At Oasis Dental we offer next level dental treatments that are outcome based. We believe the current dental model of selling fillings, crowns or root canal treatments is broken and that our patients deserve to be educated and empowered to seek out dental treatment that doesn't just "patch up" a problem but is a long-term solution to help them keep their teeth for a lifetime. If you are sick and tired of constantly needing more and more dental work, only for it to fail, then contact us and we will discuss with you a solution to achieve a healthy, stable dental outcome.

Fantastic experience: Excellent dental practice with amazingly competent and caring staff. My 5 star rating is well justified and much deserved.

Blowfishgreen 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Oasis since 2015 and i simply cannot fault their service, professionalism and follow through. Other health care providers should watch how a good business is run and all the staff, from reception through to the dental assistants and the dentists, are polite, thorough, always timely and just so easy to deal with. Very professional and positive experience (always and everytime). Well done Rick and the team at Oasis. Regards Ken

Fantastic experience: The dental hygienist, Zohar, is amazing. So caring, so professional. Every 6 months I have my teeth cleaned by Zohar. I noticed as I aged that my teeth were getting more sensitive. I was starting to really dread these cleanings. When I arrived for my bi-yearly cleaning yesterday I mentioned to Zohar my concerns. He listened and together we figured out how to accomplish the cleaning with zero pain! He was wonderful.

Fantastic experience: Best dentist in Canberra! Friendly staff always treat you warmly. Amazing, modern clinical set up with state of the art equipment. Dentists are top notch, and although not cheap is good value for the assurance of quality and getting the best care. Highly recommend.

Ashton Hayes 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Rick and the team at Oasis are amazing. They are professional, approachable and have a great sense of humour. Rick's attention to detail and perfectionism is second to none. I highly recommend giving them a try. If I could give them 6 out of 5 I would

Fantastic experience: Professional practitioners who are very clear with their communication and have your best interest as the priority. All the way from Dr Rick to their reception staff, they provide a warm and friendly environment. I hope Dr Rick continues his great work for many years to come because he’s too young to retire

Martyn Hazelwood 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been with Oasis for over 10 years and after my restoration work was complete I have been trouble free! The best part is that they guarantee their work. I had a crown give way, I called the team and had a new one the same day. The work and service are awesome.

Oasis Dental

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the 5 star review. The proof is in the pudding as they say and being able to not worry about your teeth is a great feeling.

Miranda Kathryn 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Dr Rick and his team highly enough! After having bad dental work done at other clinics in Canberra, Dr Rick was able to restore my teeth and prevent any further damage. On top of the unmatched expertise, the team at Oasis are also centred around educating their patients which I really value. 6/5 stars, I wouldn’t let anyone else near my smile!!

Oasis Dental

Hi Miranda,

thanks for the great review and it has been a pleasure getting your mouth back to scratch. It is a pity that so much bad dental work is being done out there and that most people do not even know that their mouths are in such a bad state. Thanks for spreading the word.

Regards
Dr Rick

Fantastic experience: The best dentist I’ve ever been to. Thorough and informative, Oasis are committed to equipping their clients with the right tools to look after their teeth long term. Always 10/10 service.

Oasis Dental

HI Mariella, One of the best reviews ever.. but we would expect nothing less from you! Great to see you mentioning the fact that it is the patient that will need to look after their teeth long term and that most just haven't been given the right info and tools to do so.. A crying shame that our profession needs to address better. Also glad that you love our service!

Chrissie Jenkins 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Very happy with & confident in the thoroughness of care provided across every level at Oasis Dental

Ann Wang 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this dentist for 10+ years, they fixed my mouth and have been taking care of my dental work ever since. Amazing dental work, very high quality and skill from Dr. Rick. It may cost slightly more than the cheapest dentists, but it’s worth it to know that your mouth is being taken care of by competent and skilled professionals.

Oasis Dental

Hi Ann,

Thanks for the great review and like you I still remeber the state your previous dentists had left you in at such a young age. I am really glad I was able to help you so early in life and to avoid the situation I see so many of our older patients finding themselves in.

Thanks again for the great review.

Warm Regards

Adrianna Poutsma 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My partner and I have been seeing Dr Rick and the Oasis dental team for many years now and can’t recommend them highly enough. Here are just some of the reasons why: 1. Dr Rick explains in detail and with supporting pictures the status of our teeth, and possible ways forward. We have always felt Dr Rick has our best interests at heart by recommending action at the right time, and only when neccessary. In short, it can be expensive but we have never felt ripped off or that we are having work done unnecessarily. 2. Dr Rick is confident in his abilities and this is reflected in his steady hand and a guaranteed quality result. He is clearly up to date with the latest dentistry practices and technology. 3. The practice is focused on preventative dentistry, and they do all they can to improve your hygiene practices and identify potential issues early to a avoid major works down the track. 4. The entire Oasis team is incredibly professional, friendly and caring. They go above and beyond to accommodate us and make us feel valued. They have been the same team since the start resulting in continuity of care - plus it indicates a happy and healthy workplace! 5. The beautiful office space has everything you could want to minimize any discomfort or dental anxiety, such as lots of natural light, comfortable chairs, Netflix’s and fancy headphones. First time we don’t dread going to the dentist!

Oasis Dental

Hi Adrianna,

Thank you for the positive review and taking time to explain in details the reasons why. There are too many short reviews out there about how nice the dentist and team are but not about how good the dental work is. UItimately dentists have to be 'perfect' clinically and this is the reason why patients should seek them out.

Again thanks for the positive review.

