Fantastic experience: No one really looks forward to going to the dentist—but in this case, I make an exception. The whole experience was excellent. Totally pain-free, and the team was friendly, professional, and made everything feel relaxed and seemless. Great service from start to finish.

Fantastic experience: What a greatful experience, My father inlaw needed urgent dental care after breaking a tooth and Peter the dentist spent Easter Sunday morning to ensure that his welfare was first priority. The service and craftsmanship of the crown was 2nd to none and I cannot reccomend Sunset Dentist enough, thank you very much, you were amazing!

Adam 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I went for the first time to get a broken filling replaced and it was done very quick and painless - but what I really liked was I was not being pressured/sold on a bunch of expensive other cosmetic work but just given good clear real advice on what other teeth need attention ...so this is my dentist now & I gladly recommend them to others

Beth Clothier 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love sunset dental, everyone is very welcoming and friendly. I recently went in to get my teeth professionally whitened and I couldn't be happier with the results! My teeth are several shades whiter and I was sent home with at-home applicators for when I want to touch it up myself in the future. They explained each step of the procedure beforehand and constantly checked in with me to make sure I was okay throughout. My teeth are noticeably whiter and brighter. I highly recommend using Sunset Dental for your teeth whitening.

Sunset Dental Care

Dear Beth, Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with our teeth whitening service. It's wonderful to know that you are happy with the results and that our team made you feel comfortable and informed throughout the procedure. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to seeing you again at Sunset Dental Care! Best regards, The Sunset Dental Care Team

Fantastic experience: I came here for a emergency root canal after being mucked around by my previous dentist. I had a severe toothache which was radiating through my jaw and my face was swollen. I called Sunset Dental Care and they were able to see me that same day. After treatment the pain immediately went away, I felt like they listened and cared. Dr. Peter is very professional and a great dentist! You can tell he is very experienced and the other staff members are great too. I'm never going to another dentist! Thank you so much for helping me :)

Lynne Scott 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Professional, kind, great listener with good communication skills and an immensely caring nature. This is what comes to mind with my experience at the dentist and with Dr. Peter Rucastle, including his dental assistant nurse. I was anxious and scared beyond words, due to past diabolical and horrendous experiences with previous dentists. It has always been a place I avoid, until absolutely needed. I am no longer nervous, feel confident and more at ease, and will readily accept going to see Dr. Rucastle in the future. The bonus with my first appointment was no pain! Marvellous, and thank you for making my experience most relaxing. Lynne Scott - Owner of The Body Tonic Group - now a happy and regular client.

Jayne Richardson 3 years ago

Linda Jackson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Peter is a kind, caring professional. I tried accessing emergency care over a long weekend without success. When I contacted him in desperation he immediately gave me a time to help me out.. 5.30 on a Sunday afternoon! 10 stars in my book!!

Robin Lange 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Peter is a fantastic dentist, with a really nice renovated practice. There’s a TV for watching something during longer procedures and the whole place feels modern and inviting. Everyone cares and looks after you from the moment you enter. They also do SouthernCross EasyClaim for members, and helped me out when I didn’t have my card on me. Anyone looking for a dental practice that’s modern and professional should definitely go and see Peter. He’s got you

Fantastic experience: Dr. Jonathan Franks is a dentist with a warm and friendly personality who really cares for the well being and future dental health of all his patients. His practice offers a quality dental service and no appointment is ever rushed. He always provides a professional and honest appraisal of the state of your teeth and the treatment required to maintain a healthy set of teeth and gums. He and his dental nursing assistant, Lynette, work together seamlessly as a team via what often appears to be effective non-verbal communication. His practice is to be highly recommended.
