Important — about this score
Please read before drawing conclusions about this clinic.
This score is an automated, opinion-based assessment generated by SmileJet's proprietary AI algorithm from publicly available information — including aggregated third-party reviews, clinic-published materials, and other open-source signals. It is not a statement of verified fact, a professional medical opinion, or an endorsement, and individual experiences may differ.
How the algorithm penalises scores
Our methodology applies score reductions where signals are detected that, in the algorithm's assessment, may indicate: unverifiable or potentially overstated claims about clinical experience or credentials; review patterns the model flags as inconsistent with organic user behaviour; or limited independent corroboration of marketing statements.
These adjustments reflect algorithmic signal-weighting only and do not constitute an allegation of any specific wrongdoing by this clinic or its staff.

Went in feeling extremely nervous & anxious but came out feeling so much more relaxed. Don't get me wrong it hasn't gotten me over my fear of Dentist's but I was able to make my next appointment more easily after having spoken in lengthy about what was going to happen in my next visit. Staff were patient & reassuring during my whole procedure. Thanks

While the staff are lovely, I was given a treatment that I didn’t need, and was told it would be a fix for the pain. Not even 3 weeks later and I was in Melbourne getting my tooth extracted because of how dodgy the work done was.

Cannot recommend Dr Gabby enough! I have always been incredibly anxious about going to the dentist, but with Dr Gabby and her wonderful dental assistants (Ella and Aisha I think?) it has been less stressful the past two appointments! Thanks so much ☺️
