Can't recommend this place more highly. The team of lovely people in these modern and calm surroundings (almost) makes it a pleasure to go to the Dentist. I've been a patient for nearly 10 years now and have seen it grow and evolve with increasing sophistication, modern techniques and equipment. Same day crowns manufactured with 3D Computer Grinder make it very time efficient and I've always found the charges for all services to be very fair. Well done to Julie and the team.

I loved my experience at Dentistry In Canterbury! As a long time patient of Dr Julie, this was my first appointment at the new location on Mailing Road which is filled with lots of options for coffee while I was waiting for my new crown to be made. Thanks to their new technology, in less than three hours I walked out with a brand new crown in the most painless and relaxing experience Ive ever had with a dentist. Starting from the welcoming reception staff, the dental assistant, and Dr Julie the whole experience ran very smoothly and I will definitely be coming back excited for my next appointment

I have absolute faith in Dentistry in Canterbury. All the staff are helpful, caring and considerate. My dentist , Julie is dedicated to her work, highly skilled and professional. I recently had my teeth whitened and the results are excellent. Julie took great care in preparing for the process which resulted in a pain free experience.

This gonna be the first time I give a one star to a place ever. I first visited this place with no problem and wanted a quick clean, filler for a baby tooth and get a plan for orthodontics in the future. Yet, was advised there were other 4 crooked teeth and I should get them fixed since their filler were not good now. I obliviously did what the dentist said, later I found 2 particular teeths fillers were too high and somehow my gum is swelling, so I made another visit and another dentist said she will fix it. Apparently she didnt. Prior my visit to the dentist, there wasnt a gap between

I could not recommend Dentistry in Canterbury enough! A lovely bunch of people who take a holistic and preventative approach to all things dentistry. Everyone at the practise, from Dr. Julie Ghaly to the lovely girls at the reception desk ensure that I am okay and cared for appropriately at all times. I always feel safe while in their hands and I know that you will too. It's such a nice feeling to know that those working on my teeth care about how I'm feeling and the work they do.

Julie is the most amazing dentist I have ever seen. She is so caring and friendly and really knows how to make a patient feel at ease. I have been seeing her for a while now and had many treatments and she always knows whats best for me and my teeth. After all, your smile and teeth are so so important. I cant recommend this practice and Julie enough. Everyone from the front desk to the hygienist to the dentists are amazing. You seriously would be so happy if you saw these guys, especially Julie. I sent a colleague here as well and he is over the moon. Trust me. Best dentist ever! Thanks heaps