Warm Regards

Nicholas Goggins 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: There aren't enough words to describe how good Oasis Dental is! While recently spectating an Ice Hockey game I unfortunately made an unintentional and ultimately unsuccessfully attempt to catch a puck wth my teeth (not recommended). This rendered 2 of my teeth broken. I had no idea what to do and felt very apprehensive as I've always had major anxiety about dentists. I called Oasis and got the lovely Melinda and from then on, they did everything! They managed to squeeze me into an appointment that day with Rick (who deserves his own review). He looked at my teeth made a plan moving forward and went even further by performing an x-ray on the laceration on my lips, only to find that there was fragments of teeth in the wound which would have been a major issue had it not been discovered. Before I had even got back too reception, Mel had already called the hospital that I had been too originally to get relevant documentation and was in the process of calling around, trying to find me an appointment for facial surgery, which it turns out needed to be done immediately. She booked me in for the surgery the next afternoon and also got me booked in with Rick's lovely wife Jeanine to build the temporary teeth for the next morning. Jeanine is another one who deserves her own review. Have you ever almost fallen asleep while having major dental... I can now say that I have. She is also an absolute master at what she does and it genuinely looks like there was never an accident. All in all, the business is beautiful, has all the comforts that one could ever dream of and more. The staff genuinely care and are legitimately 10 out of 10. Everyone was so so lovely, helpful and understanding in a time that was altogether, pretty horrible. I have found my dentist in Canberra.... you'd wanna have your head read if you go anywhere else! TLDR - Broken teeth and emergency assistance required... They did absolutely everything! Booked me in for as soon as possible. Booked necessary other appointments outside of their business and the dental work was the best I have ever experienced!

Oasis Dental

Hi Nicholas,

Wow! Thanks for the glowing review We are glad you found us and glad that we were able to avoid what could have been a really nasty scenario. Thanks for the long and detailed and glowing review.

Fantastic experience: Oasis dental really care and are successfully challenging all preconceptions of dental work and individual health. Oasis use the latest tech and research to ensure patients comfort and high end delivery of dental work. I genuinely fall asleep in the chair when I am at Oasis dental, to the point the dentist has to remind me to keep my mouth open. If you are concerned about going to see a dentist, go to Oasis dental.

Oasis Dental

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the positive review. We are glad that you find it so relaxing that you fall asleep. We even had someone fall asleep during implant surgery once!

Boyd Robinson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Rick and his team at Oasis Dental are amazing. Never before have I felt that a dentist has had a long term holistic plan for my dental well being. We started with a thorough assessment of my dental status, using the very latest technology and Rick's extensive knowledge and experience. Rick then proposed a staged plan to address various issues that had accumulated after years of "just enough for now" dental work. He explained in detail the status of each tooth, the work that needed doing and the best sequencing for the work. He also discussed my pain tolerance and lifestyle activities to develop the treatment plan. Rick cares greatly for his patients' well being. We proceeded with the plan to update caps, fillings etc. That was over two years ago, and I haven't regretted my decision. I recommend Rick's ongoing management plan involving quarterly scale and clean and checkup with a thorough annual inspection and review. Rick recently rectified, at no cost, an issue with one of the caps he had provided. He is very open and honest and demonstrated that he really does stand by his work. I highly recommend Oasis Dental Kingston.

Oasis Dental

HI Boyd,

Thank you so much for the detailed review and going into detail about the clinical outcomes that we have been able to achieve. Thanks also for mentioning our commitment to stand behind the work we provide. As you know there is a big difference between having dentistry to stabilise problems so you can keep your teeth for life vs the "patch and watch" style of dental work that is so ubiquitous nowadays. Again thanks for being one of our very special patients and caring about your long term oral health.

Warmest Regards
Dr Rick

Al McLean 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: For the first time in decades, I can confidently say that I have been receiving excellent clinical dental treatment, thanks to Dr Rick and his team at Oasis. I couldn’t be happier with the plan, and execution of my considerable dental issues. The attention to detail, knowledge and skill, has meant I have received excellent treatment. I leave each session confident and happy with the treatment I have received. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Rick and Oasis for any dental treatment.

Oasis Dental

Hi Al,

Thanks for the very positive review and mentioning our clinical work. I cant wait to show you your before and after photos of your teeth. It still shocks me, the state of almost all of our new patients' mouths when they present, even though they are almost always been regular with their dental visits - I suppose you cant know what things are suppose to llok like if no one has ever shown you. A healthy mouth speaks for itself.

Fantastic experience: I am a long term customer who had a lot of dental issues and Oasis has helped me get on top of these and more. They have helped with jaw, old fillings and emergency dental work and I now have protected teeth with a great dental plan to help me maintain their terrific work. Thank you team Oasis.

Oasis Dental

Hi Pam,

Thanks for the positive review and for being such a loyal long term patient. Do you know it was around 2015 when we stabilised your mouth and apart from the small thing here and there everything has been stable since! It's good to know that your future dental emergencies are not going to happen often and if they do they will be small and easily fixed.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Oasis Dental. The team is incredibly professional providing amazing service every visit.

They are a beautiful team that I am so thankful for.

Fiona Copp 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Over the past 12 months, Dr Rick has fixed a number of fillings I had done interstate. The previous work was done to a poor standard and I wasn’t aware of this until Dr Rick walked me through the results of the initial consultation and talked through the consequences if I did not remediate the issues. Dr Rick has an impressive set up using contemporary equipment to mould, cut and fire crowns using 3D imagery so that the crowns can be fixed on the same appointment. Happy with the work done and would recommend.

