Detailed Introduction

Fortinsky Dentistry, operating under the website ComplementaryDentistry.com, is a prominent dental clinic located in North York, Toronto, Canada. The practice is spearheaded by Dr. Gary Fortinsky, who graduated from the University of Toronto in 1992 and shortly thereafter established his own dental clinic with a natural or "biologic" philosophy. Dr. Fortinsky is a strong advocate for holistic and complementary approaches to dentistry, believing that oral health is intricately linked to overall well-being. His extensive training beyond conventional dentistry includes a three-year course in homeopathy through the Canadian Academy of Homeopathy, where he received his fellowship and Certified Classical Homeopath (CCH) designation. He is also a licensed homeopath in Ontario and has completed a two-year course in craniosacral therapy. Furthermore, he has training in Oral System Biology, which addresses the relationship between the mouth, tongue, and proper breathing, and Calcium Therapy for gum disease. He is an accredited member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) and is SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam removal Technique) certified. Fortinsky Dentistry offers a comprehensive range of dental services, all delivered with a holistic perspective. These services include general dentistry such as checkups, crowns, and bridges. A core aspect of their practice is the use of white, fillings" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">Mercury-free fillings and the safe removal of existing amalgam (silver-mercury) fillings following IAOMT SMART protocols. They also incorporate homeopathic remedies to address dental complaints like toothaches, facial pain, and post-treatment discomfort, aiming to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. The clinic emphasizes addressing the root cause of dental issues, offering treatments for jaw pain (TMJ/TMD) through Oral System Biology and advanced Calcium Therapy for gum disease, which is a non-invasive, non-surgical approach to stimulate gum and bone healing. Digital X-rays are utilized for accurate diagnosis with minimal radiation exposure. The philosophy of Fortinsky Dentistry is centered on individualized patient care, recognizing that each person is unique and tailoring treatments to their specific needs, considering physical, mental, and emotional aspects of health. Dr. Fortinsky is also involved in teaching and lecturing on holistic dental thought, sharing his knowledge and passion for natural health.

Dr. Fortinsky is a great dentist with listening skills who takes into account the patient's emotional needs. Most of his staff are similar. The irony is that the only insensitive one may be the most experienced one in his clinic --Honey--. As though dealing with my own health issues and the anxiety associated with dental exams was not bad enough, she told me her very scary near-death experience.

She also told me about her decades of resume. As a dental patient you typically are in the (mouth) position unable to respond, so she went on and on during the entire cleaning procedure. Seems dental hygienist is a profession very suitable for people with strong needs to be listened to. The thing is, if one has not overcome a traumatic experience after years, one should seek and pay for psychotherapy, not use the patient as a psychotherapist and get paid at the same time.

On the surface it all looks good. I trusted him. I feel abused and taken advantage of. The very first molar he filled broke . He said it was expensive because it was guaranteed, he never fixed it. He left 3 pieces of metal that broke off in 3 different root canals.

A holistic dentist has no business doing deadly root canals. I feel thoroughly scammed and shouldn't have trusted his smiling face. He is a criminal as far as I'm concerned. He's taken 20 years off my life and caused me great suffering and I paid for it.

What to say? I mean, many seem to like this dentist. I personally got gouged. He did my teeth cleaning. A mediocre job but ok he is not a hygienist. A 35 min total. The front desk woman charged me 320$ for cleaning and some special procedure which never occurred.

Insurance declined to pay. She bullied me and the insurance and I never got any money back. So Dr. Fortinsky: great job for running a money machine and hiding behind your front desk woman.

Dr. Fortinsky is holistic-minded, hilarious, and knowledgeable--I had my first appointment with him yesterday and felt I was in good hands. I didn't get bullied into doing unnecessary X-rays or fluoride treatments, nor was I made to feel ashamed about the state of my teeth, which was the case with my previous dentist.

Office was bright and clean (great view!) and staff were very sweet and friendly. And my teeth are looking great today!
