Dr Damian Clarke has been my family dentist for the past 25 years. I've never really had any scary…read moredental work done, but both my parents have, and they would never go to anyone but Damian. Due to a location change, I recently had to visit another dentist. He came highly recommended and was very competent, but he was a little rough, didn't have the best bedside manner, and said that I needed a bunch of very expensive preventative work. I realised then how good I'd had it with Dr Clarke and his lovely, experienced team. They are honest about what needs to be done, but don't go crazy suggesting work that may or may not be required. All the dentists there are noticeably super experienced, which puts even the biggest scaredy cat at ease. And everyone is so cheerful and pleasant, I've never really felt like going to the dentist is a chore. I've removed a star only because of the wait time; even as a 25-year patient, I still have to book kind of far in advance, and it can be tricky getting in at short notice - particularly during school holidays. But if you are the type to plan out your dentist appointments, you'll be AOK. Overall, highly recommend the whole team, especially Dr Clarke.

Five stars. We went…read morehere for part of my daughters procedure and I was so pleased with the time we spent here. We had a consult with Dr Kestenberg and he was so in depth we knew exactly what was happening and what we were in for. He gave us all the information and armed us with exactly what he was going to do and when. I got to watch the surgery from directly above and his work was precise, clean and efficient. Afterwards we got led to another room where he watched her and made sure what she was doing was normal and checked how we all felt about the whole thing. Highly recommend him, a feeling of ease at times like these are what is needed!

The bloke who cleaned and checked my teeth today was excellent - for one reason above all - he explained why everything was happening and why my teeth are the way they are etc. It was not only a dental appointment, but an educational session too!

I just had my first consult with Dr. Braydon Patterson and had a great experience at the clinic…read more The customer service was friendly, efficient and professional. I felt very comfortable asking any questions that I had about the procedures/treatment. Dr. Patterson's assistant Loretta was lovely and gave me a lot of informative and personalised insight into the specific orthodontic treatments that were suitable for my teeth and the pricing options for each of them felt very reasonable and affordable.

Our daughter required minor adjustment of one of her front teeth. After 8 months and over $8,500…read moredollars we had to go to another orthodontist. The new orthodontist had it fixed in 4 weeks at about one tenth the cost. The premises are bright and modern but it is really like a factory. One of those was a 'consulting' visit. Of the remaining seven, 4 were to fix the brace that had come off. Only 3 appointments actually provided orthodontic treatment. At less than twenty minutes for each appointment that is over $8,500 an hour. If you take actual time with a dentist (at most 5 minutes a visit) then you are talking $26,000 an hour. I can come to no other conclusion that this place was over-servicing us and under-providing. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

Disclaimer - I have health insurance with Aust Unity (..but I'm guessing so do most people who use…read morethis clinic) I've used 2-3 different dentists at this clinic but recently settled on a guy named Alvin Shee. I recently got a chunk of money from work for important dental. The dentist my work recommended suggested about 6 small jobs which would've gone through the money allocated by work exactly (funny that;). They pressured me to start straight away but I made them wait and give me the x rays then went to Alvin for a second opinion. Thank God! One of the first things these other guys (Smile Dental Brunswick st) wanted to do was cap one tooth at a cost of about $600. That tooth was rotten from beneath and fell apart a week later!! Instead of the 6 small jobs Alvin recommended one big one which involved pulling a tooth, inserting a bridge and paying a little myself. His clinic doesn't usually work with the providers of this money but he bent over backward to help. All the dentists at this practice are young and up to date on latest materials and treatments (unlike my old dentist who filled my mouth with mercury - since problematic). When I've occasionally been unable to settle a bill on the day they've given me a couple of weeks although I think this policy just changed. It's not 'your friendly family dentist' but so many dentists work here that you can always see someone at short notice if it's urgent Use Alvin if you can!

I went here yesterday to get a filling. The reception staff and dental nurse were lovely…read more However my appointment with Dr Mahmoud Metwally was not as pleasant. I'm sure he is good at his job, I don't really know as my appointment had been shortened due to a delay in the previous, and therefore was told I was unable to get my filling in this appointment. It cost me about $85 for the appointment and the test to check which teeth need to be filled. I'm not upset about that cost, but am upset I'll have to pay yet another consultation fee on top of approx $215 for the filling. However, I didn't express any concerns in my appointment, but that didn't prevent the dentist from telling me off. He told me off for incorrectly identifying between 1 and 10 the level of discomfort I was in, I can only describe from what I know, so maybe 1 to 10 isn't the most effective method maybe asking if it hurts as much as x since it seemed to really annoy you. I also got lectured for booking a 30 minute emergency booking (I have no idea what he is talking about as I did it through health engine and they just show you what's available not what type of appointment it is). He said 30 minutes is not long enough and made me feel like it was my fault, he should be happy he's making even more money out of me. What was weird though was when I went to reception she booked next week's appointment (which I'm about to cancel and go to melbourne dentist clinic instead as I've heard good things) and she said it was 30 minutes. So is this standard or emergency? I don't know.

