South Melbourne Dental Smiles: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Fantastic job on my filling snd bonding. Well priced too Recommend !
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr David Nguyen, South Melbourne for some time, and I am consistently impressed with the high standard of care he provides. He always takes the time to listen carefully, explain the options available, and guide me towards the most effective solution. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine concern for his patients make every visit a positive experience. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking quality dental care.
Fantastic experience: Walked in with a toothache and walked out feeling 100 times better. The team fit me in last minute and were super understanding. Can’t thank them enough!
Fantastic experience: Got my teeth cleaned today—great experience! The team was gentle and explained everything well. Highly recommend if you need a dentist in South Melbourne.
Negative experience: I went there probably 3 weeks ago but i was disappointed with a result. Very first appointment was okay then second appointment didn’t well went. He didn’t say that what he was going to do and Dentist didn’t even offered a mirror at the end of the appointment to check my teeth. It was very quick and fixed 4 teeth at a same time he said. But when I checked basically looked no different to when I went in. And cost me 800 aud for just little scratch on it. First appointment was 150 aud around. Totally 950 aud just blew away from my pocket. I was shocked still. Dentist wasn’t that social much. That is why it is confusing. My treatment plan was 7000 aud around when he showed me.. I want refund for 2 teeth which has no difference at all. Decided to go different dentist now.
Hi Yuki, you are definitely not our patient. Can you please double check which clinic you went to and kindly remove your review?
Fantastic experience: Best dentist I have ever attended. Professional, efficient with excellent outcomes every time. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much Sean ☺️
Fantastic experience: 10/10 I walked in off the street and got my teeth cleaned beautifully same day. We discussed other cosmetic work I was interested in, and the quote was extremely reasonable (4 front teeth $2200) so I booked in straight away and now have had the work done. I am extremely happy with the results. Also the rooms are spacious clean, calm and comfortable. 2hr parking around the corner. I highly recommend this wonderful health service, and I am smiling more, proud of my lovely teeth. Thank you Dr David Nguyen.
Thank you so much Carol ☺️
Fantastic experience: I am extremely pleased with Dr David Nguyen work. He is calm, gentle, professional and goes above and beyond with his services. I originally came in to get Invisalign but along the way I was required to get braces on my bottom teeth as well and also get cavities filled and he did all the services amazingly and with no problems. He did everything he could to provide me with the results I was seeking. 10/10 recommend, the best dentist\orthodontic service I have ever received. I really appreciate everything that they have done for me!
Thank you so much Karolina, you are very sweet ☺️
Fantastic experience: The service: I absolutely love the service given by Dr. David Nguyen! He’s calm, quiet, reassuring and very professional - holding a high standard to his practice. I recommend 12/10, best dentist ever. The atmosphere: Very calm and soothing, good music! The staff: The staff members were helpful and lovely! Notably Anh and Mia!
Fantastic experience: Amazing dental clinic. Dr David has done a superb job for my Invisalign treatment
Thank you Michelle
Fantastic experience: These guys are great and very reassuring.
Thank you Dan
Fantastic experience: I first came to Dr David in an emergency with an infected wisdom tooth. I was fitted in very quickly and the problem (and subsequent extraction) was dealt with quickly, very empathetically and professionally. I was extremely apprehensive and in a lot of pain and Dr David and his assistant (I'm sorry, I don't know her name) made me feel at ease and relieved at a very stressful time. I subsequently visited for a long overdue checkup and clean. I can honestly say that over three visits now, due to Dr David and his assistant being so kind, sensitive and caring, that my very long held dental phobia has been relieved. I cannot recommend the South Melbourne Dental Smiles practice highly enough - absolute the best dental experience I've ever had and I cannot imagine going anywhere else now.
Thank you so much Julietta for being so lovely
Fantastic experience: A few weeks ago I desperately needed to see a dentist due to an emergency and after calling a few dental clinics around my work, South Melbourne Dental Smiles were happy to squeeze me in at short notice. Thank you so much Dr David and team for all your care that day and for saving my tooth, I am so grateful! Will definitely be recommending my family and friends to come here!
Thank you Kate

Thank you Jenson :)

