About

Dr. Afif is the principal owner of Waterview Dental, which has been open for over 10 years, and is one of the top dental practices in terms of patient satisfaction in all of Toronto.

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

I have been a dentist and active member in the community for over 10 years. The goal of our office has always been to provide excellent, timely care. We have an excellent and caring staff, which is one of the highest rated offices in all of Toronto. We will always be here to serve your needs.

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

We specialize in comprehensive care. My policy has always been to treat the whole mouth first, to figure out what exactly needs to be done. We are conservative in our approach- but very thorough. That is why our patients always compliment us on our initial exam, as it will be the most comprehensive dental exam you will receive. From there we will discuss the best way for treatment options. Furthermore, we guarantee same day emergency service and treatment.

What are you proud of in your practice?

We have been at this beautiful location for over 10 years, and are the top rated office in terms of patient satisfaction. We take great pride in this, and our goal is always to be #1 in patient satisfaction by providing the best dental care available.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

I like dealing with patient emergencies. It is the one time when a patient comes in with pain, and together with the patient we can figure out what is bothering them. This allows us to come up with a long term solution to relieve the patient from their pain and structurally improve their oral health. To have someone come in with pain, and leave with a smile on their face is the most satisfying experience a doctor can have.

    Very knowledgable and practical approach to patient care. Dr. Afif took the time to explain all issues and options. Modern approach to dentistry made the experience much more enjoyable then my last experience in a different clinic. Highly recommended.

    My first appointment with Dr. Afif was great. The office is very clean and the staff is accommodating and kind. I had originally booked a consultation appointment but I was able to get a cleaning done right after my consultation, which was great! I had some questions regarding Invisalign and Dr. Afif was able to answer all of them for me, also providing me with information that I had not thought of before my appointment. Really happy to be a new patient at this office.

    Great office. Not a single complaint. It was my first time seeing a dentist in a couple of years and they were extremely kind and helpful. I'm actually looking forward to my next teeth cleaning in six months.

    Amazing and friendly staff, welcoming from the time I stepped through the door. Very clean, and nice office space. The dentists explain the procedure thoroughly and step by step so that the patient could understand how to better care for their teeth and know preventative measures for future reference.

    I enjoyed my check up and cleaning today. Dr. Hammad Afif was very efficient and personable. He used a large screen to show me pictures of my teeth, explain to me what they checked and what their findings meant. The teeth cleaning was incredible thorough also. Will be back.

    I recently moved to Toronto, and had previously been to a dentist before moving. The previous dentist missed several issues and had minimal preventative suggestions or information. Dr. Afif and his team were fantastic, as they caught all of the issues that were missed previously, and went very in-depth into preventative care.

    Visited Parkview Dental for an initial appointment. All staff were extremely friendly, knowledgable and helpful. The facilities were very clean, and I was impressed by the equipment and practices Dr. Afif used to give me a better look at my teeth and overall oral health. I look forward to continuing to attend Parkview for my dental needs.

    I was looking for a dentist and team to trust when moving to this city. Needless to say, trust and cleaness were two of my main concerns. I was very pleased with my first visit to this dental unit. The team and Dr Afif were very friendly and professional. Thank you for this first nice experience.

  • painless procedure
    Reviewed on October 1st, 2015  •  Verified patient
    Im not one to schedule every 6 months to go for my regular check up. From past experiences I remember it being painful and try to avoid dentists. I waited 7 years to go in for a cleaning due to fear. My husband and I started going to Dr. Hammad Afif 2 years ago and have been many times since. Turns out you just need to find a great doctor! Not all experiences are the same, if you've had a bad experience try a new doctor! Dr. Afif was absolutely painless. I did not feel a thing! I've been for 1 Root canal and 3 cavities. It's Genuine service, happy environment, the staff are very friendly. I highly highly reccommend!!

    My wife and I have been a patient with Dr. Afif for almost 10 years. Hammad did a filling for one of my tooth roughly 10 years ago when I was still in college. It was a big filling worked on several times by other dentists since it somehow always fall off. I saw Dr. Afif and after he worked on it, the filling has been there for 10 years, no problem at all~~~~! Thanks Hammad!

  • Best dental experience ever!
    Reviewed on August 15th, 2015  •  Verified patient
    I went in because I was in a lot of pain over the week. The office was open on Saturday, but very busy. Dr. Afif saw me within 25 minutes of me walking in. He squeezed me into the schedule as a new patient. He quickly diagnosed me with needing a root canal, and within 30 minutes he finished the first part of the root canal and let me go with some antibiotics and pain medication. I felt great afterwards, and am having no pain. This was the best experience I have had at a dental office.

    Reviewed on September 14th, 2015  •  Verified patient
    I went to Dr. Afif and Parkview Dental after looking for a dentist closer to work and I must say it was one of the better dental experiences I've had. My hygienist, Jen, was warm and a great conversationalist. Most importantly, she did a fantastic job with the cleaning; there was no pain at all! Overall, I'd definitely recommend her and the rest of Parkview Dental to anyone.
