What Other's are Saying

Such amazing staff, super friendly and actually care about YOU. I am so so happy to have found a dentist that will help me achieve my treatment in affordable payments. For once I actually look forward to going to the dentist. Thank you so much, 10/10 would highly recommend.

Sarah Benny

Have never enjoyed going to a dentist. Finally visited after having multiple problems with my wisdom teeth, it was decided that I should have them all taken out. I was worried at first as I wasn't going under sedation but Chamil and his team were very caring and made me feel very comfortable. My partner and I would highly recommend Sydenham dental and we thank them for all their great work! They are reasonably priced and we will defiantly be back if we need any future dental care.

Jess Preddey

Chamil is absolutely amazing. I hate going to the dentist usually but he made it such a painless, easy and pleasant experience. Finally a dentist I know I am comfortable coming back to! Highly recommend 10/10.

Cindy Allen

I have been going since the business started and are very pleased with the service. I have had a number of very successful root canals and would have lost the teeth if it had not been for there expertise.
