Real Dentistry: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Always excellent service and skilled dentistry. Always satisfied with my treatment and holistic advice to maintain good teeth for as long as possible. Well done Real Dentistry and Dr Helen Gibbons. and associates. Thank you
Fantastic experience: I never really leave google reviews but honestly this was the best dental experience I’ve ever had so felt the need to! I’ve always hated going to the dentist and last time I had a hygienist appointment at a different clinic it was a painful experience!! Cassie was absolutely amazing! Made me feel comfortable from the start and not one part of the process was painful or uncomfortable!! I feel way more confident with my teeth now and will definitely keep coming back when I need to!
Fantastic experience: Went in for a check up and advice. Andre carried an extensive check which I wanted. So thorough, informative and extremely polite. Explained everything, quote was given and I will be proceeding with what's required. Super nice premises, friendly staff and pricing was fair.
Fantastic experience: As someone who dreads the dentist, I was blown away! Every single person and interaction was so warm, friendly, thorough & I walked away feeling supported & empowered. Cannot recommend this team more for judgement free & friendly treatment.
Fantastic experience: They’re awesome! Make you feel comfortable and everything is to your pace and comfort. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Nice facility and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: On time, very professional pre extraction interview presenting all feasible options, calm but firm manner during surgery. Excellent post op instructions including a printed copy. Follow up phone call. Text reminders of appointment also appreciated, and all for a surprisingly reasonable charge. The new premises are light, airy and attractive and the reception staff v competent.
Fantastic experience: My dentist Andre is awesome and I always feel confident in his ability. Real Dentistry Kilbirnie is a well run practice with great staff and I can always get an appointment when needed.
Fantastic experience: Great service
Fantastic experience: I was extremely impressed and pleased with the polite and professional service I had here at Real Dentistry. My dentist Hannah Wilson was exceptionally clear and professional with my initial examination. She explained everything perfectly and outlined my options. I felt confident in her care, and look forward to the ensuing treatment and processes I need.
Fantastic experience: Gurpinder had been my familys dentist for 10 years + now!! He does top work and is really patient as a dentist, he makes u feel very comfortable and i even had a coffee the other day while waiting for my crown to be made !! Just the best place !! Highly recommend!!!
Positive experience: Very clean and professional. Asked to fill in meds when no change.
Fantastic experience: First visit. Called and they picked up straight away with friendly quick booking. Experiencing jaw pain but could t afford more than a regular checkup. They gave me a free full X-ray anyway! Top marks for them. Explained everything fully and simply. Great service and care. Well recommended.
Fantastic experience: Ever since I've been going to Real Dentistry I've never known my teeth to look of feel so good.They are wonderful team.thank you all so very much.

Fantastic experience: Compassionate, considerate - checking in throughout procedure as to my well being, noticing small signs of stress and giving opportunities to rest/ break if I needed to. Straight forward communication ensuring my understanding of options, likely outcomes and costs. Most importantly - gentle, in both manner and technique. This really is a professional and welcoming service.

Fantastic experience: Kind staff, good quality care
Fantastic experience: The service provided by Real Dentistry is always superb. All staff are very professional and compassionate - I know I am in good hands there and fully recommend them.
Fantastic experience: My husband has had a root canal and a renewed implant and i would recommend Real Dentistry to anyone that wants thorough and reliable work done i cannot fault there professionalism and care.
Fantastic experience: I was so anxious to go to the dentist. I hadn’t been in over ten years so I was really nervous. I needed my wisdom tooth removed and had received a bad experience in the past elsewhere. Andre was so understanding and kind and gentle. He talked me through the whole process and cost as well. He even let my husband stay in the room to help with my anxieties. Andre talked me through some deep breathing as welll. I love this practice so much and my fears of visiting a dentist have gone. The practice is lovely and everyone is really kind. Thank you everyone at Real Dentists.
Negative experience: Rude and poor service only interested with lining their pockets and no compassion for someone in pain would rather pull my own teeth than let these so call professionals near mine or my family's mouth
Fantastic experience: Andre is a legend.
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff! Very impressive clinic. Thank you Real Dentistry :)
Fantastic experience: saved my teeth smile
Negative experience: Fiancé booked for an emergency appointment due to severe tooth pain. Went in expecting to have it pulled, instead seen for five minutes and charged $105 for consult, told to book in again for Wednesday. Has been in severe pain since, fortunately found a dentist that actually sticks to advertised emergency appointments and is doing first thing tomorrow. Appalling and a rip off. Just editing in response to reply - it was on the Saturday 3rd March for Casey Hampton
Hi Cassandra Thankyou for your feedback. Can you please advise when yiu where seen in out practice. Please send us your contact details we will ring you back
Fantastic experience: Yvonne is the best dentist I have had! I felt informed and she listened to any concerns I had and had solutions for them. Caring and professional. I would recommend this dentist.
