Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Dr Kumar more! I have a long history of avoiding the Dentist due to lots of anxiety and shame. He made me feel instantly at ease- he could pick up my anxiousness and just made me feel so calm and not at all judged. I will definitely be back regularly- Dr Kumar has changed my life for the better. I’m so grateful.

Fantastic experience: Writing this because I’m just so grateful to the team. Dr. Matt was incredibly patient with my stubborn wisdom tooth. The assistant was also so kind and friendly. When I had severe pain a few days later the team squeezed me in, helped with pain management and reassured me. Wouldn’t go anywhere else in Brisbane.
We're thrilled to receive your 5-star review! Emergencies require quick action, and we're glad we could be there for you. Thank you for choosing us, and feel free to contact us anytime.
Negative experience: tried calling few times this morning, no answer whatsoever!, very disappointing, maybe you will need to hire someone who can actually answer phone calls when potential and existing patients try to reach you.

Your call is important to us and we always strive to assist every patient both in person and over the phone as quickly as possible however, sometimes we may need to call you back if our team is busy helping other patients and there are no messages left for the practice.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our team work very hard to ensure our patients receive excellent dental care so we really appreciate it.
Negative experience: I made an appointment for a night guard as I grind my teeth at night. Over the phone I was told roughly $500 dollars. I chose this dentist as most others quoted me around $800 dollars. At my appointment I was told the mouth guard would be $800. I explained over the phone I was told roughly $500 dollars. I was then told they don’t quote over the phone & the price was incorrect. The way they handed the situation and the way I left the centre feeling was terrible.
We sincerely apologise for your experience at NDC Newstead. We pride ourselves on great customer service and I assure you that we are looking into this matter on our end.
A member of our team will be in contact shortly to discuss this further. Alternatively, please feel free to email us at [email protected] with further details.

Fantastic experience: Great friendly service at every visit. My dentist is always calm and reassuring, making it a stress-free experience.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: I inadvertently gave a one star rating for my dental treatment by mistake (please accept my apology for this). I actually meant to give 5 stars for the excellent service I have received. My dentist discussed my dental issues and I am very confident that Dr Matt will work with me to gain a positive outcome.
Thank you for the great review! We’re so happy you loved your experience and can’t wait to see your smile at your next appointment

Fantastic experience: All round good experience, my dentist, Matt, is very thorough with a gentle touch. He explains everything that he is doing and everything that needs to be done in the future very clearly. Even the payment at the end doesn't feel too painful!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our team work very hard to ensure our patients receive excellent dental care so we really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Really impressed with this dentist! I've struggled to find a dentist that is right for me since moving from Sydney to Brisbane (I honestly think I had the best dentist in Australia in Sydney). I had a minor dental emergency and was able to book a Sunday appointment and Damian was really so professional and great. Good at making me feel at ease and easily resolved my issue without any fuss. Also he was nice to chat to, which put me at ease. Definitely will be making this dentist my permanent dentist now!
Thank you for the great review! We’re so happy you loved your experience and can’t wait to see your smile at your next appointment. Until then, we’re here if you need any help with your dental care.
Fantastic experience: My family go here and they are fantastic
Thank you for your 5-star rating, Jo-Lyn! :)
Positive experience: I had a bad experience in National Dental Care Newstead and never went back. It’s 2 years ago, but I think I should clear this up. My partner and I both booked an appointment to do an oral clean in 2021 March. A female dentist met me for this appointment, and she didn’t clean my teeth but instead decided to do a full X-ray of all my teeth and used a needle to stick in every single part of my gums. It was so painful! During the needle poking gum check, she pushes me to book in deep teeth cleaning procedure which costs over 2k. In this appointment, dentist didn’t do any oral clean because my teeth is so bad that oral clean won’t work. She also told me Asian tends to have bad teeth (Shocking) !!! Plus my teeth will fall out if not do deep cleaning procedure. At this stage, my partner finished his oral cleaning and waited for me in reception over 30mins. This was a painful visit and I didn’t expect to get stereotyped and pushes to do a procedure for a simple oral cleaning appointment! We both didn’t end up going back to National Dental Care clinic. I go back to my old dentist to do dental cares now and my teeth haven’t been fall out yet without the procedure. Thanks god for that lol

