After bouncing around from dentist to dentist and getting proper dental insurance through my employer, I decided it was time to pick an office my molars could call home. I quite literally googled around for a dentist close to my office and enter Atlantis Dental Centre
Cathy and the rest of the office staff were extremely helpful, polite and patient with me while getting me set up and scheduled in for an appointment. They have always treated me like gold, even when I've cancelled and rescheduled appointments 8 zillion times. Rea-Anne is the sweetest person I've ever encountered at a dental office, she always answers all my silly billing questions and provides me with estimates on a moments notice. Did I mention they also accept Airmiles on all treatments and cleanings? Score!
Atlantis is located a few minutes walk away from Yaletown-Roundhouse Skytrain station and really has a boutique feel to it. The office is a little on the smaller side, but this gives a personal, and cozy feeling - not like any office I've ever been to. The waiting area has plush seats and a wonderful Krueig coffee machine so you can brew yourself a cup while you wait.
Dr. Karkanis is such an amazing dentist. I can't believe how lucky I am to have him as my dental professional. He is friendly, professional and makes me feel comfortable because he really does seem to know his stuff. I've had some terrible fillings in the past, but his work was quick and painless. He has a great sense of humor and always steps me through what he is doing so I am consistently and entirely at ease throughout the procedure; even if it's something as simple as a filling or a quick exam.
I am scheduled in to have my wisdom teeth removed with Dr. Gill in March, and I will update then on his services as well.
I am pleased to say, I will never trust these fangs to anyone else! -

I recently moved to Vancouver from the States and was looking for a good dentist. I called around to a couple offices in the area, and asked some friends for any recommendation. I then saw the great reviews that Atlantis has received on Yelp and thought it would be worth a shot.
To be honest, I was kind of expecting a much larger "cookie-cutter" office feel. However, I was pleasantly surprised to notice that everyone (from the receptionist to the dental hygienist) were all exceptionally professional, personable, and friendly!
I've been fortunate to have had some great dentists. Many of them, I consider to be close family friends. However, I have never seen such thorough care and attention to detail as I have received in my first check-up from this office. Like seriously, what dentist takes your blood pressure, screens you for oral cancer, and takes your profile picture, on top of the routine oral examination procedures?!
What I especially enjoyed, was the transparency of the services received. They explained and outlined the necessary care and the estimated costs associated. Very cool!
So far, I have no complaints, and would not hesitate to give this office two "smiling" thumbs up!! -

I was looking for a dentist and decided why not use Yelp since I use it for a lot of things these days. I found Atlantis Dental Centre and I'm so glad that I did!
I am a bit of a chicken when it comes to dentists and I made that very clear when I made my initial appointment. From my initial contact on the the phone to make my appointment I was greeted with warmth and kindness. At first I thought it was too good to be true but when I arrived for my appointment I was welcomed to the office by everyone I had contact with. Dr. Karkanis was amazing! He was very comforting and always let me know what was going on and explained everything I needed to know. He did all of this while making me at ease the entire time. Tuyet who did my cleaning was exceptionally friendly and once again always let me know what was going on and always explained everything to me. Tuyet had a great sense of humour which also helped to put me at ease.
The office has state of the art technology, I was able to see my x-rays instantly including ones that wee taken with a panoramic camera. I had glasses to protect my eyes from the light and I was able to watch TV to help distract me from what was going on :) The office was super clean and the staff were all very gentle.
When I was all done, Rea-Anne got me set up for my next visit which included an estimate so I would know what to expect.
I have to say that this was my most enjoyable dentist visit ever! What was normally a scary thing for me ended up being an enjoyable experience. I left there feeling as though I had been going there for years. I have to say, I'm looking forward to my next visit! I never thought I would say that about going to the dentist :)
I HIGHLY recommend Atlantis Dental Centre! Oh, did I mention that you get Air Miles there too!! Crazy!! -

What can I say about Atlantis....
Dr. Karkanis is the best! I waited for quite a while for him to return to a dental centre in Vancouver since his departure from Pacific Centre Dental.
Never in my life have I had such amazing dental work.
The reception staff at Atlantis are super nice and I adore my hygienist.
Keep up the good work. -

Most people HATE the dentist...and why would you hate someone who inflicts such pain?? I on the other hand don't mind the dentist that much...I don't LOVE going but I don't HATE it either...
I was happy to be recommended to Atlantis a few years back..what the person that recommended it loved so much about this particular dentist, was the fact they had TV's for you to watch while you get worked on!! Ummm hello? BRILLIANT! What a great distraction from and uncomfortable experience...dental hygiene being preformed while I watch The View!?! The person that same up with such a concept should be Knighted..or at least given a good pat on the back! -

I have been going here since they first opened in Yaletown.
I am not someone who likes going to the dentist but have found a place that I am comfortable with. The office is always clean and well run. Appointments are on time. There is little to any waiting.
Staff are friendly and remember you from appointment to appointment.
Dr. Ezzati is very pleasant and gentle in his approach. I have no problem recommending Atlantis Dental. -

I love this place. The hygenist and assistant are so warm and welcoming that I actually like going to the dentist! The desk staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and very professional. Dr. Ezzati was thorough--offering me various options for some work I could have done and making convincing arguments for the work that was more necessary. I like his manner and communication. They have some of more sophisticated technology that not all (in fact few) dentists' offices have. My porcelain crown could be made in minutes rather than waiting for days for a lab. 5 stars fully deserved!

We have since relocated back to the US but during our four years in Vancouver, we loved our visits to Atlantis. Dr Ezzati and his staff (Tina and Heidi in particular) were always helpful, friendly and informative. I found the cleanings very thorough and Dr Ezzati always took adequate time at each visit. Very punctual start times. They were especially great with our young daughter (age 3-5 at the time) so I'd recommend this practice for young children. And yes, the TVs are a huge bonus. You could schedule your visit to coincide with your favorite show!
