Fantastic experience: A superb experience. Broke my tooth in the morning, phoned and was slotted in to have the front tooth fixed. Dr David and the dental assistant were magnificant. I get quite anxious going to the dentist and yet both of them were very caring and explained all that was happening and what to expect. A great experience. Future work needs to be done, but before anything was booked Dr David explained the options which i certainly appreciated. I feel very comfortable with Dr David and his great team. I know my dental health is my responsibility but having others in your corner that you can trust certainly helps. Have booked further work and look forward to getting it all done.
We're so grateful for such a kind review. It's our pleasure to be the dental team in your corner!

We appreciate your review Bo. A pleasure having you both in the practice.
Fantastic experience: Professionalism and excellence - with kindness and friendliness are the words that come to mind when we think of Wauchope Dental. Its not just about the dental work but its about the whole atmosphere and how the practice as a whole is conducted. We appreciate that we have not encountered the "hard sell" as we have in several practices in the area in recent years. Options for treatment are offered with clear details and explanations when appropriate. We have waited many years to find a dental practice such as this which "ticks all the bases" as far as we are concerned. We have no hesitation in commending Dr. David and his team to anyone seeking dental care in Wauchope. John & Annette Ives.
Thank you John and Annette. It is patients like yourselves that fill us with the greatest joy. We look forward to seeing you both next time.

Fantastic experience: Ok, I hate going to the dentist, especially for around 10 crowns (sorry, lost count). I hate the needle. I hate the sound of the drill. I hate wearing sunglasses in the middle of the day, and a bib that only grandparents have to wear. HOWEVER. David from Wauchope Dental, obviously knows what he is doing and is the best dentist I've had to encounter, with surprising results. He always makes sure that I'm okay, even with a wide-open mouth full of stainless-steel objects and water spraying about. Well, he can hardly work on your teeth with your mouth closed. His dental nurse, Leone, is delightful. The staff are friendly. Everyone seems so happy to work there and that's refreshing let me tell you. I'm always happy to get out of there, but I'm always very glad I came.
Haha Drew that was such a joy to read, even made me laugh. Yes I know you hate it (you're not alone!). But I am grateful you appreciate our efforts and we can make something you don't love, just a touch easier.
Fantastic experience: Quick and friendly dentist and staff.
Fantastic experience: Wayne is experienced, conservative and pro-active. Very happy to have moved our dental care to this practice recently
Cheers Barry! We are so thankful that you have decided to bring your care to Wauchope Dental :)
Fantastic experience: David is a wonderful and caring dentist. He explains procedures and options. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a competent and honest dentist. His staff are excellent, polite and friendly and they remember your name as you walk in. You can also see him at his other practice at S.W.Rocks and have a day out enjoying our wonderful coast. My husband also attends and gives his agreement to my comments. Keep smiling Lee
Thanks Lee and Chris. It's a pleasure to look after you both. Appreciate you sharing
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist. Even found an issue I was not aware of on examination of the X-ray. I had known I had an issue some years ago but dentist at that time from a different city couldn't find any issue. The pain went and I forgot about it. The issue grew without my knowledge but has now been discovered. Thank you for that.
We are glad that we were offer to give you the best possible outcome Sune. We aim to provide comprehensive care so those issues don't stay hidden. Thanks for the great review and see you next time.
