Fantastic experience: Amazing service, needed a filling as a result of my checkup and was able to get it done straight away, took no time at all and Tina and Megan were brilliant
Fantastic experience: I recently had an appointment with Tia Yu- hygienist and was thoroughly impressed. She is incredibly good at what she does—professional, attentive, and detail-oriented. Her communication skills are excellent and she made sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. The service she delivered was truly splendid, and I left feeling well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch dental care! I have finally found my place for dental care :)

Thank you for the great review!
Fantastic experience: I had the best experience at Lumino Dentist! The team took care to look after me, right from my experience at reception to seeing the lovely Dr Tina Patu and her trusty dental assistant Moira Peniamina. I can't speak more highly of them. I'm actually looking forward to my next check up.
Thank you for the glowing review, Agnes! We are so glad that Dr Tina and Moira could help you to feel so at ease during your visit, and we look forward to seeing you again!

Thank you for the amazing review, Caitlin! We are delighted to hear that you have been so happy with Andy and the team.
Fantastic experience: Bashar is amazing! Really kind and communicates clearly about the process and options. I’ve had anxiety with going to the dentist as long as I can remember, but not anymore.
Thanks for the lovely feedback, Dayna!
Fantastic experience: All previous dental anxiety has been laid to rest. Sophia is an absolute gem. She was patient and truly took the time to manage my fear. The treatments were discussed with me on a very personal level during the initial exam, I felt like she truly wanted to help restore my oral health. I was scheduled 3 appointments for the work needed and from the first appointment I knew I had finally found my regular dentist!! My heartfelt thanks to Sophia!! Book NOW!
We're so happy to hear this, James - goodbye dental anxiety! Thanks for the great feedback.
Fantastic experience: I really just wanted to say that Sophia was very thoughtful, engaging and supportive during my oral exam. I do have some form of dental anxiety and she totally put me at my ease. I also loved the way Sophia explained things to me in layman terms. It made a massive difference. So thank you.
Hi Kyle, we're so glad you felt at ease during treatment. Thanks for the lovely feedback!
Fantastic experience: Sophia Smyth is the best dentist I’ve ever been to. So skilled and caring. Fantastic job on my teeth and even picked up on a skin cancer I didn’t know I had and referred me on to dermatologist!
Thanks Paul, we appreciate the great feedback! Glad that you can now get sorted out.
Fantastic experience: Charlotte is an amazing dentist, plus she’s kind and caring, I always feel comfortable when I visit. She takes the time to explain things clearly. All the staff are so friendly. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I suggest to go here. David accepted to do a difficult and stressful work to try to save one of my teeth. The tooth has been saved!. What else can I say? I am extremely happy. Usually others offer to pull the tooth. But I try to keep my teeth as long as possible. I am 66 Yo
Thanks Frances. We agree that David is very caring, he’ll be chuffed to read your review
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Charlotte for well over twenty years. Her focus has always been on what’s best for my teeth over the long term. We have done a lot of preventative maintenance as well as great cosmetic veneers. The practice and it’s people are extremely professional.
Thanks Christine. It’s always a pleasure to see you, and lovely to read your review
Fantastic experience: I have been going to see Charlotte for a good number of years now and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting the best dental treatment possible. Always kind, calm and professional.
Thank you for taking the time to post a review always lovely to see you, Liz
Fantastic experience: Hands down, the best dental experience I've ever had. This practice will be my "go-to" from now on. From the moment I approached reception to the second I left, this was quite frankly the perfect experience. I found the reception staff to be knowledgeable, endlessly helpful, empathetic and engaged. The dentist was lovely - she really listened to me carefully and executed a very precise and painless set of adjustments. The assistant also worked extremely well with the dentist; in a synchronous way which helped to put me at ease. The result can really be described only one way: as the perfect marriage of three-way communication, and one very happy customer. I highly recommend this practice.
Thank you for your review Phill- it is much appreciated
Fantastic experience: I can recommend Charlotte at Woodward Dental highly! She is patient with people who have a severe phobia of dentists, does a technically stunning job - and is a lovely person with it. I wouldn't go to any other dentist and have recommended her to all of my friends and family. And the always cheerful and caring Cathy at reception, who is equally in tune with the needs of the patients needs a special mention too. Thanks guys!
Thankyou very much Kai! All the best
Fantastic experience: I went to Charlotte after I had horrific experiences at a previous dentist who re-did the same filling 4 times and it still was not done properly and causing me discomfort. Amazingly, she fixed the issue in 30 minutes. She is very gentle and personable, and I have recommended her to all my family & friends who ask for a good dentist. Wish I could give more than stars.
Hi Becky. Thankyou very much for your great review. My aim is always toward combining care for my patients with dental work that works, and it’s lovely when people notice. All the best, Charlotte
Fantastic experience: Woodward Dental is great and I would recommend them to others. My dentist Charlotte was brilliant.
Hi Alex! Thanks for posting this review
Fantastic experience: I was extremely anxious about going to the dentist due to having a lot of work done as a child. Charlotte is fantastic she was very understanding of my nerves and went the extra mile in making me feel comfortable and calm for my fillings. She was so gentle I didn't feel a thing! Past experiences else where has been rough and painful, but Charlotte takes care in her work and in her patients. Thank you for looking after me, this will definitely be my on going dentist from now on.
Thanks for your lovely review, Kaylie. I’ll look for award to seeing you for a check next year
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Woodward for over 10 years. I find them completely trustworthy and competent and they are lovely friendly people as well. In the past, I have had dentists try to pressure me to have treatments that I don't want or think I need but there is none of that here...highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Great Dentist. Charlotte is professional and experienced. My latest filling didn't even hurt - I still can't quite believe it!
Fantastic experience: Woodward Street Dental has been my dental provider under its current and previous ownership since the 1960s. Excellent service, skilled and pleasant people make the visits as enjoyable as dentistry can be. Without hesitation, very highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: My family have been having our teeth looked after by Woodward Dental for nearly 20 years and have always found them extremely professional and competent. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Negative experience: The dentist and hygenist are superb. However they are let down by a rude, difficult and unhelpful receptionist. Im taking my business elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic and friendly service, especially as I was quite nervous to begin with. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Charlotte has cared for my teeth for 35 years. What most impresses me most is the preventive care which has meant no cracked or broken teeth or 50s fillings dropping out so typical of we 50s children. A1 crowns and only as required and my recent cosmetic bonding has given me a treat of a smile back. My sister and husband also use Woodward Dental's excellent service. We thoroughly recommend anyone's teeth to their care!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent! Super friendly and professional team. They definitely go the extra mile for their clients!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend, great dentist and team
Fantastic experience: Friendly, helpful staff who really care about their clients. I know my teeth are being well looked after.
Positive experience: Friendly, convenient dentist.
