I believe all Dr's should make a person feel welcomed so they will want to come back. Kudos to Maria for such a professional and thorough cleaning. Both were very encouraging as well as staff. Professional, friendly and quality service! June 21st 2021

They make it feel safe and know what they doing. They take time to explain what they need to do. It clam and safe place to going and work on... read more teeth.

Came here a couple years ago for an emergency and haven’t turn back since . They are welcoming and so kind and warm . I stopped taking care of myself... read more once I had kids so my mouth went down the drain and they have helped me so much with getting my mouth back in order . We still got a couple things to undergo but Dr Mohammad (I believe ) has been so reassuring and sympathic and has given me hope ! Here’s to a long journey but knowing that the staff , hygienists and doctors are there , I’m confident I will get my true smile back . Plus their prices are reasonable ! I had to question every payment because it seemed to be to low hahaha .

Very professional, pleasant and safe! Clearly have done a lot to ensure the best safety for staff and patients. Cleanings, fillings etc, I have only ever received the best care

Friendly staff, comfortable rooms and atmosphere. Knowledgeable and clear with treatment plan. Put my mind at ease.

What can I say about Eastgate Dental Centre?!?! Between the amazing front office staff, the accounting department, Dr. Gelman and my boy, JT! They are all class acts! I hear... read more a lot of complaints from friends about being ripped off or taken advantage of; not here! I’m always comfortable. I always know I’m being taken care of and I’m never worried about price. I’ve been going here since I was 17, I’m 43 now and I’ll never go anywhere else. Thank you Eastgate Dental and thank you to all the staff. Keep it up! 👍🏻 BRUSH YOUR TEETH!

I was referred to Dr. Tonogai regarding the feasibility of implants. I am a very nervous dental patient! From the first visit I was part of the team! All of... read more my questions were answered so that I could actively participate in decisions around my care. The written information was clear and reinforced what I had heard. During the procedures I received input letting me know what was happening and what to expect. I was fully aware of what was expected of me for post procedure care and why. Everyone decreased my stress level as much as they could! Dr. Tonogai also shared his knowledge with a "learner" who was shadowing him during my procedure. He exemplifies attention to both the art and science of his practice. I would recommend Dr. Tonogai and his team and will be returning for future care.

I am a returning patient and I return because of Maria, she has compassion, never makes u feel uncomfortable for anything you may feel ashamed of or embarrassed by and... read more has amazing bedside manners. Today when I called because my entire mouth was in pain (had been up all night in tears, could not touch my teeth to each other and haven't ate in 2 days), the reception was more concerned with making sure I knew my history of cancelations and company policies, even with explaning my caregiver role to my parents who are aged and very sick, and my work schedule as a PSW. However the dentist and her assistant were amazing today, showing compassion and empathy. Taking time to make sure I was heard and doing all they could to help ease my pain. I will return only to continue my care with Maria and the dentist I seen today. As for the lady who makes appointments, show some empathy towards your patients for the lives they live.

First, I always get reminders about upcoming appointments. The staff is great, they welcome you with open arms. Any procedures I have they seem to always accomodate me in the... read more best way. They have the best hours, day time, evenings and also weekends. I always look forward to my appointments because I trust my Dr. I always leave there in a good mood. That is why I love Eastgate Dental Centre.

Havent been to a dentist in 10+ years because of some terrible experiences as a kid at other dentists. Everyone that was involved with me for a new patient exam,... read more x-rays, cleaning, and fillings were very understanding and accommodating to my anxieties. Ensuring everything was going well, talking about different things, and making sure I was comfortable. My insurance also ran out so we made plans for the new year to finish up my other filings and another cleaning so I wasn't having to worry about out of pocket expenses.

Staff is very friendly, and Dr. Tonogai is very personable. Also a great dental surgeon. I would recommend Eastgate Dental Centre to everyone I know.
