Hawthorn East Dental

Fantastic experience: I've been going to this clinic for follow-up appointments for about 10 months now, and the procedure I had was orthodontic treatment. My doctor is David, and he's a very meticulous and professional doctor. He's very patient in explaining things to you, including dental cleaning and other related knowledge. There's no need to worry about the language barrier, as he's fluent in both English and Mandarin. The environment was exceptionally clean, doctors changed gloves frequently, and all equipment was sterilized. 5 starts for all of friendly staff and Doctor!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr David for over 4 years .As a lady of a certain age, I have had many experiences with dentists over the decades. Without doubt Dr David is the kindest, most skilful dentist and orthodontist. He explains everything and is very considerate and experienced. My family members use him. I have no hesitation recommending him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Our family highly recommends David and his staff for their professionalism, compassion and reassuring services. David has supported our family through difficult dental journeys and always taking the time to thoroughly explain procedures and treatment options with honesty and integrity, in a way that no other dentists have provided for us before.

The friendly and welcoming receptionists also provide wonderful little gifts for young children to visit and feel less anxious about. From emergency dental work for my family member to my recent wisdom teeth surgery, David and his staff have show genuine care towards us and deserve a 10 star review if this was possible! Thank you for your exceptional service and I look forward to my next visit!

Fantastic experience: I have always had high dental anxiety, but my recent visits to Hawthorn East Dental have been the most positive experience I’ve ever had at a dentist. Dr Cao was incredibly calm, patient, and kind throughout both appointments. He constantly checked in with me to ensure I was comfortable and at ease. I highly recommend Dr Cao to anyone who needs a safe, comfortable dental experience - especially those who may have anxiety about dental visits. Thank you for making my experience so pleasant and - dare I say it - relaxing!

Fantastic experience: I suffer with some anxiety when having dental work done due to difficulty breathing through my nose, Dr David Cao is so patient and kind to me and over the course of a few visits has made me feel much calmer. He coaches me through the sessions, provides lots of breaks, and always checks in to ensure I am feeling okay - a level of care I have not received from other clinics where my anxiety was often dismissed as being "silly". Very grateful to have found Hawthorn East Dental as I now feel at ease when planning a trip to the dentist which I never thought would be the case.

Fantastic experience: Great service

Fantastic experience: Love or hate the dentist, this is the place to go! The entire team is absolutely lovely and every experience I have had with them has been gentle and caring. Dr Fujihara and Anja are both fantastic at what they do and always make me feel at ease. Bonus points for being able to watch Seinfeld on the TV on the roof whilst having work done!

Fantastic experience: I am the classic patient with a deep fear of dental work. After putting off much-needed work for 7 years, I was left with no option to attend a dentist. After searching and reading reviews for Hawthorn East Dental, I made an appointment. I was absolutely blown away by the empathetic care and expertise of Dr Ryuun Fujihara. He did not minimise the fear I was experiencing and made me feel very comfortable. So much so, work that I would have ordinarily booked in to be done under general anaesthetic, I booked in to have completed in the practice such was my confidence with Dr Ryuun. On the day, my nerves were managed comfortably and worked progressed as I felt comfortable. Dr Ryuun and Jess could not have been more accommodating and the procedure itself was a breeze and over before I knew it. I cannot recommend the team at Hawthorn East Dental highly enough. Their expertise, warmth, modern and welcoming practice are very deserving of the highest recommendation. Special thanks also to Dr David Cao, who made me feel equally comfortable and confident during my visits.

Fantastic experience: amazing dentists!

Fantastic experience: I did a root canal and crown here. I am very happy with my treatment result. Dr David Cao is nice, warm and most importantly super skillful and knowledgeable. I think he is the best dentist I have ever seen.

Fantastic experience: I used to really dislike the dentist and find it hard to trust their recommendations - and for that reason I've been to quite a few dentists. HOWEVER, Dr David Cao is the BEST dentist I have ever had. He calm and gentle and has an amazing manner. Importantly, the best thing about Dr Cao is that he takes the time to actually explain to you what is going on with your teeth, so you leave feeling empowered to make decisions regarding your dental health, rather than confused. Lastly, the assistants and receptionists are extremely nice and helpful! I highly recommend this practice!

Negative experience: I was quite patient to see how my teeth feels after getting fillings done here almost a year ago but I still feel light pain when eating food. I was looked after a young dentist and he was very kind but not sure if he did a good job. I even went back to grind more but he said it's because of something else. But if I feel pain "after" the filling job done and "only" when I eat food it's obviously because the stuff filed in are too high. I couldn't trust and grinded a little myself and it's wayyy better but still not happy with how it was done there

Fantastic experience: Really good service. Excellent dentist and staff.

Fantastic experience: The best dental experience I think I've ever had. Friendliness and upmost comfort, definitely my go-to dentist from here on out. Dr Fujihara is a legend!
