Adelaide Dental

My experience with this dental office was entirely positive. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a while and wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was immediately put at ease. It turns out that all I needed was a good cleaning, which was cheerfully done by a hygienist whose name I can’t recall.
I found the Dr. Shahmolky herself to be brisk, efficient and cordial. She is also witty and a good conversationalist. I am glad I found this dentist and hope to be a patient here for many years to come.

I can personally attest to the excellence of this dental office. I have personally consulted with Dr. Shahmolky about my son’s dental health. I was concerned about my son’s tooth and wanted to ensure he receive the best treatment. Dr. Shahmolky provided excellent diagnosis and a treatment plan for my child. She is very professional and truly cares for her patients. Not too many dentists like that these days.

The worst dentist I’ve ever been to. As another review said, the receptionist was extremely friendly and kind. Dr. Shahmolsky is another story. Although the emergency filling she did on my tooth was fine, it was her non-​existent professionalism that was the problem. No one wants to go to the dentist, but when you’re there, you’d expect a kind professional and not the unfriendly, condescending and cold dentist that is Dr. Shahmolsky. If you want to be talked down to, be subjected to rude comments as she works on your teeth, then yes, she is the one to go to. Otherwise, go somewhere else. There are tons of other dentists in the downtown area.

i came here because i’ve read they do tooth extraction. I dont have insurance and i wanted a dentist to perform this to avoid further consultation fee of going though another referral.
my tooth was totally broken and i already have the mindset to extract it. when i came they charged me emergency consultation, xrays and had me come back at later time to perform the extraction itself.
I didnt like the idea of having me come back since i already setup the appointment. i find it hassle coming and going back again. so whats the use of the appointment then.
the extraction was not really painless so it was just okay.

I feel like most of the reviews on Unilocal for doctors’ and dentists’ offices focus on the receptionists. Adelaide Dental has really great ones. The receptionist took a lot of time helping me with my insurance claim when the system was having some issues, which I really appreciated. They have very convenient hours for those of us who work full time — appointments until 6pm and available on weekends. I’ve only met the actual dentist once, but she seemed very knowledgable, and the hygienists I’ve had have also been very professional. They also don’t pressure you at all to book appointments more frequently than every 6 months, and they don’t pressure you to get unnecessary treatments.

Best dental experience I’ve ever had in my life was getting a root canal at Adelaide Dental! It was painless! I’m telling everyone I know! You guys are AMAZING! Thank you!

I went into this clinic, reading the positive reviews. I went 5 times, all for fillings. The first time I had a problem (one filling was uneven and ultimately caused the bottom tooth to crack due to pressure), I never realized it was due to Dr. Shahmolky’s «work» so I’ll not put this at her door. However, the last time, I came in for a front tooth filling, which she did. Right after the anesthesic wore off, I could tell that there was a problem. When she drilled, she exposed a gap between my front two tooth, allowing air to go in and causing intense sensitivity and pain. I rescheduled a follow up (as they never do any follow ups), hoping to get that fixed (even willing to pay, but didn’t imagine I would be asked to, as this was clearly caused by the last work done). I never dreamt that a) Dr. SH would keep me waiting and even send in her assistant to question me, because she didn’t want to ask me directly (for whatever reason), b) be EXTREMELY dismissive and condescending of my concerns, basically saying «I» created this problem (didn’t deign to explain how I could cause it without a drill) and said the words «this is what customers (not patients) do, they get work done and then they come back crying about problems»!! I have NEVER been treated like this by anyone who rendered me services, least of all a doctor! Even then, she wasn’t willing to fix my problem, despite the fact that I told her I was in pain. She palmed off some toothpaste and told me to get back to her in a week. I was reeling from the TOTAL lack of responsibility she took for her clearly shoddy work! And then, after two weeks, when I told her office I was interested in getting my X-​ray back, the flurry of calls started. Last one finally managed to admit that the reason to call is not to enquire about my condition, but because apparently the X-​ray (I was told this was billed for in my original appointment) has apparently «not been paid for»!! This is outrageous usury and I have declined to pay. Do NOT go to this place if you value service (or even honesty). I went for convenience, as I work downtown, but I have paid for it. Would not recommend to anyone.

I have been to this dental office for a few times and I have to say the staff is friendly and the dentist was very helpful and answered all the questions I would have. The pricing I think is reasonable.

I needed a dentist and not being originally from Toronto I trusted Unilocal reviews and decided to book an appointment here. All aspects of my experience have been very pleasant and efficient. They even take care of your insurance claims so you don’t have to worry about it. Dr. Shahmolky is very polite and professional so definitely 5 stars!

Very professional and awesome team members !!

Dr. Shahmolky is an amazing dentist. She tells it how it is. She is very detailed in explaining what she does before she does it, during the procedure and at the end. She takes her time with every procedure and makes sure that everything is done/​placed perfectly (i.e., my dental implants). I have nothing but praise for her work!

It’s been nearly two years since I’d moved to Toronto, and just about that long since I’d last had a dental checkup and cleaning. Needless to say, whatever unlucky dentist and hygienist that were going to take a crack at my pearly greens was going to have their work cut out for them. Luckily, Adelaide Dental rose to the challenge.
Sol at the front desk is very friendly and expedient. Extra points for being open on Saturdays! Both the dentist and the hygienist were pretty gentle and extremely thorough. It’s probably the most thorough dental cleaning I’ve ever had — and that’s a good thing. I left with a much pearlier set of chompers and a clean bill of health (no cavities! yay!). I like that the downtown location is extremely convenient to the subway, and the office is very clean.
The only downside is that they use the regular x-​ray film rather than digital x-​rays (the latter, in my experience, is far easier and faster to take). Other than that, my experience at Adelaide Dental has been stellar. It’s too bad I won’t be living in Toronto very much longer, otherwise they’d definitely be my regular dentist.

Dr. Shahmolky is a great dentist, whether you have a one-​time dental emergency or need a regular dentist for checkups and cleanings. She’s very approachable, always answers email and doesn’t push treatment that you don’t need.
