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.

The clinic was great. Made my appointment very smooth. Thanks guys.

Very personable doctors. I always feel like I'm in good hands and everyone behaves very professionally and nicely. They are also very good with reminders for upcoming appointments as well as adjustments in case you aren't able to make it.

Dr. Ali and team are amazing! My first visit was easy and very pleasant.

Very attentive and helpful

Great clinic and great staff.

Dr. Ali and his staff were amazing! There was minimal wait time at his clinic, and the service was top quality. I highly recommend Dr. Ali and his clinic for all your dental needs.

- Excellent experience overall - Seamless first appointment ( easy to schedule, easy registration) - Friendly and professional staff - Clear explanation and walk-through from the doctor and hygienist

Really sweet team. Informative, and helped me understand my insurance coverage.

Good skill and fast No pain And very professional

Dr. Ali Tavakoli is a professional dentist with a great sense of humour. Staff are polite, friendly and helpful.

He was a very kind dentist with reliable skill sets and bedside manners. Definitely would recommend if anyone is looking for a dentist

The Dental Hygienist was very helpful and gave me lots of personalized recommendations on how to better take care of my teeth. X-rays and cleaning were painless. Met with the Dentist and they were very friendly.

The staff were super friendly and spent their time with me explaining the procedures specific to this dental office. My hygienist did all the x-rays, check-up and cleaning. I was also given a full understanding on proper oral hygiene that will help with my sensitive gums. Will be going back in 4 months for another cleaning.

Experience personalized dental care that's approachable, convenient, and focused on you. Dr. Tavakoli is knowledgeable, competent, and has excellent safety protocols in place for COVID-19. If I could - I would have given him more then 5 starts

The doctor seems pretty friendly which made me feel less nervous. The nurse who cleaned my tooth was soooo meticulous and professional. I like the waiting area especially the fish tank.

I had a great experience here and will be returning for future appointments. Place was organized and efficient. Friendly staff and welcome environment.

There 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!

The 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.

Always friendly and always explains everything he recommends and answers all questions. Takes the time to check what is covered by insurance and let you know if there are out of pocket expenses. Nothing but good things to say.

Friendly, clean and taking all covid measures for health and safety.

Such a comfortable experience with Dr. Ali and his team.

Dr. Ali and his team are very thorough with what they do. Got a complete check up and was informed about teeth grinding issue which no Dentist has ever told me. Kudos to Sarah the hygienist she did an amazing job.

Super friendly, painless, and quick appointment overall. Booked my follow-up right afterwards!

Good doctor, quick and painless procedures. The receptionist wasn't that much helpful. In many dental offices they usually take care of finding out information on your insurance and make sure to you know how the payment will be processed, the coverage etc. However she did not get involved in this and left it completely up to me.

Very good cleaning and very friendly staff!

Dr. Tavakoli was very friendly and welcoming. He made conversation with me about school and in general made me feel comfortable! His staff and technicians were also very kind and thorough. Recommend 10/10!

Everyone was great at 123Dental! My dental hygienist, Samina, was super helpful, friendly and efficient. She was honest and educated on my dental health a lot! Dr. Ali was also very friendly and helpful when it comes to the examination.
