AVD Team
Fantastic experience: A great example to all dentistry and medical settings. They are the only dentist in Sydney, as far as I am aware, that continues to implement excellent clean air safety measures in order to protect their patients and staff during the ongoing pandemic.
Thanks Matt. I really appreciate the feedback.
We intend to keep our clean air measures in place.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing service from the Annandale Village Dentistry team, especially from Dr Emma Katz and her assistant. I moved to the area recently and needed some urgent dental care done on a public holiday weekend. George at reception squeezed me into a same day appointment, thank you George. The clinic itself is easy to find and very hygienic. Dr Katz extracted the offending tooth with patience and precision and answered all of my silly questions. She also took the time to check up on me a few days later, which was something no other dentist has done for me before and I really appreciated the level of care she provided, both during and after the procedure. Thank you Dr Katz and the team at Annandale Village Dentistry.
Thank you Yen for your lovely review were happy to hear you had such a pleasant experience at our practice! We look forward to seeing you in the future :)

Fantastic experience: Very happy with kind and empathetic manner of dentist towards kid. Very happy with COVID safety protocols. Reception staff also very polite and helpful. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your lovely review here and on twitter.
Fantastic experience: I saw Dr Gordon Howe a few months ago regarding jaw pain. I was completely amazed by his thorough care and the time he took to provide dental care. I have recommended him to several friends and they all say the same thing!
Thanks for your lovely comments Eliza.
Fantastic experience: Great experience again. Lucky to have such a good local dentist. James is fantastic with kids.
Fantastic experience: Without a doubt the best dentist I’ve visited. Had a tooth stain problem I couldn’t get sorted for almost twenty years. Countless other dentists told me I needed crowns or veneers but James managed to sort it out with a simple cleaning. He was frank, honest and informative. I truly got the sense this dentist had my best interests at heart without trying to sell me procedures I didn’t need to raise revenue. All staff were very friendly and Professional. I won’t be going anywhere else in the future.
Tom, thank you for your kind words. We're happy to help and look forward to working with you again in the future.
James
Fantastic experience: James was possibly the kindest, unjudgemental and gentle dentist I've been to in my life! He explained everything to me and let me make my own decisions without any hard sell. I'm super impressed and have and will recommend him to others. Thanks
Hi Tracy, thank you very much for the kind words! I'm glad to have been able to help you :)
Fantastic experience: Excellent dental practice. James was fantastic.
Fantastic experience: I am a very nervous dental patient and on Thursday I had my first consultation with Dr James Pomfret. What an excellent dentist he is, he made me feel comfortable and as relaxed as I could be at the dentist not only that but his singing Britney Spears with the nurse made me laugh. Thank you for easing my nerves and fears of dentists.
Fantastic experience: Gordon and his staff are so amazing. Simply the best treatment I've ever received. The dental work is super gentle and patient friendly and the customer experience as a whole is superior. They all go above and beyond.
Thank you Bree. It was a pleasure to meet you.
Fantastic experience: Went there on an recommendation .... was not disappointed. Have found our new dentist .... Dr Gordon Howe, thank you for your excellent work.
Thank you Jenny. I really appreciate the feedback.
Fantastic experience: Most trusted dentist for fife years already. There are no second chances with your teeth in life. 10/10 for Dr Gordon Howe.
Thanks Pia. It's always a pleasure to look after you.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Gordon for over 10 years now and I would highly recommend him to everyone of all ages. Gordon has always remained ahead of the technology curve, you will find the latest and greatest technology to improve your smile and to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. You won't find a dentist that loves their job more than Gordon. He is a wealth of knowledge.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. James is a friendly professional and very competent dentist, also excellent with children and teenagers.
Fantastic experience: Best dentist experience ever. This is some one who rarely goes because of being so scared. Will not be anxious in future. Can't praise this place.
Thank you for the lovely review Christine. It was a pleasure to look after you today.
Fantastic experience: Gordon is a now a local hero. He Is the best physician you can experience. This is my 4th time and the whole family now visit. He takes local dentistry to a new level with all the latest equipment and techniques. In fact I don’t really want to tell anyone as he is booked out in advance now. However the way he works with his tooth scanner you know in advance what needs to be done in the future as he can track each tooth electronically which you can see realtime as he records any changes and improves your dental health overal before it gets out of control. You can See it for yourself and know its not BS and choose your own adventure. It’s is A total game game changer as he works on your total oral health to alway be improving, even if your on a budget or like me don’t like going until its to late or you really have to. You will save money long term with this approach as there are no more big surprises and you will rock a great smile.
Thank you for the lovely review James. It's always nice to see you and your family.
Fantastic experience: Reasonably priced, and notably beyond excellent quality of service. Both Gordon and Shelley are genuine, friendly and got the job done expediently, professionally with a few jokes thrown in. I am confident to go back knowing that ill be getting the best treatment.
Thanks for the review Yogesh. It was very nice to meet you and to help you out today.
Fantastic experience: Being a chocolate maker, I know about dentists. Gordon is at the top of his profession. Very reasonable on the fees. Works with you on the decisions and the man can sing... .reasonably well.
Thanks Casey. It's great to see you and catch up when you come in.
I'll make sure that next time you come in we've got Phantom of the Opera playing...just for you!
And I can't deny that your chocolate is irresistible.
Fantastic experience: I've been a patient of Gordon's since his days at Manly and he is the best dentist I have visited in my 40 years. He is very thorough, shares his knowledge with you so you understand what's happening, and is very friendly. He just gives you confidence that you are getting the best treatment available. I recommend him to my friends whenever they are looking for a dentist and they all report back with the same experiences.
Hi Mark,
I really appreciate that you left me a review.
