Dr. Ryan Sinotte - Burnaby Street Dental

The team at Burnaby Street clinic are lifesavers! Another dentist butchered my tooth, and I was in excruciating pain for days. Their team saw me as an emergency visit (on a Sunday) because I was in so much pain and the tooth pieces were coming out and scratching my throat.
They were friendly, patient, and very professional! They fixed me up and had very clear directions for treatment moving forward! They will have my loyalty for dentistry business from now on! Thanks again!

I've always been assigned to the new resident dentists that have come through this office and I have always been extremely pleased with their care. The receptionists are also kind and informative.

Dr. Amarjot Dev is amazing! Very gentle, very professional did an excellent emergency repair on a broken tooth! I would highly recommend this dentist ! The assistant and receptionist were great too! Very friendly and accommodating an emergency patient ! I would give Dr. Dev and the staff a rating of 10!

Dr sinotte and all the staff are great there very understanding and patient im terrified of going to the dentist but they are great at helping me through the fear best place to go for kids and anyone who fears the dentist

very personable, experienced and caring. Takes the time to do the job right.

Staff very nice.

i love teeth

I took my 9 year-old daughter in to this dental office and the dentist wanted to give her a silver amalgam filling, which is 50% mercury. I said I didn't want mercury in her mouth. He argued with me for approximately 20 minutes about how safe it is. Then his assistant got angry with me because I wouldn't capitulate, so the dentist told her to leave the room and continued to argue with me about dental mercury being safe. I don't know anything about dentistry other than my own personal experience of losing baby teeth and getting big teeth and what I learned researching my own mercury fillings that I had removed.

I suggested pulling the tooth because she was at the age where her big teeth were coming in, and he immediately agreed and pulled the tooth. I had no idea that dentists only pull baby teeth as a last resort, because they hold space and guide big teeth into place so they don't become impacted, My daughter now has an impacted premolar that was under the baby tooth he pulled and needs expensive Orthodontist work to fix the problem, which comes with its own potential problems, from gum disease to root resorption, to the pain of tightening braces for years to come and then a lifetime of wearing a retainer,

I discovered that the #1 reason kids get impacted teeth is premature loss of a baby tooth, so dentists only pull them as a last resort. The dentist quoted a price for a spacer, but he explained nothing about it. Her big teeth were coming fast and if she needed it, why would he pull the baby tooth in the first place, considering it was a natural spacer that I now learn was guiding in the big tooth. This is common knowledge for dentists, but not for parents. He did not explain why or inform me or even reference the x-ray to let me know there was no big tooth coming in yet.

I am not a dental professional so I relied on the dentist to properly inform me so I could make the best decision and avoid hurting my daughter. The dentist should not have pulled her tooth and if a dentist pulls a baby tooth, they should inform the parent about the repercussions. Parents rely on professional dentists to properly inform them so we make the right and best decisions for our children.

I informed the dental office about what happened and was told to sue their insurance company for malpractice, which is a process that starts out at about $25K because malpractice insurance companies fight all the way to court, to dissuade others from suing. The dental office was considering taking responsibility if the insurance company did not advise them to not do so. I never heard back.

Does integrity matter anymore? Do dentists not owe a moral and ethical duty of care to the children in their community that they profit from, even if their insurance company wants to fight all claims all the way to court, regardless of fault?

Dr. Sinotte charges too much than other dentists. He is persistent to collect a pretty small money from his patient who spent a lot money over the year. I am not going back there anymore!

Segregated to the parking lot until my appointment at which time the attendant comes to escort me into the office. Not allowed to pay at the desk or ask questions was told to leave right after being the Dentist..JUST LEAVE the secretary yelled. Not in my Canada will I ever be treated this way. I will never return. They told me they collectively decided as an office to deal with us this way.
