I had a slight fear of dentists due to some previous bad experiences and hadn't been to one for many years. I chipped a tooth earlier this year and needed to get some work done and thought I would try Ascot Vale Smiles since I passed them on the road every day. My dentist fears have completely disappeared. The service is excellent, the staff are all chatty and friendly and even though it may be months between visits, they remember you and even the little things about your family and work etc. I have been a number of times now to get various issues fixed and have seen two of the dentists in the team and been very pleased with both of them. They constantly explain what they are doing throughout the procedures and are always checking on your comfort. I have no hesitation in recommending them. ~ NEIL S
I wanted to have some work done to change the appearance of my teeth and I knew it was going to be a little expensive so I wanted to get a few quotes from different dentists. I knew as soon as I walked in I was going to be happy, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the place is very clean. Dr Nick made me feel very comfortable and I trusted his opinion and advice on what to do as I was very nervous. I was so surprised when I looked in the mirror once he had finished, I was shocked at what an amazing job he did! I am so happy and would highly recommend going to see Dr Nick if you wanting some dental work done! I was very paranoid about my smile but he fixed that! Thank you!! One very happy customer! ~ N G
After neglecting my dental care for an embarrassingly long time, I took a chance on Ascot Vale Smiles based on their impeccable reviews and Google rating. I am so happy I did! It’s clear that their reputation is well earnt. I’ve had two appointments with them now and was nervous, but found the dentist and dental assistant to be incredibly kind and reassuring, answering all my questions thoroughly and then checking in on me periodically throughout. I was really impressed with the facilities and appreciated how easy everything was made for me. After my initial consultation and clean, I’ve had two fillings and been beyond happy with the results. While dental appointments are never cheap, I really felt like I was paying for a top-quality service and level of care. I would definitely recommend Ascot Vale Smiles to Anton seeking an amazing dentist and positive dental experience! ~ Claudia L
I called this practice last minute for a general dental cleaning and from the get go, the receptionist Cynthia was a delight to deal with. She was the absolute best and helped me secure an appointment for today that I desperately wanted. She was friendly, very helpful and such a pleasure to deal with. She made my whole experience at Ascot Vale Smiles a 5 star experience. The dentist ( I forgot her name) was also a very professional lady who showed me new tricks and gave me some new info on taking care of gums and teeth. She made me feel very welcome and comfortable and did an excellent job with the cleaning. I had been looking for a good dental practice in Melbourne for a while and I am so glad I had this experience today, this is my new dental practice from today!!! Thank you Cynthia for your fabulous vibe and thank you Dr. for the absolute best cleaning :) ~ Sabiena L
Great job Ascot Vale Smiles! A very friendly and attentive group of professionals that make me feel welcome, and always ensure my experience is relaxed. I look forward to visiting every time. I met Dr Nick a few years ago for an urgent dental procedure. He relieved my anxiety very quickly with his confident step-by-step personalised plan that he executed effortlessly using his skilful light touch. Dr Nick is a rare individual who genuinely cares about his clients, and is very perceptive during a procedure to eliminate any discomfort. I have referred family members who also remain impressed with Dr Nick’s service. I highly recommend Ascot Vale Smiles to everyone. ~ manny s
I have started seeing Dr Zainab for some difficult work on my teeth. What a lovely bunch of staff! Dr is very thorough and doesn't rush things, and stops for a short break if she notices I'm getting a little overwhelmed. Although she doesn't rush things, last appointment I thought we were only halfway through, but was surprised when she said everything had already been done! Her assistant is also caring and gentle, and I cannot fault the lovely girl at reception for her efficiency and friendliness. There's a bit of a wait between appointments, but apart from that, I highly recommend this practice. ~ fhaisi
I was very worried to get my teeth fixed as I’ve always been very scared of the dentist. Ascot Vale Smiles was the easiest and friendliest experience I’ve had with my teeth yet. My dentist Melissa was very gentle and made sure I was comfortable. A filling fell out and I called the day after they booked me in straight away to have it fixed and explained that there was a problem with certain bonding agents. The reception staff were absolutely lovely and a pleasure to deal with. I know for a fact I will be coming back for my next appointment as well as my following regular check ups. Highly recommend Ascot Vale Smiles ~ Finn D
