Laser + Holistic Dental: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I had a very good experience here! My teeth felt much cleaner after. Dr Kevin was friendly, very thorough and professional, and there was barely any pain. The team are also very kind and friendly. Would be coming back again for future appointments
Fantastic experience: Exceptional service and attention to detail from a very knowledgeable team. I’ve been so impressed by the level of care and expertise. I feel confident that I’m in very capable hands.
Fantastic experience: My 10-year-old son started his holistic Invisalign treatment with Dr Ghada El Sayed a few months ago, and the results have been truly spectacular. Not only has his smile improved aesthetically, but we’ve seen remarkable functional benefits as well. His breathing has improved, his jaw is developing beautifully, and his overall oral posture and facial growth have benefited from this holistic approach. He sleeps better, his lips stay closed naturally, and even his confidence has grown. I also love that Invisalign is so much better than having metal glued to their teeth. It’s more discreet, more comfortable, and so much easier for kids to maintain good oral hygiene. Plus, it avoids any issues related to metal sensitivity, which was important for us. We are so impressed with this new way of treating young patients—focusing on long-term health, growth, and breathing, not just straightening teeth—that our 7-year-old daughter is now beginning her own Holistic Invisalign journey with Dr Ghada as well. We couldn’t be happier with the care, the philosophy, and the results. Highly recommend this clinic and Dr Ghada El Sayed to any parent wanting a healthier, future-focused path for their children’s dental development!
Fantastic experience: Dr Lisa Matriste and team, hats off to them! Thorough, proactive and holistic, using the very best technologies, methods, materials and specialists to provide comprehensive dental and health solutions. Best of all they listen to you as the patient and do not just go by what's seen, but also what's felt. Great understanding, intuition, empathy and experience goes a very long way and is priceless. Very grateful to L&HD after what's been for me a misunderstood, complex case, and a long round about journey, of not being heard or understood by many others in the profession.
Fantastic experience: The Best Care & A Beautiful Team They rlly, rlly do prac what they preach here !!!! I’ve had the privilege + pleasure of receiving two sessions so far. To pin-point a dentistry w/ a true backbone of holism is a tricky one… Even in Melb. ~ Dr. Lisa spotted, and fully-filled the gap in the market.
Fantastic experience: My experience at Laser + Holistic Dental was very positive and gratifying. The comprehensive treatment modalities offered at the practice are very advanced and focus on effective rehabilitation, biocompatibility, and wellness. The team are professional and caring practitioners who provide effective, gentle dental treatment and excellent follow up care.
Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked into the practice, I felt confident I was in the right place. The staff were kind and professional and the practice offers a serene holistic environment with excellent follow up care. I was given comprehensive advice on how best to treat my ongoing TMJ (jaw dysfunction) The use of advanced laser therapy to address the acute jaw discomfort and muscle spasm helped significantly. The laser reduces pain and inflammation and increases mobility of the jaw joint while preventing scar tissue formation. The experience was gentle, effective and reassuring. I highly recommend this practice.
Fantastic experience: I was so embarrassed and stressed out with my swollen lip from a cold sore and found out that laser treatment can fix it quickly and painlessly! It gets even better when I learned that the laser also helps prevent future outbreaks - Thank you so much Laser+Holistic Dental - I'll be able to do my photoshoot and podcast now - You're AMAZING
Fantastic experience: I received amazing care before, during, and after dental treatment. My cavitation surgery has been life changing. Thank you Dr Mitali and the team at Laser + Holistic Dental!
Fantastic experience: Very pleased with my experience. Friendly and professional
Negative experience: Just don’t.
Fantastic experience: Strongly recommend Laser + Holistic Dental for all your dental needs. Very informational and detailed. They spend the time to sit down with you and answer all your questions, providing several options for you to choose which pathway you are most comfortable with. Dr Mitali Syamal in particular provided exceptional services and cannot recommend her highly enough. Please consider their services and asking for Dr Mitali Syamal in particular!
Fantastic experience: Laser and Holistic Dental is the only way to go! I flew in from Tasmania, spend 5 hrs in the treatment chair and by far the best dentist experience in my entire life! Thanks Kevin!