Fantastic experience: Great staff and very clean facilities
Negative experience: Not impressed with visit to hygienist. Appointment started nearly ten minutes late and thirty minutes later was back on the street. No communication prior to treatment or explanation for the shortening of the expected 50 minute appointment as shown on the website. Will definitely not return, very poor value.
Fantastic experience: I had my check up and filling with Dr Yvonne. I will definitely visit this dental clinic again
Negative experience: I was 12 minutes late for an appt. I called in and they said still come in. I was told that if I didn’t come in then I wouldn’t be seen until June, which they now say they have appts in February. Only had half my clean done and they charged me twice for consultations. I was then told we were done and that if I wanted the other half of the clean done I would have to pay $170 for it.
Fantastic experience: Friendly practice that really looks after their regular clientele. Very grateful to be fitted in. Broken tooth repaired. Excellent care and follow up.
Fantastic experience: An appointment in July 2022: 100% perfect rating for surgical extraction by Excellent Dr Helen. 100% to Amazing Dr Gurpinder for removing a tricky broken bone from the jaw. Many thanks to Real Dentistry Kilbirnie. 2021 appointment: Full-5-stars to excellent dentist, Yvonne Chai and her dental assistant. Yvonne is a great communicator in answering our questions. She spent nearly 90 careful-minutes on 3 high-quality fillings :}
Thanks Mervyn!
Fantastic experience: Went in to get a Molar tooth extracted, was told it would need to be a surgical extracton and would take a hour at least. I was out with in half a hour, absolutly no pain what so ever! and a day later no pain and no pian killers needed, Yvonne was absolutly amazing and proffesional! the facilities where modern and very clean. I couldn't be more impressed , Thank you !!
Thanks for your review Mike! Glad you had a good experience with our team
Fantastic experience: I was really impressed with Dr Helen and the team after my first consult today. Had my issues explored fully and a plan made, a full quote provided for the upcoming work, and appointments all booked. A complete contrast to my experience with a different practice in wellington; I felt really looked after by a very knowledgeable and confident practitioner. Thanks team!
Thanks Awatea, happy to hear we were able to provide such a positive experience
Fantastic experience: The doctor is very skilled.The doctor is very nice.
Thanks Zhang!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic. Dr Gurpinder Singh is a top notch dentist, and the rest of the team are absolutely lovely too. I got a crown, and a bunch of fillings and they were not only the cheapest option around, but they did a bloody good job too. My new crown looks absolutely perfect, and feels pain free and comfortable too. I'm so impressed by their caring and processional work. I was so nervous I nearly had a painc attack the first time, and without me even saying they gave me some time to feel better and were lovely. They also have super cool tech, which makes me happy.
Hi Rachel, thank you very much for your awesome review, we're glad it has been such a positive experience for you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Yvonne has been amazing throughout my treatments. She is always friendly and caring, and really passionate about what she does. Her approach is very smooth and calming, I can't help but falling asleep sometimes during procedures. Also great communication. I'm really glad to have found her as my dentist!
Thank you for your lovely review Yuna! We're happy to hear you are so pleased with Yvonne's work
Fantastic experience: Yvonne was a great communicator and was very helpful for me when getting my wisdom teeth out. I would highly recommend her to other patients. She made me feel comfortable and would always answer my questions whenever I need reassurance. Really lovely person. - Ilai Daymond
Thanks Ilai, glad to hear you had such a positive experience!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant friendly service with Yvonne!
Thanks Joe!
Negative experience: Unfortunately had to change my rating to 1 star after leaving my previous dental practice to come here. Waited 3 weeks for an appt to only be told on arrival the dentist Yvonne was not confident she could complete the procedure and would likely need to refer me to a specialist (X-rays were on file during with no communication prior about the hesitancy). Left very unhappy and went back to my previous practice, who completed the procedure.
Thank you Ana, we are glad we were able to help you with your dental emergency!
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff and a great first experience at real denistry!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Very nice people I went for the first time today and they were very friendly and helpful and knew what they were doing to sort me out
Thanks Beth, glad we were able to help!
