I am not a fan of dentists however Orion Dental changed my thinking. The staffs are absolutely delightful, patient and caring.The secretary Marieta is fabulous, always ready, willing and able to assist with any questions and comcerns you may have.Dr Naqvi is an absolute sweetheart! Very patient compassionate and knowledgeable. I would recommend Orion Dental if anyone is looking for an all staff women dental office 🙂

The overall experience was great. Staffs they were all warm and friendly. I even felt like I could fall asleep while having my teeth cleaned and that wasn't all i did. Thanks to the team...great job...My second visit....also a wonderful experience

This place was a blessing for me. I was suffering from infected root canal done from years ago in another country. It got so bad and I was starting to feel the pressure on my face already. I called and spoke with receptionist ate Marieta who was super nice she squeezed me in within an hour. When I got there I didn’t know what to expect , I met Dr. Naqvi and I told her my concerns. She ordered xray and when she saw the result she prescribed me meds right away and explained what was going on. I just felt right then that she will get me the best treatment. And she did! After few visits and few pokes (which she Always asked me if I would like) my root canal is re treated and it’s now healed . She explained every step to me and set my expectation on the treatment.she’s very gentle , very detailed and most of all you can feel she really cares. I ended up replacing my bridge with her too and again with amazing results. They billed exactly what ate Marieta tells me ( thank you ate!) and that was very nice so I knew how to prepare because I was also working on budget on my crowns . I love Dr. Naqvi . Thank you Orion scarborough.

I’ve been going to Orion dental for treatment for about 4+ years now. They have performed a full range of dental services for me from regular cleanings to complex root canal treatment and the results have always been excellent. The people there are both professional and friendly.

Orion Dental is a great dental office! The Dr's and staff are very professional and accommodating to my needs. I was nervous and was having a anxiety attack, and they helped me feel comfortable and my anxiety went away. The office makes you feel like family from once you enter till you exit.When you walk in you are greeted with smiles not only from the staff but also the beautiful fish. The office is very clean and sanitary, and no need to question sanitization protocol. I've been to a few dental offices and Orion Dental is that hidden gem.

Dr Naqvi is an incredibly knowledgeable dentist; I unfortunately was experiencing tooth pain and her office was able to fit me in for an appointment (the same day) and she did X-rays. She filled a deep cavity on the spot. Because of how close to the nerve the cavity was, the tooth was still causing me pain. A few weeks later, they again fit me in for an examination and then did a root canal the very next day. For the root canal, Dr Naqvi listened to my concerns and busy life and did not rush into it. Dr Naqvi examined the tooth/area to confirm that performing a root canal would actually solve my pain. She is incredibly patient, empathetic, and truly cares about her patients. As someone who is not a fan of visiting any dentist, Dr Naqvi is amazing and I know I am in good hands when I’m under her care. I can not recommend her enough. I drove over 1.5 hours to get a root canal so she could be the one performing it. If you’re looking for an incredible dentist, don’t hesitate to be a patient of Dr. Naqvi!

You should be careful if you are looking for a dental clinic and have taken the reviews in your account to choose this clinic. There is a risk that these comments are false. You should ask someone about this clinic if possible, or go there and see for yourself first, that would be better.

I have nothing but love and appreciation to Dr. Naqvi and her Orion Dental Scarborough team. Ate Marrieta from the reception has been very accommodating since day 1 in my almost 1 year of going to them. Every service I had was superb from routine cleaning to my complex dental appointments. I appreciate that they provide full range of dental services, were honest enough to lay down what I need and have always respected my time. I am currently in the process of getting dental implants but have to undergo bone surgery and orthodontic treatment (and probably a few more steps before the actual implant). Nonetheless, I am at ease with Dr. Naqvi’s expertise, it really helped that she made sure I am involved all through out, listened to all my worries and is informative in a way that I can easily understand. The entire team were professional and have done a really good job with making my experience comfortable.

