About Smiles is a dental practice based in Zetland and one of five Sydney clinics in its group. Customers often say the team explains each step before treatment starts, and it sees adults and children, including anxious patients.
Nervous patients
Customers who feel anxious at the dentist say the team made them feel calm and reassured from the start. One customer said the dentist kept checking they were comfortable, and another said they were no longer dreading their next visit. The practice describes gentle, unhurried care, explaining steps in advance and showing children the tools first. Where a child needs more support, options can be discussed after an assessment.
