City Dental Care: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I went to City Dental Care few times over last 5 years. Recently visited Dr Micheal Chan again who was very good and taken time to do large filling as perfectly finished. Could not be happier so far and recommend his service.
Fantastic experience: 我怀着无比感激和喜悦的心情,对贵诊所的曹医生表示最诚挚的感谢和高度的赞扬! 在2023年10月,我因牙齿不适前往贵诊所就诊,预约医生是曹医生。经过她专业细致的检查后发现,我的上下咬合已出现问题,部分牙齿排列不齐。她耐心地为我拍照并详细讲解了我的牙齿问题,指出如果不及时进行矫正,随着年龄的增长将可能引发更为严重的口腔健康问题。曹医生的讲解不仅专业、清晰,还充满耐心与关怀,让我第一次真正意识到牙齿矫正的重要性。在她的建议下,我于2023年10月正式开始了矫正治疗。 在这一年多的治疗过程中,曹医生始终以极高的专业水准和认真负责的态度对待每一次复诊。她操作细致,解答耐心,让我在整个治疗过程中感到安心与信任。 如今,矫正治疗已于2025年5月23日顺利完成。我的上下咬合已恢复正常,牙齿整齐美观,咀嚼功能也大大提升,效果之好超出我的预期! 衷心感谢曹医生的及时诊断与高超医术,是她让我拥有了健康美丽的笑容。也感谢City Dental Care提供了这样一个专业、温暖的诊疗环境。 我将毫不犹豫地向亲朋好友推荐贵诊所,并特别推荐曹医生!再次向她表示由衷的敬意与感谢!

Fantastic experience: Having visited a few times , very happy with results..
Negative experience: I took an appointment at 10:30 and the doctor was 20 mins late. The receptionist did not even inform and I had to take permission from my manager at work to attend this appointment. Very unprofessional behaviour about the timings of the appointment.
Hi Kiran, thanks for your feedback. Sorry for the delay of your appointment today. Sometimes dentists will need longer time for their treatment due to unexpected emergency situations. A delay may happen in order to keep our quality service instead of rushing to catch the time. Hope you can understand. We usually try to contact our customers to come a little bit later if there are any delayed treatments. In your case, the delay happened just prior to your appointment which made you wait in our waiting room longer than expected. We are really sorry for that. Your appointment has been rescheduled to tomorrow Saturday. And we will keep your appointment on time.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Michael Chan and Dr. Annie Cao are the BEST dentists I have ever seen. Michael is always gentle, listens to my issues with teeth. Annie is always attentive with high level of skills. She can detect my teeth problem immediately and takes good care. I have been with them for nearly a decade. Thumbs up!
Negative experience: My experience at this clinic wasn’t good. The dentist was personable but I didn’t have confidence that she did a good thing at the time. I got a large filling due to some tooth pain, and she told me I may need a crown. They gave me a dental plan telling me I needed 9 fillings, wisdom extraction, potential crown, etc equating to thousands of dollars. The filling I had wasn’t good - it was rough around the edges of my tooth where it clearly should have been sanded. I got a second opinion today (4 months later as the pain has returned already) and they said I don’t need any of this work and have resolved the issue. It seems like this clinic just wants to take your money and doesn’t actually care about your treatment!
Fantastic experience: She is a best doctor in the world
Positive experience: Always a pleasure visiting Dr Tracy for my dental cleaning. Her attention to detail, and gentle movements are important factors done well.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, they were able to fix my broken veneers restoring them fully Dr Mike is Amazing
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much Dr. Michael Xu. You are the best! Words cannot express how thankful I am for you and your service. Here is a back story. I visited City Dental Care Melbourne today hoping that my front tooth will be fixed as yesterday I went to a different dental clinic in MC and the filling was very horrible to the point that the dentist didn’t even charge me for the procedure. (First of all the filling was discoloured and not of the same shade of my teeth - I wasn’t briefed that this would be the case when he was giving me my options and it was unpolished and badly done as it was not flat but instead it was kind of bumpy and lastly the size of the filling was oversized as compared to the spot of concern covering 1/3 of my tooth). The dentist who administered to me said that the only option we can go for to fix the tooth was to have porcelain which costs $1,500 to fix the discoloration as he already placed the filling twice. A horror story. It was a good decision to visit City Dental Care Melbourne because the dentists here really are the best. The know what they do. They don’t overcharge you, they explain the procedure to you first before they do any treatment whereas some clinics, doctors do not orient you “fully or maybe not at all” and you will just be surprise of the outcome. Shout out to their friendly receptionist Aeyu. Thank you team for your wonderful and exceptional service overall! Thank you again Dr. Michael Xu. You fixed the problem so easily. You did it amazingly. You are so professional and very kind! You are the best!! I will never go to another dentist again.
Negative experience: Horrible experience, waited 25 min and then walked out as no one was giving me any information on the delay. Worst service ever
Hi Simone, our clinic hasn't opened for a while and we can't find your name in our system. Are you sure you left your review for the right clinic?
Negative experience: I had a really short and odd experience. Needed a clean and didn't feel like I got what I paid for. A 10 minute clean.
Negative experience: I got 6 crowns back in February threw Dr.Micheal at the Bourke street clinic. I've had the same tooth fall off 3 times one of the times I went back and saw a different denist to have it put back on as she was putting it back on the one next to it fell off. The final time it fall off they suggested I get a new crown overall as the lab didn't make the crown suitable for my bite, when they were doing the molding for the lab as they pulled it off another 3 crowns fell off then was decided another 2 will need to be replaced after waiting the 2 weeks for the lab I went back to get the permanent crowns put back on one of the new teeth didn't fit so had to come back again in another 2 weeks time in those 2 weeks the other ones that was put on I was getting quite bad sensitivity which they put a glue behind the tooth to cover the exposed nerve and again the same tooth didn't fit so was told to come back again in 2 weeks. I've been experiencing cold & painful sensations under a tooth that had a root canel years ago and the natural tooth is dead I felt each time I've expressed my concerns they don't get answered correctly. I went back yesterday and got the final crown as they went threw anothe lab for this tooth apparently put on but now have a space between 2 teeth as the gum has risen, also super sensitive and feel it's abit wobbly & the other tooth next to it I'm getting pain again will be ringing to yet again make another appointment it's been 9 months and I'm still having problem after problem. I've got emails to prove what's happened although I've been happy there's been no cost involved getting it all fixed up but I'm not happy and feel it's something that needs to go further as it shouldn't be happening. Don't recommend just because it's cheaper I've made that mistake.