Positive experience: The staff were very thoughtful and professional. I have anxiety going to see the dentist and this was an emergency situation where I cracked my tooth so I was very happy with Yvonne Chai. She was sensative and explained what she planned to do without doing a play by play and got my consent before going forward. The drugs also helped. I might leave my regular dentist. The equipment was also modern and the environment kept tidy and clean. I liked the ceilings, too, sconces, details in whitwash. Very soothing. I have to go back in two weeks. I hope it’s as good.
Thank you for your kind review! We are glad Yvonne was able to make sure you were comfortable while you were dealing with your dental emergency
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed it. Hygienist (Yvonne) was very friendly and done a very good job/cleaning. Highly recommended!
Thanks Isabel!
Fantastic experience: My daughter needed an appointment during Xmas break when it is so difficult to find anyone open so was glad to discover them. The administration service was very helpful and efficient and the dentist she saw was very kind and professional.
Thanks Jon, we are glad we were able to help during that tricky time of year!
Fantastic experience: Dr Chai was nice and gentle. Rest of the team was very welcoming. 10/10 would recommend.
Thanks Willie, we are pleased to hear you had a good visit with Yvonne
Fantastic experience: I called late in the afternoon after looking for a dentist in the area that offerd Afterpay. Not only was I lucky enough that the amazing Dr Singh himself answered the phone but he managed to get me an urgent appointment that day. Awesome service and honest consult. I will not be using any other dentist now. Thank you Real Dentistry!
Thank you for your glowing review Amigi! We are glad we were able to help
Fantastic experience: I found Real Dentistry to be both friendly and efficient as well. I would recommend others to use their services as I know myself I will be Thank you very much to the staff of Real Dentistry for the wonderful service deliverery.
Thank you Shaniqua! We are happy we made such a good impression
Fantastic experience: Amazing service, my 4 year old left thinking he had been to space not the dentist, Thank you
Thanks Rebecca, we're glad your son had a positive experience!
Negative experience: I have changed my original 5 star review to 1 star because the dentist failed to pick up a crack and decay in the tooth that was aching. I had to go back for a second consult. They found the decay but tried to charge me a second time. They waived the fee when I questioned it. Due to the delay I was unable to get the work done before a travel booking. I ended up having to find a dentist on holiday in a strange town, which was a struggle before Xmas. I will not be returning to Real Dentistry.
Fantastic experience: Haven't visited the dentist in 13 years and today was a good experience. So glad they could see me the next day from which i inenquired about making the appointment. Helen did a wonderful job explaining and taking care of my tooth extraction. Her bedside manner was amazing and kept me at ease as I was anxious at coming to the dentist. Her assistant was wonderful too but I didn't catch her name. And the receptionist is very prompt in emailing you back asap which I appreciated. So glad I chose this dentist.
Thanks Eileen, we are so pleased to hear you found this a positive experience! The assistant working that day was Lezay
Fantastic experience: If you need teeth care I recommend and commend Real dentistry for all your teeth cares.
Fantastic experience: Excellent services, fast, efficient and amazing friendly staff. Having afterpay is an added bonus!
Fantastic experience: I chose this dentist specifically for there payment option of afterpay and what I got, was a very professional and friendly dentistry. Staff are very friendly and understanding. I made an appointment with Dr Helen. She was very understanding of my situation and explained in detail what I had going in regards of my visit. Definitely recommended. 5 out of 5.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service.Friendly team.
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t rate this team more highly - especially Dr. Gurpinder Singh. Thanks for making coming to the dentist an easy and stress-free experience.
Negative experience: I had paid nearly a grand to refill my teeth and after three weeks I got bleeding and very sensitive when chew and swallow. I came back have a check and wait for 20 mins late. After that they try to excuse not their fault and also try to teach me something asking me what I do for work. They thought I came back try to complain but I’m not. I said I’m happy to pay it extra to fix more issues cause I can feel the gap on top of the teeth did not fill that the reason why that happened . They said did not touch it so it’s mean you paid for X-ray and refill just around not the hall teeth’s not included the top teeth’s . It’s not funny like get someone build your house with no need roof on top. I’m very disappointed for their service and never recommended any my business partner or friends try their service. If some one happy pay for your service please do good job not rough job thank.

Fantastic experience: Real Dentistry is very good, my dentist Dr Singh did a great job of bridging my two lower front teeth and it was a challenge, he did a spot on job seeing that I have gum problems and I am very happy with the result.
