I've been coming here for a very long time. Dr. Sabeen Tiwana took over from Dr. Porteous once he took leave to deal with health conditions. The staff are friendly and attentive. Appointments are on time. And it seems that I have a happy mouth when I leave. I also like that it isn't a large clinic - you get personalized attention.

The Filipino front desk clerk is very nice and approachable . The doctor is accommodating and comforting specially that I am scared of pain. The assistance also is so helpful.. my experience there was excellent. Would recommend them to others who are having problem with their tooth.

Dr. Sabeen arranged conscious sedation for my two wisdom tooth extractions, significantly reducing my anxiety. I healed normally and am very grateful for the excellent care!

As someone with A LOT of dental work, I have had my best experience with Dunbar Smiles. Particularly I really appreciate how much Dr. Tiwana pays attention to my comfort during various procedures and referring me to specialists quickly when needed.

Dr Tiwana and her staff provide experienced, professional, and friendly general dentistry. She is very kind, takes her time, explains everything, and works well as a team with the dental hygenist, who is gentle and caring. The appointments always seem to be on time and allow more time for each client than other dentists do, which makes things more relaxed.

Dr. Tiwana is excellent! I am a nervous patient and was anxious about my dental visit. Dr. Tiwana took the time to make me comfortable and reassure me. Throughout my cleaning she kept checking on me and I felt no pain at all. Dr. Tiwana is a fantastic dentist, I highly recommend her!