We’re so happy to see that your experience was 5-star!
Fantastic experience: Recently had some work done by Dr Mayra, and it was the most enjoyable experience I've ever had at a dentist. I was so relaxed I fell asleep (no gas needed), and that's never happened to me when laying in the dentist's chair! A very caring and thoughtful dentist.
Thank you for sharing how much you enjoyed your experience with Dr Mayra. We pride ourselves on the quality of our team so we love hearing reviews like yours.
Fantastic experience: National Dental Care have been looking after my teeth since they opened shop, Kieran was my dentist up to the time he moved to the coast, Matt is now my dentist, we are about half way through some complicated work and I must say both these guys are super stars.
Thank you for sharing how much you enjoyed your experience with our team at NDC Newstead. We pride ourselves on the quality of our team so we love hearing reviews like yours.
Negative experience: I was disappointed during my recent routine dental examination, clean and x-rays not once did a qualified dentist come in to give me an examination or view my x-rays. In my past visits to this dental practice a dentist would either perform all this work themselves or at least provide a dental examination before or after the clean with a hygienist making sure they have not missed anything during the examination or x-rays. Overall, decent clean but no polish was provided.. friendly staff, but no dentists to be found in this Dental practice.. Edit - Thanks for your reply, and since you're mentioning Alice, I will now refer as such. I am glad Alice is qualified to do such things, however like all other times I have booked an appointment it’s to see an actual dentist and according to your reply Alice is not a dentist. I have never once booked to see Alice or any other type of health provider than a dentist and in fact I always get told "we have booked you in with Dr..." and every time I have booked recently <1.5 years it’s been to see Dr Matt and I was never made aware of this change to see a Oral Health Therapist named Alice. So, no I have not "seen" Alice she has seen me even though I have and always have booked to see a dentist and the past time I was once again booked in to see Dr Matt but nope Alice it is. When my receipt says services provided by Dr Matt... I expect them to be provided by Dr Matt... not a Oral Health Therapist named Alice! Think about it Moreover, I did explain this last time and made it quite clear that I'm there to see a Dentist not a Hygienist or in Alice's case a Oral Health Therapist, and at the least I want a dentist to check everything at the end, so your staff seem to either not be listening to their customers concerns or don't care at all which is a real concern. Reading through your reply of what Alice is qualified to perform and what I had received as an "examination" you have made it much more clearer and affirmed my suspicions of how subpar of a service I received and how terrible my so called "examination" was. So, I will go ahead and amend my rating to reflect the poor service and examination I have received since you have cleared that up for us both. The lack of care regarding my concerns of what I had written in my original review and this past examination service has now reminded me of the following other issues I have had at National Dental Care, Newstead so its only fair I leave the feedback. Regarding Surgery - An awful experience I had at this dental practice in 2019 when I was booked in for a surgery for several months and the surgeon decided to instead go on a holiday without informing anyone or myself to reschedule and I was left without a surgery and date, and I had already taken time off work with zero accountability and the staff didn’t care at all. Regarding Punctuality - Every time I visit this dental practice, they're running late they even once had an emergency and decided to not call me to say "hi, we have had an emergency walk in would it be possible you can please come a little later". Instead, I arrived and had to wait for over an hour to be seen. The patient was already in the chair before I arrived and they only told me the emergency once the dentist was running so late, so they had plenty of time to make a quick phone call prior. Once again, this just shows a lack of customer service and care.
Hi, Thank you for your feedback.
We have referred back to your appointment and found that you saw our Oral Health Therapist Alice who you have seen previously. Alice is qualified to perform Clinical examinations, Radiographs, Diagnosis of dental disease, Treatment plans and fillings. While our practice has many wonderful dentists, Alice was able to complete your examination for this visit.
At our Newstead Practice Our Oral Health Therapist Uses the newest Swiss made Airflow Technology for a more comfortable Experience. The treatment does include a polish at the start of the treatment and is quite different to the regular method of polish which Uses a Gritty Paste at the end of Treatment.
Our practice Manager will be in contact with you this week to answer any further questions you may have.
Negative experience: Terrible service. Received a confirmation email of my appointment, but had it cancelled without notification. Receptionist not helpful and extremely rude. AVOID.
Hi Daniel,
Thank you for providing this feedback, we use reviews like yours to ensure we are continuously improving our practice. A member of our team will be in contact over the coming days to discuss this further.

