I've gone to John for the last 15 years+. He's a solid and a safe pair of hands. Only downside is that he is pretty booked out well in advance. He wasn't available today, so tried seeing Saion and a really good first impression. When I walked in, he'd been through my notes and knew everything about my teeth, he was quick on the uptake when I described the problem, and best of all he explained things extremely well and in good detail (I just saw another review that said a similar thing). He was also upfront about costs and options.

Pretty much 5 out of 5 for everything. The brand new ultra clean, bright premises and the friendly atmosphere are first rate and the quality of care is excellent. John and Bertieโs chairside manner also is a highlight. Pricing seems to be similar to other clinics from the research I did so itโs all upside as far as I can see. Highly recommended.

Cannot recommend enough. Arlia was so incredible patient and understanding with my overwhelming anxiety. Itโs taken me 8 years to work up the courage to walk into a dentist, and I can safely say I will be back to continue my tooth journey. She walked me through every step of the way in what turned out to be a complex extraction. The whole team made me feel so at ease and I canโt thank them enough!

The team at Ilam dental are absolutely wonderful, I had my wisdom teeth removed with Saion and I could not have wished for a better experience as a patient. He is very thoughtful and thorough in his explanation of the procedures and was consistently ensuring I was feeling calm and comfortable the whole time. I had to ask if my teeth had come out because it was that painless, thank you to the whole team for making it such an easy experience!

Cannot praise Arlia's treatment highly enough. Went in with tea stained teeth, chipped front tooth, mismatched crown. Came out with a very balanced, clean brighter, repaired smile. Am so happy. And the cost was about 1/3 that I expected. As well, enlightening chat between dentist and assistant extended my brain. An excellent experience, top quality, value way beyond the cost. 6 stars out of 5. Dont hesitate to go to Arlia Schurr for your treatment.

This dental center by far have the best staff both in reception and the dentists themselves! I've gotten used to being dismissed and moved along, but Dr. Bertie took the time to explain what was happening and the process of everything which was so refreshing! Thanks to a speedy receptionist - Tui, I had an appointment booked the next day. Dr. John and his assistant then dealt with me whilst I was an anxious mess in the best way possible. Overall, I've never felt so safe and welcomed - thanks team!!

Highly recommended ilam dental I had a great experience with Saion. From the moment I arrived, he made me feel comfortable and at ease. He was very caring and took the time to thoroughly explain everything before starting the procedure, which really helped calm my nerves. His empathy and attentiveness were clear throughout the visit, and I truly appreciated how he prioritized my comfort. I highly recommend Dr. Saion for anyone looking for a dentist who genuinely cares about their patients!
