What Our Patients Say

★★★★★

"Got all four of my wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Koniouchine and the process couldn't have gone any better. I consulted multiple professionals about my wisdom teeth and many couldn't or didn't want to perform the procedure as my bottom two teeth were very close to the nerve, but Dr. Koniouchine made sure proper X-rays and CT scans were taken. He was able to get all four out and I was in and out within an hour. I had little to no swelling and barely any pain."

— Bizav Jaffer

★★★★★

"I had my wisdom teeth extracted on Thursday. Dr. Koniouchine was thorough and didn't try to push for me to pay for things I didn't need. I had quotes from 2 other dentists for over $5k for my tooth extraction and I got it done for less than half. The extraction only took 1 hour for both my impacted wisdom teeth which I was previously told it would be a 3 hour procedure with anesthesia. 10/10 service and professionalism. 12/10 value!"

— Dylan Sliter

★★★★★

"I have been a patient of Dr. Koniouchine for over 15 years. Even after moving to Toronto, I still make the drive back to Ottawa because this clinic is the only place I trust for my dental care."

— Nams Onwuachi

★★★★★

"We live in Cornwall, which is over 1 hour away, so this tells you everything! Dr. Ashkar is worth the drive for my wife and I, to see him, and have him do all the work we need. We recommend Dr. Ashkar very highly!"

— C. Lanthier

★★★★★

"Dr. Ashkar and his assistant, Ms. Sandra, did a remarkable job. The procedure went extremely well, and I felt in very good hands throughout. From the front desk to the end of my visit, the entire team was professional, kind, and attentive. I'd recommend this centre without hesitation!"

— Oussama Z.

★★★★★

"This clinic is super kind and caring. The atmosphere is great and comforting. I had a difficult case of wisdom teeth extraction and I was able to book an appointment within a short notice with Dr. A Koniouchine. He is amazing and I had no complications during the surgery or during the recovery. I also like to add that their price for complicated case of wisdom teeth extraction is the best compare to all the places I had looked into."

— Paradis Honarvar

★★★★★

"I haven't been to a dentist in years because of dental anxiety and was looking for a place that offers sedation dentistry. Found this place and was able to get in pretty quickly. The staff was very professional and honest. I was charged exactly what I was quoted which was the best price I found anywhere. I will be referring this clinic to everyone."

— Dwayne Miles

★★★★★

"Quick, caring and painless cracked wisdom tooth removal. A+ service on my 1st visit last month."

— Ryan B.

★★★★★

"The quote for my 4 wisdom teeth removal was significantly lower than another oral surgeon's quote, so I wondered if quality would be lower. Not at all! The visit exceeded my expectations—staff very professional, funny and honest, the extractions completely pain free before and after, and the price very affordable. Quick too, for 4 uncomplicated removals I was in & out in an unhurried half hour. I wish I lived in Ottawa so I could keep coming here!"

— Tamara Brown

★★★★★

"I have been delaying for years the repair of a tooth. I finally made an appointment and I must say, the service and the entire experience was nothing short of amazing. I didn't feel any pain or discomfort during the entire time they were preparing my tooth to receive a crown. I should have not delayed this visit and I feel confident to pursue more treatments that I have neglected. 5 Star for sure!"

— Nathalie Roza

★★★★★