Fantastic experience: My girls and I have been going to national dental care for over 5 years now . The team at national dental have always made us feel so welcome and always go above and beyond . We are so thankful for you all .
Thank you for your kind words! We're happy to hear that both you and your family trust us with your dental needs; superior patient care is our #1 priority.
Negative experience: 7 texts, 3 phone calls, emails EVERYDAY to try and confirm may appointment in the week leading up to my quick initial consult that would then lead up to at least $10,000 in costs in subsequent appointments. More than 24 hours before my appointment (Thursday 9am for a Friday 1pm slot) it was unceremoniously cancelled by text message. Then an immediate email follow up - "If you do not respond to this email we will cancel your appointment" - an hour later it was cancelled. THEN the staff member asked WHY .... WHY did I not respond to their confirmation requests as the dentist would like to know before deciding whether I deserve to keep the appointment or have it rescheduled. HOW DARE YOU! This is supposed to be a professional healthcare company NOT the principal's office at primary school!!! How dare you expect to drag me into the office for an explanation as to why I didn't promptly cater to your ravenous need for this confirmation and to then to feign to be incredulous when I asked why YOU exactly need to be told why and aggressive manner you responded with resulted in the same returned. One gets what they give. But apparently that can only be one-sided. "WHY did you not take the time to meet our demands that will result in us making lots of money from you, you abhorrent customer!!!" Be ashamed how you treat clients at your company!! $10,000 and THIS is the way you treat your customers??!! Disgusting to say the least! Get out of health CARE because you obviously don't know a thing about the CARE part! Money hungry hacks!
Hi Al, we are sorry we have been unable to meet your expectations and resolve your concerns.
Negative experience: Disaster experience from Dr McNamara the unprofessional dentist I’ve never ever seen in my life. I have had a tiny little decay and I was strongly pushed by him to do filling because he said me infection will starting sooner and makes more tooth decay so I listened everything he said and did filling however he screwed up and destroyed my tooth. After the treatment I felt very painful because of bleeding never stopped so I had to go back to NDC again and really needed to discuss with the Dr McNamara but instead of him Dr Matt showed up and Dr Matt gave me choice of options to what I must to do next therefore he suggested me to do refilling and then the root canal treatment at NDC or go to the different dentist and do it. Meantime when I was in the room with Dr Matt, Dr McNamara was walking around the office and doing nothing because there’s no patients were left so he could make a apologise to me at least not just running away like a snake. When Dr Matt gave me a quote for the root canal treatment, I realised and told them “Why Do I Have To Pay?” Your boss is the one who ruined my tooth. They shouldn’t charge me $10000 I mean I felt they are insane. I need my tooth back.
Hi Yu,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience, patient care is our top priority and we have looked into this matter urgently.
I have had our clinical team review your notes and upon investigation it is believed this was the appropriate treatment required at the time.
Our providers take a more conservative approach in these situations which is why we gave the tooth a chance to respond positively to less invasive treatment before proceeding to the alternative.
I would like to discuss this matter with you further, can you please give me a call on (07) 3638 0229 at your earliest convenience?