My family, including two young children, were clients at Ascot Vale Smiles for a number of years and we have always been happy with their care and advice. We changed dentist due to moving house well out of range Ascot Vale, however I still work locally. I recently suffered a severe toothache at work and needed urgent attention, Dr Zainab made space in her schedule to see me on the same day. I found Dr Zainab to be both very professional and very caring in her approach and the outcome of her intervention provided me with instant and lasting relief. Thank you so much Dr Zainab, your work is very appreciated! ~ Justin D
Must give 5 stars to super dental ascot vale smile 😃 😊 due to my severe toothache, I hoped to make an appointment with the dentist on the same day. When I contacted the Ascot vale smile, I was very appreciated that I could still make an appointment when the the clinic was so busy. And I have to say everything here is perfect. My experience here is also the most comfortable dental experience in my life. The enviroment of clinic is very peaceful and I love it. The reception is very kind and lovely, To my surprise, docter Nick's professional skills made me feel much better after the surgery . Thanks Ascot vale smile. ~ victoria C
I am so incredibly scared of going to the dentist. It’s one of my biggest fears. I picked Ascot Vale Smiles because my partner highly recommended them. I am so happy I went there. They are all very wonderful and caring and made the entire experience really lovely and fun! From the moment I walked in the door it was welcoming and a very friendly environment. It’s hard for me to associate lovely and fun when it comes to the dentist but I genuinely found it a very pleasant experience. Highly recommend for everyone and especially people with a fear of dentists. Dare I say it... I can’t wait to go back to get my teeth cleaned 😊. ~ Julia O
I visit Ascot Vale smiles for third time this morning for an emergency dental attention and I got the best service thnks to Dr Nick helped me one more time to keep a healthy mounth. My first visit was realeated to a big split in my front tooth and after my appiontment I had a look in the mirror noticing how natural my new tooth look even that day I coudnt stop smiling. Third visit was a big crack in my molar that was leading to a very bad pain, now Im happy the pain is not there anymore. I really will come back to Ascot Vale Smiles for future appointments. Gracias / Thanks Dr Nick and Ascot Vale Smiles team ! ~ FRANCISCO R
If I could give Dr Nick and his team 6 stars, believe me I would. I recently completed my braces journey with Dr Nick and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. The amount of attention to detail and care for his craft is second to none. He was incredibly friendly and kept me well informed with every step of the way. It’s a bit bittersweet coming to the end of my braces journey because I really enjoyed coming into the clinic and interacting to the friendly team. I’ll definitely be back for my routine check ups and I cannot thank Dr Nick enough for helping me to achieve my dream smile! ~ Audrey
I have been attending Ascot Vale Smiles since moving to this area 5 years ago and find Dr Nick to be very professional, supportive and caring. He always greets you with a smile and has time to listen and explain the treatment required. Dr Nick performs within your budget and completes the work to your satisfaction. I don't take any anesthetic which goes to show how gentle he is. The Practice is hygienically clean with up to date equipment, as well as, wonderful and friendly staff. I highly recommend this dentist as he assisted my wife to have a beautiful smile....BIG THANK YOU !! ~ Andrew
I've been coming to Ascot Vale Smiles for nearly 5 years and would not consider going elsewhere. The team is lovely and you feel really cared for. Nick was excellent throughout the period I had braces, and continues to be an excellent dentist every time I visit. He always explains exactly what he's going to be doing during your appointment and is very up front if he has any concerns about your teeth or things he wants to keep an eye on in the future. I've never felt more comfortable about going to the dentist. I'd recommend Ascot Vale Smiles to anyone. ~ Sam M
I used to be terrified of going to the dentist and had put off a check up for so long, but after a recommendation from a friend about Ascot Vale Smiles and how great the team were, I decided to make an appointment and am so glad I did! The whole team have been incredible with my care plan - Cynthia at Reception is exceptionally friendly and helpful, and Melissa has been so kind and gentle with the checks in and procedures I've had. I feel very cared for and know that I'm in good hands. Thank you. I really cannot recommend Ascot Vale Smiles enough! ~ Maddy
