"A huge thank you to the entire team! From the moment I walked in, the reception staff were so helpful and welcoming. I was very anxious, but the dentist ,Dr Robin Sejwal and his assistant were so patient with me. The extraction was so smooth that it was over before I even realized it had happened. I am healing beautifully and couldnโ€™t have asked for a better experience. Five stars!"

Booked for a clean and exam then they wanted me to rebook 350 per session rebooked elsewhere 200

Clinic response ():

Response from the owner a month agoThank you for your feedback. At your appointment, our clinician recommended treatment based on your gum health, rather than a standard cleaning. This was explained at the time, including the associated cost, so that you could make an informed decision. We understand fees vary between practices and wish you all the best with your ongoing care.

I go to Leanne at Synergy Dental every 6 months for a dental hygienist visit and love her gentle and friendly approach. (I would never go anywhere else tbf!) This time we talked about if I wanted to try the new EMS system- imagine gentle water blasting your teeth - and this was a revelation. So fast, painless and my teeth feel super smooth and clean. Highly recommended!

Have neglected my oral health since I left school almost 20 years ago. Had a broken tooth that started to get very sore. I was in a lot of pain and had to take time off work so called around different dentists in a rush. Synergy got me an urgent appointment straight away. The staff were friendly, helpful, and understanding. I was pretty nervous and let them know - I was listened to and given options to help distract me and make my visit less anxiety provoking. I've already rebooked for a follow up appointment, believe it or not I'm actually looking forward to it. I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Will be recommending to all my friends and family. Thank you to the synergy team.

As a sufferer of really sensitive teeth - the thought of having hygienist plaque clean was โ€˜was never going to be a happening thing โ€˜ - ๐Ÿ˜ณ BUT - John told me about their new toy on Saturday - EMS system . So in Monday 8am for plaque clean. It works with warm water - so the sensitivity itโ€™s almost none existent . In fact the water sucker is louder than the plaque drill. Leanne was amazing & gentle .. 3/4 hr later - omg my teeth look fantastic - still abit more to do ( due to my years of neglect ๐Ÿฅบ) BUT for anyone whom suffers from dental plaque removal phobia and will avoid at all cost WELL .. This is a game changer .. canโ€™t recommend it enough .. Best decision ever John to get this system .. ๐Ÿ‘ (Read some of the other reviews Iโ€™m not alone in recommending this procedure) ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Response from the owner 3 months agoThank you for your wonderful feedback! It's great to know how much it has helped alleviate your sensitivity during the cleaning process.

Been a client here for over a year now. I used to be phobic of the dentist and need medication to get through an appointment but with the amazing team here I've been able to push through and actually enjoy hygiene and other appointments. Receptionist is super! She even remembers things about me and makes me feel welcome. I travel all the way down from Wellington just to get a clean sometimes ๐Ÿ˜… worth it
