Dr Eshan Verma is a top man and dentist. Always explains what he is doing and executes with precision. Both times I have had work done there has been no pain at all. Would highly recommend

Before visiting Oakleigh Dental, I was embarrassed to smile because of gaps I never corrected during my teens. After hearing about them on the radio, I decided to book a consultation and see what orthodontic options were available. I opted for Invisalign because it was more discrete and easier to maintain. Selina and the team were lovely and I felt informed throughout the whole process. They constantly made sure I was happy and comfortable. Im really impressed with the end result and cant stop showing off my smile. I highly recommend Oakleigh Dental.

No-one loves going to the dentist unless you're going to visit Dr. Helen Spanos who works closely with Ali her dental nurse at Oakleigh Dental. I have four children and we all see Dr. Helen Spanos. Her professional manner and attention to all our grievances regarding oral care is unsurpassed by any dental practice we have visited in the past. She has a happy disposition and together with Ali form the ultimate dental team. She takes a conservative professional approach workshopping what may be required all the while explaining everything in detail. Your anxiety disappears immediately from the moment

I haven't been to the dentist in years and had to book an emergency appointment here. Had my teeth cleaned and a filling replaced with the view of potential root canal in the future. It cost $155 for the clean, $290 for the filing replacement and $60 for examination. The staff understood that I was anxious and they were friendly, professional and efficient.
