Arbor Dental

This is the most rude, cold and brash dental office I have ever experienced. The dental assistance alone whom greets you before hand makes you want to bolt. They have no sense of patience. Or what actual numbing gel is for. They are rude aggressive, arrogant. Please save yourself the nightmare. Reschedule.

These guys rock! I don’t feel like I’m cheated when they clean my teeth and then charge me for stuff that is not really wrong with me. I’ve been going here for 3 years plus! Trust is big I remember spending thousands of $$ at my last dentist!

First let me begin by saying that I have a fear of going to the dentist… because even cleanings tend to be uncomfortable for my tender gums. I have been to many, many dentists in my day because I have found a lack of compassion in the field in general. What I have found at Arbor Dental is a lack of kindness, understanding and rather nazi-​like techniques. Some of the hygienists (I’m referring to you Shawna) are scary and abrasive but the front desk staff is always friendly. This office just like any other dentist and will use sales tactics to unnecessarily upsell you beyond your insurance covered cleaning/​exam. Be prepared to purchase an out of pocket mouth guard or professional yet temporary whitening, or worse a completely superfluous procedure like a crown. Get a 2^nd opinion. Also, I wouldn’t subject my family to a massive amount of potentially harmful routine dental Xrays twice a year-​would you? Arbor is the second worst dental office around (Willamette Dental is the worst) as far as I’m concerned. We never get to know who our dentist is there because of the high turn-​around. Vancouver is not short on dentists-​keep looking as will we. Good luck!