Oasis Dental

Hi Fiona,

Thanks for the reviewing a going into detail about the way we helped identify the problems that lurked in the future and congratulations that you saw the merit in avoiding these rather than dealing with them as they arose. Thank you for the recommendation and the trust.

Simon Mitchell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Oasis for years now - I spent a bit of money up front correcting previous dentists shortcuts. The work done was terrific, and I've been totally pain and trouble free since. I've signed up for the ongoing care package, and it's been a much better experience having my teeth cleaned quarterly, and making sure my teeth stay healthy. I also got a mandibular splint which pretty much stopped my snoring in its tracks without the need for a CPAP. I have no hesitation in recommending Oasis.

Oasis Dental

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the review and thanks for being so detailed about the process and what it has done for you. Thanks also for the honesty in saying it may cost more to rectify issues initially but that over time this investment pays itself off with a pain free and trouble free dental future!

Donna Bush 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Did you know according to the Australian Dental Association, it’s recommended you should visit the dentist for an examination and hygiene treatment every six to 12 months…. EVERY 6 -12 months!!! To do this you need a dentist you can trust, a dentist you like and a dentist who cares. As a patient I’ve had some pretty ordinary experiences in the past. I found Dr Rick his Hygienist Zohar and the rest of the team to be absolutely fantastic!!! Oasis Dental use the latest technology to get a complete picture of your dental health. For Oasis, it’s about preserving teeth and gum health so as not to cause further issues later on. There aren’t quick fixes here, I had extensive and complex work and at all times I felt informed about what was happening, the team were about maximizing my comfort and allaying my fears. As we are living longer dental health becomes crucial to that longevity. Whether you’re keeping your mouth healthy or looking for something more cosmetic, I thoroughly recommend Oasis Dental. You may find it’s a little more expensive but it’s absolutely worth it!!!

Oasis Dental

Hi Donna,

Thanks so much for the very detailed review! Spoken like a dental expert even! It is extraordinary what patients have to put up with before they are given the full picture and like you stated, it is not about just fixing the issues at hand but more importantly being proactive to avoid the issues that are coming tomorrow or in the future. Unfortunately this valuable insight is rarely given to patients and they just go from one dental issue to the next. Thanks again for the awesome review!

Matt McKeon 2 years ago

Ron Hays 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Oasis dental has done a fantastic job of helping me keep and maintain my teeth. I have had several important procedures done with them to correct issues that came from years of neglect and prior poor dentistry work. Throughout the entire process they have been honest, transparent, and informative in helping me understanding my options and weighting up different routes available based on their evaluations. The work they have done for me has been highly thorough, and with each successive visit I feel like my dental hygiene while with Oasis has improved and has lead to the prevention of what could have been serious complications if they had not been addressed by the team. I trust their advice, input, and appreciate the respect they have shown me throughout the entire process.

Oasis Dental

Hi Ron,

Thank you so much for this detailed review. As you know we position ourselves as a next level dental practice where we help our patients keep their teeth and mouth healthy for life, not just fix the immediate problems. It is great to hear that you feel that after each visit your mouth is better and better. Like all our lovely patients we really appreciate that you have chosen to take a path less travelled and avoid cheap quick dental work that in the long run actually makes things worse. Thanks again for this thorough and detailed review. It really helps to try to get the message out to others that may need what we do ( and that is anyone that wants to keep their teeth for life)...

Angela Bartkowiak 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Rick is awesome! Always does a great job. My children and husband go and we are always extremely satisfied. Whenever we need something done with our teeth, they always give the best advice!!! I had a crown done today and it is feeling really good.

Oasis Dental

Hi Angela,

Thanks for the review. Thanks for bringing the family to us and trusting us to look after your teeth and mouth. As you know the dental work that was done previously was causing so much harm and it is awesome to look at Jacob's mouth now knowing that we have been able to stabilise and prevent further damage from occurring. Thanks again.

Melanie Perks 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this dentist! The team really get to know you and your previous experiences. It has the calmness and elegance of a day spa from the moment you walk in. The receptionist is always so friendly and welcoming. The hygienist knows his stuff and provides not only a great clean but gives you the tools to look after your dental health between visits. I recently had a porcelain filling done and the team took the time to make sure I didn't feel any pain while I comfortably watched netflix. They honestly take all the time in the world to make sure you are comfortable, relaxed and have the most positive experience each and every time. I couldn't recommend them more.

Oasis Dental

Hi Mel,

Thanks for the review. We know most people do not enjoy the dental experience so always try our best to make the experience as least traumatic as possible. Most importantly however is the end result of the dental work you receive and we commend you in seeing the value in investing in long term porcelain restorations rather than cheap, quick plastic fillings which fail in only a few years. Well done and thanks for the review.

Susan MacCulloch 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to Oasis and Dr Rick. From the moment I booked in for an initial consultation I have only been treated with respect. The professionalism and expertise at Oasis is second to none in Canberra, and I believe Australia. Dr Rick only has the best interests of his patients at heart. He has shown this time and time again. I love the amazing improvement to my teeth and my mouth health. Seriously, if you are serious about your teeth, please ring Oasis and you will the best dental care that Australia can offer .

Oasis Dental

Hi Susan, Wow! Thanks for the glowing review and thank you for trusting us to repair all the damage and poor dental work you had received over your lifetime from your previous dentists. It is a real pleasure and extremely rewarding when we can transform someone's dental health from a state, such as your mouth was in, to a stable and healthy mouth where we anticipate no more emergencies and no complex dental needs going forwards, thank you again for the opportunity and the trust.

