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!

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!

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.
