Goodlife Dental Studio: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Dr. Claudia Lim is absolutely wonderful and very friendly. My previous experiences with other dentists were not very good, and I used to get scared even hearing about dental appointments. But Dr. Claudia completely changed that for me. She was amazing, gentle, and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole visit. Thanks to her, I’m no longer scared of going to the dentist. Highly recommend her!
Thank you so much Monica! We are so happy to hear that! ☺️
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend for kids! Staff went above and beyond to make my three year old’s first time visiting a dentist a really special experience.
Hi Brooke! Thank you so much! Today has been a wild one so we are so happy to hear this! Look forward to seeing the family in the future!

Thanks Aaron! I will pass on the feedback! Everyone will be so happy!

Hi David! Thankyou so much!! We try really hard :D

Fantastic experience: Today I've had an outstanding customer service and painfree experience at Goodlife Dental, from the booking with Jenny to the treatment with Dr. Amy! Highly recommended for professionality and level of care, thank you
Amy and I are stoked with the kind words! Thank you so much! We do our absolute best! - Jenny
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Good Life Dental Studio enough! It was my daughter's first visit to the dentist, and since she’s only three, she can get quite overwhelmed with doctor appointments. We saw Hannah, and she was absolutely amazing—so patient, kind, and engaging. She turned the experience into something fun, taking away my daughter's fear. When we left, my little one proudly said, "Mummy, I did it! That wasn’t bad at all!" A huge thank you to Hannah and the team at Good Life Dental Studio—we'll see you at our next appointment!
Wow! Thank you so much Zoe! That is beautiful! I will pass this on! - Jenny :D
Fantastic experience: I recently visited Dr. Hannah for a filling and was incredibly impressed by the kindness and care she displayed throughout the entire process. I required an injection, which I was a little nervous about, but Dr. Hannah’s skill and professionalism made all the difference. She took the time to thoroughly explain each step, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed. The gum was pre-numbed, and her calm demeanor and gentle approach during the injection process were outstanding. I barely felt a thing! Dr. Hannah’s communication and care made what could have been a stressful experience completely comfortable. Highly recommend Dr. Hannah to anyone looking for a dentist who truly cares about her patients and provides top-notch service. Thank you, Dr. Hannah!
Yay! Thank you so much for writing a review! :)
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Goodlife, always had a positive experience, such a refreshing change from past dentists. All the staff are so friendly and honest about the processes and prices. Hannah’s amazing and looking forward to bringing my 1year old to see Amy, she’s wonderful with kids!
Oh wow! Thank you very much for going out of your way to write us a lovely review. Yay! Thank you. We are so glad you had a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and the result was the best filling in years, almost pain free as well.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review Vikki! So proud you had a great experience at our practice. Great way to end our day reading this review. Thank you again! :)

Morning Vicki! Thank you so much! The whole team is smiling this morning!
Fantastic experience: I don’t even know where to start. The team at Goodlife Dental did an absolutely amazing job. For years I would avoid smiling in the mirror and now I can’t stop! I am absolutely over the moon with the results. I was super anxious going to the dentist hence leaving it for so long but Dr Nom and the team were so patient with me. I don’t think I’ll ever stop thanking them! They have brought back my confidence and I just feel like a new woman! Thankyou to all the lovely staff Dr Nom, Bella, Jenny, Hannah and all the other lovely girls
What a way to start our Friday! Thank you so much for the feedback! I just shared with the team and they are all smiling and so chuffed!!!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic attitude with kids, they take the time to make sure they are comfortable and not scared. All the staff are very friendly and they make it a real pleasure to visit. Honest appraisals, they don't push for work that does not need to be done like some of the others clinics i have been too.
Thanks so much Gary!! We're so happy to hear!! :D
Fantastic experience: I’ve got an very fast appointment. They did a great job and everyone was so friendly! Thanks a lot!:)
It was our pleasure! Thanks Jana!
Fantastic experience: Hannah is a fantastic dentist! Monday was my child's first ever dentist visit, Hannah made it a thoroughly enjoyable first experience
Thanks so much Todd! She'll be wrapped!
