Fantastic experience: Amazing! So so professional, Dr Elgar went over and above and solved all my dilemmas I’m one session. They didn’t even charge for my X-ray, which was very generous. Miss Elly cleaned my teeth and she was so gentle I didn’t flinch once. I would 1000% recommend Sundial. Thank you so much!

Tony Stephen 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing service and facilities. I broke a molar while on a trip to Port Macquarie. Sundial dental had a short notice appointment- gave me options to replace the filling or fit a crown. I elected the crown - A procedure that normally takes weeks - they were able to create the crown in house and have it fitted the same day I broke the tooth. John and the staff were absolutely amazing from start to finish.

Hi Tony,

Robert Lofthouse 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Sundial Dental. I've been going there for a number of years and I always found it a very comfortable and friendly atmosphere. But an experience I had last week deserves accolades. I cracked my two front teeth and that required crowns. In and out in about 1 hour, a painless procedure and I walked out with 2 front teeth beautifully restored. These guys 3D scan your teeth, adjust the scan as necessary and custom make the crowns on site. No more temporary crowns and waiting days for them to be made somewhere else. So if all you want for Xmas is two front teeth, (or anything else for that matter) these are the guys to do it. Great staff. excellent technicians and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. 10 out of 10.

Jewel duck 1 year ago

Negative experience: Reception and nurses terrific. Dentist not so much. After much research and a decision made and forwarded to staff via telephone to ensure everything was in place before appointment to have extraction ready for an implant at another surgery down the track. All ok with staff no problem, helpful and accomodating. All done to ease anxiety and wanting a good outcome. The first thing dentist ask was what are we doing. Hadn’t read any notes or history. Didn’t even attempt. After discussion he pulled the tooth, gave no after care except to take Panadol. Nearly $400 10 min work thank you. Personal patient care zero. Googled extraction care. Nope not happy Jan. Not professional. Not caring.

Sundial Dental
Sundial Dental

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. While we’re glad to hear you felt supported by our reception and nursing team, we’re genuinely sorry to learn that your experience with the dentist didn’t meet your expectations. We understand how important it is to feel listened to and well-informed—especially during an extraction—and it’s clear we missed the mark for you.

This isn’t the standard of care we aim to deliver, and we would appreciate the chance to look into this further and address your concerns directly. Please feel free to contact our management team on (02) 6583 3533 so we can discuss what happened and see how we can make things right.

Your feedback is valued and will be shared with the team to help us improve.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your feedback—we’re glad to hear you were happy with the service, though we’re sorry to hear the cost left you feeling disappointed. The fee you mentioned likely included a full examination, diagnostic x-rays, and a restoration—all done in one visit using high-quality materials and careful technique to ensure long-term durability.

That said, we understand dental treatment can be a significant investment, and we’re always happy to provide a clear breakdown of costs upfront or discuss options to help manage them.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and we hope to see you again in future.

Being Goh 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: After moving to Port few years back, tried out 4 local dentists wiith high regards in town, I found Dr Elfar stood up above all - technical skills. 2 days ago I needed an emergency tooth extraction, staff Fran (great listening skill and came across a caring personal)managed to get me a spot at Taree..Thank you Fran. And of course I insisted only Dr Elfar, as I trusted his work. It is very fortunate that Port/Taree/etc have a skillful dentist available. I had a bad work done and ill advice 20 years ago and I still paying for that price. So it is very important to have skillful dentist. So THANK YOU Dr Elfar for your talent, I'm very blessed.

Brandon took the time to explain the issues with my teeth, using diagrams and simple language that made it easy for me to understand. I will certainly be going back to Sundial and would encourage others to do so. Valerie Wood June 30 2022

Fantastic experience: I am terrified of dentists and first came to Sundial for treatment for advanced gum disease. I had laser therapy and all symptoms of the disease have disappeared. Amazing results. My only regret is that I didn’t have my treatment sooner. I can highly recommend Peter and the team at Sundial Dental

Fantastic experience: When I arrived I was so worked up, full of anxiety and crying, the two ladies at reception talked to me calmly and without judgement, got me a glass of water and sat me down. Martin had been given the information of what were my triggers, this was wonderful not having to explain again. Feeling a calm I had not experienced before. I followed him to the room where he was gentle and understanding, explaining everything and checking I was okay as he proceeded. He and the lovely nurse assisting never made me feel silly or embarrassed. I am looking forward to finally having dental work done that should have been done years ago, with the aid of the gas. Would recommend them to anyone frightened or anxious
