I've been coming to Lakewood Dental Center for about 16 years. I find the staff very professional. Everyone is very friendly. It's just a warm, inviting atmosphere. Dr. Rose is very professional. She's an absolute perfectionist in her work and so everything she does, she does with absolute high standard. Lakewood Dental Center replaced all my mercury fillings with composite fillings. I did a ...

Right from the giving you, like what's going to ...

They've looked after us for 38, 39 years now and we've had wonderful care over those years. It's a family atmosphere. It's just the kind of thing you'd like with your healthcare team. Well, I've had issues over the years with a number of issues. I've had a number of root canals done, a couple of bridges done. He's always gone through the process with me very carefully. Really, initially I had ...

Lakewood Dental Center, it's a very friendly place. The dentists are excellent and so are the hygienists and the front desk people. Well originally my wife was a patient here. I had a different dentist and then I had an accident where I knocked out a front tooth and cracked another one in front and I couldn't get emergency service from my previous dentist. So I phoned him and he came out on a ...

Can't say I love coming to the dentist. My history is that it was actually very much phobic, but what I do ... The reason I come to the dentist is, of course, to keep my teeth in good condition, but what Dr. Doug gives for me is a sense of confidence and a comfort level that I've never had before with any dentist. I was sick and tired of having the pain. I was sick and tired of a number of other ...

You need a person who understands you, right, and that is Dr. Doug. He's funny. I feel like home now because I talk to Dr. Doug as a family member. I joke around with him. He makes me feel very comfortable with my treatment and with anything. Any questions I have, I've never seen Dr. Doug not to have any answer for that, for my treatment or my kids' treatment. My old bite was increasing and I ...

It's really all about Dr. Doug. He makes you feel at home, like you're one of the family really, and so, always professional. He makes you feel very comfortable, always asking how you're doing, how you're feeling, if you need anything, and so he really puts you at ease. I had major work done and never once felt discomfort, out of place. He's always checking in on you. Basically they just did ...

Well I had a cap before on my one front tooth, and it was getting to be 20 years old. My cap was getting loose, and it was ready to fall out on its own. The bone was getting weak or thin or whatever. Chicken wings were becoming a bit of a hassle, so it was time to get it out and they gave me all the options whether it would be a bridge or an implant, so I chose the bridge and I've been very ...

I like the fact that they're on top of it, they'll email you, or now they have text messaging telling you when your next appointment is. I got into a car wreck, and had to be resuscitated twice, and during the resuscitation they had to put a tube down my throat, and that pushed back two of my teeth, so I had to get two root canals and then crowns put on. I had like really bad anxiety for the ...

Dr. McDermid, he's always been a very nice guy, funny, and has always been very helpful. Everyone's always been very friendly. It seems like they're a really tight-knit group, and they've always been very welcoming and it's been awesome. I originally needed braces because my teeth, it was mainly my bottom teeth were pretty out of whack. My dad's got the same thing going, so we didn't want it to ...

The environment is very nice and everybody knows exactly what they're doing. You can ask them any question you want. You get the correct, good responses. They know what they're up to. I always had a fear of gagging because you're back and this and that. It was a fear of gagging, that's what it was. I don't know why. In my psyche. There's no fear here. They know what they're doing. They set you ...

I think we're just real people that understand people's needs and can relate to fears that people might have in coming in. We want to just treat them like we would want to be treated, in a professional environment. We just love our clientele. We've got a great rapport with all of our patients. About a year ago I had six veneers placed on my front teeth. I had some teeth that were a little ...

Lakewood Dental Center is very welcoming and I like to receive my dental care from here. Before having braces I had four teeth extracted, two on the top, two on the bottom. That was just to help with crowding because my mouth is pretty crowded. I mean everything went smoothly. It wasn't a super long process. Then I also had recently, just about a month ago I had my wisdom teeth extracted, three ...

I love coming here. Well, first of all, I've been coming here for over 35 years, and it's a very family-oriented dental center. Everybody here is warm and extremely accommodating is what I like to say. Extremely accommodating, and very willing to help and go that extra mile to help anybody who needs it. When I was 13 I had a really traumatic dental experience. We didn't have much money in our ...

We've been coming to see Rose for about 15 years. She was referred by a family friend and we just love her. Our whole family comes to see her. She's just been amazing. I grew up in Quebec and we didn't have a local dentist, so at a very young age I had quite a few teeth extracted. Went my whole adult life right up until my last bridge was about two weeks ago. Now I have a full compliment of teeth ...

Dr. Doug is always been very good chair side manner, I guess if you will. Gives you options as far as how far you have to go with the procedure or when you have to get it done. I had my wisdom teeth, I guess, and he's filled those over time. You don't need your wisdom teeth. He doesn't just keep filling them. He kinda indicated we'll do them once or twice or whatever and then we'll pull them, ...

I had some cosmetic work done. I think it was about eight or nine years ago. It was such a good job and I've been so happy with it that I trust them here. Before I came here, there were a lot of old fillings, a lot of silver, a lot of brown spots, and my teeth were protruding a bit. Capping the front eight, which is basically the cosmetic work I had done, that's what I came here for. I've ...

Right from day one, I always felt comfortable coming here. They make you feel so welcome, so at ease. At one point before coming here, I was always afraid to go to the dentist. I was actually quite terrified of it. Since coming here from day one, never a problem. They made you feel welcome, at ease. They answer any questions that you have, any concerns that you have. If you're nervous, they ...

My background, I'm English. So the dentist ... I came from England ... The dentists in my family were just taboo. You didn't have to enjoy going there. In fact, I had to be terrified. So, it was a strange thing for me ... Well, my family ... Because when I actually found out about Dr. Rose, it was through Davin, because she took dental assistant with my daughter. So Davin told me about Dr. Rose ...

There's a strong genetic characteristic in my family for crooked teeth on the bottom. And so consequently we knew that I had to get braces because of that. I wanted those teeth straightened, but then I also got temporal movement, so both things kind of happened at the same time. With the temporal jaw movement, it would put me right out. I would have to lay down in the bed. I couldn't cope. I ...

I started coming here approximately 20 years ago under a referral from a colleague of mine. I had moved into the neighborhood, was looking for a new dental practice. I absolutely fell in love with the clinic pretty much the first time I came in. I felt it met all the criteria that I was looking for in a dental practice. There are other things such as just the pleasantness of the clinic and ...

Way back in my days in high school I ...

Dr. Rose is a professional in every aspect. She gives me the pros and cons of all procedures and explains in detail the procedures that will take place and the results expected. Before I had implants done, basically what had happened was a bridge had gone and tooth decay on the bottom left side was, there were no teeth left on the bottom left side. We had talked about different aspects of ...

I didn't really think I needed braces and I thought that my teeth were straight and everything and then Dr. Doug when I was 15 told me that I would need them and I wasn't too happy about that, but after the two years of having them and I see the before and after pictures, I realized how much I needed them and I'm really glad that he convinced me to get them because it was definitely worth it. Dr. ...