Thanks for your review. We have passed your feed back to our dentist and here is the reply regarding your treatment:
Sorry to hear about your experience. Please understand the reasons for placing crowns:
Protecting a weak tooth (possibly from decay) from breaking or to keep the weak tooth together if parts of it are cracked.
Restoring a broken tooth or a severely worn down tooth.
Covering and supporting a tooth with a large filling and not much tooth remaining.
Covering misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
Covering a tooth that’s been treated with a root canal.
Crowns should last for years but the tooth that had crown coming off a few times was worn down and the shape of the tooth was very tapering so not helping. Furthermore, the crown was too long and it was interfering with the bite. Therefore, we had to reprep the tooth to make it more retentive and the crown shape not as long and remake the crown for you at no extra cost. When we do crowns, we have to drill the tooth down and the tooth may get sensitive but it should settle afterwards. The root canal treated tooth was not done at our clinic. When a root canal is properly done, you should not have any feeling of cold sensitivity(as the nerve has been removed) and painful sensation. If you do, then it is an issue with the root canal not the crown. The crown is merely to cover the top part and protect it from breaking. We did explain to you a few times that placing a crown on a root canal treated tooth should not cause cold sensitivity and painful sensation. If the root canal is infected then you will get pain on touching the tooth and lump on the gum near the apex of the tooth and the tooth might feel loose or wobbly. However, you do not show any sign of that. We might have to take x-ray to check the root canal next visit.
Negative experience: I went in due to occasional tooth pain, had 2 xrays and was told I needed an immediate root canal. I resisted and was told I'd have "severe pain" within "24-48 hours" and that a root canal was my only option. It would cost round $3K. Two or three weeks later I got a second different opinion and later a (deep) filling (around $450) and 6+ months on, I haven't had any pain in that tooth plus, I haven't needed a root canal! The thing that really gets to me is the pain the dentist put me in - I still remember it. He skipped using air on the tooth and went straight to some type of ice, (liquid nitrogen) against my tooth and my body shuttered so hard from the pain that I almost came out of the dental chair. It upsets me to think about it. It felt like a sales pitch but one where I didn't need the root canal. I was understandably disappointed by this experience and put me out of pocket $350+. I also remember having to wait around 40 minutes after arriving on time - despite having an appointment set. UPDATE (and response to cental clinic): it was $1,500 (approx) for a root canal and $1,600 (approx) for the "crown". Figures and details are from memory - I don't have the price sheet and specifics in front of me. Yes, it was your dentist - I remember the entrance and have paperwork from this practice.
Hi Cameron, Thanks for your review. Could you contact us to let us know your name or contact number so we can review your file? It does not look like it was our dentist's quote $3K for a root canal treatment because the most difficult root canal treatment will not be charged over $1500 in our clinic. Thanks for your update to correct the root canal price in your review. However, we don't have facility of making ice or liquid nitrogen in our clinic and we never use it to exam our customer teeth.
Negative experience: I went here ages ago on a promotion for a crown. Temporary crown bonded to neighbouring teeth and would not remove without a drill. This mutilated my adjacent teeth which now require veneers to restore to their original shape. Crown didn't fit and the dentist used the drill to get the approximate shape which was moulded by the dental laboratory. Even I know these things are definitely below standard of care of a legitimate dentist.
Fantastic experience: Dr Ivan was great. Highly recommended
Negative experience: Absolutely appalling service. I arrived at the 200 Spencer St clinic 15 minutes before my appointment and there were no other patients in the clinic. I emailed earlier asking for a quote on two fillings (I provided the teeth numbers and x-rays taken the day before). This was not provided however as I arrived, I was then quoted $170 per tooth. That was all fine. Having waited 20 minutes (not including the 15 minutes i waited before my scheduled appointment), I then asked how much longer the wait would be as I am on a lunch break. The dentist (Dr Ivan) who was eating lunch, was visibly annoyed by me asking this, walked into the room, and said "the fillings will be $250 each tooth as they are close to the nerve." i said "pardon" and he said "goodbye". I was shocked as the teeth both have root canals and crowns on them. Extremely disappointed as I have previously had a pleasant experience at the 600 bourke clinic. After that encounter, I wont be back..
Hi Melissa,
Thank you for your feedback in relation to our service.
We were sorry to hear you had to wait for more than 15 minutes during your visit to our clinic yesterday.
Generally, our filling’s cost is from $135 to $275, it depends on the case. The accurate price can be only confirmed with the dentist after the check-up in the chair.
The price was quoted by the dentist was within our price range and the dentist could only provide an estimated cost to you without a proper check-up in the chair.
However, you decided to leave the clinic since the quotation was higher than your expectation, hence we did not get a chance to provide the treatment to you yesterday.
Regards,
City Dental Care
Fantastic experience: Saw Dr Ivan Tan for an emergency appointment. Was very professional and experienced and diagnosed the issue accurately right away and performed a wisdom tooth extraction that was super quick and pain-free.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing services! Dr Michael Chan is the one of most knowledgeable, competent, efficient, and patient dentists, based on my experiences. Procedures consisted of several fillings, full clean, front crowns x 4 and other minor dentistry. Entire process was painless and comfortable. Staff at front counter (at Bourke & Spencer St) were so accomodating, friendly and extremely considerate. Would highly recommend!!!
Positive experience: I would recommend people not to have expectation of a 5 star experience because of the reviews. Similar to another user I’m suspicious if the reviews are genuine. I did a cleaning and filling with them few weeks ago, the doctor and nurse are skilled but I’m concerned about the practice. First there was blood from the previous customer on the spitting basin, i had to clean up because it’s too disturbing. Then the equipment seems a bit weary, one of the tools was malfunctioning during the session which created stress for the doctor trying to finish on time. What made me most concerned was when I ask about wisdom tooth removal, they seems to be reluctant to refer me to a surgeon and want me to do it with another doctor within the clinic. I was worried as my previous dentist in NSW told me my tooth is very close to the nerve so a surgeon is recommended. When I asked the reception if the other doctor is a surgeon, the reception sounded surprise and didn’t seem to understand what the word surgeon means. I searched for the other doctor’s name online and nope he is not a surgeon. Anyway I decided not to proceed with them for my wisdom tooth removal for all of the above experiences. Not sure if I could trust them.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I will check with our dental nurse and make sure she does her job professionally.
