The level of care is excellent

Just had two wisdom teeth taken out today. The level of care is excellent. Their ability to bond, make you feel comfortable, be personable and human is fantastic. I hate the dentist, loathe the idea entirely however today's experience was arguably the best ive ever had. Felt totally comfortable and at ease.

Absolutely amazing service

Absolutely amazing service. Cannot recommend Mike and his team enough. Visited with a severe toothache, had a diagnosis and treatment plan within the first 5-10 mins of being in the chair. Root Canals are daunting both pain wise and price wise, however, I had absolutely zero pain right throughout the procedure.

He’s Got Gold Stars

If someone told me two years ago I’d be seeing a dentist every six weeks I would absolutely cringe. But I’m glad I chose Gentle Dental Lambton Quay for my Invisalign treatment as ALL of the staff and my dentist Dr. Rehua Smallman are just awesome! He’s got gold stars in making you feel welcome, comfortable, and just being an all-round GC.