Fantastic experience: Like many, I've always hated going to the dentist but every visit to Goodlife has been pleasant. I've seen both Dr Rakkas and Dr Mcvnish and they are both so lovely, not judgemental and helpful. They provide excellent service. I'm so happy with the ceramic filling Dr Rakkas did. It was actually really interesting to see the technology they use to build the filling. I always find comfort knowing I can watch videos of animals on the TVs on the roof to distract me from the sounds of the various tools they use.
Morning Jess, thanks so much! What a great way to start the week! :D
Fantastic experience: Let’s face it, most people have a fear of the dentist including myself, well not anymore. From the moment I walked into Goodlife Dental I was made feel completely at ease by the friendly staff. Once in the chair Hannah was brilliant doing a complete and thorough assessment of my teeth and gums and talking me through all the options available to me in a honest and compassionate discussion. Hannah has preformed a full clean and two extraction, I felt zero discomfort and my recovery was amazing. The team at Goodlife are amazing, ringing me in the following days to make sure I was ok and not experiencing any discomfort. I can highly recommend
Wow, thank you so much Gordon! I've passed this on to everyone (including Hannah) and they are all so chuffed!! We are so glad! - Jenny
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a great dentist in Darwin, look no further. Dr Rakkas is a skilled dentist. He is also kind and patient and takes the time to listen and explain. His support staff, especially receptionist Jenny, always did their best to make appointments that fitted into my schedule. I thank them for the care they gave me while I was in Darwin. Highly recommended.
Hi Jane! We hope you are all settled into your new home. Thank you so much for writing us such a lovely a review! :) Much appreciated. Best wishes and hope to see you again in Darwin one day
Fantastic experience: I have been going here for many years. Nom has been brilliant and really helped, his very freidnly and polite with great patient focused care. I broke a tooth while overseas one time and Nom opened up his practice for me on the Sunday we got home. Highly reccomend.
Hi Chris, thank you so much! I will pass on the gratitude to everyone!
Fantastic experience: Very happy and satisfied with the services of Goodlife Dental. Thank you!
Thankyou Eliza! :D
Fantastic experience: 5 Star Service. Friendly receptionist, easy to park, spotless & stylish premises. Dr Rakkas has a very pleasant bedside manner, excellent communication skills, and performed a very thorough treatment. A good dentist should always make you feel comfortable and well looked after & I was most impressed with the all round exceptional service. I will be a regular client.
Thank you very much for your kind words Caludia. :) It was lovely to meet you today.
Fantastic experience: Great dental studio. Very honest, gives options for any budget and extremely friendly staff. Nomikos is very knowledgeable and professional. Studio is clean and has the latest technology, always well informed when I visit there.
Thanks Jarrad! It's been a pleasure! Thankyou! :D
Fantastic experience: Staff were amazing all round. Best clean I have ever had. Everything was explained and I was completely happy with this experience. No one loves the Denist but do yourselves a favour and make an appointment.
Argh best compliment ever! Thank you so much Karen!
Fantastic experience: highly recommend this clinic! very kind and welcoming team :)
Thank you so much for the review Tash! ❤️
Fantastic experience: For the last 15months, my 7year old has been going to Dr Hannah McVinish for dental check ups, cleans & more recently to have a baby tooth extracted & a filling put in. Big deal for a little kid but Dr McVinish had it sorted & made my girl feel at ease. Dr McVinish's approach with kids is incredible. She engages with my girl from the moment we sign in at reception & while she carries out all her dental procedures. My girl's fear of dentists is long gone thanks to Dr McVinish! =)
That is so kind!! I read this to Dr Hannah and she had a massive smile and said "That's so sweet! Wow Thankyou!" !!
Fantastic experience: Hannah and the staff at Goodlife were absolutely amazing!!! My nearly 2 year old had such a great experience so I thought I would try it myself. Hannah took her time and explained everything and the dentist assistant was great too not once did I need to stop them due to feeling like I was choking which I usually have to do multiple times. Thank you so much! I will never go anywhere else :)!
Oh wow! Thank you so much! I will pass this on to Hannah and Anamaria, they will be so happy!!
- Jenny
Fantastic experience: Excellent dental practice that really cares about it's patients. The dentists are very thorough and take time to talk things through with you. They squeezed me in immediately to deal with a toothache despite being fully booked out. Very much appreciated!