In cases where an extraction becomes a bit more complicated - such as an impacted wisdom tooth, our dentists will refer you for a specialist (oral surgeon). However, we have a few experienced general dentists in our clinic who can do oral surgeon jobs (difficult cases of tooth extraction). That will save a lot of your money as our general dentists won't charge as much as an oral surgeon. This internal referral will be confirmed by the referred dentists upon checking up your OPG and make sure the extraction can be done. That was why your dentist referred to another dentist in our clinic instead of referring you to an oral surgeon outside. That will save your money and time to look for another place. There is no problem you can choose an oral surgeon to take care your extraction if you prefer.
Negative experience: I would give 5 stars for the customer service, including the admin, receptionist and the dentist. I really appreciate how they responded my booking of the appointment so quickly, even at 12am. However, I’m not satisfied with the treatment experience, although the doctor was really friendly. I visited for a regular check up and clean. For the check up, I told the doctor I have pain on my cheek, and the doctor checked for a while but didn’t give me a reason and solution why I’m in pain (I visited another dental clinic two days later, and the problem was solved immediately). Also, the doctor found that I had a little cavity on the surface of a tooth that requires a filling. I expected she will give me a filling after the clean, but when she finished the clean, she walked away and was about to finish the appointment. I asked what about the filling? She said she forgot, and didn’t offer me an option to get the treatment. She book another day for me instead. I thought maybe I ran out of the appointment time, but I didn’t see another client waiting outside. Anyway, I got the treatment in another dental 2 days later, and solved every problems. For the clean, it’s also a terrible experience. Firstly, the process was done very quick. Secondly, there’s no assistant present, only the dentist herself, no one help me to suction the water. So the cleaning water just kept leaking from my mouth. Thirdly, my cheek was injured by the cleaning tool. Finally, after I walked out the clinic, I checked the mirror and found my mouth was so bloody when I smiled. I was so shocked and embarrassed, I don’t know how to talk to others, and I can’t remove the blood on my teeth by tissue paper. I just left a dental with terrible looking bloody teeth.... I didn’t have gums disease that I confirmed with another dentist 2 days later. I was hesitating to write this review since I feel the dentist was friendly, I don’t want her to feel down. Instead, I wish I could encourage her to improve, we always learn from the mistakes. Also, I really feel the clinic should hire someone assistants to suction water during cleaning. I have visited another clinic for $99 clean and check up last year, I have a very pleasant experience there. So I don’t believe its about “you get what you pay “. I usually visit a random dental clinic twice a year for clean and check up before Covid. This is the first time I am so disappointed with the service.
Thanks for your review. You've seen our hygienist for your checkup and clean in your last visit. Our hygienist can do professional scale clean but could not do further dental treatment. She will refer you to our dentist for further treatment such as filling if there is any dental problem found during checkup and clean. I've talked to your hygienist regarding your scale clean here her reply below. Please let us know if you want to know more about clean. We are sorry that there were some misunderstanding regarding your clean and filling.
Firstly, the clean didn't take long because her oral hygiene is good, it doesn't have generalised build up.
Secondly, I try my best with suction, but the water does spray when I clean the front teeth.
Thirdly, I use my mirror for retraction during the clean, so the risk of her cheek being injured is unlikely. The injury might be due to the suction.
Lastly, I did ask the patient to rinse after the clean. However, if her gum is inflamed it will continue to bleed for a bit and form blood clots.
Negative experience: Please consider carefully, the 99 dollars bundle for teeth cleaning will cost you 60 if you decide to not do it. Thats the 'consultation fees' They did not make it clear on the website at all. If you see them, and they 'require' to do a 1000 dollar deep clean instead of what you want to pay for, your only option is pay 60 dollars for nothing, or book in for their 'deep clean'
We appreciate your feedback. Our promotion check up and clean is to clean the teeth superficially (above the gum). Like the hygienist explained in your appointment, your gum condition makes you unsuitable for this promotion since a superficial clean can make your situation worse. We want to be responsible for your treatment that's why the hygienist did not do the promotion clean today and recommended you to have a deep clean done as this is the only treatment that will help your gum to return to a healthy state.
The $60 consultation/examination fee is charged for comprehensive oral examination. We believe gum disease is not the only problem that was discussed during the appointment.
The quotation which was provided is a guide only, if you are not satisfied, feel free to look for other dental clinics or specialists that can provide the treatment at your favourable price. As long as you know that you need to have the treatment done as soon as possible, it does not matter where your treatment to be performed.
We wish you all the best for your future treatments.
Fantastic experience: This was the best dentist experience I’ve ever had! Dr.Sarah is very professional and friendly . My little kid felt comfortable and She Explained her dental options thoroughly.
Negative experience: Not a gentle dental service. After having three fillings done I now have a split lip and sores on my face from the dental tools used during the procedure. Was an expensive exercise for an unsatisfactory outcome.
Dear Aroha,
Thank you for visiting us at city dental care. Sorry to hear about your skin and lip condition after your last appointment.
I do understand that this can cause you distress and inconvenience.
As for your complaint, I need to add that the “dental tool “ that I used for you around the corner of your mouth is a suction /saliva injector that I use almost on all my patients, and is a very routine act in dentistry. This helps to avoid building up the water at the back of the throat and also helps with moisture control when performing fillings. It is very safe and under normal circumstances does not cause split /cracking and painful sores to such extent that I saw in your photos around the corner of mouth and skin. This has never happened to any of my patients and I use suction for all my patients.
The reason this happened is the skin of your lips and corner of your your mouth very dry and sensitive and as you mentioned to me later toward the end of the treatment on the second appointment, you have the history of having this problem before and as you also mentioned every time this happens it take a very long time to heal.
I do advise you to seek appropriate treatment by seeing a GP or a Dermatologist to find out the underlying reason for this condition and the appropriate treatment.
I am happy for you to give my contact details to your doctor and I can provide them any information necessary regarding the dental procedure that was done for you. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
Dr Sarah Kalanie
Fantastic experience: I'm a patient with Dr. Zeng over a decade, since she works in city dental care. Highly recommend everyone who is looking for a dentist in CBD area. I think she deserves a five stars review from me.
Negative experience: I had a cleaning done with my $99 Groupon voucher. The dentist checked my gum for 2 min and cleaned my teeth for less than 10 min. I don’t have excessive buildups, but the the dentist was quite aggressive while doing the cleaning. The polish was less than 1min and he didn’t even floss afterwards. Worst cleaning experience ever.
Negative experience: Real dodgy place. Did a clean and zoom whitening. Their "$99 clean" only includes the scale there was no actual clean, polish or fluoride treatment. Similarly the +$300 zoom whitening was pretty average, whitens teeth 1.5 shade lighter, and no after care package provided. You will probably save more money going elsewhere and getting a proper clean. The receptionist I am also pretty sure allowed a booking from someone in hotel quarantine.
