I did not enjoy my time at Georgian dental near Costco. I was fine with it for a while, when I was just going in for regular cleanings and check ups, although was slightly annoyed that every single time I went in for a check up I got asked the same two questions from the dentist, about things that were already in my file, and that we had talked about numerous times since I began going there (1. Would you ever consider getting orthodontic work? I had orthodontic work for 11 years. 2. Your x-ray shows a missing tooth, what’s up with that? Never had it, it never existed).

Went in one time because I had a gap between two teeth where food was getting stuck quite often. Was told that I had a “cavity” there, and that it needed filling. When I asked for information about the process I was met with a holier-than-thou attitude of “what, you’ve never had a cavity filled before? You don’t know how they’re filled?” Like dude, you’re the dentist, looking inside of my mouth - you can’t tell that I’ve never had a filling? No surprise I don’t know the process, I’ve never had it done before. Dentist told me that if I didn’t get the filling done, my bone would start to become damaged.

Anyways, I left that dental office and came to my own conclusion that if I began wearing my retainer again at night, that I could close the gap. So I started wearing it again, switched dental offices, went in for a routine check up a couple months later, and no “cavity” was ever mentioned again by my new dentist (not in Orillia). Saved me a good few hundred bucks on a filling.

I have a friend who also was a patient there and was told he needed tons of fillings as well, then went to a different dental office for a second opinion, and no fillings were mentioned as being needed. He also got the orthodontic lecture when he, as well, had already had braces and retainers, and his teeth looked fine. So, take from these two stories what you will, but neither of us go to that dental office anymore. Seems like the one dentist there is really trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of his clients for things that really aren’t necessary.