Thank you so much Danny. We try our very best! Our pleasure!
Fantastic experience: I'm generally very nervous going to the dentist, today I was welcome with a patient dentist and someone who was gentle. Highly recommend Goodlife
Thank you for writing us such as lovely review Sarah! :) Glad you enjoyed your experience with us.
Fantastic experience: I love the Goodlife dental crew. Soon as you walk in they take amazing care of you. I’ve had a fantastic experience with my teeth. I asked for my front teeth to be repaired as I have asked plenty of other dentists to do this procedure but end up with a list of other problems instead. They fixed my issue straight away and now I’m confident and sold. Won’t go anywhere else!!
Aw thankyou!!! We are so appreciative! I will pass on the message!
Fantastic experience: Best dentist I've been to. Very informative and attention to detail is high. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Thanks Jake!! Very appreciative!
Fantastic experience: Dr Hannah was a superstar with my little one. It was a challenging procedure and she performed great. She is knowledgeable, kind, gentle and wonderful. I’d totally recommend her as a dentist. Wonderful with kids and she would be just as good with adults. The clinic itself and all the staff we came across was also extremely pleasant
Thank you so much Virginia! So kind! I will let everyone know! They will be so happy! - Jenny
Fantastic experience: Exceptional service and treatment! Nom is always amazing, and now I’ve had the pleasure of being treated by Hannah. She has the same gentle, caring approach as Nom, and eased my anxiety, along with the assistance of Paige and Jenny. Thank you all so very much! A Team!
Thankyou so much Cobie!! I'll make sure to show everyone!! Made my Day!!! - Jenny
Fantastic experience: By far the best Dentist in Darwin! Especially if dentists in general give you anxiety. They are so accomodating, friendly and generally care about assisting you with any queries. I found this dentist to be very professional and also felt involved in the treatment plan. Jenny went over and above to fit me in for an appointment in such short notice and Dr Hannah was lovely. I found her communication excellent throughout and also felt safe and comfortable in her care. This is a really honest dentist and overall such a good vibe. I’m so glad I found these guys! Keep up the great work! :)
Wow! Thank you so much Jenna!
I'll show everyone! They will be so pleased! Thank you!
Also Jenny says NO, THANKYOU!
Fantastic experience: I saw Dr Hannah at Goodlife and can honestly say, it was the best experience I have ever had at the dentist. I am often very nervous going to the dentist but Dr Hannah was incredibly patient and lovely and made me feel so much better about everything!
Thank you Stefanie! So kind!!
Fantastic experience: The staff at Goodlife Dental Studio in Alawa are fabulous. My dentist Hannah was so friendly and patient and took the time to explain the process and ensure I was happy and comfortable throughout my visit. Hannah and her team also went above and beyond with my child, making his first dentist appointment fun, relaxed and memorable for all the right reasons. If you’re nervous about visits to the dentist or if you’re looking for top quality service, I highly recommend these guys. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much Amy!!! I'll pass it on to everyone! Smiles all around today!
Fantastic experience: Honestly the best dentist I’ve ever been to. I highly recommend them for children and adults. The dentist took time to explain everything to my children and was very thorough. I’m extremely happy with the beautiful work they did on my teeth as well. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Thank you so much!
Thankyou so much Danielle! Everyone is stoked with the feedback!
Negative experience: He is more interested in getting out the teeth than preserving it.Not a reliable dentist.
Hi Fazal
I am really surprised and very sorry you feel that way. Its upsetting for us too if you have had a bad experience. So I would love to help.
If a tooth can be saved, we always discuss this option as well as what the cost might be, what the process is, risks involved and how long it might last. But ultimately its your choice as the patient as to what treatment you choose to go ahead with. Also depending on the damage to the tooth, the choices and survivability is very different in each case. And we actually pride ourselves on being realistic about this by trying to save teeth when patients want us to, but to also not give false hope.
So there seems to have been a misunderstanding here.
Due to privacy we obviously cannot discuss any specifics and go over your treatment notes here so I have already had the dentist try to get in touch with you personally by phone twice to discuss but there was no answer.
