At Geelong Dental Centre we understand that for many people, coming to the dentist is not an enjoyable experience. Our philosophy is that good communication from a practitioner who listens can make the world of difference to your experience. At every appointment we encourage you to ask questions, which we answer in a clear and non-medical manner so that you will feel confident and well informed to make the best decision.
In the event of a dental emergency, we will make every effort to attend to you within the same day, mostly likely within an hour (during working hours).

Fantastic experience: Great caring dentist
Fantastic experience: I was apprehensive about having major dental. Dr. Walsh, as did all the staff, explained everything involved. For me going from a situation of having less than average teeth, no smile confidence to now, great teeth and a real bite has been life changing
We're delighted to hear about your experience with Dr Andrew Welsh. Thank you for sharing.
Regards, Geelong Dental Centre.

Hi Maggie,
It is wonderful to hear that you experienced such positive results.
Thanks again for choosing Geelong Dental Centre as your trusted dentist. We'll see you next time!
Fantastic experience: Andrew Welsh and his team are incredible, friendly, professional and thorough and made me feel comfortable and cared for, I can't recommend them highly enough.
Thanks Paige, it was great seeing you in clinic. We really appreciate your kind words, and glad you had a great experience.
Regards, Geelong Dental Centre.
Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment with Dr J Wong and it was an excellent experience. Booking was super easy and I got the reminder I needed! The place was easy to find, with lots of parking, and the facilities are excellent. Josiah made me feel very at ease and talked me through what we would be doing. He gave me lots of options for my treatment and ensured I understood what was happening with my teeth and some reasons why too. All the staff were kind and the hygienist was delightful. Aside from those important things I just wanted to also add that I have been ashamed of my teeth for over a decade, hiding them due to the stains and discolouring. After today I'm smiling from ear to ear. He cleaned them so well and even removed the stubborn yellowing that I thought was permanent. I feel a million bucks today. Thanks Dr Wong! Thanks team!
Thanks for your lovely feedback Nick, it's great to hear, we look forward to seeing you next time. regards the GDC team
Fantastic experience: Very happy here. Denist Andrew is skilled & professional with many years of experience. Friends recommended Andrew. It has been one of my best decisions. My teeth are looking very glam. Clinic is so welcoming, with the best customer service.
Hi Taylor, thank you for your positive feedback! We have enjoyed taking care of you. All the best with the move! Geelong Dental Centre.
Fantastic experience: Not being local to the Geelong community, this wonderful dentist team fitted me in upon request due to a sore tooth. I spoke to Monica in reception who was incredibly professional and kind. Dr Walsh was the dentist I had the pleasure of seeing - he was prompt and helped me as much as he could even keeping my local dentist in the loop which was received happily on the other end. Would highly recommend this dentist to anyone and everyone. Thank you for being so helpful.
Thanks so much for the feedback Ellie, it was a pleasure taking care of you. All the best! The team at Geelong Dental Centre.
Fantastic experience: I recently had all on 4 surgery through Geelong Dental and implant Centre. I am still going through the process but the after care I have received is second to none. The staff are extremely professional, caring and competent and have incredible technology. I am extremely grateful for the care I have received so far and glad that I chose to go with them. I consider myself an 'anxious' dental patient but the professionals at Geelong Dental Centre have made my journey as stress free as possible. Thanks to Andrew and your fabulous staff. Garry T. Portarlington Vic.
Thanks so much for taking the time to give us feedback Garry. We are excited to be on this journey with you and can't wait to see your final outcome. The team at Geelong Dental Centre.
Fantastic experience: I have been attending Geelong Dental Implant Clinic for many years & always have had a great experience with all the dentists & staff, the girls, out the front are always friendly