Is it weird to be even more impressed with someone in hindsight? I haven't lived in Melb for awhile…read more- I've been in Seattle and San Francisco for 8 years, and literally every dentist I've seen has praised the fillings that Dr. Julian Moore did. My husband said he's had the same experience, so between us we've probably had five or six dentists who've been impressed by his work. My husband said that Dr. Julian Moore was the first competent dentist he'd ever been to (the year before he'd gone to two dentists highly recommended by people we knew and found them to be just OK), and after the work he had done his teeth had finally stopped hurting. I also thought he was good, but needed much less work so had less to base my opinion on. I think that most of us aren't great at judging dentists since we don't really know what's going on - we're satisfied as long as they're nice enough and don't think too much expensive work is needed. So to have every one of my subsequent dentists say that whoever who did my fillings did an excellent job, that carries a lot of weight with me. Every so often my husband and I are like "hey, do you remember that really great dentist we had in Melb?" and tonight I was curious enough to try and remember his name. I found it in an old google hangout chat with my sister (I was trying to get her to switch), and that prompted me to write this random yelp review 8 years later.

In my search for a new dentist after moving to Melbourne, I thought I'd give a local a try. Big…read moremistake. Firstly, I booked a cleaning/scaling and check-up, but when I arrived they hadn't schedule enough time for both, so I had to come back for a second appointment. They should have known that as a new patient from a foreign country I'd probably need to get new x-rays done. I was billed for both appointments. Secondly, at my follow-up appointment was advised that I should get all of my fillings re-done because this dentist prefers metal fillings to the white fillings most cosmetic-sensitive dentists use. When I expressed some skepticism -- the United States isn't exactly backwards when it comes to dentistry, and I'd had a pretty good one -- the dentist insisted that my filings had all been done poorly and needed to be redone. Thirdly, the dentist tried to prescribe me a dairy-based tooth gel. I am very allergic to dairy products and had listed this as an allergy on my intake form. Obviously, the dentist had not reviewed this information. Fourthly, when I asked to have my x-rays sent to another dental office -- naturally, I wanted a second opinion -- the dentist called me personally, while I was at work, to try to talk me out of it and was incredibly difficult about releasing my x-rays even though it is his legal obligation to do so. He asked which dentist I was going to, and then insulted that dentist and her entire office by suggesting that they were unskilled. His entire manner was extremely unprofessional, confrontational, and even hostile. Fifthly, the follow-up exam with the other dentist confirmed my suspicions. My fillings were fine and -- besides a single filling that had been chipped -- did not need to be re-done, saving me hundreds of dollars. I would warn anyone from coming to this dentist (Dr. Julian Moore). Unprofessional conduct aside, I have good reason to suspect that he is simply out to gouge patients for money by insisting on unnecessary procedures.

Myself and my husband needed a new dentist and live in the Brunswick area. After checking rave…read morereviews online I booked with Dr Tiffany Chuo for us both to have a check up, X-ray and clean. I was extremely happy with the level of service we received. Dr Tiffany is absolutely lovely and used her warm personality to help us through some fairly intensive calculus removal! Her assistant (who's name I have forgotten) was also lovely. We had booked in for the check up, X-ray and clean deal under private health insurance - it ended up costing us $150 each outside the gap but for the work that Dr Tiffany did (and considering we both had had a very significant lapse in visiting the dentist) that seemed to me as being a good price. My husband will be returning for fillings, and we will also be returning regularly to keep our teeth in order from now on! What a pleasure to find such a great health supplier! I would not hesitate to recommend my dental group and happy to leave this review

Yup, this is one dentist that will end your days of hating getting your teeth checked. He practices out of the Wantirna South Dentistry Clinic on Cathies Lane. This is conveniently located next door to the Wantirna South Medical Centre so if you're super health keen you can visit them after you see Dr. Irving. Dr. Irving is your regular dentist. He can't do anything spectacular but he does the normal stuff well and makes sure you don't feel any pain. That is, unless you're my father and refuse pain medication. Dr. Irving is also happy to accommodate for people like that too. He is good at making patients feel at ease, which is all I really ask of a dentist. Thumbs up!
