The doctor was very understanding with our child, knowing that she was special needs, he treated her in a manner that was very fitting and got the best possible co-operation from her. We are grandparents with custody of 2 special needs grandchildren, and it is great to have someone that makes this as easy as it could possibly be under the circumstances. The dental work that was needed to be done, was done at the NHS and was done in the most professional manner possible and went easily and with no issues. I would recommend Dr... read more
I was referred to this dentist because my child is seven. She has seven cavities. I was told that she had to receive laughingstock gas and freezing as part of the treatment. I was told he would fill a couple at a time. I took my daughter in and when he came in the room she was told to sit in the chair. (She was not crying she was not anxious ) and then without explaining anything to her or us (parents ) he placed a nasal prong over her nose and held her mouth shut ! She began to get upset and so did I !! I let it happen for ... read more
Business response:
I am sorry to hear of your recent experience. We review all treatment with families and obtain informed consent prior to any treatment. The use of the nasal hood to provide nitrous oxide is reviewed with the child as part of the "Tell, Show, Do" process for treatment. If this is poorly accepted after a few minutes to allow the nitrous oxide to become effective, we will suggest other approaches such as sedation or general anaesthesia. I am happy that you have found a dental provider that meets your needs.
My 7 years old had numbers cavities and none of her teeth was healthy.So, we tried to find good qualified pediatric dentist in many offices around GTA,no luck.I am in dental profession 23years and I know who is good when I talk to.Finally ,We went to see Dr.Yanover.He gently,carefully ,thoroughly examed my daughter's teeth and he told me about his plan.He suggested to put 5 caps over the molars,some RC treatments, and may extract 4 anteriors on both upper and lower.He can get everything done while my during daughter sleep on... read more
My daugher had to have a couple of cavities filled and 4 crowns on her front teeth. The staff was wonderful there, they really tried to make us feel comfortable. The initial consultation with Dr. Yanover was ok. During the actual procedure he was great! He explained everything to us and we felt reassured with the entire process. My daughter was very cooperative and calm during the procedure due to the medication they gave her. I did not like however that they make you pay up front for anything that is being done. Between the... read more
I a immigrant and a patient of doctor yangover disagree that he treats immigrant bad! Because i have my experience with him for many years . I believe that he is a wonderful dentist and really gets not just his immigrant patient but everyone to understand him when he is trying to communicate with his patients. By the sound of this comment him not treating immigrants right shows that you are an immigrant and you might have had "A" bad experience but i do not agree that his main focus is immigrants because that i disagree with... read more
Both my 6 year old daughter and my 3 year autistic son go here,they are wonderful with children, very patient and understanding
Dr.Yanover fixed our toddler's teeth after our previous dentist did not solve the cavities to our satisfaction. He put caps on the teeth as fillings in toddlers often come out like our son's had. This he was able to do in hospital, so our son was not awake during the procedure and is not afraid of dentists or brushing his teeth. Make sure to get your toddler a dentist that services mainly children like we did. It makes the whole process much easier, painless and informative. With plenty of experience Dr. Yanover is a great c... read more
Dr.Yanover treats immigrant parents like people without any education. My son was been reffered to Dr Yanover by other doctor because of his retirement, he needed to be done only 3-4 cavities. Dr.Yanover had found 17 cavities, he said he will be done them in once - will put him asleep and will remove all front teeth, and put crowns on other teeth. That will cost about $4000. I decided to go to other doctor and he successfuly treated my son's teeth ( 4 cavities!!!) in 3 visits .Total cost less $400. Thanks God I went to other... read more
Business response:
I have provided dental care to children of all races, religions and ethnic backgrounds as well as many on social assistance with exactly the same level of compassion and excellence. We would review all clinical observations and treatment options with each and every family and let them decide on appropriate treatment. Some will choose to accept alternate treatment elsewhere, which is their right and privilege.
I must admit. I did read all the comments on this board before my son had his appt. And I was very on the fence with having to go see Dr. Yanover, but now that I have gone and my son had to have extensive work done I can honestly say he is a great Dentist. He knows what he is doing. He respected our concerns and comforted our son. He was fast and efficient. If your reading all these comments wondering if hes the right dentist for your child. Then know that he is. I know the bad comments may turn you away but every case is di... read more
