Fantastic experience: Friendly and Professional Staff They made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Previously (over 15 years ago) I had work done on my teeth. It was very costly and my jaw and gums were usually sore for a week. I stopped going to the dentist. During the last few weeksI received great service from Smile in Kelston. I was given great advice on how to look after my teeth better. I had my teeth cleaned and my mouth felt pretty good after it. My faith in dentists is back. I am returning to have more work done on my teeth. Thank you Smile - Kelston!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely wonderful experience,very helpful. Great staff, good advice I'm pleased to say I am most satisfied with the work I got done. Shout out to Doctor Matthews and Lucy.
Fantastic experience: So easy to deal with.
Negative experience: Worst dentures ever made, don't go here ever.
Fantastic experience: Hate visiting the dentist! No issues at all. Pleasant experience. Efficient service. I’ll be back.

Negative experience: Not a pleasant experience at all with Dr. Dorothy. Just took a peek and didn't really address the problem. Didn't feel confident in her examination. We ended up visiting another clinic to get our problem resolved.
Negative experience: Worst dentist ever. Destroyed my back tooth, then gleefully told me how a root canal & crown would fix it.
Fantastic experience: Got an extraction which was painless and have healed nicely.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional people. Will recommend them to friends and family
Negative experience: My recent visit to this clinic was the worst dental experience in my life.
Negative experience: Very rough dentist I was told that I have to take an X-ray to see if filling is possible or it will work but the dentist was still not sure after X-ray was taken. Unprofessional
Fantastic experience: Great service and great results
Fantastic experience: Dorothy is an excellent dentist. Explains everything carefully. She is very professional and caring.
Negative experience: TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH DR DOROTHY OKA HAYASHI !!!! Went to get a filling done and doctor Oka hayashi was rude and REALLY REALLY rough. Had to raise my hand multiple times to let her know I was in pain where she then stuck a 4th needle roughly into my gum (guessing she's angry at this point because I keep telling her I'm feeling pain). I have had this procedure done before multiple times and never have I ever felt this much pain and discomfort from any other dentist I have been to. Went home not being able to feel my whole face and couldn't sleep from the pain of all the needles. I have contacted them to speak to a manager but they couldn't put me through. But will not stop contacting till this is sorted as I do not want this to happen again to anyone. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!! Your money will be better off somewhere else. Where you get treated like a customer and not a dog.
Fantastic experience: Very kind professional dentist.Made me feel comfortable. Recommend this location and IL be coming back
Fantastic experience: It was quick and fairly painless, explained very well before and after procedure. Thank you
Negative experience: If I could give a zero for the service. I would. I had oppointment for clean up and asked to get consulatation for tooth extraction. Dentist Dorothy was so rude and she was so rough on my gums. Did not clean my tooth properly and finished the work less then 15 mins. She was that hard on my gums I was tearful during the procedure. My gums were sensitive anyway. I am having constant bleeding since that and got a big wound in my gum. I am trying to contact the head office to complain about this lady Dorothy. How can she be so rude to patients. If I don’t complain she would do the same thing to other patients. I feel so disappointed and would not recommend anyone to see specially DR Dorothy. She should be fired from her job.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and the procedure was well explained and was done really well by Doctor Dorothy
Positive experience: Only went there due to my dentist not being available and also they offered afterpay but to my disappointment the receptionist didn't know how to set it up so I paid full price anyway which was kind of a waste of my time for me going there as other dentists were charging less. The saving grace was that Dentist Dorothy did a great extraction job and happy with that but the receptionist needs to work out the afterpay thing.
Fantastic experience: The dentist went over and above expectations and was so caring and fantastic. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I am incredibly satified with the service given by the dentist and receptionist. The dentist provided her expertise advice and very patient with me eventhough I did ask her several times for the same questions so as to reconfirm my understanding with the inflamation on my tooth and the fee charged was reasonable. Will definitely go back to her if I need any dental treatment again. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Very good professional treatment from the dentist I received with friendly, explained and understanding way. Good to recommend to others who need their dental treatment.
Negative experience: Very disappointed for this dental. Worst attitude service. Nurse is good but dentist Dorothy Oka Hayashi is very rude and didn't show any respect to customer. It doesn't make sense why this guy can be a dentist!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Both the Dentist and Nurse were professional, knowledgeable, and above all kind. I actually look forward to ongoing care from them.
Positive experience: I give my experience at Kelston Dentists a 4/5. The staff were both friendly and professional. They did an amazing job with my teeth and I will be coming back in six months time.
Positive experience: Looks ok
Negative experience: Had the worst ever experience here, very rude dental nurse. Will never ever return and strongly recommend you go elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful service. Excellent advice. Lovely staff. Thank you

Fantastic experience: My experience at kelston was great they made me feel comfortable we had good conversations with the staff there I didn't feel a thing in my tooth extraction it was one of the best experiences I've had going to a dentist !
Fantastic experience: Consistent exceptional service by all staff at Smile Dental Kelston. I have previously visited before for a x-ray and clean and it was honestly the most painless clean I have ever had. The dentist was thorough in his explanation and gave me options on what to consider next for my teeth. My father also went in for a tooth extraction which went smoothly. Again, the dentist thoroughly explained the procedure and took the time to answer any questions. They patiently worked with me to get my fathers paperwork sorted for him to get SuperGold pricing due to a misunderstanding on my part. Highly recommend Smile Dental Kelston for efficient and amazing service for your dental services.
Fantastic experience: Smile Dental Kelston: fabulous service, prompt bookings, excellent communication and compassionate service. The Dentist and her assistant are so professional; this has been the most positive dental experience I've ever had. I would recommend. Great new tech and new clinic too.

