Fantastic experience: I have been a long time client of Richard’s. For good reason. The first thing I was most impressed with was how gentle he is in regards to not experiencing any pain or discomfort. The quality of his workmanship is second to none. He is very informative in regards to what you may require and is a good listener in regards to to what your concerns maybe. Finally I am also impressed with the constant up grades with his equipment he has in his work place to achieve the best treatment possible without having to be sent elsewhere, pretty much all your needs are all achieved all in house at the one location. I hope Richard doesn’t think of retiring anytime soon. I would hate to have to go to anyone else.

Thank you so much for such a generous and detailed review. It truly means a lot to hear that you’ve trusted Richard for so many years. His gentle approach and commitment to providing pain-free, high-quality care are things he takes great pride in, and we’re glad this continues to make such a difference for you.

We also appreciate your kind words about our technology and in-house treatment options, we’re always updating our equipment to ensure our patients receive the best care possible without added inconvenience.

Your loyalty and confidence in our practice are greatly valued, and we hope to continue looking after your smile for many years to come. And don’t worry, Richard has no plans to retire anytime soon!

Fantastic experience: I recently relocated to the area and needed to find a new dentist, and I’m so glad I chose this practice [Smiles by the Sea in Mona Vale]. From the moment I walked in, the team were friendly and welcoming. The dentist Dr Richard Wilkins was incredibly gentle during the cleaning, which I really appreciated as I have some teeth sensitivity. The whole visit was calm, pleasant, and professional, and I left feeling completely at ease. I’m very happy to have found a dental practice I can trust and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring dental team.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Smiles by the Sea highly enough. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine kindness and care that instantly puts you at ease. What could have been a daunting experience was made to feel simple, comfortable, and even pleasant thanks to their professionalism and warmth. Kerryn, Ashleigh, and Dr Malcolm were wonderful from start to finish. They were attentive, reassuring, and incredibly skilled and made the whole process (Root Canal!!!!!!) so smooth. Plus the aftercare and follow-up were just as impressive as the treatment itself. Thank you all for going above and beyond, you’ve truly set the bar for what a dental experience should be!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Richard Wilkins is a very caring provider with a great “bedside manner”. He has decades of experience and all the staff there are friendly and professional. I’d highly recommend this wonderful dental practice.

Fantastic experience: Easily the best dental surgery I’ve ever been to… I’ve always felt really nervous about going to the dentist but Dr Richard Wilkins & his team put me at ease straight away. Dr Wilkins has a very gentle and kind manner & he did a great job of cleaning my teeth (without giving me a lecture about flossing). The staff were lovely and the newly renovated surgery looks comfortable, crisp & clean. I highly recommend this business.

Tamara Buttrose 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Richard has been our dentist for over 20 years. In all that time, I have never felt any discomfort or pain from any procedures - including root canal! Richard is always so gentle, capable and professional in his work, and has a friendly and interested manner. We fully trust his advice. We never have to wait for long periods of time, and the dental surgery is always clean and fresh! The dental nurse and reception staff are always so helpful, fun and caring. They remember details about our family and extended family, and make us feel very welcome and comfortable. We always have positive experiences going to the dentist, and the kids even ask to go - they don't fear a dentist trip at all!

Fantastic experience: Richard and his team are always courteous and punctual. No hours waiting before your appointment. I have been going to see Richard for many years and thus far I feel very comfortable. Richard explains treatment options and how to achieve the best possible outcome. It’s hard to find a dentist you can trust. I do trust Richard and his team. Sent from my iPad