So could you please give our clinic a call at your earliest convenience. :)
Fantastic experience: The Team at Goodlife Dental Studio are outstanding! If you are looking for a Professional, Quality, Friendly and Price Comparative Service. Then you need give them a go! Very Highly Recommended!!!
Thank you so much George!!
Fantastic experience: As someone with plenty of dental issues going to the dentist isn’t something I usually enjoy but I had a amazing experience at Goodlife dental studio. Dr Hannah was so patient when explaining whatever she was doing and was a fantastic communicator, it made me feel like I was being treated holistically and that she cared about getting me involved in planning my dental care. Would highly recommend!
Thank you so much Dee! I will pass this one to everyone! They will be stoked!
Fantastic experience: Can you please pass on a special thanks to Hannah? I have had a scale & clean every 12 Months for the past 20 years (with other dentists or hygienists) and this experience with Hannah has been the best. I had very little pain or discomfort (apart from the stretched mouth), very little blood and she seamed to clean EVERY nook and cranny! My mouth has never felt so clean and fresh!
Thank you Graeme! I will certainly pass it on to Dr Hannah. Appreciate you sharing. We pride ourselves on quality and comfort so it really gets us excited when patients notice and appreciate that difference we work hard to deliver! Many thanks!!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I are currently travelling around Australia and I needed to find a dentist in Darwin to do a crown for me. After some google research I decided on Goodlife Dental and I can highly recommend Dr Nomikos Rakkas. He was very professional and has a great manner and was very gentle. I also found all of the staff I had dealings with to be very friendly and helpful and the surgery has a great feel to it.
Thank you so much for writing this lovely review Deb! So glad we were able to help while you were in Darwin. Best wishes for your ongoing travels! Have fun!!
Fantastic experience: I was so nervous going to the dentist for the first time since some bad experiences. The staff at Goodlife, especially Hannah, Jenny and Mia (think that’s her name, so sorry if it’s not), made me so comfortable and walked me through everything so there were no surprises. Thank you lovely ladies!!
Thank you so much Breanna! Means so much to all of us! I will pass this on to everyone... they will be excited to hear!!
Fantastic experience: What an amazing team you have at GoodLife Dental Studio. Thank you for fitting me in at such short notice whilst in Darwin on holidays. Not really where I wanted to be spending my time on holidays but you made it the most comfortable dental experience I have ever had. Much appreciated, Meredith.
Wow! Thank you so much Meredith!! I've passed your kind words on the everyone and they're all so thankful! Hope to see you in the future! :D
Fantastic experience: My 13 year old daughter has a serious fear of needles, especially dental ones. She had 2 teeth extracted at Goodlife Dentist. The Dentist (Hannah) and her assistant were absolutely brilliant with the care, compassion and service they provided. I highly recommend then
Thanks so much Mark! Means so much to us!
Fantastic experience: Myself and my 3 kids had an absolutely awesome experience at Goodlife Dental Studio. The team there are extremely thoughtful and accommodating. Amazing Professional service with great smiles. Communication and explanations were fantastic. The studio is super clean and modern, and the Disney plus on the tv is great distraction for the kids too. We will highly recommend Goodlife Dental to all our friends and family. Thanks heaps again Dr Hannah and the team at Goodlife.
Thank you so much for your lovely words!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing service, a wire on my dental plate snapped while on holiday, being from Victoria I was very worried but these fabulous people repaired my plate over night, so much appreciation for there efficient & friendly service
That's Beautiful! It was a delight to have you! Enjoy the rest of your holidays!
Fantastic experience: Amazing dentist, highly recommend! When other dentists wanted to kill my misbehaving tooth via root canal - this dentist saved it :) thankyou!
Aw thanks Virginia!!
Fantastic experience: Great Dentist, great staff, convenient location, and he is fastidious about keeping his equipment serviced and safe. A caring and nice bloke.
Haha! Thanks very much Trevor. Indeed!.. We love to keep our specialized dental equipment regularly serviced and in tip top shape! :D
Fantastic experience: What an experience! My son needed a tooth extracted urgently, but no dentist would perform it without using gas to relax him. The staff at Goodlife Dental were very helpful and professional. Able to offer the gas and there's a tv on the roof for additional distraction. The dentist and her assistant were great at keeping my son calm and removing the tooth quickly. Their communication with me during the procedure was fantastic! I highly recommend this dentist.