Nick Miller 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The experience at Oasis is awesome from friendly helpful staff on the desk to the dentist to the hygienist. I used to hate going to dentist but this practice is awesome. My teeth have never looked so good either!

Oasis Dental

Thanks Nick!

Tania 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: A dentist with a difference! Rather than waiting for your dental problems to become serious or actually arise (dental emergency), steps are taken to address them. Prevention has to be better than the alternative. Your first meeting with Dr Rick is all about taking photos and x-rays of your teeth, and then talking through what he sees, followed by how you can fix the problems. For me, some of the fixes were optional and others were about fixing them before I ended up in the chair needing extensive work. Whilst it is your decision as to how to go forward with the information, this is a two way street. Dr Rick can address the problems he finds, but you need to be willing to go ahead and follow the advice he provides you. Finally, you cannot fault the rest of the team. Melinda, who greets you when you walk in and always has time to talk through questions with you over the phone or in person, and the patient care team who look after you whilst you are in the chair. Thank you for taking such good care of me and for being so honest about my dental care needs.

Oasis Dental

Hi Tania. Thank you so much for the detailed and honest review. I love that you have also pointed out that it is as much up to you, as the patient, to accept and trust the diagnosis as it is for us to get it right once you have entrusted us to carry out the dental work. We appreciate that you, like all our patients, have chosen to invest in your long term dental health, rather than just try to minimise your expense on dental treatment. We are sure that the investment will pay you back many fold over your lifetime and hope your review can help others to see the value in this approach.

Hayley Manning 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: As a kid, I always hated visiting the dentist each year. I have vivid memories of anxiously waiting in reception fearing the worst. Of course, these fears carried on into adulthood! Which was true until I found Oasis Dental! After experiencing some tooth pain, I booked an appointment with Oasis. It was immediately clear to me that Dr Rick was exceptional from all other dentists I've seen before. He clearly explained my issue and used photographic evidence to explain the problem to me personally. It turned out I had a very small crack and needed a crown. I was TERRIFIED. However, Dr Rick was so patient with me throughout the entire procedure to ensure I was comfortable and reassured. I experienced absolutely zero pain throughout the procedure. Since then, I have been back for a few fillings/fissure sealants, and each time I feel notably more comfortable. I now visit Oasis every 6 months for a hygienist appointment, and barely even have to see Dr Rick any more because my dental health is excellent!! Amazing team, reception included. Wouldn't even consider trying another Dental practice. 6/5 stars!

Oasis Dental

Hi Hayley,

Thanks so much for the awesome 6/5 review! We are always happy to hear that what we have done for our patients means they don't have to rack up continual expenses with their teeth. Next level dentistry for next level results!

Samantha Whybrow 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have never been to a dental practice that pays so much attention to detail and really strives to both educate and provide individualised service. Dr Rick and his team spent a lot of time trying to understand what the real problem was and were able to resolve it. Aside from their expertise and care this is a relaxing space to visit and it feels like they have understood how difficult it can be to visit a dentist so they have paid attention to detail in creating as peaceful an environment as possible. Reception staff are welcoming and patient. I actually look forward to checkups. Thanks to the whole team.

Oasis Dental

HI Samantha, We always look forwards to your visits too and are really happy that you have trusted us to help keep your mouth healthy. There is no denying that dental treatment is not fun, however the devil is in the detail, which is why we pay so much attention to this. If a dentist gets it wrong the implications affect the patient forever and we are very cognizant of this. Whilst we strive for a perfect outcome for all our patients, whatever we can do to make the process easier is also part of the remit of our team. Thanks for the review.

Gillian Blake 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going here for ten years and have always loved the facilities, the staff, the service options and the experience. Attention to detail is fantastic and their customer engagement is thorough and informed. A strong focus on preventative dental so you save money in the long run.

Oasis Dental

Thanks Gillian. The devil is in the detail as they say! and early intervention/prevention is always better than the cure.

Hazel Ferguson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Oasis Dental provides an excellent standard of care, taking the time to provide detailed information and a clear long-term treatment plan to stabilise dental health. I recently started attending this practice after years of fillings each time I visited a dentist and worsening outcomes, and only wish I’d found this excellent team sooner! Melinda on reception has fit me in at short notice, called to check up after my first crown, and always makes sure I have all the information I need after appointments. Dr Rick initially spent an hour with me to discuss my dental history, diagnose the problems I was having, and provide information about treatment options. He and Tash have since worked together seamlessly in two longer appointments to fix various issues, and each time the attention to detail during the appointment, and the clinical result has far exceeded my expectations.

Oasis Dental

Hi Hazel,

Thanks for the great review and especially that you focused on the clinical outcomes that we stress are the only real reason to choose a dentist. It is easier to be nice than to consistently achieve the best possible clinical outcome. As you know we position ourselves as a practice that will always deliver the outcome as promised and to be honest we can only do this when patients such as yourself are able to see the value of this rather than just the surface deep "niceties" on offer elsewhere.

Freya Mac 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Oasis is everything you want in a dentist practice- extremely skilled, and every one who works there is very friendly and caring. I have dental phobia, and they were so accommodating. Dr Rick is very very good - and he goes the extra mile to make sure everything is to a high standard. I’m so pleased I found them and would recommend them to anyone.

Oasis Dental

Hi Freya.

Thanks for the great review and I too am looking forwards to the photos of your mouth after we have fixed everything. Thanks also for seeing the value in investing in dental treatment that actually fixes your problems rather than just the cheapest.

Kim Taylor 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Oasis for about two years and every time it’s such a lovely experience. Everyone is so warm, personable and competent. I was feeling a little nervous leading up to a longer treatment I was having but it was such a relaxed atmosphere that in the end it was a really nice experience.