I came to Orion to do a consult, this was my first time coming here. I filled out the forms and waited in the waiting room for 1h. I was like okay whatever the doctor is running behind. The receptionist walks me to a room and tells me to sit so I did, and waited about 45 min. I was pretty bored because the place building doesn't have the greatest reception (Rogers), no WiFi and the TV in the room was off.The dentist comes in and asks what is the problem and I tell her. While I was explaining what I needed done she is completely ignored me.She looks at my teeth for like 30 sec and tells me exactly what I just told her. I ask her what do we need to do and she tells me she isn't a Orthodontist so I ask her then why does it say on yourwebsite that you do Orthodontist work? She said I am not an Orthodontist but I do the work, I am like okay what needs to be done?She said I needed braces and that was all, she didn't explain any further. Also, no one went over with me how much it costs etc. I waited almost 2h for a 2 min and 45 sec consult and had to pay $140. Such a waste of time and money.The receptionist seemed alright, she wasn't overly friendly but wasn't rude. This could be because she was really busy. I should also mention that the receptionist asked if I had insurance 3 times and the Doctor asked me once.

Dr. Fahimay Naqvi and staff provide excellent professional service. Their dental knowledge, skills and experience are superb. Their patient care and concern, rapport, cleanliness, equipment and punctuality are also remarkable.

23:53 13 Jul 21

Dr. Naqvi takes the time to explain everything she is about to do and what your options are. She truly cares for her patients, and doesn’t just care about how much money she is making. I would recommend her to anyone I know. We need more dentists like her. Thank you Dr. Naqvi

I cracked my tooth and they made me a new one. great team of professionals, I also needed a root canal and instead of having to go elsewhere they did it right there and then. very happy with all the work they did.

Danielle Sheppard

The receptionist is extremely friendly and nice. Their whole staff is actually. Dr. Naqvi is warm, she shows that she cares about the patient and down to earth. I brought my 9 year old daughter in who has some extra fused teeth on her fronts, she made sure that she wouldn't get made fun of for something she has no control over and was very concerned.

Orion Dental Scarborough in my Opinion and on a personal note is a Great Dentisry. The Staff are Caring and very Polite. I had a bad experience at a different Dental office and was leary about going into another Dental office until I went to Orion Dental Scarborough. They listen to how you feel and always check to make sure you are comfortable during your appointment. Thank you Dr Navi , Marieta and All of your Wonderful Staff. ☺

Orion Dental is run by the most wonderful group of Women. My dislike for the dentist was extremely high I was at the point my mouth was not in a good place the anxiety was even worse from past trips to different dentists in the city! The teams ability to be patient every step, to not judge me for feeling like a chicken to sit in the chair, to making sure I get my laughing gas and the music is turned up loud and the kindness from them all is why I continue to go and continue to work with them on a treatment plan to give me back my mouth. I am forever grateful to Orion Dental for building a great relationship with me. I tell everyone about that office everyone needs to go to them just once and you won’t look back!

Went in for a simple cleaning, but was forced to do X-rays and Doctor's consultation. When confronted about all the unnecessary charges the Dentist came out and treated me like some charity case and told me to "get out"... They're very nice to people who splurge on all recommended treatments though. But to be fair they do good work from what I understand... and the receptionist and dental assistant who did the cleaning were very polite, professional and efficient.

I have been seeing Dr Naqvi and team since early 2007. I could have chosen a dentist closer to home, but the environment and friendly atmosphere are what keeps me coming back. Staff is warming and welcoming and always caring. always putting the patient first.

After many years of having anxiety surrounding going to the dentist, I have finally found a place that manages to make me feel like I am in good hands. Anytime a procedure has been needed, it has been explained to me so well and all of my questions answered, and i always walk away feeling happy. I highly recommended this clinic.

I have seen Dr. Naqvi for a variety of dental procedures ranging from fillings, to Invisalign, Zoom whitening, and an implant. I have found Dr. Naqvi to be very knowledgeable and patient. She and her team are very friendly.

Rania

20:56 15 May 22

Went in for a cleaning & filling, my cleaning with the hygienist was fine but I didn’t have a great experience with Dr. Naqvi and her dental assistant. I appreciate being told what to expect at each step, being involved and looked after nicely. It felt like I wasn’t there and I was just a mouth that they were working on. Dr. Naqvi didn’t give me a heads up about when she’d put the needle in for freezing, she put her dental tools on my chest as she was working on my filling instead of putting them on the tray - which I disliked extremely and I’m pretty sure is not standard practice, and her assistant didn’t know any of the tools Dr. Naqvi would ask her for. Dr. Naqvi would have to stop what she’s doing to help her find the tool she needed - not sure if she’s a student or not but I found it very unprofessional for both me and Dr. Naqvi. Dr. Naqvi did a good job on the filling but I left feeling very agitated and it was an unpleasant experience overall.

