Best dental service ever! I had severe nerve pain and infection on a Sunday. I rang in the morning and Margaretha got me in straight away. She was so helpful and kind. Dr Mario removed my tooth before I even realised it had happened. His clinical assistant was great as well. Cant recommend highly enough. Thanks Debbie Ryan

Went for a quote on dental implants way more expensive than Sydney. And they tried to rip me off saying I had cavities they showed me someone elses teeth. I went to the dentist in Sydney and there was no cavities and they quoted me a fair few thousands less for the implants. Would not recommend it. I was also made to wait 30min without and apology?
