The owner has a wonderful personality that radiates a positive and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was highly attentive and considerate to my comfort. Highly recommended as there is strong and positive leadership that is shown by the care and professionalism of service. I can go to any dentist but I will come back because the people here truly enjoy what they do!

Absolutely great staff and an awesome dentist expert at implants (Dr Amir Ajar)

I have been with this clinic for five years now. The staff are amicable and helpful. The service itself excellent. They have a student discount, which makes it more affordable for students. The medical office assistant team is fantastic. They go above and beyond to make your experience at the clinic pleasant one.

Need to leave a review due to the dishonesty of the doctor that advised me. (I am not going to mention the doctor's name here)
Regret that I went to this clinic due to the convenience distance to my house back to Summer 2018. I have done check-up and many fillings, and the doctor advised me to visit an orthodontist to have braces because I need them. Note: I used to have braces (cosmetic reasons) until 2016 and kept wearing my retainers till the date this clinic’s doctor told me to stop wearing immediately.
Hence, I took the advice as he is a professional. So, I have seen different dentists

I had a dentist named Isaac for my cleaning and he was fantastic. I don't usually like going to the dentist but he made me feel comfortable and relaxed. He was very friendly and professional and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a new hygienist.

Metroplex is a wonderful dental centre. I've been a patient for more than 10 years and the people there are incredibly friendly and professional. They are always ready to help in what I need with a smile! I have had nothing but great experiences and call me crazy but I enjoy my dental appointments at Metroplex (and I have always been terrified of dentists) 🙂 Thanks Metroplex for keeping me healthy!!

Been a loyal client since 2005 after a horrific experience at a dental clinic on Main and Kind Edward in Vancouver. Always friendly staff - always premium happy service that keeps me coming back. I live far from this practice yet I make the drive over each and every time for a drama free top notch service each and every time.
Here's a little food for thought for those who read these reviews:
No place can have a perfect review score with a high number of reviews - some people have possibly not had a smooth experience but it happens everywhere time to time and it doesn't help when the trend of

Dr.Ajar has always been my dentist and he has always went above and beyond what a dentist will do for their patients. My daughter has been seeing him for over 15 years and more than 20 years at Metroplex. This location has always been very convenient and they always try to accommodate your schedule. Even during this pandemic, dr.Ajar provided my daughter his cell for all the dental emergency and was able to accommodate with Great dentist Dr.D to help my daughter Amy while he was away. Although their cost might not be the cheapest out their , it is definitely worth the cost for getting your professional

Was searching for a dental clinic for a while after not having insurance and disliking my previous dentists I decided to try Metroplex out as a regular dentist after previously having removed my wisdom teeth there since they had the option to put you to sleep.

The staff is pretty nice however I do find they seem to purposely scare you into more procedures. I had scheduled a cleaning xray and consultation and was charged almost $500 which is way more expensive than I would have thought. During the consultation the dentist was quickly poking my teeth and stated I had multiple cavities and she wanted

I got a business card from this center a couple of months ago, when I started looking for a new Dentist. I had hoped that if it was good, I would refer them to a close friend. I called the office and asked for cost estimates, and they receptionist said that the a Dentist would get back to me, since they were unsure. They never did, and I wasn't about to chase after them, when I had a list of other offices I planned to call, when I needed a new Dentist as soon as possible.

So yeah, I completely agree in the negative comments previously stated. It's rude to cancel appointments and

I should have not giving them any stars!!!!! This is for the lady at the front desk. I usually come to this dental clinic with my dad and sisters and it was GREAT! until today. I scheduled a teeth filling today at 10:10am because i need to leave also going back to California but they call me and said the dentist had an emergency and they need move my appointment at 12:30pm so i said yes. But i am hesitating because i have alot of stuff to do before i leave and i am EXPECTING TO COME AT 10:10AM for my appointment. But when i call them and talk to a lady at front she was mad told me its not acceptable

Convenient place to have dental appointments, parking is never an issue. If you do want to schedule a last minute cleaning the receptionists do a great job of placing you on a short cancellation list. My hygienists are wonderful and Dr. Deljoui is an amazing dentist that never makes me feel in any type of pain. Highly recommend this place!

Love this place. I had an incredibly painful infection in one of my roots. I called and they booked me in same-day. Everyone was super nice and helpful that I dealt with there. Dr. Ajar gave me all of my options and did his best to numb the pain. I was hoping I could tough it out and left to go home but the pain was too much. I went back to them about a half hour after I left my appointment and they took me in right away and extracted the tooth. It was a really positive experience for me. They were all very understanding, kind, and relatable. I definitely recommend. :)

Convenient and... that's about it. Would not recommend.

I started going here because it's at Metrotown and they're open late on weekdays. That part is great, but the hygienists are usually rushed and you get almost zero face time with the dentists.

They really push nightguards so I had one made - when I had problems with it their response was basically "Oh, that's weird". No offer to replace it, no interest in finding a solution. I later found out that nightguards which address my specific problem exist, but the staff at Metroplex didn't even seem aware of them

Pros:
Great Staff, Location, and Hours

Everyone from the Drs to the Hygenists, assistants and reception staff were really friendly and helpful.

I love how accommodating their hours are and the convenience of being able to pick up any thing I need from the Mall or the Superstore at the same time which really helps me save time with my busy schedule.

Highly recommended! I was recently visiting beautiful Vancouver and Burnaby when I developed tooth problems quite suddenly. Not knowing anyone I went online and read favorable reviews for Metroplex Dental Centre. First thing Monday AM I called them and they had me in the office at 11AM! 2 hours later I had a bad wisdom tooth removed and the other tooth drilled and filled. Super professional service and very painless!(I have a low pain tolerance!) They explained everything and the charges I thought were reasonable.FYI my dentist there was Sakura Iwagami. Since I was traveling it was my dream to

Firstly, the convenience of this dental facility is great. It's at the mall, there's good parking and transit is near... But that is all what is great about this place.
I went to a dentist in metroplex dental, for a routine check and he stated I had multiple cavities and I had to book a a couple of appointments with him, so he could do work on my teeth. To be honest, I haven't had a cavity in years... I had no symptoms, pain or even visible spots on my teeth. This troubled me, so I went to another dentist and asked for their opinion. She said I had no cavities but weak spots ..

Stay away from this clinic. I am pulling out (pardon the pun) my records here today as I have been ripped off by their added treatments and x-rays, which are completely unnecessary based on my new dentist. The sign in front says "they are gentle" and cater to cowards but even their hygienist is brutal and rough. Am not sure if their other staff is OK though, but I will try my luck in a clinic which isn't located inside a mall-- with a high lease that they take out on your bill just to sustain.

When I was a little kid the dentists here pulled a tooth from me without telling me, and I felt pretty violated. That was years ago and I have since forgiven any miscommunication. Today, a decade later, the folks here are still my dentists.

6 months ago I had my wisdom teeth removed (in full knowing this time!) by Dr. Ajar, who was friendly, not judgemental, and answered all my questions fairly about the process. I was worried about getting dry sockets and he reassured me and explained why that was an extremely low risk for me, and I appreciated how logically he explained it, instead of brushing

It seems every time I have had an appointment here over the past 3.5 years I get a different person for my cleaning/ check-ups.. All of them have been great but one was a little ruff for my liking. Luckily she is no longer there. They don't give you grief, which is rare. They just tell you what you are doing right, and make a few suggestions to change certain behaviours! Which is a big thing for me, I have been told time and time again that I brush to hard and don't floss as much as I should. Most dentists I have found to ruff, painful, and always ready to tell you what you are doing
