From the owner: Aesthetic Gum Surgery (treatments for gum recession) Better…read moreknown as periodontal plastic surgery there are several types of surgery that can regenerate/reposition gum to replace lost or receded gums. Gingivectomy A procedure used to eliminate gum pockets that can collect bacteria which cause gum/periodontal disease, usually performed on back teeth. Guided Tissue Regeneration (Periodontal Grafting or GTR) GTR/regeneration is carried out to regain some of the bone lost after severe periodontal disease has occurred on one or more teeth. Crown Lengthening A procedure carried out to lower the gum line around a tooth thus exposing more of the tooth for a dentist to prepare and insert a crown over the tooth. Alternatively this is done to remove excess gum that can grow around teeth particularly in younger patients after orthodontic treatment or patients on medication. Dental Implants Used to replace missing teeth by inserting a titanium rod into the jaw bone. Once this fuses with the jaw bone a porcelain crown can be screwed over the top of the implant thus replacing the lost tooth. Bone Grafting (Guided Bone regeneration or GBR) Bone grafting is carried out to replace lost bone usually prior to implant placement Sinus Grafting A form of bone grafting done in the upper posterior jaw to facilitate implant placement Exposure of unerupted teeth Removal of gum tissue and bone overlying the tooth is removed to expose the impacted tooth underneath

I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed recently (two days ago, so if I'm thinking well of him at this point then he must have done something right) and could not have asked for a better doctor. Not only did he do a wonderful job removing my wisdom, he left hardly any remnants that he did so - I only have minor swelling and pretty much no pain! He has a wonderful bed side manner and is very approachable to ask questions of. All in all it was, I believe, the best possible experience I could have had in having my wisdom teeth removed.

It's not often that people look forward to going to the dentist. Ok, so maybe I'm not quite at the…read morestage where I look forward to it, but Smile Care Dental has certainly provided me with a much more pleasurable dentist experience than anywhere else I've been before. The first thing you notice is how modern the clinic is - right down to the magazines in the waiting area. When was the last time you saw the latest magazines in a waiting area?! There are always newspapers & apples on the counter that you are encouraged to take. After all - an apple a day keeps the doctor (or dentist) away! The staff are all super friendly & the dentist & hygienist really take the time to talk & get to know you - you certainly know you're in good hands. Those big, scary examination chairs are made that bit better with TVs above them so you are distracted from whatever is going on in your mouth! My favourite part is the goody bag you get at the end - complete with a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss & lip balm, as well as a reminder card for your next appointment. No one loves going to the dentist, but these guys do everything possible so you can grin & bear it...see what I did there?
After a few years of forking out quite a lot of money to ensure my teeth were in working order, I…read moredecided to shop around for a new dentist and after multiple recommendations found myself at the doors of Advanced Dental. Advanced Dental is affiliated with several health funds and as someone with BUPA (the old Mutual Community) the amount of money I have to pay for a check up is slashed compared to where I went before. To have my teeth cleaned and polished and checked by the dentist, I pay nothing. Absolutely nothing, my health fund picks up the rest! Such a relief compared to other dentists! The clinic is slick and modern and with TVs in the ceiling, awkward conversations can be negated by watching the telley to fill in your time and with a full suite of specialists, all your care can be done in one place. All the clinicians here present well and are very professional. A lovely place, I reccommend this to anyone looking for a new dentist.

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!

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.

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.

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.

You inspire me to work hard, and maybe one day I can make a difference to the Adelaide community, like what you are doing everyday. For the sake of readers of Yelp, I might as well reveal the the best dentist I've ever had in Adelaide, accompanied by some of the best staff I've ever encountered. After 17 years of not being able to afford braces, and suffering from extremely crooked teeth throughout my schooling years, meeting Dr Laparidis is truly life changing. Thanks to him, now I am able to flash my perfect, straight, pearly whites and say "My Mum's workmates highly recommended you." New visitors will rejoice at how organised his receptionists are. For all the years I've visited there, Georgia and the other receptionists have been so friendly in all their conversations with me. My essential personal information is stored via their computer, important files, x-rays, bills printed out and given to me quickly, payment records accurate (there has never been any incorrect data) and kept safe, and them always saying my first name out loud very clearly before each appointment, gave me a lot of confidence in them. Dr. Laparidis and his staff made me feel very comfortable, even with that massive brace gear shoved all around my gums...It is a Universal fact that getting braces for the first time is going to be an uncomfortable experience, but everytime he works on my teeth, he makes it as pain-free as possible. He gained my trust and belief after the first appointment. Just by reading his aura, I knew he was amazing at his job. I could tell from his great smile, highly energetic and warm greeting, and extremely fast performance (he gets even the most complicated dental tasks done so quickly in less than 5 minutes!). I even once got a free Colgate Total toothpaste to take home because I made Dr Laparidis laugh. I get the biggest smiles before I walk out of there.

They have extended opening hours which is fantastic so you don't have to take time off work to get an appointment all the time. I've always been given referrals for any family member to really good places as well. Usually they will bulk bill which heaps of places don't do anymore so if someone gets sick the day before pay day it's not a problem. They have a nurse on duty most of the time if you need. They have other more specialised services they offer such as some sports stuff, psychologists, weight management and laser hair removal. they also have a pharmacy in the same complex so you can get your prescriptions filled before you leave. Best features are the definitely the bulk billing, the extended opening hours and their after hours locum service (BEST thing ever is you have really sick kids - the doc comes to you and all the details are still kept on their same files).

After so many visits there, and so many doctors, I have to say that all the staff have been helpful, patient and kind. They are now my first phone call when I need medical help. Their extra late opening hours are great! *Bulk billing*

The expander was widened every month by turning a little lever, which very painfully increased the size of my palate. But anyway, that's another story. For two and half of those years, I visited Orthodontist Marie Reichstein in her offices on North Terrace. I can happily report that now in my early twenties, about five years after having my braces removed, I still have pretty straight teeth. I do have teeny tiny little metal band that holds some of them straight - but hey I'm not complaining, especially not if it works. My experience of the services and treatment offered by Reichstein and her staff was positive. Everyone involved was friendly, professional and to the point. I had little trouble making appointments, and the treatments were always quite brief. All in all, I would recommend this orthodontist.
