    So friendly and very thorough! Just had my first appointment and she really took the time to walk me through the x-rays, the condition of my teeth, as well as next steps. Everyone at the clinic was so nice.

    The entire staff at this clinic are extremely friendly, welcoming and professional. The entire appointment was easy and comfortable. Extremely clean and organized facility. I got x-rays and a cleaning done at this clinic. They sit and explain everything, every step of the way, which I liked. The overall environment was nice, they played light music in each section, which put me at ease. They check in with you as the appointment goes along, to ensure you are not feeling any discomfort. An extremely pleasant experience. I loved my results, teeth looked great. From start to finish, 5 star experience all around.

    I had a very positive experience. From checking in to checking out, it was a very streamline process even though 3 different people took care of me. They had lots of new technology that made me feel engaged and helped me understand my dental needs. I don’t usually like going to the dentist but I felt very welcomed and taken care of, even with respect to my insurance and finances. Would highly recommend By The Lake Dental.

    From the moment I walked in, till I walked out, my experience was fantastic. Everyone is very warm and enthusiastic about making sure you know how to better care for your teeth and important steps to take going forward. Dr. Patricia Khamis-Silva was extremely professional, knowledgeable and offered sound advice. I got my cleaning done by Carrie and she was absolutely incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable and offered very specific actionable advice for me to take better care of my teeth. Summer, the patient concierge is also very professional and accomodating and down to earth in energy! The office is very clean and welcoming.

    First time there and my experience was amazing! They were all so welcoming and nice. The denist has always made me very anxious but they made me feel so comfortable, that was a big part for me. Even if it was going to the dentist it was a great experience!

    I was so impressed by By The Lake Dental in Ajax. The staff was incredible, informative and communicated so well. There was no wait time, they gave me a tour of the place, explained everything thoroughly, and all of their equipment is top notch. My wife will be switching there too!

    Amazing!! This dental office is by far the most incredible one I’ve been to. Their technology, approachability, keenness and genuine concern for your oral health is matchless. I honestly told her she made me feel like I’ve never been to a dentist before with the level of care and knowledge she conveyed.

    Dr Silva was professional. She explained thoroughly the steps she and her colleagues were doing for a first time patient like me in the clinic. The what to do and not what do with my teeth and offering advice. Likewise, Andrea, was great! Before she did my x-rays and 3D scans, she toured me around the clinic which was amazing - all up to date equipment, kids area, massage chairs in the waiting area, overall cozy. Liza, on the other hand, while cleaning my teeth, showed her care with the patients. Overall a great experience.

    Very calm very kind went above and beyond making me feel comfortable from the second I walked into the door and every single person I delt with right up until I left. I have bad social anxiety and this is by far the best establishment I have ever been to my anxieties any I did have were quickly gone they explain everything very well and take the time to make sure they know what you want and need and how to make your visit thorough . It is so relieving knowing I finally have a dentist I can trust with my dental hygiene I have had so many bad experiences in the past and this place is a saving grace !

    This was my first time at the dentist and the experience was amazing. Very informative and the appointment was on time with zero delays. Dr. Patricia advised me on the best ways to take care of my cavities and was able to book an appointment quickly. Absolutely loved my hygienist Martha, was thorough and patient throughout the process of the cleaning and helped me out by informing me on the best way to take care of my gums. Great place, clean and experienced staff. Would highly recommend!