Oasis Dental

Hi Kim,

thanks heaps for the review and we are glad that we were able to help you relax even though what we did would be considered almost impossible at other dental practices.

Sampson Cirovski 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Rick and the team at Oasis have done an amazing job on my teeth, wouldn't go anywhere else! So caring and gentle.

Oasis Dental

Hi Sampson,

It is always good to find young people that still place enough value on the end outcome rather than cheap quick fixes, as I always tell you, you are one of the precious few that do and we are honoured to be able to deliver the best outcomes because you let us..

Debra Surman 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Rik is an exceptional dentist. I have been a patient with Oasis Dental for several years and in that time Dr Rik has restored both my smile and oral health. Dr Rik combines the principles of preventative and restorative dentistry that enable his patients to maintain lifelong healthy and beautiful teeth. For me this has meant replacing old, poor quality fillings, crowns and veneers (that were actually damaging my teeth) with precision-fitted porcelain solutions. I couldn't recommend Dr Rik more highly. He is committed to giving every one of his patients the best outcome. He is a great listener and will discuss with you every option available before undertaking any procedure. You'll be in great hands.

Oasis Dental

Hi Debra,

Thanks for the lovely review and specifically the details you have conveyed. It means so much when our patients can help articulate that the best outcome is the most important goal in dental treatment, and that poorly performed dental treatment actually cause more damage than they fix..

Ashley Tootell 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing! I'm so happy I found Rick and his team. Not only are they nice and caring people but the work they do is second to none (the artistic work that Rick puts into each filling is really beyond words). Nothing is sugar coated including the costs. I went in with a cosmetic plan of what I've been told I needed (by other dentists). Rick explained that yes it could be done however with his plan for my mouth I would end up with a smaller bill and healthy mouth! Plus the location is beautiful overlooking the Kingston foreshore while getting work done. The human comforts ie blankets, headphones and coffee/juice. If you want a healthy beautiful smile Rick and his team will get you there

Oasis Dental

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for the review, just to be clear.. whilst our plan may have worked out cheaper than what you had been told, this is only because the diagnosed problems (and solutions) offered previously were incorrect and highlights that sometimes finding a "cheaper" dental practice may end up costing more (and causing unnecessary damage) in the long run. Anyhow, we are also glad you came here and offered us the chance to sort things out the right way.. I can't wait for the end results where we get to see the awesome outcome of the treatment.

Fantastic experience: Dr Rick and his team have been a godsend in addressing my complex dental & gum issues that were historically neglected in previous dentistry. This included compassionate assistance in times of financial stress. Dr Rick puts his patients health, first and foremost. A truly lovely team.

Oasis Dental

Hi Brad,

Thank you for the positive review and the long term loyal patronage as a patient. Everyone has some tough times now and then and we are glad we could be of some help to you during yours.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars all the way. Oasis Dental have an amazing team of skilled people working with you and your dental needs. I am quite an anxious person when visiting the dentist and have some complex dental needs. Dr Rick is very skilled and does amazing work. He honestly lets you know exactly what needs to be done and is now the only dentist I will ever use. The hygienist is amazing, friendly and thorough. And the reception staff are very accommodating. They get you in for emergencies and even shifting your appointment times when scheduling conflicts happen unexpectedly.

Fantastic experience: Rick and the team at Oasis go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable whilst providing the very best in dental care and restorative work. After years of being less that satisfied with previous dentists I am 100% happy with the results.

Isabella Cowell 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this dental practice. By far the best dental clinic I have had treatment at and I have lived in many cities in Australia and overseas. I have had a front tooth filled after a fall and it looked great. I then decided to have dental implants and was surprised that the cost was a lot cheaper than I thought. I am extremely happy with the implants. What I also like about this practice is the friendly staff. Dr Rick and everyone who works there are friendly, helpful, very professional and just lovely. Going to the dentist was something I really hated before but not anymore. It is now an experience that I enjoy! Never would have thought I would ever say that.

Oasis Dental

HI Isabella, Thank you so much for the positive review and commenting on the most important aspect, the clinical results. Patients such as yourself, where the transformation is more than just patching up a broken tooth, is always rewarding and I am so happy to have been able to not only fix your immediate problem but also help you to avoid those that we could see were about to happen!

Will R 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: As someone who's always been terrified about going to a Dentist, Dr Rick and his team have been a total change for me. Dr Rick actually listens to you, your history and your fears and takes it all into account when he treats you. He also does a full check of your dental status when you walk in and explains in layman's terms what is going on in your mouth - plus what that can mean for your current health. He then proposes a treatment which *you are able to change*. Dr Rick is a perfectionist - and will readily admit when something hasn't gone right and will fix it at his cost. Yes, they are on the pricier side, but I've never felt this comfortable with a Dentist.

Heather Ogilvie 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Oasis Dental have looked after me for many years and Rick has done an amazing job in repairing and restoring my teeth to good health. I feel so much more confidant now and realise the importance of good hygiene routines to keep them strong and feeling good. I would recommend Rick and his helpful staff to anyone needing a caring and understanding Dentist.

Oasis Dental

Hi Heather,

Both you and I remember the early days when I first took over Oasis Dental and you had all but given up on your teeth. Like all our patients you were able to see through all the marketing and sales hype normally used by dental practices and understand the need and value of rectifying your dental issues properly even though it was a significant investment. I think now, several years down the track we can both agree that we have achieved this outcome and your mouth and teeth are so much healthier and stable. Congratulations again and thank you for trusting me after so having much failed dental work in the past by others. I hope we have met and exceeded expectations.

