Been going to this practice for a few years and couldnt be happier!William is a true professional…read morein his field (more on a perfectionist side too) with a gentle understanding and kind approach.He would explain every little thing in detail making sure i understood what(how and why) is going to happen in the next appointments.I have been recommending their services to friends and family and will continue to do so!Hope this review will help people make the right choice in professional dental care.

I went to this Periodontist at 57 Harold St Hawthorn East Victoria 3123 and I would say that it was…read morethe worst and most expensive dental experience I have ever had. I would have to write a book about how expensive and poor the dental care is at this practice. He would be better as a butcher but he makes more than a top professional golfer. Making an appointment with his reception is a major effort! The reception will call your emergency contact for the slightest reason at any time. They rang my dear old mum at 8am to change my time as my phone was out of range for 10 mins going to my appointment. Don't bother calling as if his dental nurse pulls a sicky then he pulls his receptionist in and to hell with your call! You'd think at 300 a half hour which seems to be his minimum rate he would call an agency and shell out 300(half an hours work) to get a receptionist for a day. All this guy is interested in is how quickly he can become a multi-millionaire. GIVE THIS GUY A BIG MISS OR YOU WILL BE BROKE AND SORRY!

I have a confession. I am one of the strange few people on this earth that actually doesn't hate…read moregoing to the dentist. I mean, it's not my favourite thing to do either, but I don't get that feeling of dread upon booking my six monthly checkup and clean. Since moving to Melbourne I have been seeing Dr Ling at Burnley Family Dentists (about 5 years now). And I have to say, he's awesome! Super thorough with his check-ups. Has all the latest technology (including X-rays) and even takes the time to explain stuff to you. All while you chill back and watch the perfectly positioned plasma TV to take your mind off the usual dentist chair noises! Might not be the cheapest, but then show me a dentist that is cheap! All I will say is that he definitely makes up for the more expensive cost by making it as pleasant and as comfortable an experience as possible, which is pretty difficult when you think about going to the dentist...so if you are overdue for a checkup and are putting it off, rip that band aid off and get yourself an appointment.

I'll see how I recover ( filling is a bit painful ). All staff were very lovely and talked me…read morethrough the whole process. So I knew exactly what was going on and how much it would cost. Good experience.

Best dentist in Melbourne. Dr Paino has treated myself, my husband and son, and now many of my…read morework colleagues for the past seven years, and most recently has applied Invasalign to prepare my teeth for dental implant. He adopts state of the art technology at his practice and has a network of respected and esteemed specialists in Melbourne which placed me in the hands of one of the best Periodontal surgeons in the state. My husband required complicated extractions and jaw surgery. Dr Paino was available outside of business hours on his personal mobile to provide support to my husband late at night when he was extremely unwell after being released from hospital. Last month my son was due to fly interstate but was unwell with an infection related to wisdom teeth. We messaged Dr Paino on a Saturday night to seek his advice and he immediately responded and provided a telehealth appointment and arranged for a script to be sent to a 24 hour chemist. This meant our son was well enough to travel a few days later. We can't thank him enough for his expertise, kindness and willingness to provide such out of scope help and support without expecting anything in return. He is not only an excellent practitioner but someone very special who treats his patients like family. We can't thank or recommend him highly enough.

I've had an appointment for teeth/gum cleaning and polishing which was done by Dr Paino himself -…read morequite poorly performed procedure. He didn't even bother cleaning around all of my gums and it felt like he just wanted get done and over with it and then just slapped on some flurried at the end - frankly speaking not worth the money. The other time I've contacted them returning from a trip with chipped filling and since I've visited them just before I went away and not knowing any other dentists in Melbourne I contacted them and explained to the receptionist what I needed to get done which was a fairly simple job. For some reason she had struggled to understand me and kept saying that she'll book me in for an examination when I knew exactly what needed to be done and obviously didn't want to pay them more money examining me, especially after spending nearly $500 in their clinic just a few month before on examination, ex rays and teeth cleaning. I've giving them 3 stars because Dr Paino took time answering all my questions at the first visit.

I work as a dental assistant so I know when dentists are good at their job, I am so glad I was…read morereferred here it was not an easy case by any means but I was told all my options, what it would cost and I didn't feel rushed or pressured into making a decision. Their infection control is impeccable which is really important for root canal as there needs to be a sterile field. The dentist was really thorough he checked my perio ( gums) and took an x-ray , he is also excellent at numbing up usually it takes me ages I was numb within 2 minutes which was great. I couldn't be more happy with the service of the dentist and his dental assistant who was friendly and efficient . My tooth now has a favourable prognosis he even managed to get part of a broken file out which is nearly impossible even for specialists . I have seen it time and time again people getting teeth extracted because it is cheaper but replacement options are just as expensive and they don't last forever not even implants. My advise as a dental assistant to anyone who needs root canal is to make sure they use a rubber dam to isolate the tooth from bacteria and also to help you to avoid swallowing the bleach solution used to irrigate the tooth, look around to ensure the staff aren't touching anything with their dirty gloves this can spread infection via other patients and know that root canals should not be painful it is the dentists job to be able to numb correctly. Don't sit there in agony, tell your dentist, they have an ethical obligation to stop and give you more anaesthetic The staff here tick all those boxes I couldn't be happier I would recommend them to anyone .
