What Some Of Our Patients Are Saying

Village Lane Dental has a comfortable happy family atmosphere and has always been good to me. Dr. Peter Otto has done excellent work that has kept my teeth healthy for years. Sophie my dental hygienist today did my teeth cleaning and she was very thorough kind and gave me new info about my water pick! At Village Lane Dental I have had different hygienists at times and I have found them all to be excellent. The ladies at the front desk are friendly and kind. Dr Otto and his staff's high integrity will keep me at Village Lane Dental. They even changed their air quality equipment to higher standards at the start of the pandemic. At times I have come in for advice from one of the other dentists at this clinic and I've not even been charged. The dentists at this clinic have stepped up to the plate in emergencies for my family whether for a tooth abscess or a broken tooth. And Dr. Stephen Allen has been so kind to do dental work on a long weekend for my family. I personally have gotten excellent care from all the staff and I recommend them to everyone.

I recently took my child for a dental visit and I must say it was a great experience! The staff was incredibly nice and welcoming creating a warm and friendly atmosphere from the moment we walked in. They were very patient and gentle with my child throughout the entire visit. The doctor and technician took their time to ensure that my child felt comfortable and at ease during the appointment. Overall I am extremely pleased with the level of care and professionalism displayed by the staff at Village Lane center. I highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for a positive and stress-free dental experience especially for children.

I went in with a badly broken infected wisdom tooth that needed to be removed. I have a ton of anxiety with the idea of getting my tooth pulled with only freezing. The assistant was truly amazing calming kept my mind busy talking with me. The doctor was amazing aswell. He was raw with me about what to expect but also gave me the option to pull through or opt out. He was patient with me and allowed me to take some Ativan to help my anxiety. The tooth removal was SO fast painless and I was truly surprised by how well it went. Will be going back for the others!

Best dental care and collection of kind positive and very competent group of professionals. I went into the office following two other unsuccessful appointments with other dental offices. They listened provided accurate assessments and performed the care with utmost care and managed my anxiety and worry. All areas are excellent from hygiene care to more complex procedures. This is definitely the “go-to” dental office-you as you will be well cared from their recommendations through to all procedures and treatments. Excellent!

5 stars-Corie
The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly which makes the environment very relaxed yet still very professional. I was recommended to Dr. Otto by a friend and he is honestly the friendliest and personable dentist I've ever met. I've also never seen suspended monitors above the exam chairs before which is a great idea for patients to watch their favourite program while having extended dental work done. I highly recommend this location I've only been there once for a check up and I was thoroughly pleased.

I recently had a Dental Implant done and a day later I couldn’t be more pleased. Dr. Otto has been my dentist for many years and he is the best dentist I have ever had. He is kind caring gentle and takes the time to get to know his patients. Thank you to Dr. Houghton and Kerri for putting me at ease during the procedure. Thank you to Dr. Otto Laurie and Penny for their kindness and care. All the staff at Village Lane Dental are the absolute best. I am grateful for their care.

My kids have been visiting Village Lane Dental since they were toddlers and have always been well cared for. The hygienists are friendly and gentle explaining what they’re doing and offering suggestions for the how to best care for their teeth. We most recently had Dr. Brown for the checkups and she is excellent thoroughly addressing any concerns and making the kids feel comfortable. Very glad to have them as our dentists.