Thanks for your feedback Susan, we appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Excellent, thorough and pain free dental care. Staff are friendly, welcoming and highly professional. Highly recommend - going to the dentist is now a positive experience.
Hi Jen, so glad to hear that! Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it!
Negative experience: Utterly disappointed. Wish I stayed away from this place because they are just regular dentists, not specialist periodontists. This means that they can do basic procedures but for more advanced procedures you need to see a specialist. Don't expect them to tell you this because they don't want to lose out on a customer. Very greedy and unethical! Going here ended up costing me a lot of money and what's worse Dr Stolz almost ruined any chance of me ever getting an implant on my 41 tooth. Had I not found a specialist periodontist I would have had to wear a bridge. If you have thin bones like me, I highly recommend staying away from this practice since they do not specialise in restoration of bone mass (they say they do but they are not qualified to do this). Perhaps they are capable of doing implants for people with thick bone mass. I also found the hygienic practices to be of mediocre standard. It has been over a year and a half since I saw Dr Stolz and I'm still undergoing procedures to restore the state of my bone. Luckily I found an excellent specialist periodontist who doesn't cut any corners and is highly qualified with this work. Update: despite Dr Stolz's pessimism in his reply, the dental implant performed by a qualified periodontist turned out a success. The chance of success for the implant was reduced from an estimated 97% to 70% by the periodontist. The reason for the reduced success estimate? He first had to undo the poor work done by Dr Stolz. Regardless, the implant procedure had succeeded and since I have had other dentists compliment the work done by my periodontist in Melbourne. Dr Stolz's claim that he carried out no treatment on me is a blatant lie. Dr Stolz had removed my 41 tooth and had a poor attempt at a bone graft procedure that should only be performed by a licensed periodontist. Update #2: Following my initial review, Dr Stolz replied to this Google review, prompting me to add the first update above. He has since taken down his reply. I'm writing this so that people are aware of him doing this, and so that my initial update makes sense when reading. Update #3: it has been over 10 years since I had my implant and it’s still going strong. Dr Gary Yip in Balwyn saved my smile in the prime of my life. If I could I’d give zero stars to Geelong Dental Centre.
Fantastic experience: Wow! I have just had an implant placed, everything was explained thoroughly, did not even feel the injection. What a caring/gentle experience- THANK YOU to Dr.Andrew Welsh & his team - very much appreciated.
Thanks so much for your review Donna, it was a pleasure taking care of you! We look forward to seeing you again soon. Kind regards, Geelong Dental Centre.
Fantastic experience: My experience here has been great!
Fantastic experience: A dental clinic I don’t dread going. Everyone’s so nice and helpful :)
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend "GEELONG DENTAL CENTRE" enough! A big thankyou to Andrew for your professionalism and your understanding in fixing the problems with my teeth ... I am so very happy with the end result ... you are gentle and kind and everything a dentist should be! A big shout out to all the staff too who went above and beyond to ensure I was always happy! You need look no further for a better dentist in Geelong. 5 stars.
Fantastic experience: Was great to attend, Claudia was wonderful and the clinic was modern and comfortable with pleasant staff throughout.
Fantastic experience: Attended geelong dental centre for the first time yesterday for a check up after my previous dental practice changed hands and I wanted somewhere closer to home. After returning today for some additional work I can confidently say the welcoming vibe, expert & honest advice, and relaxed but professional approach to dentistry will see me return. Many thanks to the staff and highly recommend if you are due for a check up.
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff! Very caring and they make you feel comfortable!
Fantastic experience: Dr Andrew Walsh is the best dentist I have ever seen. I had immediate full upper denture and Andrew went above and beyond to ensure a great result. Couldn't recommend highly enough. They look fantastic and I am more happy than words can explain.
Fantastic experience: Andrew J is a legend. I always have hassles with my teeth but he has gone above and beyond in his treatment of a difficult root canal and nasty extraction. Cannot recommend highly enough
Fantastic experience: I moved from a Melbourne Dentist to Geelong Dental and Implant and regret I did not have the contact year's earlier. Highly respectful of my elderly mum, innovative solutions for both of us for our dental issues. Resilient and did not stop until they found solutions that put her at ease as well as myself. I cannot recommend Tim, Andrew and their staff highly enough. All staff there the nurses and reception exude professionalism and care and that combination is rare. I will go nowhere else.
Fantastic experience: I am not very enthusiastic when I have to visit a dentist BUT I come here for many years for different procedures and always feel save and well treated when the dentist does what he has to do. I can recommend this place without doubt.
Fantastic experience: The reception staff are always very friendly and helpful. Andrew and Andrew are fabulous
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff and extremely good dentists. Always run on time, no long waits in reception. Will quote before major dental work so no surprises.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Geelong Dental for over 20 years. I have always found the staff very attentive to my personal comfort during treatment. Their advice is thorough and to the point. The premises are modern, clean and easily accessible. Brian Saunders
Fantastic experience: My experiences over the 11 years of attending The Geelong Dental and Implant Center have all been positive. Not many people enjoy a trip to the Dentist and Initially I was a very nervous patient when I moved from Melbourne. Beside checkups and occasional fillings, I had some cosmetic work done on a dead tooth which was very successful and can happily report that I am now quite relaxed during appointments because I have confidence in the Dentists. I
Fantastic experience: Was very satisfied and happy with the the dentist job done on me.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and experienced staff. I always go here with confidence. Thank you Geelong Dental!
Fantastic experience: My experience with Dr James and surrounding staff has nothing been short of exceptional. Cannot fault the service and the professionalism at this Dental practice, whether its been my general check up to the more complicated procedures such as a cavity filling. Been a patient for 2 years and counting. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: The staff are always friendly and helpful. Dr Timothy Stolz is professional and an expert in his field of practice. I had my implant 16 years ago and it has made a huge difference to my ability to eat lots of food, especially biting into an apple!
Fantastic experience: I've been a patient of Tim Stoltz and his team for 30 years. I'm 51. I highly recommend his services. He is particularly considerate if you have issues with gag reflex. I would not go anywhere else. Andrew Price
Fantastic experience: First class ... highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Could not be happier with the services from Geelong Dental & Implant Centre. Dr. Stolz and his staff were professional , courteous and confident during my procedure and I was at ease from the moment I walked into the clinic. I would definitely recommend!
Negative experience: I really wish that I could rate Dr Stolz less than one star. Several years ago I went to his practice for 6 dental crowns. Dr Stolz seemed very confident and assured me of the treatment he suggested. However, after the surgery was completed I was left and still suffer from a great deal of pain and discomfort. I now wished that I would have checked the online reviews of his other patients on his Facebook Business page and Google. After the surgery was completed, Dr Stolz was a different person. I had to visit his clinic at least 5 or 6 occasions and all he told me was to 'take a holiday on a beach for a few weeks' or shrugged his shoulders and told me there was nothing he could do. If you are looking for a dentist in Geelong who is rude, incompetent and will treat you like garbage once you have paid the invoice Dr Stolz is your person. However, if you value honesty, integrity and good workmanship there are many other options in Geelong. Read the other reviews on the Internet and stay away from this dental practise!
Fantastic experience: I want to thank the Geelong Dental and Implant Centre and particularly Dr Tim Stolz for the exceptional care and excellent treatment over the last few years. I have experienced great satisfaction in care and ongoing treatment. The changes to my teeth have made a big difference to my quality of life. It has been well worth the effort to travel the 2 hrs to receive this specialised care.
Fantastic experience: Great customer service with lots of smiles from the staff the moment I walked in the door. Very professional service in a friendly atmosphere.
