Fantastic experience: I’ve been visiting Nhung- Oral health therapist at Bupa West Lakes and would like to say how much I appreciate her professionalism. She listens attentively to any concerns you may have, I’m a nervous patient and treats you accordingly. Over the last year we have worked together on improving my gum health and I’m really happy with the results we are achieving. Thanks Nhung
Fantastic experience: Easy to find, always running on time and reliable
Fantastic experience: Top-tier dentist. From the front desk to the dental assistants to the dentists themselves—everyone is amazing. Plus, having Bupa cover almost everything makes the whole experience even better.
Fantastic experience: My appointment was for a scale and clean. I had the best hygienist I've ever had, she did a fantastic job of cleaning my teeth! Unfortunately it was her last day there at West Lakes
Fantastic experience: Phoned through as a new patient, Zoe was excellent, very helpful in getting me in promptly. Had a great consult with Dr Toumazos would recommend.
Fantastic experience: I was able to get an appointment really quick (emergency filling issue). My experience was as good as a trip to the dentist could be in terms of pain and comfort. The dentist and team did a great job checking on me. The final work however is fantastic. The dentist did more than I thought she could in the timeframe and I'm only just realising a few days later the quality of the work. I'm very happy and my confidence is increased (I had to change from my normal dentist which was a stressful experience).
Fantastic experience: Had my lower two wisdom teeth removed here very quickly and almost pain free then the recovery was very quick as I didn’t have any pain by the second day Thanks very much team!
Fantastic experience: Big shoutout to Dimitri and Emily for their care today. They both were very caring and comfortingly today as the Dentist gives me anxiety. Thank you both so much
Fantastic experience: I saw Philana the hygienist today, she was absolutely amazing. He kind caring approach won me over straight away, she took the time to understand me and make me feel comfortable, not only allow this she was gentle as she could be and even removed some staining from my front veneers which I thought was a crack and freaking out, and at the end of my consult I recieved a little care pack with all the essentials for clean, healthy teeth. Keep being you, yougot this
Fantastic experience: It's not often a person can say that they had a great experience at the dentist. Well, I did today. The Dental Hygienist who did my clean and polish was the first ever that didn't hurt me. Philanna cleaned and polished my rather grubby teeth to the point that I can't remember ever seeing them cleaner. She was charming and engaging while being able to understand my garbled replys while she worked. Thanks Philanna, I have booked again, see you in six months. Thanks team, excellent job.
Fantastic experience: Amazing Dental hygienist who was punctual, professional and efficient. She explained everything and even booked me in for my next 2 appointments. Thank you - amazing
Fantastic experience: Dr Louis was very nice and professional
Fantastic experience: Great service, professional and friendly staff. Recommended to everyone.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience at BUPA dental West lakes. I had an extremely sore toothache and I called them, spoke with Zoe and she was able to speak to the team and they were able to fit me in ASAP. Huge thanks to Zoe, Vicki and Dr Kaviya who were able to help me with my issue. We have been going here for years and the staff have always been friendly, welcoming and professional. I highly recommend this dentist practice to everyone who asks.
Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment yesterday with Rachel, one of their Oral Health Therapists, marking my first checkup since recently retiring from the defence force. I was incredibly impressed by the entire team’s professionalism from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. The receptionists were friendly, attentive, and helpful, and the OHT was thorough, gentle, and very mindful of my comfort. Their facilities were also spotless and modern. I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: All staff at Bupa Dental West Lakes is really friendly and helpful. They are kind, professional and do the best for the make the patient feel confortable. I'm addition, Dr. Louis Furlan and Dr. Dimitri Toumazos are really good. Highly recommend they.
Fantastic experience: As this is a bupa ultimate provider I get 100% back on my checkup and cleans twice a year, outside my yearly limit, fantastic, friendly and professional service. I make sure I prebook my 6monthly appointments in advance.
Fantastic experience: Cannot fault the staff and service at Bupa West Lakes. Always so accommodating for me and my family. Great family dentist.
Fantastic experience: Love the team! They go above and beyond!
Fantastic experience: I have nothing but great recommendations for this clinic. All staff were professional, kind and accomodating! Special shout out to Dianne, Lauren, Sammy and Dr Kaviya.