Holly Carter 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Rick and the team are fantastic! Every aspect of the experience at Oasis is 5 star - from the day spa decor to the care that the team take to get to know their patients. I came to Oasis with a long history of bad dental work, and some terrible composite veneers. Rick removed the composite veneers and fitted 9 porcelain veneers just in time for my wedding, and replaced all of my cheap dental work saving some teeth that I thought were long gone. I can smile again!

Oasis Dental

Hi Holly,

Thank you Holly. You know we are as happy as you are in being able to save your teeth and helping you to keep them for ever. unfortunately some people still think that all dentists are the same and that cheaper means that those who price their work accordingly to outcome are just over charging. I am proud of you and all our patients in being able to see that this is definitely not the case. I am sure you would now agree that what you pay for is the outcome and that the outcome is all that matters. Thanks again.

Jeff Pearce 4 years ago

Negative experience: I went to Oasis Dental as it is super close to my home. I needed a check-up and clean and to get a replacement occlusal splint made up as I'd accidentally smashed my 10-year-old one while travelling. I didn't really expect too much else as I've always had pretty clean bills of health from my various dentists over the years (I travel a lot!). Instead, I was shocked to leave Oasis with a quotation for $6417 of additional work on a 'three visit treatment plan'. That figure didn't include the occlusal splint which was going to cost a further $1055. I sought a second opinion from a large and positively reviewed Canberra dental clinic. I was advised the treatments proposed by Oasis were largely unnecessary as my mouth-health was fine, and not even medically justified as preventative treatments. The second opinion did agree that one filling would need to be replaced and a more durable filling substance than resin would be appropriate, but that ceramic (as quoted by Oasis for $2383) may or may not be the most appropriate substance when the time came. In any event, replacement was not required at this time, and treatment options could be discussed when actually necessary, in the estimated timeframe of between 1 and 5 years. Oh and the occlusal splint with the identical item number cost me $821 instead of $1055. In fairness to Oasis, the premises and staff are lovely. Clearly, no expense has been spared on the fit-out. I only question whether the business model is similarly to spare no expense on patient billing.

Oasis Dental

Short, sweet and to the point. What else do we need to say? Thanks for the review Charles

Jared Hearn 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly service, talk you through everything and are always available for any questions, little bit pricey but you get the best service for it!

Oasis Dental

Thanks Jared, Thanks for the 5 star review and thanks for bringing up the fact that our prices are not the cheapest in town but that you get the best from us. You know the saying "Good isn't cheap, and cheap isn't good". I heard once that a professional charges what they feel their professional advice and expertise is worth - so if you are the cheapest dentist in town, what does that say you feel about the quality and value of your work?

Bruce Medcraft 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Being a dentist avoider at all costs, Oasis Dental have eased my concerns somewhat. From the time you walk through the door to be greeted by Melinda and then to be treated by Dr Rick and his crew. They provide a excellent service and follow-up to make sure everything went smoothly......

Oasis Dental

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the positive review and thanks for highlighting that we focus on the end result and outcome (as well as the service which is the cherry on top). We can't wait to finish all the work and show you the before and after photos..

Fantastic experience: Without hesitation I highly recommend Oasis Dental! All the staff go above and beyond to ensure you are completely looked after in the way that shows they generally care, taking the time to explain what’s going on and explain what’s going to happen to ensure the best for your future. I never thought I would say, going to a dentist could be an enjoyable experience, until being referred to Oasis Dental!

Richard Brookes 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been getting my teeth looked after by Oasis Dental for at least 10 years. In that time there have been a changes to the practice and the location but the level of attention to detail and service has not gone down. If you want to look after your teeth long term they have a great approach and philosophy and all the work that I have had has always been done with care (and minimal pain). Would highly recommend them.

Andrew Collins 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a customer of Oasis Dental for about 10 years. They also see my wife, kids and some friends. Throughout that entire time the whole team have been nothing short of excellent. Their attitude, care and concern for the current and future health and wellbeing of their patients is first class and obvious to see. Their rooms are comfortable and well appointed with excellent facilities and equipment. I do not hesitate to recommend Oasis Dental to everyone I know.

Oasis Dental

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the glowing review and like all our patients it is great that you mention the future health outcomes rather than just focusing on the immediate fixes. We hope to continue to watch you and your family maintain a healthy mouth and to be 1% of people that never lose any teeth!

David Costanzo 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The team at Oasis Dental have always displayed a level of professionalism and customer service that is truly second to none which is extremely refreshing in today's fast pace society. The staff always convey an extremely friendly and welcoming attitude which has made my experiences with them all the more pleasant. Would highly recommend you pay them a visit sooner rather than later.

Oasis Dental

HI David,

Thanks for the great review, we are always humbled by reviews from our relatively newer patients. We hope to work with you to become one of our long time patients...lol

Stacey Ward 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Rick was awesome. I was extremely scared of getting root canal but he stepped me through the whole process, & numbed the area completely so the procedure was pain free. Dr Rick chatted throughout the procedure, telling me stories & also popped Netflix on. His bedside manner was amazing. He put me at ease from the start and I knew I was in safe hands. The procedure was pleasant because Dr Rick provided such a warm, friendly & professional environment. I have the second stage of root canal coming up & I’m not worried at all because Dr Rick is a leader in his field & provides outstanding service. I’m finally comfortable with going to the dentist. A big thank you to Dr Rick & the team for looking after me with such care. Thank you. Regards, Stacey ward

Oasis Dental

Hi Stacey, Even though our initial meeting was not the most serendipitous we are always humbled by reviews from our new patients. Here's to helping you avoid any future root canal treatments or extractions so you can continue to not have to fear dentists!