Thank you Tony. We have a wonderful and caring team at Newstead
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and the facilities are great with perfect location and plenty of parking under Gasworks. Dr Matt and her team are the best I have been to so I can fully recommend him if you want a very careful/professional dentist.
Thank you so much for your review! Patient care is our top priority so we really appreciate your positive feedback.
We look forward to seeing you next time!
Fantastic experience: Helpful, friendly, competent admin staff and dentists. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: The best experience I ever had. Dr Nish and his team made me feel really comfortable! I've been to many dentists over the past years, I've lived in Italy and Sweden, and I'm glad I found this clinic.
Fantastic experience: The service and expertise I have received from the team here have been nothing but phenomenal. I have had extensive problems with dentists over the years and Dr Kieran McNamara and the other team members has been kind and thoughtful and above all else professional. Very grateful for their care and attentiveness to my needs. Thank you. If you are looking for experience and professional services with a touch of caring bed side manner. Please look no further.
Fantastic experience: Dr Nish is very thorough and a delight! Really cares about your comfort without compromising great work.
Fantastic experience: This was hands down the best dental experience I’ve ever had. On my first visit I dealt with Dr Bree and she was so lovely and welcoming. She explained everything perfectly and was upfront with how much the procedure would cost and what was involved. On my second visit I dealt with Dr Nish and he made sure that I was extremely comfortable throughout the whole procedure. It was absolutely painless and was over before I knew it. Both dentists were extremely personable and knowledgeable and at no point did I feel like I was just there to get my teeth drilled, I had a great chat to both of them and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants their next dentist visit to be quick and painless!
Fantastic experience: Dr Nish and all of the team were incredibly helpful, considerate and professional. The best checkup and clean I’ve had in years. Highly recommend.
Thank you Oliver. We think our team at Newstead are friendly and welcoming too.
Fantastic experience: First time visit due to a switch in private health care provider. Dr Nish was terrific - thorough, professional, and very friendly. All the staff made my visit as efficient and pleasant as possible. See you in 6 months!
Thank you Luke. We have a great team at Newstead, they are welcoming and friendly. Feeling relaxed and comfortable helps with any anxiety you may be feeling about visiting the dentist.
Fantastic experience: I've been around the world, lived in many different places and I check my teeth regularly (of course). The expertise I got from Dr. Matthew Pagliano at this clinic in Brisbane was outstanding. He explained everything he did and told me information about my teeth that I didn't know in a very informative and honest way. Friendly, clean and professional clinic. Professional dental nurses and receptionist. Highly recommended!
Thank you Pontus for sharing your experience. Feeling comfortable and relaxed with your dentist makes the experience even better. We have a wonderful and caring team at Newstead.
Fantastic experience: Dr Pagliano is a delight! Made me feel at ease with his professionalism and passion. Excellent bedside manner really taking the time to explain what he was doing. Facilities at this practice are also top notch. Highly recommend.
Thank you. Dr Pagliano is a very thoughtful and caring dentist that puts the needs of his patients first. we look forward to seeing you at future appointments
Fantastic experience: Bree Addison is the most fantastic dentist. Going in having had a horrendous experience in the past, I was terrified. Bree put me at ease immediately and the entire procedure was painless and efficient. She has fantastic social and emotional skills. I highly recommend anyone looking for a dentist to go and see Bree.
Thank you Katrina. Dr Bree has a great and caring manner and always putting her patients needs first. So glad your experience was a positive one.
Fantastic experience: Over the last month I have been able to get Veneers done with Dr Pagliaro. It was the most phenomenal experience and can't believe how nice my smile is now! When I got the Veneers done it was painless, great clinic, staff and patient manner :D Thank you again!
Negative experience: I had a very unpleasant experience here! I feel as though this dentist isn't very open and honest about pricing. I was told that my first visit through medibank will be complementary whereas I got charged $56 as an 'extra'. They should have at least informed me about that. Not going there again as I dont appreciate being raughted!
Fantastic experience: Professional and efficient service. Great additional tips and advice provided by Dr. Marta throughout the session.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful service, very impressed with prompt and professional attention to my dental problem. Looked after very well by Dr Kieran McNamara and team. Highly recommend.
Hi Carmel,
We are thrilled to have you as part of the National Dental Care family! Thank you for sharing your kind words, it really does mean the world to us!
We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Kindest regards,
National Dental Care, Newstead.
Negative experience: I feel as though this dentist isn't very open and honest about pricing, and doesn't really follow up on any concerns you have, several times I have been to this dentist and experienced the same thing each time, and sad to say by the looks of reviews from other people I'm not the only one! Sorry guys but looks like you have lost someone who would have been a permanent client, I dont appreciate being raughted!
We are sorry that you felt let down on these occasions. We have taken your feedback to heart and are in the process of making improvements, so occurrences like this do not happen again.
We would very much like to make this up to you by proving that we can deliver a much better experience. We understand if you are angry and simply looking for closure, but we would like to make things right, if you would allow us the opportunity.

