"I had two crowns done in one morning. I was very nervous about the pain of the procedure. There was none. The numbing gel applied before the injections is the best thing ever. I'm glad to have kept my teeth as I've spent a lot on braces and didn't want them pulled out after all of that. I was impressed with the care taken during this procedure and the result. The discomfort afterwards was also minimal."
- Lisa Tong

"Altogether I had a cleaning, one filling, two wisdom teeth extracted, and two bone grafts placed. I paid $3,400. There are no payment plans. I paid on the day of operation, before the procedure. It was well worth it. The operation took 4 hours. I have had little-to-no pain in the days following. The pain I did have was extremely manageable with basic medication; paracetamol; and ibuprofen. This experience does not mirror a single one from anyone I had spoken to prior to getting it done. Everyone said I would feel like I had been kicked in the face for days, or something else similar. I felt tired the day of, that’s about it. For reference the only drugs I had administered during the op was medazolam and anaesthetic injections. There was a bit of pain and discomfort at the very end when the stitches were being placed, this was expected. I am blown away by the quality of work done by my Dentist, Dr. Mei Ting, along with her assistant, Alycia. They treated me with the utmost care and respect throughout the procedure. And with swift professionalism by Mei in the appointments preceding. I was phoned by reception the day after for a quick post-op check. Mei herself personally called me a couple days after that to chat about how it was going. It’s been four days since the procedure and I have minimal swelling. Tomorrow I don’t expect it to be noticeable. This team deserves the high rating they have here. Flawless. Thank you, and kind regards, Justus."

"HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sean and Jodie for tooth removal! He did such a great job on me. They got me in with only a days notice to remove a broken/badly infected tooth that caused me extreme pain. Was booked in for surgical extraction in July, however that was too long of a wait. Also it was waayy cheaper getting it removed through Sean than it was through surgical extraction. Much Appreciated!"
- T RAWW

★★★★★

"I can't speak highly enough of Sean and Janaya at The Dentists Taradale. I was originally booked in with an oral surgeon as I needed a tricky extraction. However Sean was able to see me on the day I called in. He was able to calmly and confidently talk me through the procedure and complete the extraction quickly with a very gentle manner. Most definitely recommend."

I was lucky to be looked after by both Mei and Alycia who were very warm and welcoming, allowing you to let go of any anxieties! They have very upto date technology with cameras allowing you to see the details yourself, which is certainly eye opening. The overall check up and clean was very thorough and really gentle. Teeth also look SO much better with all the coffee stains gone... Would highly reccommend! Thank you (:"
