Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Dr. Dimitri Thanos for over 20 years, and he’s someone my entire family trusts completely. His approach to dentistry is thoughtful, honest, and patient-centred — he focuses on treating the cause, not just the symptoms, and never recommends unnecessary work. It’s refreshing to have a dentist who truly believes in “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.” I couldn’t recommend him more highly for his professionalism, integrity, and care.

Annette, thank you so much for your feedback! We are so delighted that you were happy with our service.
Fantastic experience: My experience with the smile spot is nothing short of exceptional. As soon as I arrived I felt extremely welcomed and comfortable. The whole place feels highly professional yet deeply warm and friendly. The ladies at the front desk were excellent and made everything very easy upon arrival. Shortly after I arrived, Hattie the dental assistant came to greet me with a wonderful warm energy and a big smile. She offered me a drink and took me into the room where I met Jackie who would be my dentist. She was very confident and reassuring. She inspired confidence and trust. Throughout the whole process I felt comfortable and in great hands. Jackie and Hattie really had my best interest at heart and took care of me every step of the way. The whole process was explained to me very simply. Jackie did an incredible job fixing my two front teeth (chipped) and transformed them into teeth that not only looked great but also had character, felt like my own and matched the rest the other teeth and my smile. A real artist! They also did an incredible job of cleaning/polishing my teeth and fixing my gums. Thanks to the Smile Spot, I have completely changed my smile and my confidence in photos has gone through the roof. I feel like I can smile properly and that a huge weight has been lifted. For anyone who feels self-conscious about their teeth contact the Smile Spot and find out how they can change your smile and your life; you owe to yourself.
Fantastic experience: My children have started seeing Dr Jacalyn Madden at The Smile Spot and I honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough, especially for anyone feeling anxious about dental visits. She is warm and kind yet professional and firm. She has a great way of putting patients at ease and a lovely manner with children. The dental assistant and receptionists are lovely too. Highly recommend this team.
Fantastic experience: Dimitri is a most professional and capable dentist. He has been my families dentist for the last 30 years approx. We have never had a complain or having had to go back after him having performed some serious surgery. I would recommend Demitri and his staff for all dental work.
Fantastic experience: What an amazing place! They have all the latest technology and Dimitri's work is seamless. The team are fantastic, he is one of the most knowledgeable, kind and skilled dentist you have ever met in your life. They are well priced and Dimitri, and the team are extremely honest and fair with all their recommendations. The Hygienist, Gallina is brilliant and thorough. I have been a patient here for 6 years, and no matter where I live even if I ever move overseas, I will always make the trip back to the smile spot. Thank you to the whole team for making my visits there so enjoyable and taking care of me for all these years. highly recommended!!
Fantastic experience: Harriet Jacalyn and Mary really know how to make you feel comfortable from the first phone call I made to the smile spot. Mary was warm, kind and helpful with advice. I can't speak highly enough of Jacalyn & Harriet. A great team. They have managed to take away years of negative feelings that I associated with dentists. Thankyou
Fantastic experience: Went in for a consult with Dimitrios today. Very informative. You can see he really cares about his work. His not there to get money from you. You ask him a question he will outline what he knows and what things you can do to help that problem! Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I have been to The Smile Spot a few times over the years and I highly recommend Dimitri, Fiona, Mary and the rest of the team. Each visit has been welcoming and Dimitri clearly explains each available option so I can make an informed decision that I'm comfortable with. He never pressures me to pick the more expensive option and even gave me a discount unprompted - this generosity is unheard of! Very fortunate to have found The Smile Spot.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Dimitri and his wonderful staff at the clinic. His attention to detail is fantastic. He also has the ability to artistically mould each filling to resemble the likeness of a real tooth. The dental work I have received over the last 6 years has allowed to look at my teeth and feel proud. I recommended my entire family to consult with Dimitri for all their dental needs. Thanks again The Smile Spot, Dulwich Hill.
Fantastic experience: I had a bad accident that saw me entirely fracture my left front tooth and hurt the roots of both of my front teeth. Dimitri went out of his way to see me first thing in the morning and conducted the surgery as soon as it was possible. The surgery was painless and I felt comfortable. Dimitri used lasering technology that most other dentists don't have that prevented me from losing my front tooth. My tooth looked visibly better than it did before the surgery (according to my friends!) I am SO greatful to Dimitri and can not recommend him more highly. He is the best dentist I have ever seen and is so much more affordable than anyone else I have been to. He will go out of his way to make sure that your problem is fixed as soon as possible and without pain. Thank you Dimitri!
Fantastic experience: My 19 year old daughter fell injuring her 3 front teeth and badly fracturing one - is was a disaster. Smile Spot to the rescue. We were seen immediately the next morning (a Saturday), and booked in for the full root canal and reconstruction. The results were amazing not only can't you not tell that anything happen, but some say my daughters teeth look better. Thanks you Smile Spot and Dimitrios for your fast, extremely kind handling of the situation and fantastic outcome. We can not recommend Smile Spot enough - they get a big 'WOW' from us
Fantastic experience: Excellent clinic. Friendly professional staff, especially nurse Harriet who is extremely kind! Five star recommendation.
Fantastic experience: Really professional team... quick efficient and lovely would recommend to anyone
Fantastic experience: Great Dentist, excellent staff, i recently had to have root canal treatment, Dr Thanos used the latest laser therapy and it only took one hour, all healed nicely, no pain or further appointment necessary!!! FIVE STARS!!
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience here! The staff was friendly and very comforting (as I hate going to the dentist). Everything was quick and painless and they were very professional. Highly recommend for all your dental needs!
Fantastic experience: Recently went to this really impressive practice. Had a filling with the laser no needle and no pain. Highly recommended!!
Fantastic experience: Recently attended The Smile Spot for my Regular Dental check-up. Was highly impressed by the staff who made me feel at ease as i usually get super nervous when attending a Dental Practice.
Fantastic experience: Great experience, I've been looked after here extreemly well time and time again. Through some very complex dental work over the years. Including replacing a broken tooth, very professional, friendly, trustworthy and best of all, they've done a great job getting my smile in order!
Fantastic experience: Dimitri Is Truly A Godsent Dentist Sent From The Angels In Heaven!!
Fantastic experience: Best dentist! They are helpful, professional and gentle. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I really like this place. Dr Thanos, the hygenists and his staff are always positive and give great advice. I like that the dentist always explains things and gives you options for treatment, which is honest and fair. I also like the freebie toothpaste and dental packs they give out. My last dentist used to charge me for it ! The only problem is that they are always booked far in advance, so booking early for a clean is a must!
Fantastic experience: As soon as I found this place I've never been anywhere else. The smile shop has some fantastic dentists and hygienists who are always friendly and helpful. They've done a great job on my teeth and have very reasonable prices. I have a modest phobia for dentists but they've been really good about explaining whats going on and what it will feel like so everyone is comfortable.
