Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Josh at the clinic as I needed a root canal urgently and I don't live in Melbourne. Being severely immuno-compromised the risk of any procedure is highly dangerous for me and Josh made sure that all my treatments went cleanly and perfectly. Anyone undergoing cancer treatment and requiring dental work should consider using his services. I am so impressed with this practice I will seriously consider travelling back from NSW for any further treatments required. Thanks to Josh and his team. GINA STARR
Hi Gina,
Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re so glad Josh and the team could help with your root canal and make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. Your recommendation means a lot, and we’d be more than happy to welcome you back anytime for future treatments. Good luck with the move to NSW, we hope to see you soon.
Warm regards,

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Dr Joshua Gower more highly! My son had a very painful wisdom tooth coming through requiring immediate attention and Dr Gower was fantastic - offering helpful advice and solutions. According to reports from the patient Dr Gower's anaesthetic delivery is the best and unlike other Dentists, his injections didn't hurt a bit. A very happy patient on the mend now, "The best experience I've ever had at the Dentist" - which is pretty good considering he had a wisdom tooth removed!! Thanks so much :)
We are so glad your son had such a great experience! Thank you for leaving such a great review of our services!

Fantastic experience: Awesome practice!
Thanks for the review Michael!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Nihal is an extraordinarily kind, thorough, patient, and honest dentist. My experience at The Pines was by very far the smoothest and most comfortable I’ve had at a dental clinic. I’m both relieved and stoked to have found Dr. Nihal, and he has immediately become my dentist of choice. I don’t think I could recommend Dr. Nihal and the team at The Pines any more highly without beginning to sound insincere!
Thanks for the great review Aleks! We hope to see you again soon
Fantastic experience: During my stay in Melbourne, I visited Pines Dental Centre. Dr. Nihal attended to me with great warmth and care. Deep cleaning procedure was done by Dr. Nihal with a very minimal discomfort. He also recommended mouth splint for my bruxism. The splint provided by the doctor is very comfortable and gives me undisturbed sleep. I am really grateful to the whole team.
Hi Jayashree,

Fantastic experience: The world’s best dentist! During my travel to melbourne I had an emergency dental visit.

Fantastic experience: This is my first time here. Dr. Kiran is wonderful. Front office is welcoming and helpful. Office is clean n quite and easy access with parking.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to The Pines Dental Centre for several years now, and have seen multiple dentists there including Dr Jocelyn Eer, Dr Kiran Nayak as well as Dr Ni Fung Lay. All the dentists there are extremely competent. They provide their services at a fair price and are also the member’s choice for many of the major health funds, meaning that I can get the maximum health fund benefits by visiting them. Could not recommend this place more!!!

We kindly ask that you contact our team on 9846 2633 so we can clarify the details and ensure we are addressing the correct matter.
We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your experience. At The Pines Dental Centre, we pride ourselves on providing gentle, high-quality dental care, and feedback of this nature is extremely uncommon.
