It was my first time at Uplands Dental Clinic and Dr. Climenhaga and Anita were great! They were professional and explained everything I needed to know in detail about getting my wisdom tooth removal. Will definitely recommend 👍🏼👍🏼

Had an emergency issue with one of my crowns. I thought it was an abscessed tooth so I called Uplands dental and they got me in the same day on short notice which was really appreciated. Then after a quick repair to my upper plate so the problem would resolve itself and a discussion with Keith, a new care plan was decided and I was out of the clinic in no time with a solution. The staff at Uplands has always been great friendly and the service is beyond excellent. They've been there to take care of my dental needs for years now and I've never had an issue with any treatments I've received. I'd highly recommend Uplands Dental Clinic to anyone who's looking for great dental care in a relaxed and professional atmosphere.

I thought this was a good clinic, especially with the reviews. Until my appointment was an hour late, which was okay I was fine coming in late but I was NOT expecting it to mean the dentist would be extremely impatient with me for no good reason. I got to experience for the first time in my life what it feels like when the dentist does the freezing wrong and/or it simply doesn't work, you feel the grinding of the dentist drilling your teeth and nerves to do three seperate fillings, and stopping the dentist over 12 times telling them that your in severe pain and them arguing your not countless times, instead of just freezing you properly. I don't know why I didn't just walk out mid session and tell her she was being condescending and rediculous and hurting me. I just assumed cause the fillings weren't done I couldn't leave with my teeth exposed like that, or she would eventually listen. I wish I just left anyways. Freezing literally kicked in the very last few minutes of the appointment and finally I was numb and didn't feel anything. She didn't care, nor did she care the very clear red flag that I said the second she injected me that my heart was suddenly racing really bad. Clearly my body was fighting the injection like it was a threat in my mouth, or she missed the intented spot... regardless, I wouldn't know she brushed it off anyways... Stubbornness and malpractice is what I got. I've had nightmares better than this visit. I'm scared to even go back to another dentist cause it's like having your arm shot off by a shotgun and the E.R. doctor telling you "you're fine, I can tell your fine" meanwhile your arm isn't even with you and you don't even understand what is THE POINT of a doctor denying the obvious. So much for being a great dentist clinic like the first impression seemed.

From the minute I walked into the clinic I was taken care of with kindness and patience. This was my first dental visit since I moved to Canada, so I didn't know how it would be different from my US dentist. Everyone was very meticulous, thorough and didn't hesitate to answer any questions I had. I am quite pleased I found this office.

I've had alot of dental work done in the last while and had the fortune of coming to Uplands Dental. DR. Gurleen and the hygenists has been exceptional in every way. In the settings of a clean professional building and state of the art dentistry equipment have made my experience of getting my dental health on track easily tolerable. Thank-you
