About

What are you proud of in your practice?

I have practiced dentistry in the Harbourfront area for over 25 years and has been involved in the community both personally and professionally. Watching individuals and families grow and return with their children has been very rewarding. Some dental problems can be quite complex and we take pride in devoting the necessary time and information to help patients decide on what is right for them. Our goal is also to plan for the long term since dental needs can change as we age.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

I enjoy providing the simplest treatment to the more complex. Cases where we restore both function and aesthetics for damaged or missing teeth, whether through crowns, bridges or implants, has been especially gratifying. But simply achieving optimum oral health and helping patients to maintain it is critical to our overall mission.

    Personalized and friendly care, right in downtown. Learned more than I thought I would from the new patient exam and especially from the enjoyable and informative dental cleaning with the hygienist. Convenient location and hours too.

    Dr. Sasan was excellent. I am a nervous wreck when I go to the dentist and he made me feel so welcome. Very friendly, warm staff! Left the dentist happy for once!

    Everything about my experience was great. Debbie was extremely accommodating in assisting me with securing my appointment. Kristan was absolutely amazing and extremely knowledgeable about dental hygiene—and her personality was A1. It was probably one of the best cleaning experiences that I’ve ever had. Dr. Sassan was really thorough with my new patient exam. I left feeling more comfortable and confident with my hygiene and my smile. I’m happy to have found an amazing dental office like this one in Toronto.

    Short wait time to see the dentist. Dr. Flewelling and his assistant were very attentive and did not keep me waiting on my own in the patient's chair. They paid attention to how I was feeling throughout the entire visit, periodically asking if I was feeling okay.

    Very pleasing experience as far as a trip the dentist goes. I have required constant mainenance on my teeth for a long time, I have visited a fair few dental practices and this has by far been the best one so far. Very pleased with my dentist.

    The doctor saw me on an emergency basis. Very kind and helpful and referred me onto a specialist along with a prescription for muscle relaxants to last the week. The doctor is retiring at the end of year, which is too bad, as I would have loved to have him as a permanent dentist.

    I was seen without a delay and both Dr. Flewelling and his assistant were lovely to deal with. So far I have had the initial check up. I knew what to expect as everything was explained clearly and my questions were answered. I strongly recommend Dr. Flewelling.

    Professional and very forward thinking. Not an old school dentist, and very efficient and lovely to deal with. After not going to the dentist for 8 years, he made it easy to get back into...

    Reviewed on March 19th, 2017  •  Verified patient
    The whole office was lovely and welcoming. My only criticism was that the website was deceiving, saying that I'd see Dr. Flewelling when he wasn't there during the weekend. In addition, for my first appointment, I didn't even get to meet the dentist. I had my whole appointment with the dental hygienist instead. Regardless, everyone was great, I just didn't expect that to happen. Therefore my rating is not for Dr. Flewelling but for his practice as a whole.

    I went to this office for a first-time cleaning and polishing. The staff were helpful and provided good information up front. No issues, will be returning for a checkup and another cleaning in 6 months.
