Had a top molar extracted here last week. Dr Gerry was amazing, professional and made me feel comfortable almost... immediately. Best experience I had at a Dentist's that I can remember. Thanks!read more
I went in for a same day emergency extraction. The pain was absolutely unbearable. J.C. (I hope I'm spelling their name... right) and Dr. Moore were so comforting and reassuring; with Dr. Moore ensuring that I was prepared for the extraction both mentally and physically, but that even if I wasn't ready to have the procedure done, they would still find a way to work to make me feel better. I have never had a dentist take that kind of time to go over different scenarios and recovery times. I chose to have the procedure done because I was already in the chair and because I was made comfortable and felt my concerns were prioritized. I'm usually pretty anxious at the dentist and the needles are never my favourite. I was braced for ALL the pain when the needles came out. Especially because the whole right side of my mouth was inflamed and sitting at an 8 on the pain scale. Dr. Moore and J.C. worked quickly and efficiently, all the while checking in on me to see if I was alright. I previously had an issue with lock-jaw and expressed my fear that it would happen again. Dr. Moore assured me that it would be ok and then managed to pull out this already broken molar out of the back of my mouth without me having to risk my jaw locking in process. I am so glad I read the reviews and comments on this page because they were 100% correct. This visit left a great first impression and I will be moving our family to The Dentists at Northgate for all future appointments :)Thanks again, J.C. and Dr. Moore!read more
I found the dentist and assistants at Nortgate very helpful. I had an x-ray and a filling done. I was also referred to... a specialist. Thank you for all of your help during this visit.read more

My son had a sharp toothache and a strong fear of the dentist. On this day we were in 2 clinics where a child of 7... years with severe inflammation and toothache was not helped due to the fact that he cried because of fear of pain. They told that tooth extraction should be carried out under sedation, but we can make such an appointment no earlier than a week later. In this clinic we were taken late in the evening and we were lucky enough to get to the doctor Arora Shawn, who calmly explained to the child what he would do, why it is impossible to leave this tooth and constantly encouraged my son. The tooth was successfully extracted and the child feels great. Thank you for your help and professionalism!read more