Fantastic experience: Dr Simon Javasi is extremely reliable, with a pleasant and professional nature. Always explains procedures clearly. Would recommend anyone attending for dentistry work with Simon.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Nida has been doing invisalign treatment on me and my son at LHD and I couldn't be happier with the quality of treatment she is providing. Dr. Nida is not only skilled but also takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. Their attention to detail and commitment to patient comfort are outstanding. Highly recommended!!!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend the professional work of the team at Laser & Holistic Dental. The use of state of the art dental practice and laser equipment provides an experience of dental care and treatment ike no other dental practice. The laser dental clean is very thorough and maintains healthy gums and teeth. The team are very supportive and through their client centred approach they consider the best options of treatments available. My complex dental plan treatment has been very successful thanks to the amazing work of Dr Lisa, Dr Mitali and the team.
Fantastic experience: Have been coming to this clinic for years, always a positive experience. The staff are very nice and knowledgeable. Recently had the PIPS laser clean, which I thought would be painful but it was actually a very comfortable appointment! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: First class all round. Lisa is very inspiring, generous & friendly and all the dentists & nurses are very professional. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I had my first in person consult at Laser and Holistic today and honestly I left feeling happier and nourished (said no one ever leaving the dentist). I felt so looked after, so supported as I learnt I have some major dental work needed. My initial clean was painless and the girls were just delightful. I literally told my whole family they need to change dentists :)
Fantastic experience: LASER WHITENING! Wow my teeth look fantastic and no sensitivity, very happy with results. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Love this dental practice and everything about it! A real alternative with the newest research that has been put into the materials used and technology. Caitlin Kimpton-Forde the clinical coordinator is amazing with the highest level of empathy to patients and understanding of procedures. My dental nurse who was with me at every appointment is so experienced and knowledgeable. Thankyou!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had mercury fillings removed and also teeth whitening from Laser Holistic Dental. Thrilled with the results! Also what really impresses me is the customer service. I get treated so well every time I come (from all staff), they take the time to explain to me what’s happening before during and after. Excellent professionalism. Also I feel they are super up to date with the latest dental advancements at laser & holisitic.
Fantastic experience: After recently having an involved dental procedure done at this clinic, I am of the belief it is an extremely professional and ethical dental practice, with patient care their main focus. Dr Nida Parveen conscientiously and meticulously performed my procedure in a thoroughly attentive, caring and considerate way. Beforehand, Korana thoroughly, patiently and plainly explained the entire procedure that was to be undertaken, and made sure I understood. It was a delight to be cared for by Caitlin, for whom nothing was too much trouble. Caitlin generously and comprehensively answered all my questions on the treatment protocols being undertaken. And, I really do believe the laser and holistic treatments used, aided my healing process. Phoenix and Jercyl were unfailingly helpful and obliging in organizing everything for my treatment plan. Lovely to deal with. I was impressed with everyone I dealt with. Overall, the clinic has a beautiful atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: I have been a Laser + Holistic Dental patient for over seven years and couldn't be happier with their work! The team have always looked after me and made me feel very comfortable.I highly recommend this clinic, I wouldn't consider going anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Super kind and caring clinic. Not only in the chair, but was worried I might get a parking ticket because my appointment ran over - they offered to move my car! If you don’t like going to the dentist, see this team. They will look after you :)
Fantastic experience: This clinic came highly recommended by a good friend. After years of avoiding the dentist I finally bit the bullet! Very caring and welcoming staff - I felt looked after and listened to. On the expensive side but worth it - I’ll be back.
Fantastic experience: All dental and support staff were extremely compassionate and caring. I truly felt looked after and valued during my double extraction. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: A great experience with routine dental care, wisdom teeth removal, and Invisalign over the 10+ years of being a patient here. All of the products used in the clinic are carefully chosen based on research and best health outcomes, unlike conventional dentists. Dr. Lisa & her staff are friendly and answer any questions you have.
