Fantastic experience: Dr Douglas is amazing! Highly recommend this practice!! The staff are so helpful and super friendly!
Fantastic experience: I saw Selah and she was so patient listening to my complaints and sorting things out for me. I have always enjoyed my visits with her and will continue seeing her.
Fantastic experience: Impeccable professional dental care of the highest standard in stark contrast to other dentists I have utilised elsewhere. Sandra’s gentle touch in the course of extracting a resistant embedded molar was painless, seamless and absent any apprehension of woe. I cannot recommend her and her team’s care more highly . And this is a bullshit-free assessment by a quite picky lawyer who is more than familiar with the widely varying standards of a range of other health practitioners. Top grade dental treatment!
Fantastic experience: Top shelf care. The entire experience gave me full confidence that I was in the best hands. Polite, informative and relaxed style with a friendly reception in a beautifully appointed suite.
Fantastic experience: Caring and professional

Fantastic experience: Dr Doug is the best! I followed him from the last practice he worked at and now many of my friends use him too. I love that he's so honest and he doesn't believe in "preventative fillings". Ask for him..
Fantastic experience: Follow up consultation nearly 2 years after having a dental implant. Dr Douglas Lo is a thorough and professional dentist and is highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Over the past four years, Dr. Douglas Lo has done three dental implants for me, and now I’ve started the process for the fourth one. I’m very satisfied with the quality of his services, and the prices are also reasonable
Fantastic experience: Very respectful and curtious staff and excellent service, didn't feel a thing and maintenance of teeth is first class at good prices.
Fantastic experience: The team at Gentle Dental Care Double Bay are exceptional, the care taken and the explanation of the work carried out is outstanding, and I would recommend them to anyone who needs just a filling or something a little more complicated like myself
Fantastic experience: The team at Gentle Gentle are unfailingly polite, respectful and client focussed. Sela the hygienist is fabulous and thorough.I have only even seen Dr Short as a patient and she is without question the most competent and skilled dentist I have ever been to. She explains every treatment and the reason for it in clear and easy to understand detail. I feel completely informed about her recommendations and always confident in her practice and procedures. I have never had a bad experience and I have had everything from check ups crowns and extractions
Fantastic experience: This is my second visit and the service from the moment you enter the dentist practice is of highly standards, from the nurses to the doctors. Their genuine willingness for their patients to get well, explaining every step is top notch. Highly suggested dentist practice.
Fantastic experience: Gentle Dental Care provide excellent service with a caring touch. Their team is professional, friendly, and goes out of their way to make patients feel comfortable. The clinic is modern, well-equipped, and offers sedation options for nervous patients like me,which makes a big difference. Overall, a great experience with with Dr Lo. Not all dentrist are the same, Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Best Dentist in Sydney
Fantastic experience: They are always perfect, thank you ☺️
Fantastic experience: I have unfortunately had dental work done all over the world and at many different dentists in Sydney until I met Dr Sandra Short. Besides being the most lovely, kind and caring women; She is also a brilliant dentist- very gentle, very knowledgeable & has fixed up all mistakes made by previous dentists. Now that I have found Dr Short,I wouldn't trust my teeth, nor my peace of mind with anyone else!
Fantastic experience: Have been going to Gentle Dental Care for a while now, always been really well looked after by Selah and Doug! Very thorough in their checks and are always making sure that you feel comfortable. Would recommend to anyone
Fantastic experience: This morning I had the pleasure of seeing dental hygienist Selah Choi for the first time. My visit was not without trepidation as after losing my dentist of thirty years in unfortunate circumstances I found the process of finding a replacement very challenging. There is a vibe about Double Bay not found in other suburbs and this is no less true for dental surgeries than for other businesses. After trawling the suburb in search of the high oral ground Gentle Dental was on top of my shortlist and will remain so whilever Selah Choi remains on the payroll. Her knowledge and professionalism are complemented by a gentle manner and touch which in combination immediately put one at one's ease. The service provided is thorough while studiously avoiding any unnecessary "extras" which ensures an affordable experience so you are able to flash your enhanced smile rather than copious quantities of cash. The surgery is friendly and welcoming making one's visit pleasant from beginning to end. Thank you Selah. Greatly appreciated. - Charlie Henry
Fantastic experience: Truly keep up to their name! Gentle, thorough and extremely professional. Cannot rate more highly.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service
Fantastic experience: Everyone at this clinic is truly gentle like their name :) I visited the clinic due to a slightly chipped my tooth, and Dr. Lo was able to fix it quickly and effortlessly. They provide exceptionally kind and professional care. Both the dental services and the environment are of the highest quality. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking treatment without any anxiety.

