I've been having bad experiences with other dental practices and it took me a few years to find a place like Ironwood Dental. here are the reasons that i would keep going back:
1. cappuccinos, juice, smoothies (smoothies?? who does that! its so awesome, and the mango ones are the bombs)
2. friendly environment, with hand paraffin and warm neck pillows
3.the receptionists know way more dental related stuff than the other practices i've been to.
4.good list of products and services that's beauty related
so ya. with the extra few bucks i get all those extra perks and comforts, totally worth it! They really take care of their clients and pamper them well! -

I have been going to Ironwood dental on and off for the last 10 years and I wouldn't consider another dentist. The service has changed from a family oriented clinic to more of a upscale clinic that offers cappuccinos, smoothies, paraffin wax and warm neck towels. I'm not sure exactly when this transition occurred, it was sometime while I was living out of province for a few years but I don't mind the changes one bit, it's almost like the clinic has grown with me and become more adult oriented as I have aged. They may charge slightly more then what is considered standard but it is minimal and for me it's worth it because I know I am in good hands.
This office had grown from about a 6 person operation to a very busy practice with several dentists and a huge crew of hygienists on staff but the nice this is there are still a few staff that have been there ever since I started going there at 13 and that provides me with a sense of comfort I would not have at your run of the mill dental practice.
Their staff are all amazing! I see different faces every time I am there but I get consistently outstanding care every time. I have anxiety and the dentist is not fun for me but I know well enough to just hold still, bear a little pain and it'll all be over with soon. If I didn't have such confidence that I was in good hands I would not be able to do this and would probably have to opt for sedation dentistry which is just a big inconvenience.
I've had cleaning to crowns here and and I can't say enough good things about Ironwood dental and their staff! -

I just checked the reimbursement from my Extended Health Benefits plan for my recent dental visit at Ironwood Dental and found that Ironwood Dental charges more than what the plan covers. For each item such as scaling, polishing, it seems that they charge a few dollars more. My husband's dentist charges exactly what the plan would cover and nothing more.
Here are examples of the breakdown. My husband and I had the exact same amount of time for each service but with different dentists.
Scaling, 30 minutes:
Ironwood Dental charges: $64.00
Eligible amount: $62.40
My husband's dentist charges: $62.40
Root Planing-15 min
Ironwood Dental charges: $34.00
Eligible amount: $31.20
My husband's dentist charges: $31.20
Polishing
Ironwood Dental charges: $35.00
Eligible amount: $33.10
My husband's dentist charges: $33.10
In all, I had to pay an extra $10 for my dental cleaning whereas my husband did not because his dentist does not charge over the coverage. Perhaps because it is a newer clinic that they need to charge extra. **They also provide a parafin hand wax and neck warmer during your dental visit, mimicking a spa perhaps.** However, I just need to get some basic dental services so I will be going elsewhere from now on.
Overall, the service is just average. They call me every now and then and try to get me to have a night guard because it would only cost me an extra $3 since the health plan covers $300 of the cost. They keep saying, "It's only $3!" It gets really annoying. Why not just $300 and why the extra $3??
For every patient, Ironwood Dental pockets a few bucks while knowing that it costs the patient extra compared to other dentists. -

I came to Ironwood Dental Centre a few years ago after experiencing a horrendous ordeal with my dentist from when I was a child. At that point, I had been with my previous dentist for over 16 years. I was skeptical to moving to a new dentist because I didn't want to experience the same thing as last time. It was already a big deal to get my files transferred and thought this may not be worth it.
But I am so glad that I did it. It was worth it. The ladies at Ironwood Dental Centre really take care of you. They communicate well and they make sure you understand and are comfortable with the procedures that you're going to be getting done. When you get your services they ask if you want a paraffin wax treatment. They really try to make the clinic feel almost spa like. The smell of the clinic is really nice, not something you expect at a dentist.
Above all the additional perks they give their patients, the bottom line is that they care. And it's something that is trickled down from Dr. Sheena Sood (the owner) to the rest of the staff. The amazing pro's that I've had the privilege to meet: Jasmine, Katie, Janice, Natalie and a few others have all been extremely nice. And it shows that they take the time to make sure who they hire fits their culture.
I live near DT Vancouver and will drive all the way to Steveston. It's that good.
