 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of getting veneers from Dr Ankur , and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment I walked into the clinic, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere.Dr Ankur  took the time to explain the entire process, addressing all my concerns and ensuring I felt comfortable every step of the way. The quality of the veneers is outstanding; they look incredibly natural and have completely transformed my smile. Ankur’s attention to detail and craftsmanship is truly impressive. I appreciate the personalized care and professionalism he provided throughout the procedure. If you're considering veneers, I highly recommend Ankur . He truly is the best in the business, and I’m thrilled with my new smile!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been going to Braeside Dental since 2022 and have seen Dr Leith, Dr Janice March and Dr Eric March.  They are all excellent and make you feel at ease.  If you need work done like a crown, they discuss all your options and provide a quote. There’s a hygienist, laboratory and dental technicians on site. Most importantly they’re honest and don’t do unnecessary work.  When I go for my 6 monthly checkup, if my teeth don’t need a clean, they say so.  (My last dentist did a clean, scale, polish and fluoride treatment every six months, whether I needed it or not, which was unnecessary and expensive.)