Fantastic experience: I visited Laser + Holistic Dental due to nerve damage, mouth, and gum injuries I sustained from a car accident. Having been reluctant to visit dentists over the years, I was in dire need of dental care. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I was greeted by elegant decor that perfectly complemented the warm and friendly professionalism of the receptionist, dental nurse Phoenix, and Dr. Eagan Verma. Both Phoenix and Dr. Verma provided me with exceptional care of the highest quality. They attentively addressed all of my concerns and managed to make the entire experience truly enjoyable. In particular, the intense clean they performed on my teeth was unparalleled. I have never before experienced such precision and quality in dental care. My mouth felt completely rejuvenated, as if it were brand new. Throughout my past dental experiences, including living in London and visiting dentists in different countries, I have never encountered such outstanding quality of care. Laser + Holistic Dental surpassed all my expectations. If you find yourself hesitating, I highly recommend at least giving your teeth a thorough clean and X-ray at this clinic. It is truly worth it. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Verma, Phoenix, and the entire dream team at Laser + Holistic Dental. Their expertise and commitment to providing exceptional dental care are truly commendable. I am extremely satisfied with the results and will definitely be returning for any future dental needs.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff and very care and honest The manager Chrissy is amazing Highly Recommended
Fantastic experience: Laser + Holistic Dental Melbourne is located near the Prahran Market. Super convenient with free parking outside the practice. I have been coming here for many years. The front desk staff makes you feel right at home immediately when you walk in the door. The office is run very smoothly and efficiently. I had amazing experiences with Dr Elias Aronis and Daniel Ta, the Dental Technician. They take time to answer questions and I never feel rushed. Dr Elias is a highly experienced holistic dentist and has taken such good care of my teeth. I was overwhelmed with how thorough Dr Elias works. I have been nervous all my life about going to the dentist but when I came to Laser + Holistic Dental, the hygienist Daniel, and Korona made me feel so comfortable. They are kind and gentle and have taken years of dental fears away. They provide recommendations without any pressure. The staff is very helpful and upfront with all costs and services provided. The best dental care I have ever experienced with their progressive dental technologies, and very keen eyes on details. Extremely professional, courteous, respectful and friendly staff that makes me feel cared for from the moment I enter the practice. They always go out of their way to take care of me! They actually really care! Undoubtedly the best dental-related experience I’ve ever had. Would highly recommend to anyone. Five stars!
Fantastic experience: First visit to a dentist in over 20 years. I felt heard, the staff are kind, and present. Such a lovely customer experience from the moment you step onto the premises to when you leave. Thank you.
Negative experience: The worst dental experience I ever had. It was very costly and within a short period 4 veneers broke and for quite sometime that work has cost me immeasurably.
Negative experience: The worst and most traumatising dentist experience of my life.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful service, very friendly and caring staff. I fly my daughter down from Brisbane for 2nrich orthodontics specifically. The treatment has been successful and now she doesn't need jaw surgery.
Fantastic experience: Turned up after a long absence from the dentist, so was a little nervous, chose the right place! Staff were all amazing from reception to dentists. Got great treatment, won’t leave it so long next time.
Fantastic experience: Had two wisdom teeth taken out here and the procedures went really well. Staff are friendly and willing to help with any regards. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I have recently moved to Laser + Holistic Dental after following my amazing dental nurse Caitlin from her previous practice. I had my first check and clean and it was an amazing, painless and quick experience. The staff make you feel so comfortable and cared for and they made sure to address all the concerns I had. Luiba and Caitlin were 2 of the best that have ever worked on my teeth! I feel so lucky to have finally found a dentist I actually enjoy going to!
Negative experience: It is regrettable, to say the least, that I feel compelled to leave a review as I am typically not one to do so, although I personally do rely on others’ feedback to make decisions particularly when it comes to navigating health professionals in a new city. Having initially booked the appointment for painful TMJ issues, I was consoled with a myriad of up-selling techniques for (vanity) procedures that would do little to ease my current pain. After requesting an X-ray to determine the more pressing matter at hand, they suggested I needed a referral to an oral specialist and only when I suggested that we should possibly wait for the specialists report from the X-rays before proceeding with any cosmetic procedures did the dentist sheepishly agree leaving me to feel as though they were clearly more interested in ensuring I locked myself into a long term financial commitment prior to the specialists report. The dentist proceeded to inform me that I only required 1 filling which I had to ask twice ‘are you sure?’ As my interstate (regular) dentist implored me to get 4 done asap. A second opinion at a different clinic last week confirmed this. I’ve had 2 (no show) follow up telephone appointments and yet to get a call back to attempt to book a 3rd time for the dentist to simply call me and provide my records so that I can go to the specialist (and elsewhere). More than $800 for an initial 45 minute consultation and no professional care thereafter. Please, buyer beware. January 2023
Fantastic experience: I’ve never had such a wonderful positive experience with a dentist in my life (57 years young). All the staff here including the administration team are caring and professional. They communicate with each other the client’s needs. The dental assistant and the dentist explain every procedure prior to administering it. They give you options to manage your anxiety as well. I chose the Nitrous oxide (happy gas) which made my experience a relaxed one. (Usually I’m tense & flinch at everything). Liuba showed me my before and after photos and explained what was done and also the Laser clean. I will be back to have done. I highly recommend this dental team to everyone.
