Yaletown Laser and Cosmetic Dentistry
Vancouver, BC, Canada 
From the looks of the place I felt intimidated thinking the staff might be snobby due to the aesthetics and the location, but it’s the total opposite. The staff are also so friendly and welcoming. The doctor and his assistant made sure I was comfortable during my entire procedure. I appreciate the post procedure items given, like sterile gauze and a gel to apply for recovery. Post procedure instructions were clear and printed out for reference. There are no bad things to say about this place.
I had a very positive experience with Dr. Sahand (Sam). As a young woman committed to a holistic approach to my health, I felt respected in my perspective and was given transparent information and choice in my treatment plan.
I came to Yaletown Laser & Cosmetic Dentistry seeking an alternate perspective on a problem tooth for which I'd been recommended a root canal. I was initially drawn to the novelty of laser dentistry and hoped they could provide a less destructive solution for my tooth.
Dr. Sahand took a look at the tooth and informed me that a root canal would not be necessary, but that he would recommend a crown at some point to stabilize the tooth, which was subjected to a lot of force due to clenching and grinding. He also took a look at my bite and gave me a detailed explanation for my symptoms, and sent me home with a mouthwash to help mitigate inflammation. The mouthwash helped reduce some of the pain and sensitivity I was experiencing.
A week later, I returned for a checkup and to see how the tooth was doing and whether or not we would move ahead with the crown. After reviewing the tooth again and confirming that the root of the problem was related to clenching, he kindly listened to my preference to wait on the crown procedure while I investigated other solutions for addressing the root cause.
While I will likely move ahead with the crown procedure in the future, I felt well informed, listened to and respected by Dr. Sahand in my choice to wait on the procedure. Having had experience with dentists who disparage my desire to take a holistic approach to my health, I left feeling cared for and respected.
Yaletown Laser & Cosmetic Dentistry is truly exceptional! The entire team is attentive and professional, making each visit a positive experience.
Special thanks to Gabriela, who was meticulous and thorough in performing my procedure. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for outstanding care and results.
Very professional and informative assessment providing many options. Good vibes.

Providers
Dr. Sahand (Sam) Shokati, DMD
My educational journey from Vancouver to Sydney has allowed me to gain invaluable knowledge about scientific concepts and how they inform the principles of oral health. I graduated from University of Sydney, earning Doctor of Dental Medicine in December 2019; however, equally important was the experience I gained while completing my academic training. I worked at three hospitals in Sydney, executing treatment plans including periodontal, extraction, restorative, endodontic, fixed and removable prosthodontics, as well as maintenance work. This diversity allowed me to appreciate the day-to-day commitment of professionals, and the need to continue growing in the face of every new challenge.