Thanks for your review. Do you want to talk to your dentist regarding your clean and whitening. Zoom teeth whitening is a mature and effective method for teeth whitening. We do keep the photos before and after whitening and it seems the result is pretty effective. Our dentist will be happy to improve it if you have any special concern.
Fantastic experience: Dr Ivan Tan is a true professional. Didn't waist time trying to upsell me. Fixed my issue fast and told me something no other dentist has ever told me about my teeth. And the pricess are the cheapest iv ever had. Definitely go check out Dr Ivan Tan...
Negative experience: A year ago I would recommend the service but not now! Went for a clean and a check up just before Xmas and it felt like the services have been significantly watered down. A dentist (student?) without assistant who struggled with a suction tube, no mouth wash - plain water, no teeth polish, only scrape for clean. To top it all off, I am still battling severe gum infections in 2 places that inflamed the next day and they grounded off a tip of my crown and did not disclose it! Avoid them - not worth the risks.
Thanks for your review. We are having a hygienist to take care of the routine scale clean. A well trained hygienist usually do the scale clean without a nurse help. You will be referred to our dentist if you have any other teeth problems. Do you want to see our dentists if you have concern about your teeth problem?
Fantastic experience: Dr Ivan Tan was great! He did an excellent job in extracting two of my wisdom tooth with no complications.
Negative experience: Prices are triple what they advertise on their website, plus they charged 115 not 60 for the initial consultation. Didn't check any other teeth on a first consultation just the teeth I mentioned, no cleaning, no printed treatment plan.. nothing. Office was small and cramped, plus the receptionist didn't even wipe the iPad before handing it over to check in in these covid safe times.. try somewhere else.
Thanks for your review. There might be some misunderstanding of your charge. Our consultation fee is $60. This is a comprehensive examination fee been applied for so many years in our clinic. Your charge may include a $45 Xray. We usually provide a print out or electronic version of treatment plan on request. Could you contact our office and we will give you a copy of your treatment plan. We use ultra UV to sterile the surgery rooms everyday. The air disinfection machine is running all days to filter the air in the waiting room. Our Ipad for customer information collection is sterilised by alcohol swipe cleaned everyday. As a busy clinic, we may not be able to use alcohol swipe clean the ipad for every customer used. We have paper medical form to replace ipad if customers concern about ipad hygiene.
Negative experience: Booked an appointment with a friend of mine and visited the clinic yesterday after discovering they offer a 99$ deal for being a new customer. The deal was supposed to include : - comprehensive dental exam - gum disease screening -bite analysis -Tmj exam -professional clean and polish - oral hygiene instruction After a quick check of the tooth ,having issues with my wisdom tooth, I was told that if a want the x rays I have to pay an extra 45 $ per teeth ; even though is Cleary mentioned in the offer they advertise in the website. I had my cleaning done in less than 30 min and was told that I will receive the invoice and the following steps to follow in case I want to follow up . None of the other examination included in the deal were done and that’s absolutely disappointing!!! My friend actually got her cleaning done not even in 10 min ; and when she left a review yesterday, the clinic answered that they cannot find her name in the system; even being there the same day and attaching her invoice! How can be possible they do not find her on the system? I don't wanna think if someone has done there something more serious and then having some trouble they will answer like that... Unfortunately I would not recommend this clinic in the future.
Thanks for our review to us. Sorry for the delay of your statement. We have just sent you the statement for your visit the other day. I have located your and your friends files in our system. Our dentist has replied your concern by replying your friend's review.
Fantastic experience: Family friendly dental care service. I've been seeing Dr Ivan for a few years now, very happy with his work. My daughter is also getting her braces done by Dr Ivan. I also want to highlight how friendly the staff are, especially May. Customer service at its best.
Negative experience: I am not used to leave a bad review but in this case, I have to. I booked an appointment for a check-up and cleaning signing up for the $99 new patient promotion which, as mentioned on the website, includes: - Comprehensive Dental Exam -Gum disease screening -Bite Analysis -TMJ Exam -Professional clean and polish -Oral Hygiene Instruction. Once inside the room with the dentist, she just asked me if I was having any issue with my teeth and I explained to her that I'm having trouble with one of my wisdom teeth. She did a REALLY QUICK CHECK to my teeth with the small mirror and she said that one wisdom tooth needs to be removed. Let's move to the CLEANING SESSIONS. She spent not more than 10 MINUTES to do that !!! She didn't use any floss or fluoride treatment and definitely, it was the quickest teeth cleaning that I EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! The General Hygiene of the place wasn't matching my standards. The staff was friendly. HILARIOUS is that I went to this place with a friend, we booked for the same treatment and HE GOT A MORE ACCURATE TEETH CLEANING THEN ME when IT SHOULD BE THE SAME PROCESS even if you do it with a different dentist. I asked to have a receipt and I am still waiting for their email. Definitely never come back to this place or recommend it to another person. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH PROMOTION BECAUSE THIS IS A CLEAR EXAMPLE THAT IF THEY DO A PROMOTION, UNFORTUNATELY, IS JUST BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING BEHIND IT AND YOU WILL JUST LOSE MONEY AS IN MY CASE! :(
Hi Alessia, thanks for your review. There is a letter different of your real name and your google account name. That took us sometime to locate your file. We have just sent you the statement for your visit the other day. I’m sorry to hear about your bad experience. We are normally known for our exceptional service, and we regret that you did not feel this way.
Our dentist was very concerned when you reported that you have been having severe at night pain for the past week with pain starting on the top left-hand side and radiating towards the bottom jaw. She palpated your jaw to ensure there is no swelling, and upon examining inside, noted a large caries lesion on your top left wisdom tooth into the nerve. She showed you with the mirror the location of the decay and removed food from the hole. She tapped the tooth and you reported soreness with pressure. Due to the size of the decay and your reported symptoms, our dentist highly recommended x-rays to examine further and plan removal before pain or infection gets worse. The quotation was given to obtain consent, however, you decided to not go ahead with further examination or treatment.
A full mouth scale and clean was then performed using our newest airflow technology. Your dentist did a thorough clean using an ultrasonic scaler to remove calculus stone and prophylaxis to remove stain and give a superior polish. This technology ensures minimal discomfort while maintaining superior efficiency.
We appreciate your understanding and wishing you all the best for future treatments.