Scott Perks 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: From start to finish my experience has been sensational. I’ve avoided dentists for the better part of 20 years, needing Root Canal I was quite anxious. Dr Rick and the team have made the whole experience fantastic, from the moment I walk in the door to when I leave. I would highly recommend Oasis Dental to anyone. Very happy I’ve found them.

Oasis Dental

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the positive review! You and I both know how much you LOVE going to the dentist so it means so much more to get a review from someone that we have helped to convince that us dentists aren't all bad...lol

Melissa Russhard 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Not your average dentist! Dr Rick is a perfectionist and expert who genuinely cares about his patients long term dental health. As a nervous patient, I really appreciated the time taken in consultation, the approach that considered everything not just the immediate problem, the honest and clear pricing, and the ongoing explanations throughout treatment. The results are amazing and I'm really pleased - the after care is also excellent. Well worth the money for this superior service, I wish all dentists were like this.

Oasis Dental

HI Melissa,

Thanks for the positive and detailed review. We are all glad to hear that like all our patients you see the value in seeking out quality treatment that achieves the end outcome rather than just having treatment for treatment's sake. As you know, it is more important to know why we are performing treatment than just fixing immediate problems in a patchy ad-hoc manner. We cant wait to see you completed mouth and to hear from you in years to come how healthy everything feels and looks!

Mark Campbell 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Oasis Dental is an excellent inner south Canberra dental practice that I regard highly. Dr Rick and the team are professional, caring and welcoming. Rick maintains a holistic approach to dental care and you can select several different options for the dental care you prefer. Highly recommended ! MC

Oasis Dental

HI Mark,

Sorry, I don't know how your review slipped by without my reply but better late than never! thanks for mentioning that each tooth relies on the others and that the mouth is connected to the rest of the body, a fact which many of my peers seem to disregard. Coming from such a discerning person as yourself your review is cherished.

Carrin Allan 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Visiting Oasis Dental has been the best experience I’ve ever had going to the dentist and that’s saying something... I’ve had the most invasive work done (multiple crowns) but felt no angst of any description, in fact just accepted it. Thanks Dr Rick for making my experience an acceptable one, not withstanding the fact that you’re fixing a lifetime of bad dentistry. I’m really looking forward to the end result

Oasis Dental

Thank you so much for the kind words Carrin, Like you I am eagerly awaiting the end result. As you know we are an outcome based dental practice and our success is measured in terms of the end outcome.

Nick Martin 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Rick took on my wife as a patient last year after she underwent dental procedures elsewhere that caused her immense pain and needed fixing. She was highly anxious about seeing a new dentist but felt comfortable with Dr Rick as he has extensive knowledge of dentistry and could clearly explain the situation and the best ways to proceed. He is continuing to treat my wife and we have been highly impressed by the level of professional service and caring nature of all the staff at Oasis Dental. Thank you Dr Rick and the rest of the team at your practice.

Oasis Dental

Hi Nick,
Thank you for the review and positive feedback. Both you and Rachelle know that I was as mortified as you to see the work performed and the extent of pain Rachelle was in when she first presented. I am glad I was able to help and my regret was not meeting you both prior to the initial dental work being performed. I must also thank Rachelle for being a great patient and welcome you all to our Oasis Dental family.

Beth Noel 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Rick has done a great job in rectifying poor dental work done by previous dentists in a painless and efficient way. Thanks so much!

Oasis Dental

HI Beth,

Wow! how far we have come in such a short time. I remember your first consultation and your phobia and fear of dentists. Now you are another one of our walking success stories and I am glad to have played a part in getting your mouth back to being healthy. I also commend you on writing a review that reflects the outcome of the dental work you have received from me rather than a review that comments on how 'nice' we all are at Oasis Dental. After all, being nice is well ... nice. but good dental work is what you come for and the outcome we know ALL our patients and other dental patients really want, need and deserve. Respect for our patients and good dental outcomes, that is what we are trying to deliver. Once again, thanks for the positive review and thank you for being to the point and concise..

Alvaro Ramos (Al Ramos) 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've found Rick to be frank, knowledgeable, considerate & flexible throughout my very comprehensive treatment program which was forced on me due to another very urgent health challenge. Unexpectedly, Rick & his team reached out to me during & after my other health issue, demonstrating a genuine care for me as a member of the Oasis Community. I particularly value Rick's educative style so I always feel I'm making well informed decisions.

Oasis Dental

Hi Alvaro,

Thank you so much for the positive review. I am so glad I was able to help you with your teeth as you dealt with your other health concern, and I commend you on being able to listen to logic and follow your instincts even in though other experts did not echo my sentiments. I truly appreciate that you see the value in the dental work we provided and that most importantly it was not just to save teeth but to ensure a positive outcome and continued quality of life. You are and always will be a big part of our Oasis Dental family.

Jillian Clark 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have had excellent care at Oasis Dental

Oasis Dental

Hi Jillian,

Thanks for the positive review and being concise and to the point. As we have commented before, we are really appreciative that your review is less about how nice we all are than the level of care we have provided. At Oasis Dental we believe the most important thing we can do is to deliver positive dental outcomes to our patients and to help them keep their teeth for life.