Thank you Shelley! It is our pleasure
Fantastic experience: The best dentist I have been too! Very professional and clean. Always so friendly and has taken all the worry away about going to the dentist! Would highly recommend to anyone!
Thankyou Ali! So kind!
Fantastic experience: Great service, appointment ran on time, didnt have to wait too long to book an appointment, either upon calling to make a new patient appointment. The dentist gave informative commentary throughout appointment and answered all questions I had in a friendly and approachable manner. Would recommend Hannah - but all staff I spoke to were super friendly :)
Naww.. Thank you Crystal. It was so lovely to meet you
Fantastic experience: I found Goodlife dental studio to be excellent. As a non local I needed a dentist & found everything exceptionally easy. The online booking system was functional and provided a quick appointment, not much waiting time & Dr Nomikos was highly professional & a good bloke. Highly recommended from me :)
Thank you so much for your review Leroy! It was great to meet you.
Fantastic experience: I get excited when it is my appointment date at Goodlife Dental Studio. I really enjoy the warm and friendly atmosphere Dr Nomikos, Jenny and Chantelle have at the studio. Dr Nomikos Rakkas is a fantastic Dentist and I am so greatful He was recommended to me. I could not thank you all enough for a great visit every time.
Thank you so much!! ❤
Fantastic experience: Have been travelling in to Darwin from Jabiru for dental work for the past 3 years, and always very happy with the quality of service from the Goodlife team!
Thank you for your review Aidan!
Fantastic experience: Very professional and excellent outcome
Thank you Tony!
Fantastic experience: Excellent dental practice! Very personal and friendly team. I find Nom great to deal with, easy going and explains everything very well.
Thank you Amy
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend! Dr Rakkas returned my phone call on a weekend and came in on a Sunday morning to repair my chipped tooth. Best dentist experience I have ever had.
Thank you so much for the review and your kind words Jenna.
Fantastic experience: Great Studio with fantastic service! I recently had an emergency wisdom tooth extraction just before New Years, I called up and Dr Rakkas got me straight in to check out what was causing me pain. He found the issue and gave me a few options of what we could do. I decided to go with the tooth extraction to minimise further issues. He got the tooth out completely pain free! His after care service is also fantastic, I knocked the clot out of the extraction site at around 11.30 at night, when I could not stop the bleed I called Dr Rakkas, he took my call and walked me through the solution. An hour later I received a follow up text message to ensure everything was fine. I highly recommend Goodlife Dental Studio!
Thank you for your review Teagan. :)
Fantastic experience: Thank you Dr Rakkas - once again you made my dental experience a good one. You never hurt me, you are meticulous and my regular checkups and cleans with you are paying off - I seldom require major dental work.
You're welcome Charlotte. Its always a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: I have never been to a dentist before that looks at a person from such a wholistic manner. Not to mention as a fellow health professional I love knowing what’s going on and Dr. Nom does a brilliant job of explaining things and making you feel comfortable. Legend.
Thank you Aaron.
Fantastic experience: Only every now and then you come across quality services. Goodlife dental studio is 100% one of them. I find Dr Rakkas passionate, thorough and he explains you the procedure in a way that anyone could understand. If anyone looking for good dentist, please don't just take my word for it. Make an appointment and experience it yourself. Thank you Dr Rakkas and team.
Very nice of you to say Trinesh. Thank you very much
Fantastic experience: I have never felt better after visiting a dentist than after seeing Dr Rakkas. His practice is clean and well managed, and he is the type of professional who takes great pride in doing the best job that can be done. Dr Rakkas works with intelligence, efficiency and care.
Appreciate your review Tom. Thanks for your kind words
Fantastic experience: We took our children to see Dr Rakkas and were extremely impressed. Dr Rakkas explained everything clearly in ways that our children could understand. He was gentle, fun and kind. He was able to rebuild my 8 year old son's front two teeth so perfectly you cannot tell they were ever broken. We highly recommend Dr Rakkas to anyone!
Thank you very much for your kind words Tim.