Fantastic experience: Hi Darryl Bellchambers here. I had a painful tooth ache on Friday morning. I phoned a few Denists and found Smile Dental in Kelston were the best in my area, they were able to see me on Friday afternoon ( the same day). As soon as I arrived I was made to feel very welcome and relaxed by the staff at Smile Dental Kelston. Once I was in the Dentist chair I was told of the many options I could choose aswell as the outcome after every procedure. Having chosen a procedure, I was put at ease by both the Dentist and Dental Assistant. I am 63 years old and have had alot of work done on my teeth over the years. I have to say the staff at Smile Dental Kelston were professional and very helpful and made sure I was comfortable on a regular basis during the procedure. I will be going back to Smile Dental Kelston soon as I need 1 more filling. Smile Dental Kelston are the best Dentist I have ever been to. I have been to another Smile Dental Surgery before they were very good aswell, however Smile Dental Kelston are even better. I have had no problems at all after my procedure and am healing up very fast without need of any pain relief. Their prices are very competitive. It was a pleasant surprise all around. I thank the staff very much for putting me out of pain in such an easy painless way.
Fantastic experience: It took me a long time to buck up the courage and make an appointment. Eventually I did and booked an appointment for Saturday at Smile Dental, Kelston. And I am so happy I did. It was an amazing experience. The Dentist and her assistant were fantastic. Very happy with my experience. Fantastic job ladies.
Fantastic experience: Very happy with the professional service, friendly staff and ease at sorting any dental problems.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Manish Latchoumanane is by far the best dentist I’ve ever had. See you again soon.

Fantastic experience: First time using Smile Dental Kelston branch. Fantastic service from the whole team, from initial consultation right thru to the reminders and follow ups. Thank you team for the service & quality. Definitely recommend smile dental to all family and friends. Thanks again.
Fantastic experience: I had a really fantastic, professional and efficient experience at Smile Dental. The process was easy, from making the appointment to filling out the forms, to sitting in the chair. The dentist was really straight forward and super clear in his information and assessment. I really liked the experience, and felt calm, even though it can be a harrowing experience to visit the dentists. The results were amazing and my teeth and gums look better than they have in decades. Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and good service..!!
Fantastic experience: Good experts. Great service. Will visit again.
Fantastic experience: I am always anxious going to the dentist but i was impressed by the way Manish and his assistant made me feel at ease. The whole procedure was professional but relaxed from playing my taste in music to painfree dental process and checking in regularly that I was ok. I felt very cared for and listened to.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional service, thank you
Fantastic experience: I found a fantastic dentist in Kelston, after finally seeking help for some tooth pain. Was able to book an appointment over the phone for that Saturday lunch time and the small team went straight into taking x-rays, before presenting me with a couple of payment options. The Kelston Dentist gave me all the information I needed to help decide the best option for me and I was happy for them to go ahead with that procedure. Left the dentist very happy and pain free, the dentist also gave me some good after care advice for the following few days. Having not visited a dentist for several years, it was a pleasant experience and I’ve been happy to return to the Kelston dentist more regularly.
Negative experience: I wrote to this head office expressing my disappointment in the service received at Smile Dental Kelston and never received a response. Had a booked appointed. After waiting for an hour in reception (with no music, magazines or tv) I asked the receptionist when she returned if my dentist was running late to be advised that there was still another person to go ahead of me. I felt like I was in a walk -in clinic. I was not advised at any stage that the clinic was running 1.5 hours behind, or asked if I wanted to reschedule on another day or wait. Instead I was left in reception by myself wondering what was happening, with no explanation or apology for the delay.
Negative experience: Definitely won't recommend. Went for consultation and dentist advised for tooth extraction. As it's my first visit I was afraid coz I couldn't take pain. Seeing my condition he didn't even calm me instead offered to go specialist and get it removed. And charged $95 just for xray. Worthless and useless.
Fantastic experience: Yesterday done extraction of my tooth from Dr Sam so(kelston branch).very Well experienced and done the job smoothly . Thanks Dr Sam So... Highly recommended
Positive experience: Excellent attention, and sensitive. Good workmanship.
Fantastic experience: The nicest doctor and amazing service
Fantastic experience: I'd like to say that I would recommend Smile Dental Kelston. From my first appointment I was made to feel welcome, at ease and not judged. Sam and Ashley are friendly, caring and professional. It would have to be the best dental experience I've ever had. If you're looking for a dentist, go and see them.
Fantastic experience: Smile Dental gave me back my smile and confidence
Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of Dr. Sam So as my Dentist at the Kelston, Smile Dental. As a new client, I've had a great experience for both my first 2 visits. Sam's great at keeping my nerves at bay, as I dread going to the Dentist. He's very thorough in explaining step by step and the costs. Both times have been painless visits. Guaranteed to anyone who needs to go to the Dentist. You can't put a price on a smile
Fantastic experience: Darshini is the best dentist ever full stop. true story. shes just fantastic. great work, amazing customer service.
Fantastic experience: I was happy very happy with the service I was given from both staff and the surgeon the surgeon was very clear on what he was doing especially as he was performing the extraction so yea thumbs up I would differently go back there
