If there was an option to give 10 stars, I would give 100. I have always wanted to have braces but chickened out at the last moment, until I met DR Richard Tippett at the Star Dentistry located at 104 Pyrmont St, Pyrmont NSW. They made me feel comfortable & put all of my doubts to ease. Their patience with me was incredible. I have never been happier with my smile & the fantastic work that has been done! Never in my wildest dreams did I believe my teeth could look as good as they do now. I finally feel I have confidence again & it is all down to this amazing orthodontist practise. I cannot

I had sensitivity in my teeth and booked this dentist as the rating was high and it was right across the road from my house. The clinic itself is very clean with a TV screen mounted on the ceiling, and both the receptionist and dentist were friendly, however I'm not sure the dentist knows what he is talking about, which scared me from doing anything further there. He pointed to my tooth and said it had a filling, which it didn't, and I would know what I've paid to get done.The tooth in my mouth that does actually have a filling, he said that it was just my tooth. Paid $50 just to sit and get told

After many years of grinding my teeth at night I was looking to get my teeth rebuilt. As a pretty particular person I consulted with numerous dentists around Sydney and after sitting down with Dr Richard Tippett and having him explain the various options to me I knew I would be in safe and competent hands at STAR dentistry. What was most impressive to me was the time he took to explain everything to me and the detail with which he did so. Over the course of a number of appointments I had my teeth whitened, rebuilt, and then had a guard made to prevent further damage. At each appointment Dr Richard
