Patient Testimonials
Philip A. Novack, Periodontics in North York
Patient Review
I am so happy that I came across Dr Novack, who has now become my periodontist. He is very knowledgeable and is always attentive to his patients. He personally followed up with me post surgery to make sure I was okay and even saw me during off hours to address my concerns regarding wound healing. Now that my gum has healed fully I can't even expressed how happy I am with the results of my SFOT surgery.

Patient Review
I recently had my impacted wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Novack, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Dr. Novack is not only highly skilled but also brings decades of experience to the table, especially in dealing with complex dental issues. Before the surgery, Dr. Novack took the time to guide me through the process, explaining in detail what was best for my oral health. His thorough explanations significantly helped alleviate my anxiety about the procedure. Furthermore, post-surgery, Dr. Novack went above and beyond to make sure I am recovering well. He made himself available to address any concerns or questions I had, even on weekends. What truly sets him apart is his proactive approach—he personally called to check in on me, showcasing his genuine care for his patients. Dr. Novack and his team treated me like family throughout the entire process. Kelly, at the front desk, consistently demonstrates humility and kindness while dealing with patients, exhibiting polite and courteous behaviour at all times. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Novack for anyone seeking expert oral care.

Patient Review
I was referred to Dr. Philip Novack around three years ago by my mother, with concern about my receding gums (at the time my mother had just over a year earlier gone through a dental implant, as well as gum graft augmentation surgery). My mother was very pleased with her results and so I made an appointment. I found Dr. Novack to be very personable, professional, and thorough. He explained the status of my periodontal health, what the major concerns were, and how to improve, step by step. He answered all my questions and made himself available to answer any further questions that came up. Not only did my gums require deep cleaning, but gum graft surgery and removal of my wisdom teeth. I had previously experienced severe tooth sensitivity/pain even during regular teeth cleaning so I was very apprehensive to proceed. Dr Novack explained the procedures to be performed and how he would provide pain management. He also provided after hours care contact information. I started with deep teeth cleaning and the pain management during the procedure made it tolerable. I greatly appreciate his distractions throughout the deep teeth cleaning process, especially during injections of anesthetic into the areas being worked on. I then felt comfortable to proceed with the surgeries mentioned above. Although it was somewhat of an ordeal, I was appropriately sedated and sufficiently pain-managed. I was given all the details of the surgeries prior to proceeding, outcome, side effects and then given post-operative instructions and close follow-up, with 24/7 emergency contact available. I had basically eroded my gums by vigorous and incorrect brushing, which was from early childhood. Dr. Philip Novack recommended and supervised my change of toothbrushing technique along with the use of a new electric toothbrush with a soft-bristle toothbrush head. Before I first met Dr. Novack, I had sworn off regular dental cleanings as they were just too painful. He addressed the pain and reassured me that with appropriate pain management, the pain would be dull and short-lived. This made all the difference in the world to me. Dental cleanings became tolerable once again and I was no longer actively avoiding them. Thank you Dr. Novack for your understanding and excellent comprehensive care!
