The experience at Oasis is awesome from friendly helpful staff on the desk to the dentist to the hygienist. I used to hate going to dentist but this practice is awesome. My teeth have never looked so good either!

A dentist with a difference! Rather than waiting for your dental problems to become serious or actually arise (dental emergency), steps are taken to address them. Prevention has to be better than the alternative. Your first meeting with Dr Rick is all about taking photos and x-rays of your teeth, and then talking through what he sees, followed by how you can fix the problems. For me, some of the fixes were optional and others were about fixing them before I ended up in the chair needing extensive work. Whilst it is your decision as to how to go forward with the information, this is a two way street. Dr Rick can address the problems he finds, but you need to be willing to go ahead and follow the advice he provides you. Finally, you cannot fault the rest of the team. Melinda, who greets you when you walk in and always has time to talk through questions with you over the phone or in person, and the patient care team who look after you whilst you are in the chair. Thank you for taking such good care of me and for being so honest about my dental care needs.

Response from the owner 2 years agoHi Tania. Thank you so much for the detailed and honest review. I love that you have also pointed out that it is as much up to you, as the patient, to accept and trust the diagnosis as it is for us to get it right once you have entrusted us to carry out the dental work. We appreciate that you, like all our patients, have chosen to invest in your long term dental health, rather than just try to minimise your expense on dental treatment. We are sure that the investment will pay you back many fold over your lifetime and hope your review can help others to see the value in this approach.

As a kid, I always hated visiting the dentist each year. I have vivid memories of anxiously waiting in reception fearing the worst. Of course, these fears carried on into adulthood! Which was true until I found Oasis Dental! After experiencing some tooth pain, I booked an appointment with Oasis. It was immediately clear to me that Dr Rick was exceptional from all other dentists I've seen before. He clearly explained my issue and used photographic evidence to explain the problem to me personally. It turned out I had a very small crack and needed a crown. I was TERRIFIED. However, Dr Rick was so patient with me throughout the entire procedure to ensure I was comfortable and reassured. I experienced absolutely zero pain throughout the procedure. Since then, I have been back for a few fillings/fissure sealants, and each time I feel notably more comfortable. I now visit Oasis every 6 months for a hygienist appointment, and barely even have to see Dr Rick any more because my dental health is excellent!! Amazing team, reception included. Wouldn't even consider trying another Dental practice. 6/5 stars!

Response from the owner 3 years agoHi Hayley, Thanks so much for the awesome 6/5 review! We are always happy to hear that what we have done for our patients means they don't have to rack up continual expenses with their teeth. Next level dentistry for next level results!

I have never been to a dental practice that pays so much attention to detail and really strives to both educate and provide individualised service. Dr Rick and his team spent a lot of time trying to understand what the real problem was and were able to resolve it. Aside from their expertise and care this is a relaxing space to visit and it feels like they have understood how difficult it can be to visit a dentist so they have paid attention to detail in creating as peaceful an environment as possible. Reception staff are welcoming and patient. I actually look forward to checkups. Thanks to the whole team.

Response from the owner 2 years agoHI Samantha, We always look forwards to your visits too and are really happy that you have trusted us to help keep your mouth healthy. There is no denying that dental treatment is not fun, however the devil is in the detail, which is why we pay so much attention to this. If a dentist gets it wrong the implications affect the patient forever and we are very cognizant of this. Whilst we strive for a perfect outcome for all our patients, whatever we can do to make the process easier is also part of the remit of our team. Thanks for the review.

I have been going here for ten years and have always loved the facilities, the staff, the service options and the experience. Attention to detail is fantastic and their customer engagement is thorough and informed. A strong focus on preventative dental so you save money in the long run.

Response from the owner 2 years agoThanks Gillian. The devil is in the detail as they say! and early intervention/prevention is always better than the cure.

Oasis Dental provides an excellent standard of care, taking the time to provide detailed information and a clear long-term treatment plan to stabilise dental health. I recently started attending this practice after years of fillings each time I visited a dentist and worsening outcomes, and only wish I’d found this excellent team sooner! Melinda on reception has fit me in at short notice, called to check up after my first crown, and always makes sure I have all the information I need after appointments. Dr Rick initially spent an hour with me to discuss my dental history, diagnose the problems I was having, and provide information about treatment options. He and Tash have since worked together seamlessly in two longer appointments to fix various issues, and each time the attention to detail during the appointment, and the clinical result has far exceeded my expectations.

Response from the owner 3 years agoHi Hazel, Thanks for the great review and especially that you focused on the clinical outcomes that we stress are the only real reason to choose a dentist. It is easier to be nice than to consistently achieve the best possible clinical outcome. As you know we position ourselves as a practice that will always deliver the outcome as promised and to be honest we can only do this when patients such as yourself are able to see the value of this rather than just the surface deep "niceties" on offer elsewhere.

Oasis is everything you want in a dentist practice- extremely skilled, and every one who works there is very friendly and caring. I have dental phobia, and they were so accommodating. Dr Rick is very very good - and he goes the extra mile to make sure everything is to a high standard. I’m so pleased I found them and would recommend them to anyone.
Clinic response ():
Response from the owner 3 years agoHi Freya. Thanks for the great review and I too am looking forwards to the photos of your mouth after we have fixed everything. Thanks also for seeing the value in investing in dental treatment that actually fixes your problems rather than just the cheapest.

I’ve been going to Oasis for about two years and every time it’s such a lovely experience. Everyone is so warm, personable and competent. I was feeling a little nervous leading up to a longer treatment I was having but it was such a relaxed atmosphere that in the end it was a really nice experience.

Response from the owner 3 years agoHi Kim, thanks heaps for the review and we are glad that we were able to help you relax even though what we did would be considered almost impossible at other dental practices.

Rick and the team at Oasis have done an amazing job on my teeth, wouldn't go anywhere else! So caring and gentle.
Clinic response ():
Response from the owner 3 years agoHi Sampson, It is always good to find young people that still place enough value on the end outcome rather than cheap quick fixes, as I always tell you, you are one of the precious few that do and we are honoured to be able to deliver the best outcomes because you let us..

Dr Rik is an exceptional dentist. I have been a patient with Oasis Dental for several years and in that time Dr Rik has restored both my smile and oral health. Dr Rik combines the principles of preventative and restorative dentistry that enable his patients to maintain lifelong healthy and beautiful teeth. For me this has meant replacing old, poor quality fillings, crowns and veneers (that were actually damaging my teeth) with precision-fitted porcelain solutions. I couldn't recommend Dr Rik more highly. He is committed to giving every one of his patients the best outcome. He is a great listener and will discuss with you every option available before undertaking any procedure. You'll be in great hands.
Clinic response ():
Response from the owner 3 years agoHi Debra, Thanks for the lovely review and specifically the details you have conveyed. It means so much when our patients can help articulate that the best outcome is the most important goal in dental treatment, and that poorly performed dental treatment actually cause more damage than they fix..
