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 .

She is thorough, and my teeth always look whiter - without having them whitened (which I think cannot be good for the teeth). She's lovely too, which would make it an even better experience for people who are concerned about going to the dentist. I'm used to it, though... Overall, even if you hate the dentist, it's worth checking out this place.

Wow! Where do I start?…read more Like a lot of people I suffered from a lifelong phobia of Dentists, so it took a lot of self convincing to make the initial appointment. But from the very first visit where Dr Max spent approximately one hour talking me through how the sleep dentistry would work for me, and giving me confidence to get started. He and his amazing staff were very understanding of my situation. We made a plan for my treatment & I felt very comfortable about what Dr Max was suggesting. After three visits under sedation and a couple without, everything went to plan and at no time did I have any pain. I now feel that I will be able to go back if and when I need to. Thank you Dr Max for taking me on as your patient. I now have a perfect set of teeth, but also you have given me the confidence to come and see you without too much anxiety, and Dr Max you were right. I do wish I had done it earlier. Ken P

Dr Olstein just waves his magic 'wand' around your sore tooth and within minutes you are NUMB! The clinic also offers sleep dentistry too. My partner was super pleased with this clinic, she had been fearing a visit to the dentist for such a long time and is now the biggest fan of Dr Olstein. He has a great bedside manner and even the dental nurses are amazing. Highly recommend this clinic.

I had been suffering with a broken tooth for a month and it had gotten to the point where something had to be done. I did some research and discovered that Dr. Olstein offeres sleep dentistry. I liked the sound of it, but after enquiring into the cost realised that it may not suite my budget. I decided to go see Dr Olstein and see what he was like. My experience at his clinic was wonderful. Right from the moment we walked in the door. The dental assistant was so lovely. She was so reassuring, gentle and professional. Dr Olstein himself was such a sweet man. He spoke to me about the possibility of keeping my busted up tooth with a root canal, but i wanted it gone. There was NO NEEDLE, he used some kind of magic called a wand. The Wand is essentially a computer-controlled dental injection. The flow rate of the local anaesthetic is controlled by a computer. This means that the injection is guaranteed to be slow and steady and therefore comfortable. I honestly didn't feel a thing. Dr Olstein was so lovely. I will be going back to him for all my dental requirements. I have even recommended him and his practice to people.

As soon as I walked in, the staff were attentive to my arrival and extremely friendly. Shortly after arriving, I realized I left my insurance card at home {palm to forehead moment}. This didn't phase them in the slightest though and were happy for me to come back another day to settle up. That right there spoke volumes. As I was sitting down, a family walked out from the back, all smiles, happy and laughing as they exited. I took that as a really good sign! Soon I went to the patient room where they took X-rays and all the necessities done at a first appointment. They were quick, efficient, conversational, kind and open with every action. This is something I greatly appreciate! The hygienist also took the time to thoroughly explain the numbers she spouted off at the beginning of the exam with a visual diagram and a full overview of the condition of my teeth and things to look out for. Always a plus! I was in and out of there in under 1 hour! Well done Bupa, I was one happy customer. Keep up the good work!!

Met with Dr. Rebellato for a consultation. I felt profiled. Perhaps there were certain assumptions…read moremade about me because I have some of my hair dyed green? We spent half of the appointment discussing my medications prescribed by my GP due to a chronic back issue that led to surgery. I explained I had a prolapsed disc. He asked me how it happened. He told me I was being given heavy medications. Being that he is not my GP and does not know the extent of my medical history I thought this was really not his place to say. But he was nice enough and soft spoke so I explained that none of the medication is daily use- only when needed. He then asked why I was prescribed Lyrica and whether it was just after my surgery or current which I explained was for the sciatica nerve pain. I told him after my surgery I experienced recurrent nerve pain and was give a new lyrica prescription and was sent to a specialist to get a steroid injection in my spine to help with inflammation at which point they found in the rxays why I was still having irritation on my sciatic nerve. I also explained I had since stopped taking that prescription as my pain resolved since changing to a less physically demanding job. He then asked if they had to do surgery on my entire spine or just one part. This is when I realized what a stupid question this was as each vertebrae in your spine has one disc between them and the sciatic nerve runs from the lower back down to your toes and WHY am I discussing in such great detail my back issues with a dentist who is clearly so far out of his depth he thought you'd cut open an entire spine to work on one disc and clearly does not know what a herniated disc is, what a sciatic nerve is or where it is located. I couldn't understand why I was justifying the care plan provided to me by my Specialist Physical Therapist and my GP. This line of questioning was never tied into any thing having to do with my potential treatment plan for my tooth nor if my medications would have any impact on treatment. He also made a remark about my OPG and other previous dental work. I mentioned that I have had a lot of dental work in the past and he asked me in what country it was done??? I have an accent so, I guess he was making more assumptions about me. We were not there to talk about who did my other dental work or where. The consult was about one tooth that may be in need of endo treatment. *I'll note he did NOT ask who or where the filling on this particular tooth in question was carried out so I really don't see the importance.* When you go to see a medical professional you want just that- professionalism. You also want to be as transparent as possible with your medical history so that they are well informed so they can do their best to assess you and help you. In retrospect I don't think Dr Rebellato had the right the ask me any of the above information and it was an overreach of his position as a health care practitioner to ask the kinds of things he did that were not relevant to my consult or even my teeth. I'm obviously not shy talking about my medical history but I think as a medical professional you know that people feel obligated to answer your questions so if those questions are not completely necessary or connected to the reason of your visit then you have the responsibility to ask permission before you question your patient on unrelated matters.