Negative experience: BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS PRACTICE. I had a wisdom tooth extraction done as my tooth was infected. That day I asked if there was anything else wrong with my teeth and I was told that I needed fillings. The extraction was fast but a bit strange 3 days after my extraction my tooth got infected so I rushed back in and I was finally prescribed antibiotics and my consultation was waved for some reason? (strange) Today 5 weeks later I returned to the practice again as I noticed that area of my tooth wasn't healed properly and I had a lump at the area of the surgery. THIS TIME I was told that I needed a root canal and one of my tooth is infected BUT I SAID I WAS GONNA GET ANOTHER OPINION. When Speaking to the Receptionist/ Manager about my situation she mentioned it is completely normal for Dentists to have different opinions and She made me pay for that appointment. Pros friendly staff and clean facilities- cons they will never tell you how much it will cost you until the very last minute.
Fantastic experience: Great dental clinic . They give such friendly and excellent service . Zoe the oral health therapist gives the most thorough and gentle dental check ups and cleans. Definitely will be back :)
Hi Leon!
Thanks for leaving such a positive review, and for mentioning Zoe. You’re right, Zoe goes above and beyond. We’ll be sure to share your praises with her. We hope to see you soon!
All the best,

Fantastic experience: I attended National Dental Care with wisdom teeth pain and extraction. Easily accessible location and a nice modern clinic with a designated and fun-looking children's space. Upon arrival, staff were welcoming and friendly. I arrived early and the Dentist was able to take me through sooner than my appointment which settled a lot of nerves. I was booked in with Dr Kieran who had a fantastic bedside manner, explained the whole procedure to me in a way I could understand, and completed the extraction quick and pain free. A great experience at National Dental Care - would highly recommend!
Hello Kimberlee,
Thank you for such a wonderful review, and for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Our priority is customer satisfaction, and we are ecstatic that we met that mark!

Negative experience: Good dentists. But this is a clinic that will cancel your appointment if they do not receive a confirmation from you. There is nothing in any of their communications with you that suggests this is their default practice. Doesn't matter that both parties have already agreed to a set date and time for the appointment well in advance. If you do not confirm on the day, you lose your appointment. Their this practice also contradicts the text of their SMS. Their SMS states that "Missed fees may apply" if you miss an appointment. This clearly suggests that your appointment will be kept even if you don't confirm, but if you do not make your appointment you will be charged a "missed fee", which is fair enough. This clinic needs to change its practice. If I say I'll be there, I'll be there unless I explicitly tell you I can no longer make it.
Negative experience: If i could give this any less than 1 star I would. Let me preface this by saying I had no pain, and was doing a checkup after 1 year, and in that prior checkup I had required 1 filling. Dr Chirali Patel was awful. I was told I needed multiple fillings which were done in two bouts. The first bout was okay... only until the next day where my face was completely swollen, I came back a few days later to be told it was probably infection even though there were no other symptoms and I was prescribed antibiotics. There was a lot of feeling around but nothing was found or seen so it was almost like a "lets just try this solution" in relation to being given antibiotics. The remaining fillings were completed and my other side of my face swelled also. The swelling lasted for over 1 month on both sides. The worst of it was that my mouth was in constant agony following this, for almost 3 months. I found another dentist who performed a replacement filling on one of my brand new fillings and a root canal on one of them. The pain did not end there. I went to a doctor eventually and it turned out there was a blockage in my cheek due to a nick from an injection. I would never wish the discomfort and pain I experienced for 3 months on anyone, even my worst enemy. If you go here, do not see Dr Chirali Patel.
Thanks for your feedback Jim. Unfortunately our customer service team cannot identify your patient record. We take feedback such as this very seriously, please could you call us on (07) 3638 0229 so we can resolve this for you.
Negative experience: I had no issues with my teeth, just decided to go for a check up. The dentist said that I need to fix the teeth that was giving me no problem. She proceeded to fix them, within a couple of days I was experiencing pain from those teeth and had to go back to the dentist twice and still had problem, I had to go to another dentist, pay again and get them fixed again. Unfortunatly due to my poor experience, I do not recommend this place to anyone.
Hi Estalla (Stella),
We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience at the dentist. Pain is a late indicator of decay. When we detect decay on x-rays as we did in your instance, our intention is to intervene before symptoms occur. Sensitivity after a white filling is something we warn everyone about. Most times the sensitivity settles however in a few cases further treatment is required. Another appointment was scheduled to reassess relief of your pain after desensitisation procedure, and to replace the filling if still problematic. Unfortunately we had lost you as a valued patient by then.
Your feedback is invaluable and highlights an opportunity for us to ensure that our communication is clear without any room for misunderstanding. Again, thank you for taking the time to bring your experience to our attention.
It was a pleasure speak to you following this review to clarify the situation and wish to welcome you back as a valued patient.
Fantastic experience: I had a couple of surgical tooth removal today, quickly and without pain. Top service and very professional
Hi Federico,
Thank you for your kind words, we hope to see you again soon!
Kindest regards,,