Fantastic experience: Had the best experience ! Had a clean and my gums have been so much better since then . Looking forward to starting my journey to healthier me
Fantastic experience: I have my fillings done at Laser + Holistic Dental about three years ago and the fillings are still doing extremely well. I became a regular patient coming for check ups and clean ever since. Always provide great after treatment care!
Fantastic experience: The best dental experience I have ever encountered! The staff are so friendly and extremely professional. My treatment plan was arranged and I am so happy with the outcome. I also had a clean and polish which was extremely thorough yet painless because of the care the practice takes. I cannot rate this practice more highly.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and knowledgeable dentists. I would highly recommend this place
Fantastic experience: I had my teeth cleaned and got a couple of fillings done at Laser and Holistic Dental. Extremely happy with the result. Very professional staff, they were friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I'm incredibly grateful for all the support at Laser & Holistic Dental !!! I have my smile back ... Literally !!! This practice was highly recommended when I was in pain from another dentist's work. Dr Lisa Matriste compassionately & skillfully sorted out the situation & I knew I'd discovered an extraordinary place to confidentally approach ongoing dental care. Fast forward & I've recently had substantial emergency dental work, as well as extensive 'catch up' maintenance with Dr Sutanter Wander & I am incredibly grateful for the results !!! All the staff have been caring & attentive to my many questions & they've even assisted me with an in-house payment plan. An extremely dedicated holistic practice !!!
Fantastic experience: Had the best laser clean with Liuba, very gentle and always asking for feedback making me feel super comfortable. Nurse was wonderful and friendly along with the administration team. Very happy :-)
Fantastic experience: I've been a patient since 2016 and delighted with the expertise & professionalism provided first by Lisa & more recently Eshan over 20+ visits for crowns, extractions & regular cleaning. My dental health is much improved thanks to Lisa, Eshan & the team and has improved my general health noticeably. I recommend the dental practice unreservedly.
Fantastic experience: Every 6 months I have a teeth cleaning at the dentist and this time Daniel took care of me. It was a great experience. I am usually very nervous when I go to the dentist and this time, I was a little more nervous because it was the first time I had a laser cleaning. He explained every step of the procedure and was very patient with me which made me feel calmer, he also stopped every time it was necessary. It was a very good experience.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lisa and team make dental checkups less stressful purely through their hard work and enduring professionalism. I know when I see them I'm in good hands, keep up the good work
Fantastic experience: Dr Eshan Verma is exceptionally good at what he does and has up to date dental practices , I highly recommend Eshan to all my family and friends to see him.
Negative experience: It's been a while but I wasn't able to give a review. I was treated by Dr. Lisa Matriste. On the start I really trusted her and was happy to have found a holistic dentist. Dr.Lisa totally ruined two teeth that I ended up losing and causing a lot of pain. My overall health has suffered greatly. She only sees the $ but nothing more. She talks a lot but doesn't put it into practice. She charged me much more at the end of what was agreed.She never responded to my emails or phone calls. I just want to warn other suffering people about her.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant Service and such a professional and courteous attitude. I highly recommend Holistic Dental as a first choice!
Fantastic experience: The best experience I have ever had. Lisa and team thank you so much. Korana and Daniel the A team so much love xxxx
Fantastic experience: HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Excellent Holistic practice. Staff are really friendly and kind. they really take the trauma out of dental appointments! very happy with the work they do!!!!!
Fantastic experience: Great service. Dentists are highly experienced very professional! My whole family visits this practice, everyone is very pleased with the work they offer. Dr Su did a great job with Mom's fillings. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I just had my teeth cleaned by Dr Eshan and Sowmya using EMS AIRFLOW® technology. Big thumbs up The most comfortable clean ever! No numbing gel needed!
Fantastic experience: Well presented practice ,Very professional services . Dr Su takes the time to explain the procedure , started with my Invisalign treatment and very satisfied with outcome ...
Fantastic experience: I have been coming laser and holistic dental for more than 10 years. I've had all my wisdom teeth removed here as well as a root canal and cap for my tooth. I've always been very happy with the exceptional care provided and have recommended laser and holistic dental to my extended circle of friends as well.
