    You need a trip to the dentist? It's been a while right? Stop dwelling about it and book yourself a…read morevisit! Get over the cost factor, the uncomfortable factor, the pain factor, and just do it! All those concerns will be put at ease if you book a visit with these guys - my personal experience is only with Dr Victor Young, so I can only vouch for his professionalism, honesty and attentive work. I went in a few weeks ago and had two fillings done then and there on my first visit; I had the option if I wanted to come back and just pay for the consult, which was just over $40 I think, but opted to have it all done at once, and it only set me back $480 total - that was very good price, and in this case 'cheap' DOES NOT equate with 'nasty'. This Doc has been a partner with Avondale Dental for over 13 years (found that out with print media, he was not the one that told me), and talked me through everything that he was doing, gave me options and in no way pushed all the 'extra's' on to me to earn extra cash. Really happy to have found such a great all round dentist - don't retire or go anywhere soon Dr Young!

    I had this place recommended to me by my step-mum. She has TMJ (some jaw-locking problem that makes…read moremost dental procedures excruciating) and said that they dealt with it and her very well. I have no TMJ but I did have a chunk missing from a tooth that had come up against a beer bottle and lost, so I went along. The staff were all really friendly and the dentist himself was easy-going and put me at ease. We talked about the chip in my tooth and I also said I had wisdom teeth that I'd been told would have to come out at some point. He had a look at them and said that actually had come in straight and complication free, so unless I found them uncomfortable they could actually just stay there quite happily. Why is this significant? Because by saying this he lost himself hundreds - if not thousands - of dollars of work, but that wasn't his main concern. That's why I'll go back to them (although not to get my wisdom teeth out).

    When your kid needs an orthodontist, the district Dental Nurse gives you a list from which to…read morechoose one. It's pretty much a random selection, although I did pull up the websites of a couple (which again, don't much help with differentiating one from another). I chose Janice in the end because her website was comprehensive but mainly because of her location which works for us. I'm glad I did because it turns out she's really good. When I had orthodontic treatment as a kid in the 80s it involved extractions (in my case 8, yes 8 permanent teeth!) followed by braces, followed by a retainer. Years passed and thousands of (my parents') dollars were spent. Our experience with Janice started with photographs and x-rays followed by a thorough consultation with all the corresponding paperwork explaining the treatment plan and costs. Fees paid upfront get a discount and there are absolutely no hidden costs. We are now unlucky enough to have all three of our children under Janice's care but due to the technical advances and undoubtedly Janice's superior skills, it is looking like only one of our three will actually need braces. That's not to say we haven't had to spend money on expanders and retainers but with these alternative interventions we've hopefully saved not only heaps of dosh, but also the dreaded metal-mouth for two thirds of the short people in the house. I really can't recommend Janice highly enough; she is surrounded by a fabulous friendly and efficient team, her offices are lovely and her whole business is very kid-friendly which is important. Nothing is ever too much trouble and all appointments, including unplanned ones for unforeseen hiccups (my daughter's appliance proved particularly challenging in the early days) are all covered up front. If you need an orthodontist, go here.

It is actually relaxing.... My older daughter had really bad teeth. Twisted, teeth behind others, coming in sideways... bad bad bad.... Janice talked us through the treatment process. We asked lots of questions and Hanice took the time to not only answer my questions but my daughters too. First a plate for one year to create space for the adult teeth. 6 month break. Braces on top teeth for 1 year. Today she got her braces off.....amazing!!!!!!!!! Next week she will get a retainer then later braces on the bottom teeth. My younger daughter has bad anxiety and today had to go in to have spaces put in for a thumb stopper being fitted next week.... Mary (the lovely Scottish lady) said to my daughter who was freaking out "I have got the nicest nurse for you today - everybody loves her - here is Nina" my daughter went off holding her hand and a few minutes later returning all smiles and looking forward to her next appointment. They have a great payment plan too. I pay $200 per month and everything just gets paid off - I can't afford up front full payments and this was never a issue. I can not recommend Janice and her team more!