Fantastic experience: I had a very good experience at NDC Newstead from start to finish. I highly recommend this practice and will be a return patient.
Fantastic experience: I went to dentist for first time in 3 years today.... I was impressed from start to finish with service level. Everyone I spoke to was pleasant and professional and the practice was impeccably presented. Zoe made me feel comfortable and explained what she was doing at every step and Dr Kieran was able to outline the options regarding my specific dental concern. Lauren at the front of house was able to close the deal and I got a sense the team at National Dental actually cared. Well done, I’ll be sending my kids next time!
Fantastic experience: I have been to a few dentists in my time but I love coming here. Zoe is great. She is gentle and does a thorough job. Dr Keiren is also amazing and informative. I'll be back.
Fantastic experience: I am very anxious about going to the dentist but my experience with Dr Kieran has put all my fears behind me. So professional, attentive and reassuring - a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Great affordable, professional Dental practice. After my long term Dentist retired, I searched a few places to find a suitable replacement and these people fit the bill. I had a general check up and crown on one of my molars, the technology they use is amazing! State of the art equipment and excellent service standards. Highly recommend, if you are looking for a good Dentist in the inner Brisbane area
Fantastic experience: Couldn't ask for a better service in Dentistry. Dr Kieran and the team at the Newstead clinic made my partner and me not only feel super comfortable but knew we were in more than capable hands. Couldn't recommend this clinic more highly.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience, the staff across the board are friendly, professional and take great care in their work. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Always the best! Great service from Dr McNamara and the team!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing dental practice; could not recommend more highly (and I'm such a 'nervous patient' - thank you Dr Marta!). All the staff are exceptional.
Fantastic experience: Just saw Marta today for a check up and clean. It was by far the best experience I have had visiting a dentist. Being 37 weeks pregnant I was a little nervous but the team took me in straight away, no waiting and Marta was so gentle and kind. Also love the little goodie bag and received a little toothbrush for baby.
Fantastic experience: I went in to have an old amalgam filling removed and replaced, so was a little concerned about the process and possibly the pain. Marta has a wonderfully calming and reassuring presence and made me feel very settled and informed about the process. It all went very well and i'm so happy with my new tooth! Thank you to all the staff i interacted with. It was a pleasant experience. PS it didn't hurt!
Negative experience: Unfortunately my second experience at NDC was so traumatic that I will probably never go there again. It took 3 doses of local anaesthetic and 45 minutes to numb the area for a simple lower molar filling. This has never happened to me before. Five hours later, my head is throbbing from the anaesthetic obviously, but some of it is wearing off in some places - all I can feel is the pain of where the needle went into my gum - nowhere near the actual filling itself. To add to the pain, the filling is raised because of the rush to finish the job due to the delay in the local taking effect - so now I need to go back or go elsewhere to get the filling ground down. Not sure whether this was due to a new product used to numb the area - regardless, it was not a pleasant experience.
Hi Stella, sorry to hear you had a bad experience at the dentist. Every patient has individual reactions to anaesthetic and it is quite common to need more than one injection to completely numb the area.
Unlike dentistry of yesteryear I personally aim to only perform procedures on people that are completely profoundly numb, regardless of how late I am running. I am sorry that you had to wait 45minutes for the local anaesthetic to be strong enough to complete the procedure but I am pleased to hear that the procedure wasn’t painful and that today the tooth is not painful. Often when you are completely numb at the end of an appointment it is difficult to tell if the filling is raised, therefore, this is why we routinely call patients the next morning to see if they need to return for an adjustment or if there was anything further we can do for them. We called you the following morning and left a message, that offer stands so please contact us if there is anything more we can do for you.
Thank you for bringing to our attention your experience, your feedback is invaluable and highlights an opportunity for us to explain further during the treatment about what is happening and what you should expect after the treatment.
Fantastic experience: Each person i came in contact with was very lovely and professional. Couldn't recommend these guys more!
Fantastic experience: Marta was amazing, and this was the best dental clinic I've been to. Great technology and clean facilities
Fantastic experience: I saw Dr Ala and have never experienced a Dentist who was so gentle. The service and practice is fantastic.
