About
Hi, I am Dr. Ali, and I have been practicing dentistry since the year 2000. In that time, I have been able to find a loyal following of patients who appreciate the efficient care, calm and comforting demeanor — and a decent sense of humor I have been able to provide them over the last couple of years! After completing my Dental Degree Program at the University of Toronto, I practiced as an associate dentist in several locations in the Greater Toronto Area before opening 123 Dental in 2016, where I am the Principal Dentist. I welcome patients of all ages to the clinic. I love teaching children how to take care of their teeth and about the importance of good oral hygiene, and I try makes a point to educate all my patients about the best ways to maintain optimal oral health. I have experience dealing with many complex dental procedures and have a special interest in Endodontics, Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, and smile makeover procedures.

Reviewed on April 8th, 2021 • Verified patientThere is a specified amount of procedures to be done when using Opencare to qualify for the promotion. The total was not cheap closing in on $500 for xrays, full exam and scaling + fluoride however the dental hygeniest Sarah was friendly and great! Appointment was around 1.5hrs, a full hour for scaling. She made the experience enjoyable. Dr. T made a quick appearance to say hello but Sarah was the real star!This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[108525].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful

Reviewed on March 18th, 2021 • Verified patientThe environment is very good, and the fish tank in the waiting area is a good point. Staring at those fish will relieve some anxiety. But that piano may be a display, after all, if it is played, it will cause noise and affect other people on the same floor. I also like the tooth-shaped luminous model in the office area. I stare at it for a long time every time I wait for payment. As for the subsequent treatment process, I think it is still very good. The content and tone of Dr. Ali Tavakoli's speech greatly relieved my fear of drills and needles. He is very skilful, the whole process is smooth, and there is no obvious discomfort at present. I think it would be better if they can explain to me roughly about what will happen before treatment. For example, I didn't know that I had to take anesthetics, so I didn't realize that I was injected with anesthesia until I was injected, and I was not mentally prepared. Very satisfied overall.This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[108266].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful

Reviewed on October 11th, 2020 • Verified patientGood doctor, quick and painless procedures. The receptionist wasn't that much helpful.