The whole team is fantastic! Anytime I’ve had to change my appointment, they’ve been so kind and accommodating. And they take the time to get to know you while you’re being treated, which makes it a more personal experience. It doesn’t matter who I am dealing with, because everyone is wonderful.

Stay away from this dentist. Dr. naqvi is very incompetent and unprofessional. A girlfriend of mine had an RCT there in the past which went wrong and my friend ended up loosing two teeth. This dentist will just rip off your insurance and nothing else. Dr. Naqvi is super rude. This dentist is hardly open couple of a days a week. Don't waste your time and money here and search for a full time professional dentist. I am sure there are a lot of good dentists in Milton area. Thanks

Was referred by Opencare to this dentist, but when I got there I wanted to be sure they were not going to "upcharge" me because I was referred through Opencare, and good thing I checked- because there is a minimum amount they charge for their first visit. Which I understand, and was okay to proceed with as long as it was covered under my benefits and was not x-rays (i'm pregnant). What was unfortunate was that they were not interested in looking at what my benefit insurance (Manulife Insurance) covered and treating me according to my coverage. My benefits don't cover me for 100% of whatever a dentists wants to do and charge- nor do I even know or trust these people yet. I took it upon myself to call my Insurance provider while there, and also brought my detailed coverage- and learned that 1) they don't typically look at their clients insurance coverage before treating them.2) The dentist wanted to charge me 3 units of scaling every visit. (instead of the 2 that i'm covered for every 6 months) I don't want to have to pay an extra $70-$80 out of pocket every time I visit this dentist because they were doing things I am not covered for. Why can't they just treat me according to what i'm covered for. I have never had this problem in the best with other dentists. They simply look at what i'm covered for and pro-actively ask me for consent if they need to do something more that's not in my plan. This isn't the case with Orion Dental- 0% flexibility in this regard, the receptionist did not even try to be accommodating. If you have benefits like mine- where you are not covered 100% for everything this place might not be the place for you.

Worst experience I’ve ever had. Had to get a cavity filled .. I left in more pain than I initially had ... also had water spraying in my face the entire time and it was so so messy..Went back to share my concerns about my tooth and the dentist proceeded to drill at my teeth without freezing me and I was obviously in a ton of discomfort ... wanted to speak to the receptionist about my experience ... the doctor could tell I was upset and hovered around until I left .. so I couldn’t speak to the front desk who it my experience .I wouldn’t ever trust this place with my teeth again.

I have known and been a client of Dr. Naqvi's for over 10 years now and can't say enough great things about the care I get from Orion Dental. Not only is Doc a superb dentist, she is a kind and generous human being. I've had some challenges with my teeth from neglect when I was younger but you would never know it now, as well I've had some cosmetic upgrades in the form of veneer's done that makes me proud to smile again. I don't understand the negative review on here, I'm sure it's some disgruntled man who has a problem with a woman in a position of power or it's some bot...not sure but it doesn't matter cuz Dr. Naqvi and her amazing staff are simply the best. :-)

Liz R

18:43 29 Jul 19

Needed a receptionist on duty. The office was busy with appointments and the dental staff was covering as the receptionist was off. Hygienist was nice, but I still have some coffee stains on my teeth she missed during the cleaning. She did do well to make me feel comfortable which was valued as I have dental anxiety and she was friendly. Checkout process took very long, as Dr. Fahimay Naqvi was not acquainted with the checkout/billing process (nor should she be) might have been better to have a process in place for when the receptionist is not there. Experience was fine but not sure how I feel about coming back.

Debbie Roussos

13:07 01 Jun 19

Always a warm welcome. They are super accommodating to people with young families and time constraints. Very knowledgeable and gentle. I had a problem tooth for years and after other dentists at other offices were stumped Dr. Naqvi came in and realized what the problem was after a thorough exam. I am thoroughly impressed by their care and service and I’d recommend them 100%.

Every time i visit this place the stuff is so perfect the place is clean and nice the team is very good in the way how they treat their patients.My 12 year old 6 year old love going there because they know they are treated in the best way most likely like a family Dr Fahimya (sorry if i spelled the name incorrectly) and the team I as your patient would prefer this dental office to everyone who would like their perfection done.
