Fantastic experience: AJ had his tooth extracted and completed his final fillings today, while Gaeb had his first fillings and a clean. I’m so proud of Gaeb, he didn’t react at all! As for AJ, he was brave enough to manage the needle and go through the extraction like a champ. What surprised me the most was my gorgeous Delight, who expressed herself so fearlessly during her very first dental check-up! A big shout-out to one of the amazing dentists at our practice, Dr. Arash! And a huge thank you to the friendly dental assistant, who was incredibly kind and gentle throughout the sessions. I totally forgot to take photos of AJ and Gaeb during their treatment,but the experience was truly memorable To anyone thinking of getting a dental check-up or cleaning,whether it’s for your kids or yourself. but feeling nervous or scared of the dentist, worry no more! A1 Dental Care Practice has got you covered. Visit A1 Dental Practice, located at 8A/3 Sydney Avenue, Barton, Canberra ACT, Australia 2600. Highly recommended, and I can guarantee that you’ll experience genuine care and the gentle hands of the amazing team at A1 Dental Practice Barton.

NIcey Hewitt 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for the excellent care Dr. Arash provided during my son’s recent dental treatment, which included four fillings and one extraction. This was my son’s first time experiencing dental work of this kind, fillings, an extraction, and even receiving a needle, with his eyes open the entire time. What could have been a scary experience was made calm and reassuring thanks to Dr. Arash’s professionalism and kindness. Dr. Arash was incredibly gentle, soft-spoken, and patient. Every time he did something, he explained the procedure step by step to my son, including why it needed to be done. This not only helped ease my son’s anxiety but also helped him feel involved and safe throughout the entire process. He was especially attentive to my son’s safety when administering local anesthetic, ensuring everything was done with care. It was clear that my son was in very good hands. We are truly grateful and highly recommend A1 Dental Practice. Thank you again, Dr. Arash, for your outstanding care and compassion.

Fantastic experience: I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Taban and her incredible care. I had severe dental phobia, but from the very first appointment, she made me feel safe and supported. Her kindness, patience, and understanding helped me work through my fears, and I’ve now completed major dental work—something I never thought possible. Thanks to Dr. Taban, my phobia is gone, and I finally feel confident about my oral health. If you struggle with dental anxiety, she is the best! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great dentist. I have a number of old dodgy fillings and Sharif carefully checked them all, identified the ones needing urgent attention and provided me with a costed treatment plan. I went ahead and had 2 crowns done. Love the 3D printed crowns! It really speeds up the process and means one visit rather than two. Great communication and very COVID aware

Fantastic experience: Dr. Taban Napaki is my new dentist at A1 Dental and she is excellent. I have visited her three times – once for an annual check up, and twice for work on crowns. She was attentive, thorough and carefully explained all procedures and options and answered all my questions. Patient care and comfort are always foremost in Dr. Taban’s mind. She constantly checked to make sure I was doing all right. Dr. Taban showed tremendous compassion and understanding when she learned of the passing of a close relative. Thanks Dr. Taban for your outstanding service, professionalism and kindness.

Hair, Skin, and the Journey Within Podcast 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Michael is the best dentist I’ve ever worked with. His number one priority is to ensure his patients are comfortable and well informed. He does this by walking you through everything that he will be doing inside of your mouth before he starts to work. Then, as he’s working, he calls out things that he’s seeing. When he’s finished, he thoroughly explains everything that he’s seen and done and works with the patient on a game plan moving forward. I greatly appreciate this approach and it puts me at ease. He is incredibly diligent and takes pride in his work. He is honest and gives his patients all of the necessary information up front so they can make the best decision for themselves.

Hamster Style 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Snapped about 1/4 of my tooth off, the break nearly went to my gum. Dr Shareif Elhoufy was amazing! Went in for a consultation and the next day i was in the chair. He saved the tooth, did a full root canal plus a crown and a filling for the adjacent tooth. Provided a detailed treatment plan along with the products needed. Hardly any swelling or pain from work. Excellent post work support. Easily one of the best dentists in Canberra. Highly recommend! Actually forget what I said, don't want his wait list to get any bigger or ill have to wait till next year to get an appointment.