Negative experience: Don't be fooled by the word "holistic". They are extremely trigger happy when it comes to x-rays. They're not normal dental x-rays either, they use CBCT which exposes you to a much higher rate of radiation. They neglected to inform me of this when they told me my 8 year old daughter needed an x-ray for orthodontic work, and it was best to have it done sooner rather than later. I didn't realise they used the CBCT until later when they emailed me her scans to forward to the orthodontist. The orthodontist recommended waiting until she was older to see if she actually needed any work done. So she was exposed to all that radiation for no reason. I'm so angry as we only started going here because we thought as it was a holistic dental practice, it would be more inclined to avoid all the toxic products traditional dentist use.
Fantastic experience: Laser and Holistic Dental is the only dental clinic I will use for my family. I have had several major treatments and some minor ones over the last four months. Each visit I am treated with a high level of respect and care from all staff members. Dr Su is phenomenal, she has shown so much patience with my nervousness toward dental work and I have finally reached a point where I feel confident in being in the chair! Dr Su, is not only knowledgeable, professional and caring but also deeply ethical in her dental practice. Dr Su, got me out of chronic dental pain and to a point where I no longer require pain relief medication as I have zero pain or sensitivity. I trust Dr Su to also treat my two young children. I highly recommend this practice.
Fantastic experience: Fully satisfied with the clinic services. Very friendly and caring staff, Dr Su is very talented, professional and highly knowledgeable, Highly recommended!!
Positive experience: This is no ordinary dental clinic. I have a thyroid autoimmune disease. Prior to being treated here, my antibody count had been extremely high for the previous year. A thorough diagnosis was made with a 3D conical scan of my teeth and jaw. I had deep infection where I had a root canal 9 years earlier. My tooth was removed with lots of care including no fluoride as it is very harmful to my thyroid. As my gum and jaw healed my antibody count reduced from over 1300 to about 200, where it had been a year or two earlier. At all times, all staff have been extremely warm, caring and professional. The standard of care and treatment is well above the average.
Fantastic experience: I just had my Invisalign great experience no more jaw pain great workers and very good service lovely management. thanks to dr Lisa for sharing her own experience and offering me the Invisalign I am having great experience with the laser and holistic for a few years my son was in very bad pain dr Lisa helped him a lot relief for appreciating her help She is the best ,good heart and lots of care. also big thanks to dr su for seeing me and all my family, most of my friends with very positive results appreciate your support and help God bless you
Fantastic experience: Great service. Really good professionals really nice and caring staff and workers i had my root canal and i had no pain thanks to laser and holistic dental i really reccommend this place.
Negative experience: Don't bother trying to book online, they take your booking and an upfront payment and then call you to say their booking system isn't up to date and they don't have availability for over a month. The worst first impression for a potential new customer.
Negative experience: I had my teeth cleaned here and they chipped one of my crowns but would not take any responsibility for it whatsoever- I had to have a new crown made eleswhere
Fantastic experience: I would like to provide a testimonial for Dr Lisa Matriste at Laser + Holistic Dental in South Yarra, Vic. In my opinion Lisa is at the cutting edge of advanced and ethical dentistry. I was first referred to Lisa in 2007 as she was one of the few dentists in Victoria who had the skill to develop dental devices for my particular sleep apnoea issue which left me with depleted oxygen levels each morning after sleep. Her work in setting up my dental device for this issue provided a life-changing health benefit for me. Lisa has also has been courageously leading a world-wide campaign for many years to ban the use of mercury amalgam in fillings due to the toxicity created in the body over time and the consequent negative health consequences. Over the years I have consistently found Lisa to be a highly skilled professional and have always felt she has my dental health and overall well-being as her #1 priority. Over the years I have seen her develop a cutting edge dental practice with a team of dedicated professionals, which I believe provides a second-to-none service. Lisa has a great reputation in the broader health-care industry amongst many professionals I have personally met. I don’t hesitate to recommend Lisa’s services to anyone who wants the best quality dental service with someone that is highly qualified, highly experienced and most importantly with someone you can totally trust. Regards Peter Ferguson Kinesiologist
Fantastic experience: Very happy with the dental services I have received from Laser + Holistic Dental. The staff are wonderful and its always a pleasant experience when visiting, highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Superior service and extremely hygienic I highly recommend this clinic!