Tania Dahl 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient of Dr Ricks for over 6 years now. The innovative & caring approach to his dentistry not only gets results, it’s followed up by his professional approach , knowledge & compassion to his patients. The staff @ Oasis also reflect these same qualities. As a family, we all see Dr Rick, I would not trust any other dentists in Canberra. Keep Smiling

Oasis Dental

HI Tania,

Thank you so much for the positive review. As you know your words about our primary goal of getting positive results for our patients and earning your (and your family's) trust mean so much more to us than a review about how nice we are, which unfortunately we know is how most people choose their dentist and why we see so many people with less than favourable dental outcomes. Trust and positive dental outcomes is far more valuable and again we thank you for the positive words and review.

Andrew Mason 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I chose Oasis after my original dentist retired and based on his recommendation. I have never regretted the move. I am from the demographic whose dental care was far removed from the modern approach that is exemplified by Oasis. I had a large number of old amalgam fillings that were progressively splitting my teeth. Oasis introduced me to a program of removing the old filings and substituting caps. The benefit to me was immediately obvious. With Dr Ric at Kingston, I enthusiastically took up the scheme he offered whereby 3 to 4 teeth were capped in a single 4 hour session. The financial benefit to the patient is clear, instead of doing each tooth in separate sessions. Not only that, but Dr Ric was able to help me deal with my ‘annoying’ gag reflex. He and his team have given me the confidence to undertake a wholistic approach to a dental upgrade. I have also taken up the yearly program comprising 3 monthly cleaning with its inclusive benefits relating to xrays, examination by Dr Ric and warranty coverage of the caps. A forward thinking practice with well qualified and friendly staff and a principal dentist who is always interested in his patients on-going well-being. Thanks Oasis !!

Oasis Dental

Hi Andrew,

Wow! thank you for taking the time to leave us such a glowing and long review. As you are already aware at Oasis Dental we are focused on getting all of our patients a positive dental outcome, not just for today or tomorrow but for the rest of their lives. Thank you also in pointing out that we have not accepted the current Status Quo of the dental industry and rather than just charging our patients for the amount of work they need, we are focused on working with our patients to try to ensure that we can achieve the long term positive dental outcomes in the most efficient, economical and productive manner we can. Can we hire you as a spokesperson?? only kidding...

Pete Cohn 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Rick aand his team have the most amazing care for their dental patients one can imagine. Their technical knowledge and attention to to detail is extradordinary and absolutely nothing is missed. Rick's concern for his patient's long term dental wellbeing is unprecedented in my experience of being a dental patient elsewhere. I truly trust their professional judement - so much so that I travel more than 4 hours in a day just for a routine appointment.Thankyou Oasis for my dental peace of mind.

Oasis Dental

Hi Peter,

Thank you for the positive review and thank you for being such an exemplary Oasis Dental patient. Like all our patients your words echo a true understanding of what is sorely needed in our profession, more emphasis on the long term dental outcomes, knowledge and technical expertise, rather than focusing on the less tangible and subjective comments on how nice a dentist is, being nice is a crucial element in being a healthcare provider but attention to detail and focusing on the long term positive outcomes is really why our Oasis Dental patients, keep coming back and have so much healthier mouths than anyone else's

Garry Beauchamp 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been receiving treatment at Oasis Dental over the past two years. It is by far the most professional dental practice we have ever experienced. It starts on entering the practice where the always friendly and helpful reception staff welcome you, offer coffee etc and ask what movie (from the lengthy program list) you wish to watch whilst being treated. Dr Rick doesn't commence any treatment program until he has photographed and closely examined your teeth. He recommends the actions required and gives a detailed and accurate costing. We have both had a number of crowns done, with an implant to come. Dr Rick is a real professional, a perfectionist in everything he does. As an example, on reviewing one crown he did, he was not completely satisfied with the fit so he redid it at no extra cost. After doing the work, Rick ensures it is maintained by regular cleaning appointments with his brilliant dental hygienist. In summary, this is a unique, high quality, extremely professional in all ways with very friendly staff.

Oasis Dental

HI Gary,

Thank you for detailed and honest review. I even thank you for the comment about the crown that I performed that was not up to my standards. It is really helpful to others that may be reading this review to know that at Oasis Dental we stand behind our commitment to achieve the best possible outcome for our patients, and this includes having to redo or replace our own work if it is not up to scratch, and as you know we will point this out to you, rather than waiting for our patient to feel pain then making an excuse. Thanks also for emphasising the importance of the ongoing management of the dental disease and the need for continuing focus on oral hygiene.

Shawn McIntyre 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly personalised, wholistic approach to patient outcomes. Dr Rick is an elite dental practitioner whom we are fortunate to have access to in Canberra. His mastery of the technical craft, ability to listen to a patients needs and the way he forms a ‘master plan’ to provide certainty and clarity around one’s dental health is truly elite. Coupled with down to earth understanding of financial, lifestyle and time pressures faced by families, and a superb support staff from reception to hygienics and maintenance expertise, Oasis Dental is the modern benchmark, a shining example of how all medical practice should be carried out. Thank you Dr Rick Luu and staff! Shawn and family, clients for more than 10 years.

Werner Pohl 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Rick is awesome. growing up i developed a significance of fear of dentists, now that fear is gone. i have been to Oasis for four major sittings, for significant dental i required due to the aggressive nature of childhood dentistry i encountered 40 years ago,and i could not be happier with the results. werner

Oasis Dental

Hi Werner, Thanks so much for the positive review, as you already know, we love seeing you and your family and are as happy as you that we have been able to fix your dental problems, not only for the short term but more definitively going forwards. I think we both remember clearly your first consultation with us and I am so proud of how far you have come and what we have achieved!!

Eric Lee 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Rick was very helpful and made the process very simple and comforting - i highly recommend Rick and the Oasis team! - thanks again :)