Fantastic experience: I had an implant and bone graph of one of my front teeth with Dr Ivan Tan, 6 months on and I'm very impressed with his work. Very professional and trust worthy, would use him again for major dental
Fantastic experience: My usual dentist was not available during my emergency but Dr. Ken Kuang managed to solve my problem without delay. He is very patient, polite, respectful and kind dentist. Felt very comfortable doing first stage of the root canal with him. He did a great job. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I had some major dental work done by Dr Chen-Yu Liu. He was professional, polite and we were both extremely pleased with our dental work. I would highly recommend him and this clinic to my friends and family. The prices were the very best in Melbourne and my wife also had her dental work commended by another dentist from elsewhere. Thumbs up from our family!
Negative experience: I was a customer at City Dental Care last year. when a Melbourne University graduate , female, Chinese dentist cleaned my teeth.(I don't recall her name, but she was friendly , professional and took care of me ). That's the pro side of my experience, however today when I went there again to learn the dental cleaning prices, an unkind, uncaring receptionist continuously told me that it's $150(dental cleaning)+$60 check-up though I have repeatedly told her that I had already had check-up and x-ray at my first visit. She didn't give any effort to explain why City Dental Care would charge the patient for a check-up which has already been exercised before. Her attitude was reckless, rigid and cold, which caused me to erase the professional and helpful image of the institute. I would strongly suggest the founder of City Dental Care to hire much more humane, understanding receptionists, who have sense of empathy and can be competent in listening what the patients try to say.
Dear Gem,
Thank you for your feedback of our service. We have checked your record from our system that has shown the online promotion for new patient only has been used in your last year's visit. We glad to hear that you are willing to return for another check-up and clean service with us.
Generally, the dentist would recommend a six monthly regular check-up and clean recall to the patient. Our general check-up and clean fee is $210 which includes a $60 check-up and $150 scale and clean. The reason of the $60 check-up fee to be charged again is our record has shown your last visit to the clinic is the 14th of May 2019. It is more than twelve months ago and patient's oral or dental condition will be varied. Thus, if you would like to see the dentist for another check-up and clean service, the $210 fee will be charged as normal.
We only waive the check-up fee for the patient if the patient has done a comprehensive check-up before and return to the clinic within a short period for on-going treatment with the same dentist. It is obviously not applicable to your case.
Therefore, the price was quoted by the receptionist yesterday that was strictly followed our fee schedule policy. We sorry to hear the details of the fee schedule policy were not explained over the phone clearly. We hope the above explanation will help you to understand and we are looking forward to seeing you again.
Thank you.
Best regards,
City Dental Care
Negative experience: Bad experience. They didn’t send me their new address and then I had to wait 1hour.
Fantastic experience: Annie Cao has been the absolutely best dentist I've known since I came to Australia 17 years ago. She has saved my mum from weeks of great pain in just magic 20 minutes. We couldn't thank her enough. Her amazing professionalism and personal skills have always impressed me. Highly recommend her to all needed. We wish her and her clinics all the best! Love your work!!!
Positive experience: I had an extremely bad experience with Dr Rebecca Li about 3 years ago, today was my first day back in this clinic after found out she had left the company. The place still brought back lots of bad memories. In between the years, I was visiting 620 Bourke street clinic(same company), the staff are friendly and professional there. Dr Ivan is the dentist I’d recommend. The only feedback I would provide is that to suggest the clinic to keep up the communication with clients if dentists are running late for the appointment. Last 3 visits I had to wait minimum 50 minutes at the clinic. If you can anticipate the delay, it would be nice to call patients to come later.
Thanks for your review. We will try to communicate with customers about the dentist delay so customers won't be waiting too long for your appointment.
Negative experience: It is a SCAM. Don’t come here for any too good to be deals because you’ll get add-ons that weren’t agreed upon from a $60 check to costing you $150. Edit: this is my reply to your response: First of all, I was not given any treatment plan. The dentist claimed I had no issues with my teeth (which I checked again and there were issues! Showing unprofessionalism in your dentist and a waste of my time and money! ) Second of all, the dentist did not make me aware of any extra costs in the consultation UNTIL I found out AFTER the whole consultation was finished when I left the room! I did NOT give consent! This is highly sketchy as any other professional workplace would make it clear to its customers of additional costs to the treatment/ consultation they selected. So customers beware of this company, they up their sales through too good to be true “discounts” but once you go, it’d cost you a LOT MORE than it claimed. This is how this ‘dental clinic’ makes its money, it’s a SCAM business.
Thanks for your review. Our dentist usually will suggest further treatment if they found any dental problems, such as cavities after the checkup. So an additional cost for the treatment may be added with your consent. Hope you can understand. By the way, I could not find your name in our system, could you contact us so we can help you more with your concerns. Thanks for you feedback to my reply. We charge $60 exam fee. The extra charge in your description could be X-rays ($45 each). The Our dentists usually will confirm with your customers for extra cost on their appointment. Could you contact our manager through our business email or call our frontdesk to complain to our manager. I believe he will organise something to make you happy.
Negative experience: very bad !!!!!!!!unreasonable charge ! since they know we have bulk bill , they put any item they wanted , everybody be careful. I will never come back and also will not recommend my friends come. I have no idea what items these are , I will report to Medicare about their irregular charge .
Hi, Thanks for your review. Usually Medicare doesn't cover any dental service unless you have government letter for CDBS. I could not find your name in our system. Could you contact us so we can help to explain those charges you are not sure?
Fantastic experience: I'll never go to another dentist - so scared of dentist and Ivan is just the best gentle and relaxing!!!!!
Negative experience: Seems as if this place is a 'work experience' place for apprentices.
Thanks for your review. We could not find your name in our database. Could you contact us to specify more details of your experience? We would be very happy to help you to solve them.
Fantastic experience: The place is clean, simple and no fancy things that will be reflected in the bill. Dr. Trish is outstanding. She is kind, patient and she will do the necessary work with exceptional quality. I will go back to see her. Thank you Dr. Hua... you are very good! My full name is Juan A Semo
Negative experience: Dont bother going there, staff are rude, dentists are bad, they promise you one thing and deliver another. I visited this clinic twice and never again.
Hi Mary Chan, thanks for posting your review. We are very concern our service to our customers. We could not find your name "Mary Chan" in our system. Could you contact us and let us know your treatment? Our dentist will contact you if you have any concern about your treatment.
Fantastic experience: Who knows how much Dr. Tracy li is this year, very professional
Negative experience: What a rip off !!!! City Dental Care Cosmetic Centre has VERY poor customer service. I asked many questions and felt I didn't get the answers, and as for the procedure I had done..... I would have been better going to a butcher he would have done a better job and cheaper. STAY AWAY from this company in my opinion !