Very happy with all my visits to Ascot Vale Smiles. I have always had an unreasonable fear of dentists. To the point that before a visit, I have needed a rather large scotch and coke before attending for even minor check-ups (rather unpleasant for early morning appointments). Thanks to Dr Nick and his staff, after 3-4 visits, including a root canal, I no longer need to do this. Dr Nick is very attentive to his patients pain and discomfort. And his friendly manner and conversation goes a long way to putting his patients at ease. Even before entering the surgery, his receptionist is always friendly and welcoming, taking your mind off what is to come (it is dentistry after all). In a strange way I look forward to my visits, something I never thought I would say. Dr Nick knows his trade well and is up on the latest techniques and advice. I highly recommend this surgery. And for all the Simpsons fans out there, you have the rare privilege of saying you're seeing 'Dr Nick'. ~ Keryn M
Getting my braces treatment done here, I love how Dr.Nick went about the whole process with me, he thoroughly explained the possible options and helped me choose what was best for me. Nonetheless, the staff there is extremely professional and at the same time very friendly and help you have a great experience. I can't wait to see the outcome of my treatment. I'm really happy I went with Ascot Vale Smiles for my orthodontic treatment and would highly recommend this place for an amazing and a budget-friendly service. ~ Jyotsna C
The team at Ascot Vale Smiles are beyond professional, they go out of your way to make you feel comfortable! The practice is clean and tidy, the girls are always so polite too. Nick is definitely one of Melbourne’s best dentists and I would never go anywhere else. I no longer fear the dentist chair since I have found Ascot Vale Smiles and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I had no confidence in my smile and hated the look of my teeth, thanks to Nick I can finally smile in photos without any concern! ~ Nena C
I am absolutely thrilled with the results that Dr Nick has achieved for me. From the initial consultation to the end, the process has been seamless and exactly as advised. No surprises along the way! The Team are always very welcoming and warm, especially Cynthia who is a real asset to the business. My results have well exceeded my expectations and I would have no hesitation in recommending Ascot Vale Smiles to anyone who wants to achieve that beautiful smile. Thank you Dr Nick and all of the team! ~ Jane B
I am a local who has been visiting Nick and his team for the last few years after attending much larger and less personable dentists for years. I was fortunate enough to be recommended to Nick by a friend and cannot be more pleased with the initial recommendation and subsequent professional service provided by the team at Ascot Vale Smiles. Not only does their dental work including the use of state of the art equipment help you smile, it is their attention to detail and care which really puts a smile on your face. ~ Tigerocco
Nick and his team are friendly and very professional. Having an inherent fear of the dentist from previous experiences at another clinic has dissipated with the exceptional time and care Nick takes to ease concerns. I am always impressed with the fact that he remembers our previous conversations between each six month appointment. I would highly recommend Nick to my friends and family. I have had a number of dental services provided by him including some aesthetic dental work which I was very happy with. Thank you Ascot Vale Smiles 😃 ~ Ashleigh C
The team at AVS are wonderful. I spent a lot of time here whilst I had lingual braces, with monthly adjustments. Dr Nick is professional and knowledgeable, and I was very happy with his realignment work / cosmetic dentistry. The hygienists/dental assistants at the clinic are high-calibre and the team work seamlessly together. The reception team are very welcoming and friendly, especially Cynthia, with a great booking system and friendly appointment reminders. During covid times their hygiene standards have been exemplary. Highly recommend. ~ Leah S
Three visits in and I’m very grateful I found ascot vale smiles. Nick Tsui is an extraordinary dentist. Arguably the very best I’ve experienced. It’s as if I’m on the starship enterprise receiving dental treatment from a distant future where there is no pain and only bliss. Nick will provide expert advice but is also up for some banter around what course of action to take. He even has a sense of humour. Hard to believe but true. Ascot vale smiles has my unequivocal recommendation. ~ Ron G
I unreservedly recommend Dr Nick for any dental work. I have undergone a range of treatments from a simple check up & clean, to whitening, multiple fillings, bonding and Invisalign, and all have been completed to an excellent standard. After receiving several quotes for Invisalign, I stumbled upon Ascot Vale smiles and found their prices to be very reasonable; it was also clear from my first consultation that Dr Nick is extremely knowledgeable. He was confidently using technology that some of the other places I consulted with had told me they didn't have yet or were just learning how to use. I made my decision immediately after the first consult and felt totally at ease during all my subsequent appointments. Dr Nick was always realistic and honest with me about the results that could be achieved, never oversold or tried to get me to add extra treatments (in fact, I ended up with less bonding work than we'd initially planned), and exemplified professional standards in every way. I absolutely suggest going with Ascot Vale Smiles if you're considering them. ~ Lucy D
