental Barrie and also Danielle.
Negative experience: My experience here was unfortunately very bad. The cleaning I got was fine, however when I went to see the dentist it took over 45 minutes to finally speak with him. After waiting 45 minutes I spoke to Dr.Tehrani for all of five minutes, during which I asked to have a tooth polished as it was getting sharp. After this it took less than 5 minutes to polish the one tooth. I was charged for a cleaning ($192), the polishing ($28), as I expected. What I was not expecting was the charge of over $150 for a five minute conversation with a Dentist while a dental examination has only ever cost me $40. When I called to follow up, the receptionist could not provide me with a reason as to why I was charged $150 for a five minute examination that didn’t even include looking at x-rays or anything and never followed up with me like I requested. Lastly, I told the administrator who cashed me out that I needed an invoice receipt to claim for my insurance, and they gave me a form with nothing but the charges on my card and my name; it didn’t have my address, didn’t have the dentist information, and didn’t have the codes needed for the insurance companies. This nightmare experience has cost me a lot of time going back-and-forth between the dentist office and the insurance company. Do not recommend and will not be going back.
Fantastic experience: I went in nervous, I had to get work that took a lot of time and honestly the staff made experience fabulous. Gentle, kind and I am so happy with the results! Best dentist in Barrie.
Fantastic experience: Very professional place and great with my special needs son. Too many staff impress me from Dr. Tan, Jenna, Danielle, Katrina and more
