Gap Village Dental is a great dental practice, Mikaela (my dentist) was terrific and made me super comfortable with the treatment she undertook for me. Unlike some corporate/health fund dental clinics who force their dentists to push their patients into treatment they dont need, the team at Gap Village Dental always puts their patients needs first and offer first class care. Its truely a local business you can trust and I would highly recommend them. Thank you team!

Andrea and her team at The Gap Dental completely surpassed my expectations. I was searching for the right dentist for my family and have found the perfect place. Andrea is extremely knowledgeable and professional and I place my complete trust in her hands. She was wonderful with my two young boys and they both felt at ease immediately. I also love that this is a local, family-owned business. Thank you Andrea and team for offering such wonderful services. We will be back!
