I wouldn't usually review a dentist, but I feel this experience warrants it.
I recently moved to the country/area, and needed to find a new dentist, which is usually a challenge for me because a) I hate going to the dentist and b) I like to think I'm relatively smart and appreciate the rare doctor/dentist that just talks with you eye to eye rather than at you.
Greville Dental came up pretty quick after a search, it seemed like an okay place, so I went for it. I'm happy I did as I probably had the best experience at a dentist in my life.
I was able to book the next day, I arrived on time, filled out a short form and was seen right away with hardly any wait. The dentist I saw - Shannon Yap - was friendly and direct and efficient and explained all that was going on in my mouth in clear language/detail, walking me through the X-Ray's after and pointing out a couple of things that needed amends, but also wasn't pushy about booking me back in etc.
Then, turns out it's a Bupa Members First place, so the whole clean/consultation was covered even with a basic plan, and I was out in about 30minutes with a complimentary bottle of listerine and toothpaste (nice touch).
For the first time in my life, I'm actually planning on going to the dentist regularly (every 6 months to a year) so long as I live in the area.
It was an unexpectedly pleasant (for a dentist!) experience, and I highly recommended giving it a try if you don't like going to the dentist. read more