Fantastic experience: “We have been to a few clinics and it is my opinion that Dr Lisa is one of the best dentists in Melbourne – thanks for all your help for my partner's wisdom teeth issues.
Fantastic experience: Visited the clinic for the first time for a routine check-up with Dr Lisa. She discovered a cyst in my cheekbone that my previous dentist had completely overlooked, which was close to hitting my nerve. Dr Lisa performed surgery on the cyst within the week and saved me from a potential emergency and extreme pain! Couldn’t recommend her highly enough - will be a client for life.
Negative experience: My husband and I attended an appointment that was very expensive and didn't result in the clean that both of us wanted which is disappointing
Fantastic experience: I saw Dr Su had a few things done like removal of Mercury fillings and laser clean, im happy with her work very thorough and good at making sure to minimize pain. The first time I saw her knew I was in good hands.
Negative experience: I went to see a kinesiologist for the first time and explained to them that I was having recurrent gum pains and dental issues. It was then recommended for me to take action with Dr Lisa. I contacted them and was prepared to invest money and time into my health. They sent me a lot of documents to refill and wanted to establish contact with my previous dentists, which I found really professional and welcoming. However it was just the beginning of Covid 19, I wasn’t able to stay too long at the clinic when the first meeting, so we did a fast examination and I was asked to consent to do some X Rays for a decent amount of money. After almost a week I finally did receive an expensive quote, affirming that I needed a surgery. I believed them in many aspects and decided to go ahead. Dr Lisa, said to me that it was the best clinic in Melbourne, that she was the best dentist in Australia and that most of the dentist places were closed due to the pandemic… It was quite an intense experience since I had an extraction, a surgery and a gum treatment .. I’m not used to taking antibiotics and I had some adverse effects. When I mentioned that to them they blamed the chemist. My last appointment with them had me standing in the corner of a room writing various details about myself and my medical history. I thought it was the last time I was seeing them but … a couple of days after I received another quote for some raineners 850$ ! so I was really confused , why would they not send it to me straight away? this was their answer: ‘We don’t want to overwhelm our clients’, a claim that I wanted to believe, unfortunately, it seems simply ridiculous and frankly, offensive. Surely an initial quote for the total sum would be the minimum of reasonable honest service. Perhaps the demographic of their clinic is for the financial elite but in order to be reasonable; up front pricing is the least expected. Maybe my position of being an immigrant during a global pandemic might have influenced the apparently obtuse quote. Better if it elicited some sincere human empathy in a time where I was in pain. Alas, I live in a paradigm outside of money and business where expecting honesty from a business that professes to be one of the few open during covid is taken at face value. I understood afterwards that to be a lie. I was eager to be treated by Dr Lisa and that’s why I waited until she was available, if I had known how confusing and rushed this process would have been, I would have chosen any other dentist. More fool me for spending a significant part of my income (3200$) through their business which at the time seemed like an essential investment for me. I was left in a constant pain and never really felt the same again… Even after replying to their ‘aftercare’ email, it took 14 days to receive a reply!! Indeed Dr Lisa was apparently too busy … Such a long time that I had no choice but to find another dentist. I can’t help but think this was also because they knew my plan to leave the country soon afterwards... The new dentist’s professional opinion is that I don’t even need retainers and some basic research reveals that most places offering Vivera retainers in Melbourne do so for $495. This was just more energy I had to expend on what thus far has been a fruitless endeavour that took away my time, when I need it most. The amount of grief and anguish this has caused me in a position of vulnerability at the hands of global turnings was really overwhelming and I had to change many of my plans… Indeed before seeing other dentists, I thought that I really needed the retainers but I wasn't sure if I could get them done in my home country because of their strict restrictions at that time. I did a complaint but I’m waiting for more than a month now… I don’t recommend this place and I hope that no one else has to go through what I had again.
Fantastic experience: Very professional staff, very friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend Dr Lisa for any procedures.
Fantastic experience: Dr Ed is a great dentist - highly skillful, super friendly and easy direct communication. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: From the first consultation with Dr Sutander I knew I was in the right hands to have my amalgam fillings replaced. Her and her team were amazing and after 5 appointments I am mercury free and couldn't be happier for the road back to full health. They explained everything and were caring and attentive to my needs for the whole time. The staff were super friendly also and I will be recommending her to all my friends and family. Thank you Dr Sutander.
