I had a great experience with Dr. Tiwana. She was very gentle and professional, and explained everything clearly. As someone who isn’t very comfortable with dental visits, I really appreciated how comfortable she made me feel. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming.

I have had an excellent experience with Dunbar Smiles. The custom mouth guard they provided has made a remarkable difference in my sleep quality. Since I started using it, my snoring has decreased significantly, and I am sleeping much more comfortably and waking up feeling better rested. The entire process was professional, personalized, and seamless. I am very grateful to the team at Dunbar Smiles and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to improve their sleep and reduce snoring.

When Dr Tiwana took over the office I'd been attending for many years I certainly was nervous at first but am happy to say I very much appreciate her expertise, professionalism and friendly manner and to recommend her. At my recent visit, new to me front desk staff were very welcoming and I had the best cleaning of my teeth with the new hygienist.

​I had the best experience at Dunbar Smiles. As someone who gets really anxious going to the dentist, Dr. Tiwana and her entire team made me feel extremely comfortable and heard. I went back for my scaling and wisdom teeth extraction, and it was the best experience I've ever had (as good as an experience can be involving teeth!). The scaling went smoothly, and the doctor made sure to keep comforting me throughout. The wisdom teeth extraction surgery was not nearly as painful or scary as I thought it would be, it was a really quick procedure and the team made sure I felt as comfortable as possible. ​Plus, they send you home with goodie bags!! I would definitely recommend booking an appointment here! ​
