I had such a great experience at Bell Hill Dental, and a huge part of that was thanks to Debbie and Stacy at the front desk. Theyโ€™re the kind of receptionists every dental practice wishes they had!

After breaking off a piece of tooth, I was trying to find a dentist who could attend to it quickly since my own dentist was too busy. Bell Hill were able to get onto the repair quickly and efficiently and I could not fault their Service, right from the moment I walked in the door from the reception team to my dentist and her chair side dental assistant, they were all so lovely. I didnโ€™t experience any pain with the procedure and it was quickly fixed to perfection. I was so impressed with my experience at Bell Hill that I have decided to change to them for my day to day dental care. Exceptional!

Had our baby tongue tie release at Bell Hill. The staff were amazing! So friendly from the start. Very reassuring, decisions felt informed and unrushed so there was plenty of time to think about things or get more information. The process was super fast and couldn't have asked for it to go better especially as a parent feeling very nervous about the procedure.

Clinic response ():

Response from the owner 3 weeks agoThanks Kimberley. I'm pleased the process was as quick and stress free as possible. Taking care of Mums and bubs at such a stressful time is what we love doing :)

Absolutely blown away with my experience at Bell Hill Dental, such helpful and lovely staff that were more than happy to help me with my severe tooth pain (even before becoming a patient with them). Was seen quickly and had everything well explained to me including different options available. Returned last week to get my tooth extracted - wasnโ€™t as horrible as I had anticipated due to the caring staff that were more than happy to answer my questions. Glad I have made the switch!