Douglas Catling 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Would be 4.5 if I could figure out how :p Michael, one of the dentists is brilliant, though did seem to pad the time out a bit--weird, since I don't think they bill by the hour. Maybe just wanted me to feel I got my moneys worth, and I did! One snag is the treatment plan. They fill it out with all of the things you might want to get done in the future, then ask you to sign it. Nani? There's no contractual language on the document, it's not an agreement as far as I know... just seems very weird, and leaves you with the lingering feeling that you are somehow being conned. But decent price and warm, expert service by the dentist and support staff. 4.5 out of 5, until I find out that I signed my soul away.

Fantastic experience: My teenagers and I went to A1 Dental Barton for consultations. The advice and recommended options given to me was very detailed, clear and pragmatic. I am very happy with the treatment plan Dr Barin created for my fillings. I appreciate Dr Elfar explaining clearly to my teenager and me about getting clear aligners. I have also recommended my friends to come to A1.

Fantastic experience: The Team at A1 Dental are fantastic. There was a few miscommunications in regards to booking but besides that, they were great. Firstly, appointment was cancelled due to COVID which I completely understand, it's out of their hands so it was what it was. No issue with that what so ever. However, when they called to rebook me back in once restrictions eased I was given the wrong date for appointment so had to change my leave, my partners leave and work around studies due to this error but we got there in the end. We needed a statement saying that these changes were made at fault and on behalf of the dentist and not by our choice which we were told would be sent through the day the new appointment date was confirmed, however, it took nearly 3 weeks to come through (with 3 reminders) which wasn't ideal for our employers as they were waiting on this to approve leave changes. I completely understand that in these unpredictable times that things get full on & busy and things get forgotten, they are only human after all It didn't put my mind at ease when the communication was lacking throughout this process though. It is an expensive outlay & quite a stressful experience at the best of times so aiming to have better communication is all I could recommend to better my experience with A1 Dental. Once all of the confusion was sorted It was a smooth and simple process. Clean, Tidy, Great Dental Work, Gentle & Good Location.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely incredible service provided by Dr Mohamed Elfar, reception staff, and dental assistant within the Barton practice. I highly recommend choosing A1 Dental for a child friendly, welcoming, and stress free experience. Every step of our visit was welcoming and educational. We approached the practice looking for a second opinion. ((Such a great choice in getting a second opinion!)) We now have a far less invasive treatment plan in place and couldn't be happier. Thank you Dr Mohamed Elfar and team, your holistic, honest approach to our daughters oral health is very much appreciated. Kind regards, Belinda

Fantastic experience: A1 Dental provide an outstanding service and all staff are friendly, helpful and professional. My son recently had a dental emergency right before went left for holiday and when we called at the last minute, we were given an after hours appointment where he was treated quickly and professionally. Over the years my whole family have received the best dental care and we will continue to come back. I would highly recommend a visit to A1 Dental.

Fantastic experience: The team at A1 are amazing! Dr Shareif Elhoufy really took care of me by doing a filling on a problem tooth of mine. He was professional, friendly and efficient. He really listened to what I wanted and explained everything well. I would highly recommend visiting A1!

Fantastic experience: My family and I needed some last minute consultations and treatment. The clinic bent over backwards to accomodate us. No request was too much. The quality of treatment was excellent and very customer service orientated. Both the dentists and the hygienist were excellent and very engaging and professional. The clinic itself is in an extremely convenient location, the front counter staff superb and the facilities and equipment fantastic. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: This was an excellent and surprisingly affordable experience. If you must go to the dentist, I would recommend this one. Having never seen a dentist in Canberra city before I followed word of mouth and asked for Dr Shareif Elhoufy. He did a great job on the clean and advised me that I didn't need to get a filling replaced when he could have easily just done it and charged me for it. He does not do unnecessary stuff and he explains what he wants to do and why. Highly recommended.
