Fantastic experience: My children 4 and 2 had their first visit to meet the beautiful team and dr Andy, we were shown the space and given little teeth mirrors which they loved!! We didn’t make it on the chair as they were a little bit overwhelmed but have been talking about the visit and tv on the ceiling. Thank you for making my children feel so welcome and comfortable Xx

Simeon Levin 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Andy Huntington and his team are amazing! I recently moved to the Bay and finding a great dentist was important to me. I needed a tooth extracted today because of a painful abscess under the tooth. Andy made time to see me this morning and then again this afternoon. He explained everything in simple terms, checked in with me through the procedure and I was done and dusted within an hour. It was late in the day, so Andy arranged for one of his team to pop down to the pharmacy before it closed, with my script. What a great experience (for someone who is petrified about going to the dentist). I’m so grateful for having found such a wonderful dental team and recommend Nelson Bay Dental without hesitation

Nathan Fletcher 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I was on holiday in Sydney and Nelson bay when I had several days of pretty terrible pain due to a filling touching a nerve in my tooth. I called Nelson bay dental to get an emergency X-ray. They squeezed me in only 20 minutes later, identified the problem and agreed to stay late in order to carry out the first stage of root canal. They were very friendly, competent and made me feel like I was in great hands too. I feel like a new human now and could not recommend these guys enough. Dr Andrew Huntington and team were brilliant.

David Keen 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: You pick your "go to dentist" for a reason. I had my annual check- up. Greeted promptly and courteously by front-of-house staff. Ushered to the dental chair by a friendly nurse and happily greeted by the dentist. The team preformed the job thoroughly and professionally and provided advice for future treatments. The reason you go back is because they are so good!

Elaine O’hearn 1 year ago

Tom Godfrey 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: A visit to the dentist often conjures up fears of a medieval torture chamber :0 How different though, was my first visit to Nelson Bay Dental. The team, ably led by, Andy, an experienced Dentist with engaging good humour and a high level of skills, quickly and painlessly sorted out my capped tooth, which had snapped off at gum level. Andy made sure I understood the process from start to finish. The outcome exceeded my expectations- I’ll be baaaak :) Thank you all.