Fantastic experience: Immaculate clinic and excellent communication from the dentist and staff
Fantastic experience: Claudia, the incredible admin lady at the front desk, has such a bubbly and friendly attitude. Her efforts in making the service easy and efficient was next to none. The rest of the team on the desk were amazing as well, friendly warm welcome and ensuring comfort in the clinic. Highly rated practise, 10 out of 10.
Fantastic experience: Great. Nothing was felt. Not even the needle.
Fantastic experience: I experienced the usual high quality attention at Bupa Dental West Lakes at my 6 monthly checkup and clean on Thursday. The friendly staff work exceptionally well as a team. A big thanks to Lai, Dr Kavinya and Bianca
Fantastic experience: Appointment on time, friendly staff nd dentist explained work he was undertaking. Good experience.
Fantastic experience: I have nothing but great things to say about my experience at Bupa Dental West Lakes. Every aspect of my visit from Reception to Dental Staff and Doctors, payment & follow-up has been very professional & caring. Drs Lois Furlan & Dimitri Toumazis went out of their way to thoroughly explain each step of my treatment and follow up procedures. The assisting dental staff were also amazing and caring making me feel calm and relaxed. I highly recommend this dental clinic to any one wanting a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Time before, after cleaning my teeth, my teeth became sensitive for the first time. So, this time I didn’t feel like having my teeth clean. But this time an Oral Health Therapist, Nhung did a great job. So I haven’t felt any pain at all. Also, last time water was everywhere in my mouth and it made me cough and it was uncomfortable. As it was the first time for me to clean my teeth in Australia, I thought it’s Australia’s way to use lots of water in a mouth. This time it was completely different and comfortable. Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I'm not a fan of dentist but who is....these guys are very caring and are very thorough very friendly and explain everything in detail what they are doing. Can't ask better than that!
Fantastic experience: Very Happy with Results!
Positive experience: Truly professional care and treatment.
Fantastic experience: Good visit this time the doctor was great
Fantastic experience: Best Dentist I have ever been to. Dentist was 10/10 and the hygienist was super comforting. Made a horrible experience somewhat Bearable. Months of pain finally gone.
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist ( Famazos) and assistant ! I am extremely anxious at the dentist normally but this duo were so professional, friendly and efficient.
Fantastic experience: Helpful friendly professional staff, helped me in education re preventative techniques to help with further tooth decay spent time listening to me and supporting me
Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional and caring
Fantastic experience: Very professional, kind and courteous attention, and very happy with the dental work done so far, and the ongoing plan.
Fantastic experience: The dentist ‘T. Trinh’ was FANTASTIC. I saw her a year ago but she was so amazing; she didn’t criticise or judge me for the condition of my teeth. Almost 99% of dentists and oral hygienists that I’ve seen, both privately and publicly, have been quite harshly critical and openly insensitive and judgemental I genuinely believe it’s l the top 3 reasons people avoid dentist check ups. Trinh and her assistant were incredibly welcoming, approachable and far from insensitive. I’d suggest educating your oral hygienists and dentists about being less judgemental and just get on with their work and only respond with ‘help’ where it’s asked for. Unsolicited advice, although unintentional, is still very insensitive because of the harsh delivery. Anyway. Thanks Trinh, you’re fantastic and I love your work :)
Fantastic experience: Excellent, kind, very considerate of my fear of the dentist.
Fantastic experience: Was easy to get appointments and friendly staff who help all the way along. They listen too.
Fantastic experience: Dr Catherine was as usual very thorough and has referred me onto a Specialist for further treatment
Fantastic experience: Amazing service from reception through to the dental staff & back through to the payment desk. Customer service at its absolute best - delightful, easy going & patient staff.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Dimitri Toumazos is a wizard! He was able to save my badly damaged tooth that I thought was a goner for sure! The rest of the team is great as well with constant communication and encouragement whilst they’re carrying out their procedures. I’ve already recommended them to many family and friends as a great local practice!
Fantastic experience: I recently changed dental clinics and have loved everything about my experiences here. All the staff are lovely, appointments always run on time and patient care is fantastic. I have had particularly good experiences with both Monica and Dr Fang. Very glad I changed clinics!
Fantastic experience: Caring professionals.