It's always a pleasure to see you and to look after you.
Thanks.
Gordon.
Fantastic experience: A wonderful dentist experience. I couldn't be happier. I was travelling through Sydney, searching for a dentist to address a sudden issue. The team were very efficient in organising an urgent appointment. Dr. James Pomfret was empathetic and thorough. Not only did they find a resolution for a problem they suggested advice to address ongoing issues (grinding) and sent through information and notes for me to take to my home dentist abroad. The fees were very reasonable (as far as what I know about dentistry goes). They made a follow up call and were extremely helpful. I highly recommend this excellent dental practice!
Hi Renee,
Thank you for the kind review :) We're happy we could have helped you out.
All the best,
James
Fantastic experience: I have had many dentists over the years and I can confidently say Gordon is the best. His empathy and professionalism is incredible. Not only did he help me where my previous dentist didn't he really felt for me like a friend would rather than just a client. He called me up the following day to check in on me and organised further medicine by calling up a pharmacy near me to help. Not only that he also rearranged his schedule and stayed late on a Saturday to make sure I was pain free before my holiday. Such a legend and lucky to have found him. Thanks Gordon.
Thanks for your review Bjorn.
I really appreciate that you took the time.
Regards,
Gordon
Fantastic experience: This guy, Gordon Howe, is the best dentist in the whole wide world.
Thank you.
:-)
Gordon
Fantastic experience: I have avoided the dentist for 5 years and finally convinced myself to see one. I saw Dr. Pomfret and he was brilliant. He was very kind and empathetic, explained everything he was doing, and I didn't feel like he was rushing me out the door. During my second and most recent appointment I went for a filling, I didn't even feel the needle! I highly recommend their team, it was the best experience I have ever had at the dentist.
Hi Phoebe, thanks for the review! We keep up to date with the latest technology in order to make everyone as comfortable as possible, especially with our anaesthetic techniques. I'm very happy you had a comfortable experience!
-James
Fantastic experience: I visited Dr James Pomfret at this practice and he was amazing. It was my first time visiting the dentist in... I wont disclose how many years and James made me feel at ease. My teeth feel amazing! Thank you :-)
Thanks for the review, Kara! I'm glad we could give you a positive experience.
-James
Fantastic experience: I followed Dr Gordon Howe from his previous practice in Manly. He is the most wonderful dentist! He is thorough, fast and very gentle. He did my veneers 8 years ago and they are spectacular! They are natural looking and lovely. He is also excellent with children! My kids love visiting the dentist.
Thank you Stephanie. It's always a pleasure to see you and your family.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Gordon since 2002. At the time I was trying like crazy to find a good dentist to no avail. I walked into his practice and never looked back. He is the utmost professional, he knows exactly what he is doing and he keeps the lines of communication open with his patients. You never get the sense you are just a number, he talks to you, asks and explains to you exactly what is going on and why... He makes you a part of the experience so you never feel left out, when you leave, you know exactly what happened and why... He has a lovely bedside manner and the best thing about him is that he has a integrity, he will never take you for a ride or try to prescribe something you do not need. All in all his integrity is his strongest feature. If he tells me this or that has to be done I absolutely comply! Because all these years he has showed me that he is on my side and he wants to help me the best he can. He is a jewel of the profession and anyone who happens to come his way is very lucky indeed. From one of his loving patients, Alba Barrientos
Thank you Alba. It has truly been a pleasure to have looked after you for all these years.
Fantastic experience: I went to see Gordon for the first time after perhaps putting off a dentist visit a little too long. He was patient and gentle, and explained each step he was doing, and why, and what I should be doing and why. The check and clean was super gentle and thorough, and he was friendly, reassuring and observant. I can't recommend Gordon and his team highly enough.
Thanks Nicky. I was lovely to see you.
Fantastic experience: Gordon is legit the nicest dentist I have ever seen and he and all his staff are so wonderful and friendly and professional. Very reasonable fees too.
Thanks for the great review Callum. It was really nice to meet you.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic and really communicative dentist. Dr Howe describes very clearly what is in your best interest in terms of treatment and walks you through the why's and 'howe-to's' (my terrible pun, not his). Definitely feel confident with his judgement and the cost is really competitive too. The dentistry itself is brand new, the staff are lovely, and if you're lucky the screen on the ceiling might be playing Mr Bean when you're in the chair. Also has a nice mini TV and headphones out the front for little ones. 10/10
Thanks for the review Angus. It was a pleasure to look after you.
Fantastic experience: I have visited several local dentist and was actively looking for a good one as My child broke a front tooth in a pool. Gordon has just gone out on his own and you feel the difference dealing with the owner who lives in the area. He goes the extra mile and was reasonable with his fees and help keep cost down. He did a awesome job to match the colour and look after my son. Thanks Gordon
Thanks for the great review James.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Gordon for many years - I used to travel from my home in the inner west to his previous practice in the Northern Beaches. I am thrilled he is now a 10 minute drive from me in Annandale. He is hands down the best dentist I have ever come across and is also amazing with kids. My 4yo was hiding under a chair in the waiting room before his check up - however Gordon had him giggling in the dentists chair within moments. Thanks Gordon!!
Thanks Elissa. It's been a great pleasure to have been your dentist for so many years.
Fantastic experience: If you're looking here, you are thinking of trying this dental practice. I'm 64 years old, and Dr Howe is one of the best, if not the best, dentists I've found. My introduction was a wisdom tooth extraction that another dentist could not do for ages. I was impressed by his ability, professionalism and the job he did. Try him, you won't be disappointed.
Thank you for the review Michael. It was lovely to meet you.
I always worry for my patients if I have to do such an invasive procedure on our first visit so I'm glad that it was a positive experience for you.
