I'm one of those nut-jobs that loves going to the dentist. I think it's partly because I've found…read moresuch a good one. I first made an appointment here after the appeal of no gap payment on a clean and check up for anyone with health insurance. This makes the place incredible popular and insanely busy, but they still great everyone with a smile and take it all in their stride. My favourite staff member is my hygienist, Abraham, a wonderfully friendly man who is checks in with me every few minutes to make sure I'm okay and tell me how good a patient I am (although, I'm sure he says it to all his patients). The room has a wall of plants at your feet providing a pleasant outlook and there's an adjustable tv to can position overhead to distract you from having a bunch of tools and fingers in your mouth. You can't hear anything over the machines, but then it's fun to guess what they're saying on never-ending soaps such as Days of our Lives. I've just booked in for my January 2012 clean and my son's first dentist visit. I'll review again then as to how they cater for children.

I have been so very impressed with Smile Co at Norwood. As…read morewith another reviewer, finding out that a 6-month check-up and clean was free to those with private health insurance (even if Extras only), was the catalyst for me to finally go to the dentist. After 5 years. The previous visit not having even been conducted in Australia! (I was studying in Germany at the time) The staff on the phone were professional and helpful. After learning that it had been a while since my last dental visit they structured my check-up accordingly. Hygenist Amelia spent a lot of time focusing on both cleaning my teeth and giving me practical advice on teeth care. This high level of service extended to the Dentist Shayda who was also keen to not only provide a service but impart knowledge on a customer keen to learn. I wasn't surprised to learn that I needed fillings and the subsequent session for those was just as impressive (this time with Hygenist Shelley assisting Shayda). So much so that I wasn't even nervous and felt very assured of their ability to go a great job. I walked out of the dental clinic having had a very positive experience. Highly recommended and I already have booked in for my 6-month check-up.

After munching into an apple (you know the non-iPhone ones), I could feel something between my…read moreteeth. After a quick floss, I could feel something funny with the back of one of my bottom teeth, which made me really worried. Whilst I try to take good care of my teeth, it had been quite a while since I had been to the dentist. This made me very nervous, I already knew I had a chipped tooth, so I started preparing myself mentally for the countless fillings and three extractions that were certain to follow. I was greeted by a smiling Dr Liz, who was running perfectly on time. After I explained my issue, Dr Liz assured me that is was almost certainly not a chipped a tooth, and that a clean would fix it in no time. Things were explained clearly as the clean progressed, even pointing out that I must be a left handed person because I was significantly better at cleaning the right side of my mouth. Right about now you are probably wondering if I was given a little too much nitrous oxide for my treatment, but the truth is, I actually had a good experience at the dentist... The treatment was so much nicer than the stress I was putting myself through before - and enough to convince me that the recommended annual checkup is a good idea. So for your next dental emergency (or even just the checkup you have been putting off) I recommend this place (and Dr Liz), I am pretty sure you will leave smiling.

Three stars from me for a dentist is really saying something, I guess it's like 5 stars from…read moresomeone that has bi-annual checkups. I don't do dentists, EVER! But I chipped a front tooth and had to get it fixed. So after browsing the net and ringing around I found this one. Their prices were ok and they were the only one that could get in me in before the weekend (it was only Tuesday when I rang). The dentist I saw was fantastic. I explained my massive phobias and asked he just fix what I wanted and he did exactly as I had asked. I didn't have to endure lots of bull about my other teeth or petty conversation with either people in the room, nor did he converse with the dental assistance in front of me unless it was related to what he was doing. All in all he just did the job required. And pretty quickly for a dentist, I was out within and hour from arrival, which including waiting before I even got in to the dentist. The fix itself was very fast. Their service was so good that I would definitely go back here again if I absolutely have to go to the dentist. I am very particular on dentists and this one ticked all my boxes. Not the previous one I tried which I ran out of in tears and never made another appointment.

What a wonderful place…read more This review is for all the people who are afraid of going to a public dentist, especially to a learner dentist at a public dental school. I didn't have the money to get my wisdom teeth out, and had to go the public health services route. I am so glad I did! I hopped in the chair and was attended to a student who was not only hot (which was admittedly weird; nobody wants a hot stranger rummaging around in their mouth before at least one good boozy date) but also the most friendly, positive and focused of any dentists I've been to. He was incredibly gentle too and I felt no pain after the first anaesthetic jabs. They suck but they are about the same amount of pain as having blood taken from your arm. A lot of my friends have chosen to have the full anaesthetic while having their teeth extracted. Maybe if you need all four removed at the same time, you might choose that. (I only needed two removed). But I really want to tell you that even for someone like me, who gets shaky at the mere thought of dentists, it is much less painful than you'd imagine. So if you are waiting, quaking in your boots, for some pimply-faced dental student to do a little shop of horrors number on your face, take a deep breath and relax. These guys are being taught so well, both in 'customer service' (otherwise known as being a nice human being) and in dentistry. They'll leave you smiling!

I've never gone to…read morethe dental section so I can't comment on that, but I am experienced when it comes to visiting the doctor. I've seen all the doctors here at least a few times for different reasons, and they've all been nothing short of great. The customer service is also very much appreciated. For as long as I can remember it's always been the same lady working at the reception desk and she's always been friendly and helpful, and she even recognises me when I call and book an appointment over the phone. What a memory! I rate this medical centre with two thumbs up!

These are the words that greet you on their excellent website and set the tone for what great service is offered at Lucas Dental. The clinic itself is a beautiful building and already makes you feel calmer about being there (because let's face it nobody actually enjoys going to the dentist). There is a huge plasma you can watch to try and distract you from the dentist trauma that is to come and plenty of reading material. The walls are also almost all glass and offers an amazing view of the courtyard below, equipped with tranquil water features and heaps of flora. The staff are lovely and the dentists make you feel so much less stressed. They are very good in explaining your problem and treatments in normal-people terms and make you feel confident in their abilities. They also offer great support regarding finances and will create a payment plan that will suit you and your budget. There is also no pressure to come back straight away; they just let you know what needs to be done and you go ahead and book the appointments as soon as your budget can dictate.