Positive experience: Front reception staff are fantastic and very friendly... Rachel who has looked after me for couple years I won't have anyone else .. I am a Bupa member which is a bonus when you receive the account
Fantastic experience: Amazing! Dentist Louis Furlan and receptionist are so polite and competent. I strongly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Fast and efficient and not too overy priced for an emergency procedure. Calming and professional.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service from front desk .. then nurse and the dentist .. and back to the front staff thanks so much till my next appointment ..
Fantastic experience: So glad I switched from Health Partners, as Louis at Bupa picked up a heap of work they had neglected.
Fantastic experience: Staff were absolutely lovely. The place was clean and I didn't have to wait long at all!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic, all staff are just
Fantastic experience: Great service fitted me in early was in pain great Dentist, assistant and lovely friendly staff no pain now very happy. Thankyou
Positive experience: I have been using Bupa for a while now and have been very happy except I don’t seam to see the same dentist each time they have all been fine so was not worried about the new one who attended to check after the clean. Decided to finally get the crown done that was required. Told the dentist that I have very sensitive gums and he would need to give extra so he would be able to get the job done. Well 2 needles later still not fully numb so he got on with it, having to stop several times the hit by tongue several times with the drill eventually the cap was in place. Left feeling very distraught with a long drive home in pain back for round two the cap should have just flipped off so 2 more needles extra time in the chair whilst he got it out the then the crown was fitted was going to also have another filling fixed up but i said no not happening. I was even more upset than the first visit and the drive home took forever and a phone call to follow up a few days later told him I was still in pain. You had a lot of work done it will settle. Now a week on I am still in pain I don’t feel that I what to call him back but maybe I’ll try a different clinic if it doesn’t settle soon and it also took 2 weeks for my tongue to heal. The front of house staff are fantastic I will not make any comments about the nurse who works with him as she seamed nice but everything got very uneasy on both visits I don’t normally give feedback when asked

Fantastic experience: Professional - attention to detail - well equipped ! Great work
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming and helpful front of practice staff. Very thorough first appointment and suggested follow-up suggestions. Dentist and nurse very informative and helpful.
Positive experience: Quick, efficient and led to an external referral for a conclusion
Fantastic experience: Very good service and friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: Dr Fang was sensational. She explained what she was doing and had empathy for me as a fellow human. Usually my wallet hurts more than my mouth after a dentist visit but prices were fair with a reasonable gap payment. I’ve found my new dentist.
Fantastic experience: Great treatment, staff helped me get an emergency appointment and were very helpful with everything from start to finish
Negative experience: A disappointing and unhappy experience. I left feeling chastised and embarrassed. And pushed about treatment… in itself also extremely difficult to book. All appointments need to be booked months ahead and, are often cancelled by BUPA Dental the day before.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic professional service as always. Until next time.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service
Fantastic experience: Very personal service, friendly & helpful staff, always on time and remarkable work by Dr Phillip Stacy. I couldn’t be happier, and recommend everyone to see Bupa West Lakes.
Fantastic experience: Thank you for the excellent dental care. Your compassionate concern and professional expertise were appreciated. I have had the best care at Bupa Dental West Lakes in my fifty + years of going to a Dentist. Thanks to Dimitri Toumazos and Monica.
Fantastic experience: Dr Paul and all team were very respectful and caring. Bupa Dental - West Lakes - Customer service was amazing from the beginning till the end of the experience.
Fantastic experience: Amazing service with the ladies at Bupa Dental Westlakes. I felt welcomed from start to finish! Everyone was great. Thank you
Negative experience: Had a routine appointment booked in for months now. Received reminder and confirmation messages the week before only to receive a phone call the day before the appointment telling me the dentist is “away” and they need to reschedule. I’m not an unreasonable person so said that was fine. But to then tell me the next available appointment isn’t for another 5 months is ridiculous!! There must be a better way to arrange appointment times.

Fantastic experience: Reception staff were very accommodating and did their best to find soonest appointments. Both dentist and hygienest were extremely kind and explained the entire process well.
Positive experience: Never had any issues here until now. I had a 6month check up booked in since my last appointment and even though I got 2 reminders last week regarding my appointment this Wednesday I just got a phone call and was told the hygienist no longer works there any more and now I can’t be seen until early next year as they’ve booked up.