Hi, thanks for your review. We could not find your name in our system. Could you contact us to let us know what treatment have you done for your appointment? Do you need our dentist to contact you regarding your treatment?
Fantastic experience: Very good doctor. Went for a check up and clean. Highly recommend this place.
Negative experience: It's an absolute rip off.
Negative experience: DO NOT GO HERE!!! BUT... If you want to be yelled at and called names go here. Appalling service.
Dear Angela,
Thank you for your feedback.
We have provided a $99 check up and clean online promotion for you today and we have kept our promise from the website "If you have private health insurance it’s likely that the check-up would be ‘no-gap’ meaning that you pay not out of pocket expenses for your appointment. As each fund varies please contact your private health provider to confirm."
The dentist has provided a professional service and advice during the appointment and no out of the pocket payment has been charged today since your health fund rebate has covered the full amount of $99.
Therefore, no inappropriate services have been charged or claimed from your private health cover.
We appreciate your feedback and hope you can understand.
Kind regards,
City Dental Care
Negative experience: Really poor management for the booking.
Fantastic experience: Treatment: filling of wisdom tooth Cost : $230 including two xrays to examine other teeth. Pros: Great availability and professional dentist, reasonable price.
Fantastic experience: I just realised as I was looking up the phone number to make an appointment that I had not left a review. I hate going to the dentist so much! But here, allthough I still hate it I would not go anywhere else. It is the most comfortable I have ever felt at any dentist. The prices are reasonable, the hours are so good for shift workers! Most importantly, the dentists are kind, gentle and skilled.
Fantastic experience: Found City Dental Care via Google. Quick Diagnosis, on time and reasonably priced. Would recommend to anyone looking for a dentist in Melbourne CBD.
Fantastic experience: Needed to see a dentist urgently for root canal treatment, upon calling they were able to organise an appointment within an hour to see me. Very polite & warm dentist/staff here. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I was initially annoyed because I had to wait 45 minutes for my appointment but I'm glad I did wait. The dentist was very good and showed me where the problems were so I could see for myself. He then did more treatment for me straight away without me having to book a new appointment. Now I understand why his appointments run late!
Hi Zara,
Thank you for your feedback. We are looking forward to seeing you in the near future.
Regards,
City Dental Care
Fantastic experience: Called them for an emergency filling and they were able to get me in same day on a Saturday! Big thanks
Negative experience: Really horrible time management. I went for a check-up first and I had to wait for 10 mins, after asked the reception to check and see how much more I need to wait the dentist finally saw me! The assistant was such a confused person and couldn't understand what the dentist needs and the dentist had to leave the room and bring the x-ray films herself. I did the check up and booked my next appointment to have fillings. I arrived 7 minutes late and after waiting for 10 minutes I again asked how long I shall wait? It took them 5 more minutes to come up with an answer which was 10 more minutes! I cancelled my appointment and left and not going back again.
Sorry to hear that you are not happy with our service. We are trying to give best service to our customers which some of the treatment will be delayed. Hope you can understand.
Fantastic experience: I visited this clinic yesterday and I got Dr. Ivan Tan. I have to say he is truly the best dentist I have ever had. He's so highly skilled, professional, informative and completely understanding. He instantly recognised a hole in my tooth which has been causing me great pain since November! (This was previously misdiagnosed by another dentist.) I can tell that he has a great passion for his profession and he really knows his stuff! I was so grateful to have gotten Dr. Tan yesterday to finally give me answers to my dental problems which have been confusing me the past few months! I will 100% be back :) The clinic itself offers amazing online deals, the team of staff are absolutely lovely and if you get Dr. Tan, you are in very capable and professional hands!
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for your kindly feedback and we are looking forward to seeing you in the near future.

City Dental Care
Negative experience: I had a appointment with a dentist, I felt he was very rude & had a negative attitude so decided not to proceed, I thought he had anger towards patients very strange!
Hello Marcus, an apology if you were offended however, please do understand I have tried my best to address your situation.
A treatment plan was formulate for you for restorations and a denture to replace your failed bridge of which you complained to be too costly and continued to seek for discount. We took two x-rays on the day of which I only charged you the cost of one. Total cost was $105 including consultation examination treatment planning and x-rays.
It was not after three months when we met again which you complained of a tooth ache and wanted treatment. During our initial consultation we've noted that this particular tooth needed a filling. However after three months, the decay has progressed, leading to nerve inflammation/ hence tooth ache. A root canal treatment is now required to resolve your issue, of which I quoted a total of $1300 for three sessions, each to be roughly $400. You then proceeded to challenge me , saying I quoted you $200 for treatment initially. And yes, that is because previously the tooth only required a filling, and now it needs a root canal.
I believe I have explained everything clearly with full consent of treatment options and costs. Hope that helps.
Your dentist
Fantastic experience: Dr. Tracy Li is the best. Best experience so far. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Dr ken is the best the staff was really friendly and consider all along I come with a broken tooth and in the same day they fixe it with a beautiful resolt and with a reasonable price I would return to this cleaning
Fantastic experience: Super professional. Very reasonably priced, definitely going to come here for all future dental concerns.
Fantastic experience: Got seen by a dentist on short notice for a replacement filling. The dentist was professional and explain options available to me. Very happy with the service. Affordable price, definitely go back.
Fantastic experience: I see there are mixed reviews about this dental practice so I guess it depends on who your dentist is. Well, I am lucky enough to have Dr Chen-Yu Liu as my dentist. I have now seen him twice, one for a replacement crown, and most recently for a treatment plan and clean up. I have found Dr Chen to be very friendly, very patient, and he does a quality job. Dr Chen takes the time to explain things in detail, only recommends work that really needs to be done, and puts me at ease. I am a nervous patient who normally only ventures to the dentist when in pain but my experiences with Dr Chen have made me happy to go back for further treatment.
Hi Peter, thanks for your review. Good to hear you are happy with our dental service we provide. For the mixed reviews, some of them are fake reviews which we are currently dealing with Google to remove them. Some bad reviews long time ago were from one of previous dentists who has left our business. All our customers are lucky to have good and quality service now.
Fantastic experience: Professional and always ensure that I stay comfortable during the operations. Dr Rahimi did great job in cleaning and surgery.