Fantastic experience: Love Doug and Sela’s fabulous care and attention to my concerns and teeth. Highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful dental clinic and Doctor Short was so thorough, careful and kind when she worked on my teeth. Best dental experience I've ever had and I've had many
Fantastic experience: The team at Gentle Dental Care Double Bay are exceptional in every aspect. Professional Punctual and both reasonable and fair in terms of costs. Dr Douglas Lo’s experience and clinical skill in regards to providing dental implants is unmatched in my opinion. If you want to have an experience where you feel safe and one which delivers lasting results that are nothing short of outstanding you cannot find a better specialist implant dentist and support crew of hygienists and dental nurses than Dr Douglas Lo and his team at Gentle Dental Care Double Bay. Absolutely five stars. I cannot recommend highly enough. JC, December 2024
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Gentle Dental for over 15 years. Their team of specialists are exceptional, caring, kind and experts in their field. My entire family has had complex dental procedures performed. We will not go anywhere else for dental treatment.
Fantastic experience: Gentle dental are incredibly professional , kind & offer a service like no other. I generally have never been good at dentists but Dr Lo & team make you feel comfortable & talk you through every step of their treatments . I can highly recommend from my own experience .
Fantastic experience: Sensational. So friendly and professional.
Fantastic experience: Prior to my dentist appointment, I felt apprehensive, but Dr Douglas alleviated my concerns by providing a thorough explanation of the procedure, rendering it easily comprehensible. A sinus lift was necessary, and surprisingly, the only sensation I experienced was a gentle tapping. Upon completion, I was astonished at the brevity of the procedure. The experience was characterized by professionalism, and the dentist's voice was notably calming. Having previously postponed the tooth implant, I am now reassured that it was a pleasant experience.
Fantastic experience: Trully professional dentists! Competitive prices. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Had my teeth cleaned by their Dental Hygienist, Selah . Her kindness and gentleness, is admirable and commendable.By GOD's grace, I was very satisfied and happy.

Showed me how to brush my teeth and gums correctly, explained and answered my questions really well. I felt really good with her services and would highly recommend her practise. Very thankful to GOD for a job well done. Many thanks Selah. Glory to GOD .

Fantastic experience: Great experience with amazing customer service. Very impress with service.
Fantastic experience: Very caring and professional..thank you
Fantastic experience: Gentle Dental care at Double Bay is THE best Dental Care venue I've ever been too! Dr Sandra Short is truly a brilliant dentist. My mouth was in a bad way in early 2022 and I was down to just 19 teeth as a result of many issues including intense fear of going to the dentist, needles, drilling and all the things most people dislike. Dr Short has been a Dental godsend....she introduced me to the current methods of sedation and relaxants for Dental treatment, cured my fear of the dentist chair forever and over the course of 12 months, she repaired every remaining natural tooth, provided crowns and implants and as a result, I now have a full set of teeth, minus back molars, that are clean, white...and permanent ..she gave me back my smile! Dr Selah is a great Dental hygienist who has made having cleans a breeze! The caring support staff are also just as amazing and have wonderful chair side manner! The whole team had done wonders for me, given me a new set of teeth to make me happy and confident to smile with! As far I'm concerned, Gental Dental is the premier place to go for the nest care and dental treatment. I can't recommend them highly enough! Thanks Gental Dental!
Fantastic experience: Sandra & her dental nurse went above & beyond for me today. I discovered a hole in my tooth & it’s Christmas Eve . Made a call & the staff opened the practice up & saw me within an hour. Filled & cleaned the nasty hole & now I can enjoy Christmas. Thank you so much for the wonderful care you show your patients. Regards Maria
Fantastic experience: The gentle team are always extremely kind , welcoming & very professional. I can’t recommend Dr Lo highly enough.
Fantastic experience: The best dental clean ever. Selah always goes above and beyond. I was a patient in many different practices in Australia and abroad but no one ever thought me so many important things as Selah and Dr Douglas. Saved me a lot of money and possible future dental issues. I cannot imagine going anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: DR Douglas is simply the master of Dentistry. He is kind, compassionate and takes great pride in his work. Dr Douglas is very informative and a pure professional in his field. AAA+ Highly recommended to all. Facilities are 1st Class.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Dr. Douglas Lo at Gentle Dental Care Double Bay was nothing short of exceptional. From my initial consultation through the final crown placement, every step of my dental implant procedure was handled with the highest level of professionalism and care. Dr. Lo's expertise in modern implant technology is particularly impressive. He utilizes cutting-edge techniques, including a specialized titanium energizing process that promotes optimal bone integration - a method I learned was actually part of his thesis research. This commitment to staying at the forefront of dental technology clearly shows in his practice. The procedure itself was remarkably comfortable. From the tooth extraction to the implant placement and final crown fitting, each step was executed with precision. The crown fit perfectly on the first try, which I understand isn't always the case with implants. What truly sets Dr. Lo apart is his gentle approach and excellent communication skills. Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed about what he was doing, explaining each step in detail and answering all my questions with patience and clarity. What I particularly appreciated was his honesty about treatment options. Rather than pushing for specific solutions, he thoroughly explained what was possible and what wasn't, helping me make an informed decision about my dental care. His approachable demeanor made it easy to discuss concerns and ask questions. The practice itself is modern and well-equipped, complementing Dr. Lo's advanced techniques. The entire staff at Gentle Dental Care Double Bay maintains high standards of professionalism and patient care. I would highly recommend Dr. Douglas Lo to anyone needing dental implant work. His combination of technical expertise, gentle approach, and commitment to continuing education in dental advances makes him stand out in his field. The perfect result of my implant procedure is a testament to his skill and dedication to excellence in dentistry.