Thank you Danh :)
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience. I lost a filling while biting into a Minty and they were able to see me same day. Quick, pleasant experience and they even took the time to explain everything during and after the treatment. Thank you!
Thank you Paul, glad you had a wonderful experience :)
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience during my dental appointment with Dr. David. He was skilful and knowledgeable but also made me feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. He patiently answered all my questions and addressed my concerns with utmost care, ensuring I fully understood the condition of my oral health and any recommended treatments. The clinic was spotless and cosy, and all the equipment were new and clean which added to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend Dr. David at South Melbourne Dental Smiles to anyone in need of a reliable and skilled dentist.
Thank you Wen :)
Fantastic experience: I realized that one of my tooth was dead and went to this place to have it checked out. The dentist, Dr. David Nguyen, confirmed my problem and recommended that I do a root canal procedure. As someone with dentist-phobia, this was one of my greatest fears. However, David was very gentle and professional and completed the root canal procedure smoothly over several weeks. My tooth looks good as new now and I don't have to feel self-conscious of my teeth. Glad I went here and I will be returning in the future.
Thank you so much Dan :D
Fantastic experience: Had a pleasant time at Dental Smiles. Staff were all very experienced and informative, will highly recommend this dental clinic to others.
Thank you Andy :D

Fantastic experience: I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. David to anyone seeking top-notch dental care. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine concern for his patients' well-being make him an exceptional dentist. From the warm and welcoming staff to the cutting-edge facilities, every aspect of my visit was nothing short of outstanding. Dr. David and his team have truly set the bar high for dental care, and I am grateful to have found such a reliable and skilled dentist. My experience at Dr. David's clinic was undoubtedly five-star worthy! Thank you, Dr. David, for your exceptional service and for making my dental visit a truly positive and memorable one!
Thank you Huong :)
Fantastic experience: Smiles dental clinic provided exceptional care during my recent check-up. From the friendly staff to the skilled dentist, I felt comfortable and well-cared for. The state-of-the-art facility and thorough cleaning left my teeth feeling fantastic. Highly recommended!
Thank you for your words :)
Fantastic experience: Can’t thank the staff and dentist enough for their great work. Had to get an extraction done (my first ever) so was a bit nervous and doctor David made it easy and stress free. No pain and very clean job. 100% would recommend to anyone that wants a quality dentist!!
Thank you Cam, we are glad your first extraction went well :D
Fantastic experience: I feel so lucky to have found the perfect dentist in Dr Selers. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Pity I can only give him 5 stars!
Thank you Bill :)
Fantastic experience: Victor is thorough & extremely knowledgeable. I have learnt more about teeth & gum health than ever before. I wish I knew about him earlier. Fantastic & very passionate about his work.
Hi Julie Thank you kindly for your appreciation of the effort we go to help patients and thank you for referring your partner John. It was a pleasure to connect with him. It's truly the desire to help people that drives us and has helped us exceed patients expectations for 35 years.

Your comments lift our spirits and put smiles on our faces which makes for a perfect working day. Hope you have a great day too from Victor ,Ellie, April, Alexi and Narelle
Negative experience: I had expensive root canal therapy and Dr Seles doesn’t know what he was doing as I was in extreme pain during the procedure and few years later my tooth was infected and had to be removed. I would not recommend any dentistry work to be done here as plenty of other better options. All show but no go.
Hi Daniel, Dr Selers no longer work here, we are under new management and our staff are kind, gentle and competent. We hope you give us fresh new faces a chance
Fantastic experience: Very professional and very thorough. Dr Selers explained the procedure as he went at each stage. I had a small issue the day after the procedure and Dr Selers opened up the surgery late in the afternoon just for me, for something that took 10 minutes. Thanks for the concern Doc. Would highly recommend this dentist for personal and professional care.
Thank you Jason. Glad to be of service.
Fantastic experience: One of the most trusted dental treatment I had after a long time in Melbourne. Dr. Victor Selers was amazing and properly explained me the issues I was having with my gum infection. His traditional method of scaling process was smooth and helped me made plaque disappeared. I highly recommend Dr. Selers and his staff for your dental treatment or checkup. Thank you :)
Thank you Vivek for your feedback. It was a pleasure to look after you and we are grateful for your kind words which have put a big smile on our faces. :)
Fantastic experience: I hate going to the dentist and was dreading to go get 2 fillings , but it was the easiest experience I've ever had. Friendly professional staff. If you need to go to a dentist this is where you want to go .
Thanks from all the team Duncan it was a pleasure to look after you.
and appreciate your recommendation. We look forward to seeing you at your next visit. Have a great happy day! Dr Selers and the team.