Negative experience: Laser therapy does not work and leaves u significantly out of pocket! Go and see a specialist DR not a Dentist if suffering sleep apnoea or snoring problems.
Negative experience: Was the most relaxed I'd ever been getting a filling done... However, and this is a big however, the filling was put in poorly, so the tooth cracked and had to be replaced by a crown. On getting X-rays at another dentist can see yet again sloppy work where the crown and tooth don't actually meet (there's a 'ledge') - so root canal is on the cards. Pity they do the right, holistic things, but it's all smoke and mirrors when the actual dental work is mediocre.
Fantastic experience: I had been suffering from TMJ Dysfunction and Trigeminal Neuralgia on and off for 6 years but this year was the worst and I'm so thankful I found this clinic. I had a sleep test done first and surprised to find I have mild sleep apnea but not surprised I grind my teeth. Dr Lisa setup a plan for me starting with treatment of the pain over a month. When the pain disappeared, I was able to get some dental work done and a mould for my device I would be wearing at night. I'm now sleeping better than I ever have and the pain is gone but book in straight away whenever I feel it coming on again. More people need to know about the amazing treatment this clinic can do for TMJ Dysfunction. I'm so grateful for the treatment and service I receive. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: It hasn't been easy to find a dental in town that resonates in terms of its philosophy but Laser + Holistic as provided us with new hope. Not only do they address about neurotoxin issues in chemicals like fluoride and mercury, but they offer alternative ways that would help with dental health in the long term with a thorough look at overall wellbeing. One that actually sticks true to its 'holistic' name to its most possible means. I don't believe ozone therapy is available in any other dentist in Melbourne, definitely a revolutionary dental
Fantastic experience: After 3 sessions gone from 70 % snoring throughout the night, too 0% not bad hey, go for it peoples!!
Fantastic experience: Had a root canal with Ed - he was great, the process was super easy and pain free. Will definitely be back in the future!
Fantastic experience: I discovered Dr Lisa Matriste at the recommendation of my acupuncturist. I was recovering from a car collision and was having trouble with my teeth breaking off. As a result of my initial consultation with Dr Lisa, she suggested a sleep study for sleep apnoea, as my sleep had been disturbed since the car crash. Not only was I subsequently diagnosed with sleep apnoea, but the the CPAP machine I now use has decreased my apnoeas from 28 per hour to .05 (this means I wake up once a an hour instead of 28!) And this is before any major dentistry has commenced. I also had a crown fall off my front tooth over Christmas and Dr Lisa fitted me in to repair the shoddy work of my previous dentist. The nurse offered me Rescue Remedy for my nerves, paw paw ointment to stop my lips drying out and, hand massage on pressure points to relax me before my treatment. Dr Lisa is an extraordinary dentist. When I met her she had just returned from a world dental convention and was full of new knowledge she was ready to share. I have major dental work to have done shortly and I know I am in the best hands possible. She is a calming and confident dentist and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lisa is precise, professional & most importantly is caring ! Dispelling all the fears of visiting a dentist!!!! 7stars
Negative experience: I was quoted a price over the phone for whitening trays and I gave my cc details to leave a deposit. 30 min later someone rang me back to tell me they had misquoted me and gave me a higher quote. I decided to go ahead with it anyway even though the second quote was higher than I had gotten from another dentist. When I arrived for my appointment I was given a third quote that was almost $200 more than the second quote I was given. I expressed my annoyance and was told that the consultation fee would be waived. The next day when I looked at my receipt I realised that I had still in fact been charged the consultation fee! The dentist was very nice but the situation was not. I have since cancelled my appointment to get my teeth cleaned and will be finding a new dentist.
Fantastic experience: Dr.Lisa is an outstanding pioneer in the dental profession. It is a pleasure to know her. She has been able to turn around a potentially most dangerous health situation for myself that was close to tipping point. It is not only that her capability in new approaches is trail blazing but her empathy, chair side manner and passion totally complement her abilities. May she continue with her team to do great work now and into the future that many others will benefit :)

Fantastic experience: I found Laser and holistic dental on the internet when I was suffering from a lot of pain. It turns out my previous dentist hadn't seen an infection in one of my teeth that had turned nasty. They couldn't fit me in but I was able to get an emergency appointment here. I think I'll be staying with Laser and holistic dental from now on. Thank you for the accurate diagnosis, and quick treatment :)
