I mean, it's not my favourite thing to do either, but I don't get that feeling of dread upon booking my six monthly checkup and clean. Since moving to Melbourne I have been seeing Dr Ling at Burnley Family Dentists (about 5 years now). And I have to say, he's awesome! Super thorough with his check-ups. Has all the latest technology (including X-rays) and even takes the time to explain stuff to you. All while you chill back and watch the perfectly positioned plasma TV to take your mind off the usual dentist chair noises! Might not be the cheapest, but then show me a dentist that is cheap! All I will say is that he definitely makes up for the more expensive cost by making it as pleasant and as comfortable an experience as possible, which is pretty difficult when you think about going to the dentist...so if you are overdue for a checkup and are putting it off, rip that band aid off and get yourself an appointment.

I'll see how I recover ( filling is a bit painful ). All staff were very lovely and talked me…read morethrough the whole process. So I knew exactly what was going on and how much it would cost. Good experience.

I always enjoy my regular visits to the orthodontist here!…read more I'm currently midway through my Invisalign course. Setting aside the slightly high price tag for the entire course, Smile Solutions does offer a great experience for what is usually an uncomfortable process. Since I've been visiting about 1.5 years ago, I've always had top notch customer service from these guys! One minor down side is that this is a huge establishment with a large team of dentists, orthodontists, and support staff, and rather packed schedules. As such, I've dealt with numerous hygienists and dentists (thank god my orthodontist has been the same!). This is mitigated by the fact that every one of the staff members I've dealt with are highly professional and deliver knowledgeable and amazing service! The Manchester Unity building is also one of the most beautiful refurb Art Deco buildings I've seen in Melbourne and Smile Solutions does a great job preserving the authenticity of this building while providing a comfortable environment!

Smile Solutions is the largest dental practice in Australia (or so claims their website), but…read moredespite its size, I've always felt I received personal attention and the staff cared about my dental health. It's a very relaxing space set up on the first floor of the historic art deco historic Manchester Unity Building in the CBD...it's worth a visit just to see the architectural features of this building! This is one fancy office. And yes, the other Yelpers are correct.... the lobby does smell like vanilla. My dentist and hygienist were both professional and did their genuine best to reduce any pain/discomfort. I had to get one of my fillings replaced, and opted to go with a porcelain filling, which they molded on site. It was a definite state of the art experience...this was the first practice I've been to that used cerec fillings...they digital scan your teeth to determine the shape of the filling and then 5 to 10 minutes later the filling is complete and ready to be placed in your mouth....no more sending a mold out to a lab, no temporary fillings, you're in and out quickly! The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 stars is the price. It's very expensive though I guess that's the cost of going to a Collins Street dentist.

After a lolly eating binge at a work conference I was left with half of one of my teeth in my hand…read morewondering what the hell to do. I obviously jumped on Yelp and Novadental had racked up all 5 star reviews, so I gave them a call and they graciously booked me in for the following day. The dentist was lovely, even if he did break my heart by telling me that grazing may be the best thing for your waistline, but the worst thing for your teeth. Darn decay. He was constantly checking in throughout the procedure making sure I was still comfortable, which was very reassuring. I was happy with the work, it was expensive like all dentists are, but would definitely recommend them.

The staff at the facility are always very nice and I never have to wait long. Personally I prefer to only see the dentist, rather than opt to have a hygienist clean my teeth.

Ron is my favourite dentist that I have tried so far, and I scoured the suburbs of Sydney &…read moreMelbourne in search of someone excellent. Five years ago (in Sydney) I would have assumed that an MBF/BUPA registered provider would be high quality, but this simply was not the case. I had a nightmare run originally, everything from unnecessary X-rays (done 2 weeks prior) to recommendations for more amalgam fillings (I was trying to get rid of the ones I already had!) to spitting into a plastic cup because there was NO BASIN beside the chair! That's not even the worst of it btw. In contrast, Ron is an angel! He is always friendly, professional & genuinely caring- you can tell he actually likes people- AND he's really funny, which takes the fear of god out of me (I was traumatised after the other dentists, ok?) plus with the BUPA rebates pricing is VERY reasonable. I highly, HIGHLY recommend East Melbourne Dental- they are exceptional! Also best dental work I've had done- check up, clean, fillings etc. :)

My first impression made me a little concerned about what I had gotten myself in for. (You will be hoping that you're not waiting long in the waiting room.) The upshot is that the prices are also lower for first time customers, compared to other CBD dentists in the area. Fortunately, the dentist I saw for a basic scale and clean was quite helpful. Sometimes a half-hearted generic flossing lecture from dentists is easy to ignore. But she was able to use a mini camera and x-rays during my visit to quickly and effectively illustrate some areas to keep an eye on. With those concrete visuals, my flossing regime has just gotten a lot better! At the end, she even spent extra time personally making sure that the billing for my insurance was correct. My impression is that she is someone who looks after her patients.