Fantastic experience: Dr Victor Selers, Thank you for making me feel very comfortable with all procedures, for taking the time to explain the processes, and for seeing me at short notice when necessary! Jenni
Hi Jenni
Thank you its nice to have patients appreciate the extra things we do
Fantastic experience: Great service, friendly environment. Definitely recommend.
Thank you Ada for you confidence it makes us work even harder
Fantastic experience: We had a GREAT experience at Smile for Life! My 3 year old son had chipped his front tooth and was quite nervous about visiting the dentist. Dr. Selers took the extra time to make my son comfortable and got him laughing quickly, which allowed Dr Selers to give a thorough & complete check up. Victor then thoroughly explained & discussed with me next steps and best approaches to help remedy my son's front tooth. My 5 year old daughter then proceeded to have a great checkup and clean with Dr Victor & team. They are so good with kids at Smile for Life! The whole family will be returning.
Hi Lauren
We have a great time treating little ones so its always a pleasure. Thank you.
Negative experience: I wanted to get my teeth whitened but was nervous because I'd read a lot of conflicting information online about the right way to do it. I thought going to the health professional would help clear up my concerns but got no help here. Literally all I wanted was: a) information about how whitening works and the different options out there b) a quote for how much it would cost After sinking $200-ish for the initial clean, I repeatedly had my phone calls and emails about getting a quote ignored for a month. I would've gladly gone somewhere else but all the other dentists in my area insist on doing their own initial session (fair enough) and I'd already wasted my time/money here. Slow, awful customer service that made me feel guilty for wanting to know more about the service and how much it would cost before committing.
Hi Daniel, we are under new management and our staff are kind, gentle and competent. If you are still interested to know more about this service then we can offer you a complimentary consult and assessment
Fantastic experience: Very professional and amazing results
Thank you Sergio
Fantastic experience: Been coming to Dr Selers for over 5 years now and always have a lovely experience. Never feels rushed and always very gentle. Just had some whitening done for Christmas and very happy with the results. Thanks team!
Thank you Kate. We love looking after you too. Victor Elle Charlotte and Lauren
Fantastic experience: By far the best experience I have had at a dentist! Extremely professional and knowledgable, while also making me feel very relaxed and comfortable. My cleaning was done efficiently and my teeth and gums feel great afterward. Thanks for a great experience - I'll definitely see you again in 6 months (as I won't be dreading the dentist anymore and trying to push it off!)
Thanks Kristina
We really appreciated your comments. It puts a spring in our step to hear your feedback.
Thanks again

Negative experience: Awful, awful, awful.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended Dr Selers and team . Have been visiting here for the last 10 years . I recently completed Invisalign and am really happy with the result. Thanks for your patience and guidance with me trying to decide between braces and Invisalign.
Thanks for your Feedback Josh,. Great to hear from you.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr Selers and his team. I am anxious at the best of times, but this was the best visit I have ever had. Felt absolutely nothing. Very gentle and will be bringing in my entire family. Highly recommended over other places.
Hi Austin

kind regards
Victor
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! I got more personal attention at this clinic than l have ever had anywhere. Everyone makes you feel very special. I especially like how they keep asking if you are comfortable. I have never had a nicer experience at the dentist. Dr Selers was very patient with me in explaining things and I love the analogies and the toothbrush. Thank you Ellie for your follow up call you have a wonderful team.
Thank you so much Rosemary for your warm comments. It's really appreciated and we promise to continue looking after you and your friends.
Fantastic experience: I got a glass of water on arrival and orange juice when l finished. I was nervous after having had orthodontic treatment and root canal treatment in Sydney. I had three absolutely painless fillings and the experience here was first class. I am coming back for a smile makeover for my wedding. l would recommend the team with the loudest voice. And l scored a freebie brush!
Thanks for kind words Natasha and lovely to hear that you're happy with our service. Its nice to get your feedback and really puts a spring in our step. We promise to get those magazines we were talking about in for you.Have a great day and we look forward to seeing you at your next dental visit.
Negative experience: Do not go to this dentist. Doesn't use qualified dental assistants, just gets the girl on reception to assist and she clearly was not familiar with the equipment, kept making mistakes, dropping things etc. Highly unprofessional and not even sure if legal. Also failed to adequately brief me on a treatment which turned out to be intensely painful. I had been planning to drive home afterwards as I had no idea I would be so incapacitated. Had to call my partner to help me get home. Actually shocked by how awful the whole experience of going there was.
Hi Rose, we are under new management and our staff are kind, gentle and competent. The previous owner suggests that your review may not be related to our clinic, but if it is then we hope you give us fresh new faces a chance
Positive experience: Highly recommend Smile For Life,very friendly and professional staff that made me feel extremely comfortable. The dentist has a genuine concern and understadning for each patients needs, and I will continue to travel across town for the great service.
Thank you Fahime
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Dr Selers to my family and friends. Very professional. I normally feel nervous at dentist but felt relaxed throughout the entire appointment. Thanks again!
