I have been a patient at this clinic for about 13 - 14 years now. Shortly after I finished my chemotherapy & radiation treatment. I found the dentist & hygienist to be very understanding of my now, specific needs while rummaging through my mouth. The radiation had affected my saliva glands causing them to randomly stop producing. My dentist has since decided to but & I was assigned a new dentist that I was very nervous about ; was she going to be as understanding? As patient? As kind? As compassionate ? All of these questions stressed me out so much. The time of my 1st appt came & i walked in & the front staff had all changed (too many changes), but lovely ladies. The hygenist was a familiar face & the dentist , Dr. Lara Schmidt was amazing, She was so compassionate & empathetic to my needs & situation even now when I go in for cleaning or a job to be done she remembers everything about me even the little personal things & so do the hygenists. I am so happy that when I heard that my original dentist would be retiring soon I didnt leave. Who knows where i wouldve ended up. I would also like to add that another major part in my decision to stay was my initial dentist hygienist when I knew she was going to this new dentist. It gave me some comfort, but I am thrilled I listened to my inner voice & followed her. Thank you Dawn & Dr. Lara Schmidt. You have the devotion of my teeth for as long as I have them. If anyone is looking for a family friendly dental office & a very warm dental team I highly recommend Park & Tilford Dental. Its the best experience I've had in many years. Bless you & your business, Melanie Chappell

Before I went to Park and Tilford Dental I always hated going to the dentist. Nothing especially bad would happen, it was just never a nice place. Now that I go to Park and Tilford Dental I actually look forward to my time at the dentist. They are brilliant there !! Everyone is so friendly and thoughtful. I feel like I’m actually being taken care of by the folks there and not that they are just there to do a job. I appreciate their efficient text reminder service and follow up messages very much. Last time I was there they even gave me a free lip balm. Overall 12/10 experience, highly recommend Park and Tilford Dental :)

If I could give no stars as a rating for this dental practice I would have. This practice had recently exchanged hands and the new owners seem young and inexperienced and conduct the practice in a less than professional manner. One of the new owners took over from my regular dentist without informing me that he had retired and for some reason didn't think it important I be informed of this before I arrived for my appointment. I let her know that I wasn't happy about her handling of this but she was dismissive of my concern and gave me a half-hearted apology. The dental hygienist then proceeded cleaning my teeth and it was, without question, the most painful cleaning I had ever experienced and several times had to push her hand away to make her stop hurting me. At the end of the cleaning she simply said that I needed to floss more aggressively so that my gums wouldn't be so sensitive (as though it was MY FAULT that I experienced so much pain!) Then the dentist arrived once again and praised the hygienist for what a terrific job she had done - she went on and on about what an excellent job she had done. It was at this point that I suspected that the painful cleaning was in some way retaliation for my criticism of the lack of professionalism I had complained about at the start of my treatment. I have never experienced anything quite like this in my entire life and felt angry and humiliated by the whole fiasco. I would urge anyone thinking of joining this practice to think again... I did not return to this office and am very glad to have found a truly good dental practice a few blocks away at Mountainview Dental Centre. The difference is night and day!

DR. LAURA SCHMIDT is TRULY AMAZING.. Honestly an absolute ANGEL on earth. I’ve followed Dr. Laura Schmidt even after she moved clinics because she is genuinely the best dentist I’ve ever had. Finding a dentist you completely trust is rare, and she consistently goes above and beyond in every aspect of patient care. She is incredibly skilled, gentle, thorough, and always takes the time to explain everything clearly. What really sets her apart is how much she truly cares about her patients — you never feel rushed, and she always makes sure you’re comfortable and confident with your treatment. Her staff is just as amazing. Rhay is absolutely wonderful, kind and very helpful. Everyone is welcoming, professional, friendly, and organized, and they create such a positive and calming environment from the moment you walk in. You can tell the entire team genuinely enjoys what they do and works hard to make every experience a great one. The new clinic is beautiful, clean, modern, and runs so smoothly. Following her to a new location was an easy decision because the level of care she provides is unmatched. I honestly recommend her and her team to anyone looking for a dentist who combines expertise with real compassion and exceptional service. To Dr. Laura and the whole team. From the bottom of my heart Thank you for taking care of my family. ♥️♥️♥️

Last year I switched to this clinic, along with my family. Mainly the reason for the change was proximity to home, but our experiences have been excellent. The change in clinic coincided with a few dental complications that arose for me. I have felt well taken care of my Dr Schmidt. She's been invaluable in finding solutions to implant work that I need done, and a few other items as well. Her expertise in implants is comforting. I've had a gap in my front teeth for about ten years now due to having a crown replaced in the front tooth. I was really bothered by this as it wasn't there before the replacement, and I disliked the way it looked. I didn't see or hear of a solution other than braces, which wasn't really an option for me at this point. Dr Schmidt had the excellent idea to do a cosmetic filling to close to gap. She did the work and I could not be happier. I literally cannot tell what she's actually done by looking at it, it's as if the gap in my teeth was never there. It was even covered by my benefits. Even better. I highly recommend park & Tilford dental to anybody looking to make a change in the north shore. Dr Schmidt is truly an expert, and the staff are wonderful.

Dr. Deana Sarmast is an exceptional dentist, and I am truly so grateful to be under her care. From start to finish, she was thoughtful, patient, and incredibly skilled. She took the time to explain every step, made sure I was comfortable throughout, and approached my treatment with such care and precision. The results honestly exceeded my expectations — my teeth look amazing, genuinely better than before, and I feel so much more confident because of her work. You can tell she takes real pride in what she does, and I’m deeply grateful for her expertise and attention to detail. Vicky, Dental Assistant, is equally wonderful. She is warm, calm, and incredibly supportive, helping everything run smoothly and making the entire visit feel easy and reassuring. Her kindness and professionalism made a big difference in the overall experience. Thank you so much, Dr. Sarmast and Vicky, for your outstanding care and for giving me a smile I truly love. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a dentist they can completely trust.

Dr. Schmidt and her team at Park and Tilford go above and beyond to provide exceptional dental care. I am lucky to have had Dr. Schmidt as my dentist for 6 years now, and have felt very confident in her procedural skills, bedside manner and ethical practice. The admin team at Park and Tilford are extremely professional and easy to get a hold of. I have now seen a variety of the hygienists at this practice as well, and always felt them to be gentle and patient-centred as well.

Dr. Schmidt and her entire staff are very professional and the office is modern and very clean. I am pleased to be a new patient and client at Park and Tilford Dental.
