I had had braces as a teenager but after not wearing my plate, my bottom teeth had crowded up again and I wasnt happy with how flat my top teeth looked so in my late twenties I decided to have braces again and Im glad I did. I saw Peter at Frankston and also in his Collins Street rooms as I worked close by. I had braces on for 20 months and it was relatively pain free. The staff there were always friendly and helpful and the fees were tailored to fit within my budget. I have recommended him to three of my friends and they were also thrilled with the treatment and the results he achieved with their teeth. I love my smile now. Thanks Dr Scott for doing such a great job!

No one likes going to the dentist. At least no one sane. Personally I have a fear of them which…read morestems from watching a procedure on a parent gone wrong. Yikes! But I have health insurance so to get the most out of it I come here every 2 years for a check up and teeth clean. I'm sure you can imagine how I felt a few days ago when I injured a front tooth. The same one that a few yrs ago I had chipped and had had fixed. (A bit terrified) Dr Jamie Taylor made it all ok. Not only did he keep me calm throughout fixing my poor half broken front tooth, but it also didn't hurt and now no one can pick which tooth it was. HUGE shout out to Dr Jamie Taylor! There are other dentists at this clinic whom I'm sure are great, but I have only seen Jamie. I feel obliged to mention the always lovely and professional reception staff, the nice waiting room, that they deal easily with health insurance claims and of course Jamie's lovely assistant who patted my arm half way through and told me how brave she thought I was being. (It helped) If I ever move out of the area, no matter how far, Jamie will still be my dentist.

They really treated me with compassion, understanding the fear, and were patient with my squirming and wincing.

When I was unemployed they gave me a payment plan to help me keep my mouth healthy without sending me broke. They really care about their patients and I really appreciate that.

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.