Fantastic experience: Dr Yujia Zeng is the best dentist I ever had! She is very patient, gentle, thorough, professional, always answers all my questions and make me feel comfortable. She did a great job for me, I will recommend her to everyone. The receptionists are always very friendly, efficient and helpful. Thank you for doing such a great job :)
Negative experience: Usually when going to other dentist offices I have received a deep clean including a plaque scrape and a floss. They did not scrape my teeth they did not floss and they did not do a gum poke/check. They just looked inside, told me they can't really see anything without X-rays but they are an extra $45 per side (which I could not pay for today) then when I refused the X-ray they just blew water over my teeth and then polished them with the toothpaste. Then I rinsed and it was over. I was probably in the dentist chair less time than it took to do the paperwork. It was not thorough, it was not helpful. I will not recommend or go back. Also, I signed up for the $99 new patient promotion and they tried to charge me $210 at check out! No good. Go elsewhere. Good luck!
Our website has clearly stated that the new customers need to mention the promotion deal if they want to use it. You did not get the deal price when you paid after your treatment could be because of our staff forgot to note it when you made your booking or you forgot to mention it. We applogise if it was our mistake. With regards to the promotion, it is not for a deep clean. However, a comprehensive oral examination and dental charting of your teeth was done. Floss was also used and pocket check was done on your teeth. We are a modern dental practice and we spend thousands on buying new modern equipment and instruments. The dentist used a modern ultrasonic scaler to clean and remove the calculus/tartar and plaque and stains from your teeth instead of using manual hand-scaler. The ultrasonic scaler is faster, efficient, more gentle and less painful than a manual hand scaler. Therefore, you only felt water was blown over your teeth. The suction tip used by the dental assistant was removing all the plaque and tartar/calculus from your teeth.
Ultrasonic Scalers
How they work: These instruments use the energy of ultrasonic vibration to crush and remove hard, calcified deposits of calculus/tartar and plaque. They also create shockwaves that disrupt bacterial cells. Use of these tools includes washing and flushing the pockets and any exposed root surfaces with water. They are effective in removing extrinsic stains from coffee/tea whereas manual hand scaler does not remove extrinsic stains.
They are as effective as manual instruments for calculus removal in shallow gum pockets and significantly more effective in pockets greater than 4mm. They are very effective in removing calculus/tartar from root surfaces and from within periodontal pockets. Their small tips can penetrate deeper into periodontal pockets than manual instruments and are more comfortable to experience, and they are more effective for cleaning difficult nooks and crannies. Coolant sprays flush the area and remove bacteria and their by-products. They require less time than manual instruments.
X-ray is useful in checking for any decay/cavity between your teeth and under old fillings and detecting pathology. Unfortunately our eyes cannot see through teeth or fillings or gum or bone. We use modern digital X-ray which requires low dose exposure instead of high dose exposure of conventional x-ray. Unfortunately with modern technology comes with a hefty price and it is costly to maintain. Therefore we cannot do cheap x-ray procedure.
Also, it is not fair you compared dentistry between USA where you came from and Australia. As we know scale clean usually is done by a hygienist in USA. And customer do not pay a cent as it's usually fully covered by insurance. Dental hygienist in USA will spend 30mins doing the scale and clean. Insurance also fully cover 4x post bite wings every 6 months and full mouth x-rays of 18x PAs and bite wings every 3 years in USA. Hope you can understand that our dentist did not do anything wrong with your dental treatment according to Australia standard.
Fantastic experience: Very good experience. Dr Chen is young, friendly, smily and really professional. He makes you feel really comfortable and he is doing a really good job. I recommend him for sure ! Girls at the front desk are really nice and friendly too :).
Hi Bastian,
Thank you for your feed back and it is our pleasure to service you in our clinic. We look forward to seeing you in the future.

Negative experience: I made a 230pm same day Sunday appointment to assess my pain from a day before tooth extraction(mentioned in booking) I missed a call from the clinic and returned that call within 30seconds. I had a NQR conversation with the receptionist! She asked me if I was coming at 230pm and did I check to see if I can go to another clinic. She stated the last patient is at 3pm and they go home after the last patient. (not rude but very strange) This was so NQR! After a review of city dental I noticed its roughly rated at 3.5 over 66 reviews with rudeness/lateness and poor quality dentistry a big concern. For this reason I cancelled online 4 hrs notice. Following that I booked with MC medical and dental in docklands on Latrobe. Receptionist called and ran through private health insurance detaild/my dental concerns/time booked and gave me the address and asked about antibiotics and pain killers. I was very assured. Now given I didn't actually end up going to city dental care it's really hard to say much about the place.... But that phone call with them was very NQR and I suspected they wanted a early day which rang alarm bells
Negative experience: Sorry I will not recommend this dental care. The doctor ( Dr Chen- Yu Liu) is very very rude. Instead he says that treatment in india is very bad in a very sarcastical way. I just want to tell him that they are more educated and far more intelligent than him.
Hi Spipriya, we have forwarded your comment to Dr Chen-Yu Liu regarding your complain to his service. Here is his reply: This is Dr Chen-Yu Liu responding to this incident. Patient called in for an after hours appointment and I stayed back to see her. Treatment options were provided for her tooth ache with treatment procedures shown to her on YouTube, appropriate prices quoted with holiday loading during Easter emergency treatment. Everything was explained in great details. Patient was very insistent to have tooth removed and have implant overseas which I disagreed with, in mind of providing the best and most conservative treatment to save her tooth. Patient did not progress with any treatment eventually due to financial constraints .I provided them with my name card for contact if there are further matters I could help with, hence she could quote my name perfectly. Ironically it was used as tool for such slander comment which I feel greatly aggrieved. I also offered a prescription for antibiotic to the patient as I was unable to provide any treatment with the lack of consent and agreement. Wish you the best with future treatments.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Tan deserves 5 stars. Simply the best dentist I've come across in my 20 years in Australia. Clearly a professional with plenty of experience and no-nonsense direct approach.
Fantastic experience: Dr Hesam Rahimi, Thank you for helping and making me pain free! Excellent service and quick and easy booking especially on new years eve! Highly recommended. Happy New Year to City Dental Care
Fantastic experience: I was very comfortable with my dentist, who explained very clearly the process of my appointment and the health of my teeth
Fantastic experience: Great stuff! Friendly and very professional. Extructed tooth with no issues! Great work!
Negative experience: My appointment was running an hour late, so I left without seeing a dentist. There's something NQR about this place (which is probably why they're offering discounted dentistry)... Would not recommend.
