I had an excellent experience with Dr Finn and his staff who recently performed dental implant surgery on me. I elected to have the procedure performed under local anaesthetic and there was negligible discomfort. Preoperative scans and consultation lay the groundwork for a smooth and successful procedure.

Dr Finn installed an implant in my gum last week - as a simple retired-soldier it seemed to be an extremely delicate and skilful operation, but it was performed perfectly. Dr Finn's professionalism and competence were exemplary as were his pre- and post-advices re the treatment. He is extremely courteous and he imparted an air of proficiency which, in turn, engendered a comfort in me that I was receiving the best possible treatment. I thank Brian for his professionalism and his staff for their support, happy demeanour and kindnesses to me. Sincerely, Jim Dickson

Over the past two years I have had 5 implants and one bone graft performed by Dr Finn. He is an outstanding surgeon with incredible attention to detail. You leave your first appointment in no doubt that you are in very good hands. His staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. They plan and implement all the pre and post op stages to perfection. What an outstanding team and operation. A case study for service excellence.

Had the absolute pleasure of having my last remaining Wisdom tooth plus another in the same area extracted. I use the term “absolute pleasure” because after the procedure which was done under general aesthetic, I awoke and felt like nothing had been done. Couldn’t believe I’d actually had two, very difficult to get at teeth, removed. No swelling. No nausea after the anaesthetic. Very little bleeding which stopped whilst in recovery enjoying some jelly and ice cream. Got home and was told to take it easy and rest, why, I was feeling on top of the world. I did as the doctor said even so. Can’t give Dr Brian Finn and his very professional team high enough praise. Go Team Finn!!!

Dr. Finn was amazing. He explained the entire process clearly, was easy to talk to, and it was evident from the start that he’s a wealth of knowledge. I really appreciated that he didn’t sugarcoat anything; he gave honest, factual advice, which I found both refreshing and reassuring. Highly recommend if you're looking for a surgeon who delivers high-end, quality care.

The man, the myth, the legend. I heard Dr Finn owns a helicopter, well he damn well deserves it. He did an incredible job removing some bad back teeth. I was asleep for the procedures, no pain post op, just excellent work. Thanks Dr Brian Finn and your team.!
