What patients say
Counted from their Google reviews up to September 2026. Something shows here once at least 5 patients mention it. Bigger clinics get more reviews, so compare with care.

The scheduling benefit is easy to underestimate. As Dr. Rob Eisen, General Dentist & Founder at Barrie Smile Centre , who has practised restorative and implant dentistry since 1985, points out: "Sedation changes the sequencing of a treatment plan, not only the comfort of it. A patient needing restorative work in four quadrants would normally attend four appointments and four separate freezings. Under intravenous sedation, the same plan is often completed in one longer visit, which shortens the period during which prepared teeth sit exposed to fracture and sensitivity, and it removes three occasions on which an anxious patient has to rebuild their nerve."

As Dr. Guorgui, Dental Surgeon & Founder at Barrie Smile Centre , notes: "Equipment sees deterioration before a clinician does. Continuous pulse oximetry, a blood pressure and heart rate cycle at set intervals and a time-oriented anesthetic record mean a falling oxygen saturation is on the screen before the patient looks any different. Every operatory where we sedate carries a positive-pressure oxygen delivery system, suction, an automated external defibrillator and reversal agents within reach of the chair, and the team drills airway management rather than simply documenting that it owns the equipment."

“Most parents are surprised by how straightforward a sedation appointment is once they understand the preparation involved. The assessment we do beforehand is extensive precisely because it allows the procedure itself to be calm and predictable. When a child is relaxed, and the team is prepared, the appointment is usually much shorter and less stressful than what the family anticipated.” — Dr. Jason Wong, General Dentist

Dr. James C.H. Ko, DDS , practising dentist at Barrie Smile Centre, puts it plainly: "The foods my patients choose in the first few days after a procedure have a real impact on how smoothly their recovery goes. I consistently see patients who follow a proper soft diet heal with less swelling and less post-operative pain than those who return to normal eating too soon. A little dietary patience goes a long way."

How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
For most patients, professional dental cleanings are recommended at least once every six months. However, patients with a history of gum disease, higher susceptibility to cavities, or other ongoing dental conditions may benefit from more frequent visits. Our Barrie dentists will recommend a schedule that is right for your individual oral health needs.
What cosmetic dentistry options do you offer in Barrie?
Barrie Smile Centre offers a full range of cosmetic treatments for patients in Barrie, including porcelain veneers, professional teeth whitening, Invisalign clear aligners, dental bonding, and complete smile makeovers. During a consultation with our dental team, we will discuss your aesthetic goals and recommend the approach best suited to your smile and budget.
What should I do in a dental emergency?
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, contact Barrie Smile Centre as soon as possible. We provide same-day emergency appointments for urgent situations, including severe tooth pain, knocked-out teeth, broken or chipped teeth, and lost fillings or crowns. Early treatment with one of our emergency dentists in Barrie is always the best way to protect your oral health and minimize the risk of further damage.
How often do I need dental X-rays?
For most adult patients with no significant dental concerns, X-rays are typically recommended once a year as part of their regular check-up. Patients with more complex dental histories may require X-rays more frequently. X-rays allow our Barrie dentists to identify issues that are not visible during a standard examination, including early-stage cavities, bone loss, and changes in the position of teeth.
Is Barrie Smile Centre accepting patients covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
Yes. Barrie Smile Centre accepts patients who are enrolled in the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). Our clinic provides preventive, restorative, and emergency dental services for eligible patients and submits claims directly through Sun Life when treatment is covered under the program.