Fantastic experience: I had a wisdom tooth removed by Dr Ivan Tan on a Saturday afternoon. His treatment was professional and precise. However, I developed "dry socket" four days after the extraction, and Dr Tan was able to fit me in to clean the socket and fix that problem within a few hours notice, which was a relief given how strong the pain was. I strongly recommend Dr Tan if you require any dental work to be done. He is professional and friendly. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Dr Ivan was the best dentist i have ever seen. He was so patient, friendly and made me feel at ease from the start. I had both of my wisdom teeth out and I felt so comfortable and trusted his work. He explained everything thoroughly and even advised me of other work I needed (picked up on some things other dentists never have). Never have I not cried when visiting a dentist, apart from my visit with Dr Ivan yesterday! Very pleased, great service.
Fantastic experience: Booking was easy, several reminders by SMS, no delay in waiting, the Dentist quickly identified a problem others had not as well as the underlying cause. Cleaning process was quick and painless.
Negative experience: For everytime I call the City Dental Care, the receptionist is always very rude and impatient. Just calling to ask for some information and just a little bit more about my enquire. They always speak in a very rude tone and are very rush just like wanna push you to hang up the phone call. And also they even hang up before you which make me feel they feel sick of my enquire. I think it is very rude. Hope the customer service of the receptionists who answering the phone can improve a lot in the future. I am very satisfied with the dentists. But just really don't like the receptionist's customer service.
Negative experience: I've been there to do teeth refilled for few times, this time i decided to take the my wisdom teeth here and just made the phone call this morning to book the appointment for teeth filling and take my wisdom teeth out, but i wasn't sure if i can take my wisdom teeth out on the coming appointment or not (cause other dentist reckon its ready to take out) so i asked a little bit more informations then the reception sounded very inpatient, kind of tried to blush me off and quickly wanted me hang out the phone, i do understand that maybe she can not give me advice but her attitude definitely did not provide very good customer service
Fantastic experience: Best Dental Care in Melbourne! Friendly ,sophisticated and professional staff! My good experience by Dr. Yujia Zeng Clean and developed clinic
Negative experience: 医生责任感很低,而且术后不负责
Hi Kx, could you let me know which dentist did you see in our surgery? I will try to talk our dentist to communicate with you regarding your treatment. Thanks Steven
Fantastic experience: I had a wisdom tooth pulled by Dr Rahimi yesterday. I was feeling trepidatious, having not had a tooth removed for many years, but it was absolutely painless, and Dr Rahimi was very personable and a pleasure to deal with, and explained everything clearly. I was really impressed, given how unpleasant some of my other dental experiences had been. I would definitely go back here and recommend it highly!
Fantastic experience: Excellent find. Came here by chance as my family dentist was on Xmas leave and I needed an urgent root canal. Efficient, experienced and professional service. Think I've found my new dentist!!
Fantastic experience: Just had an appointment, first time there and impressed is an understatement, saw Dr Yujia Zeng, she was so attentive and gently and explained everything. She is a wonderful dentist and I will be back from now on because of her professionalism. Thank you Yujia for seeing me at such short notice and looking after me.
Negative experience: Extremely horrible experience. I've never had such a horrible experience in my past life. I booked an appointment on Saturday at 10 am. without any prior notice, they allowed a queue jumper before me. ok that's fine, i'm ok to wait for another 1 hr at reception. The doctor, Rebecca Li, is a totally MONEY DRIVER. She ignore my description, EXTREMELY IMPATIENT. VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY UNPROFESSIONAL Dr and VERY bad tamper to patients.
Hi Runner,
Thanks for your review. I am sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience in our clinic for your last visit. Dr Rebecca Li has left our clinic recently. We will get you a good dentist for your next visit and we would like to offer you 10% discount for your next dental treatment to appreciate to your trust.
Regards

Positive experience: HAVE ONLY GOOD REPORTS TO FILE ON THE TREATMENT I RECIEVED BY DR. HESAM @ STAFF AT CITY DENTAL CARE. HE WAS VERY GENTILE AND PATIENT WITH ME AS I WAS IN THE CHAIR FOR 5 NEW CROWNS. THE STAFF ARE ALSO VERY PLEASANT.
Hi Jennifer, thanks for your good review to our service. Could you give us a 5 star review if you are happy with our service or let us know anything we need to improve.

Negative experience: I haven't received any notice that this clinic is not Medibank supplier from July. After I checked & cleaned, I had to pay the fee even though I have got total cover from Medibank. Don't get tricked!
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Dr. Rebecca Li since last year. Very kind and really skilled. Strongly recommended her for the friends who visit City Dental Care.
Fantastic experience: To The Best Dentists 'CITY DENTAL CARE' Dr Rebecca Li, I thank you for saving my tooth. You and your fellow dentists and staff are the best dentists I have ever seen in my 57 years. Open 7 days a week your amazing. 5 STARS from me.
Fantastic experience: The best dentist experience I've had! I had to get a big filling on my front tooth replaced, since it was coming off. I got an appointment for the next day. My dentist did such a thorough work to make sure that there was no infection or that I didn't need root canal treatment. I was more than happy with the outcome and the price was very affordable (even for a backpacker)! Ohh and they had a TV in the ceiling that you could watch, never seen that before haha! I highly recommend this place :)
Negative experience: The worst experience ever! I had a filling and they injured/cut my lip which I noticed after the the numbness was gone! The cut eventually turned to a huge semi-cold sore infection arround my mouth with painfull swollen lips, chicks and even glands! :( Not happy at all after a week still dealing with these complications which I never had. My GP said that it's infection beyond a simple cold sore which required anti biotics! I assume they didn't sanitise their tools as they should do! My first and last visit to this place!
Fantastic experience: Great dental centre. Used a voucher for clean and my dentist explained everything she was doing and at the end described how I could best protect my teeth. Will be back next time, thank you! :)
Negative experience: i wanted my husband to do cheaper crowns using Groupon. just recently G. had promotion of $50 on dental. receptionist sugested to go past G. and pay them directly. when i said that it was a promotional price dentist totally denied that. also they said that we can not change our mind on a crown procedure. i will need to supply them the note from my dentist that i am unable to have this procedure. that sounds different to G.' conditions. we did not have anything done at city dental care clinic but by dealing with them prior the possible procedure put me off completely. i feel that they will take coupon, do something , deny all responsibility, i know it will not be worth saving $ 500 or so for a crown. reading all reviews just amazed how different they are, almost opposite. name the bad dentist so people who need to go there can avoid her rudeness and unprofessionalism.
Fantastic experience: Awesome dentistry, I had 6 crowns with the Dentist Ms Tracy and her work was very professional & gentle. Highly recommend her! Jake
Negative experience: The dentist I saw who was extremly rude,Very Very Unpleasant experience. I will never ever go back there anymore!
