Reviews of Sydenham Dental Centre

I was visiting the area when I needed an emergency appointment due to severe toothache. I was thankfully able to get into see Sydenham Dental Centre's Principal Dentist during the recent holiday period. I was a very nervous patient, but he was great and so was his assistant that day. I can honestly say it was one of the best visits I've ever experienced going to a dentist, and I felt no pain. I'm very grateful and thankful for the amazing customer service and support that day, thank you so much!!!

If I could give 1000 stars to Chamil and his awesome team at Sydenham dental I would! After avoiding going to the dentist due to being so fearful of what my wisdom teeth extraction would entail, I feel so silly. The procedure was so quick, painless and I was excited to go back the following week to show how well everything has healed!!! Thank you for the best experience I have ever had at the dentist! If you are the slightest bit anxious I would strongly recommend going here.

Absolutely fantastic service, friendly staff make you feel safe and valued. They take their time with each patient to give them what they need instead of asking them to return at a later date. Highly recommend. Cheap dentist for those with lower incomes.

Had my fillings, root canal, crown and wisdom teeth extraction with Dr Chamil. He’s professional and helpful. Every time he explained to me what the problem of my teeth was and advised me possible solutions which I could decide from by myself. The price is reasonable and they even have payment plans. A big out to the whole team and especially Dr Chamil!

Chamil is a 10/10 dentist who provided clear information prior to the surgery and made sure the teeth were extracted quickly and painlessly even though the orientation and position of my wisdom teeth made it difficult to extract. Friendly and professional. Will continue to attend this practice for any dental needs in the future. Thank you!

Recently had had a oral surgery done at Sydenham Dental. Ver happy with the procedure. Cost was very reasonable and very happy, pleasant staff. Highly recommend.

I visited Sydenham Dental centre last week and the service provided was way above my expectations. I had an appointment for a root canal treatment booked in with Dr. Chamil Samaranayake and he was very informative and kind the whole time. He explained every process of the root canal treatment and checked up on me every step of the way. The staff at Sydenham Dental centre were supportive and I was taken in on time to the appointment. Thank you very much for your service ! I highly recommend Sydenham Dental centre for anyone who needs any dental treatments !

I've been having problems with my teeth for the past 3 years. I've been going to my usual dentist but nothing seemed to do any good. After the 2nd lock down I visited Sydenham dental. The staff was absolutely amazing. They were friendly and very supportive. I got 2 x-rays and a detailed consultation from Chamil. It was a short appointment but he showed me the 2 x-rays on a screen and explained the work that was needed. I ended up getting a full root canal and 2 fillings. One cavity was soo deep that it was almost touching the nerve. However Dr. Chamil was able to detect it just on time and fill it. This would have costed me around $1500 plus in 3 months, but we fixed it with $175. High recommended !!!

Highly recommended! I had my teeth checked and cleaned, great service by Dr. Jeff and oral hygienist Dr. Farida. The prices are reasonable. Statements and recommendations dentists gave me are very helpful and informative. Plus great customer service from receptionist Chelsea, she always smiles, happy to help, very polite and accommodating.

I had all my four wisdom teeth removed by Dr Liying and the team. The process went very smoothly, with as little discomfort as possible. The team are very friendly and professional and I'm stroked to found a dentist I finally trust and enjoy going to.

All staff are lovely, great experience. Liying was fantastic. Will happily come back for my next checkup. Thanks team!

Highly recommended! Dr Chamil and the team at Sydenham Dental Centre are professional, efficient and super friendly. Four wisdom teeth extractions felt like a walk in the park, and the recovery process was very smooth. I felt really well looked after at every stage of the process. A lovely, stress-free experience.

I came here thru a grab one voucher for an exam and xrays but I will be returning because of the service. I had a comprehensive clean booked 6months later and forgot I had to get a filling too, which has always been a very anxious experience for me. Lizzie and her assistant with the wonderful eyebrows (sorry I don't know her name!) were so kind and caring throughout the procedure. And best of all I didn't feel any pain. I'm not sure what the extra discount I received when I went to pay was for but I felt it was very good value. I will make this my regular dentist in future.

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 😊

I had my two impacted wisdom teeth removed on 1st June and because due to its anatomy , Dr. Chamil had explained the risks of temporary to permanent numbness, I was so anxious! Dr. Chamil and his staff were very professional and highly skilled. They made the procedure very smooth. Two weeks after the surgery, I didn’t feel any numbness despite having the risk of damaging the nerve. I would definitely recommend the team!

I got some fillings from Chamil and Darcie today and the worst part of the whole thing was trying not to giggle throughout the procedure. I would go back in everyday just for the great company. The two of them and the rest of the team are absolutely lovely and made me feel welcome and well looked after from start to finish. Beside that, the procedure was stress- and pain free and turned out to be quite educational. If you're looking for a great dentist, look no further. I certainly won't go anywhere else ever again. Thank you very much Sydenham Dental Centre, you're fantastic ♥️

I hadn't been to a dentist in years. The team were easy to deal from a checkup and xrays, professional and gave me up to date information, I ended up having 2 partial dentures after having teeth pulled. They taking a bit of getting use to but looking forward to getting the stainless dentures after Christmas.

I've been absolutely blown away by the professional care I've received from Chamil and his team! I would HIGHLY recommend them for anyone needing dental work - especially if you're normally nervous when seeing a dentist. Over the course of 9 months I've had two wisdom teeth removed, a root canal, and several fillings done. Chamil is wonderful - he goes above and beyond to make you feel at ease and comfortable. He frequently checked in on how I was doing pain wise - especially throughout the more intense procedures. My wisdom teeth were fairly complex so took a while; I was given another numbing injection at the first sign of pain. I received a follow up phone call that same evening to check how I was doing and to make sure I didn't have any issues. When the stiches started causing me discomfort I was offered an immediate appointment to have them sorted out. When getting fillings, I was told to call if any of them were uncomfortable/rough/sitting too high etc, as they can fit you in urgently to fix them. The reception team are friendly and welcoming, making you feel at ease from the moment you walk in. The dental assistants are gentle and careful. On top of all of this, they offer affordable prices and payment plans if needed. I cannot recommend this amazing dental team highly enough!

They were so kind and did a great job with a consultation and ultimately removing my wisdom teeth. I had almost no pain after getting them removed which is incredible. Highly recommend them.

Caring, careful and focused on preventive dentistry rather than reactive dentistry - I found the team @ Sydenham Dental awesome! I had two filling done and a wisdom extraction in one sitting from Locum Dentist Ian Hamilton. Such a lovely dentist and the team were amazing!

Had my teeth clean up with hygienist Dr. Farida. Amazing service as you expect from professionals. A bit expensive but its worth paying for your teeth hygiene (if you don't wanna loose your tooth early)

Best Dentist ever. He is very calm and informative and knowledgeable. Took X-rays and explained not only the existing issues but possible future problems too. Best price and service in town!!!

I have had a great experience with the dental since I first visited. I've had two fillings put in and three teeth removed. The staff were aware of the mental health issues I have and all were extremely kind. I cannot recommend them enough. (29/32. I would rate 32/32 but they removed three. I would give them a plaque but they don't like them.)

Great experience after avoiding getting 2 wisdom teeth out for 3 years. Finally decided to get it done and chose Sydenham Dental due to these good reviews and reasonable pricing. Chamil was thorough and careful, and I had no pain, during or after (took painkillers for 3 days then was fine), despite needing stitches. Healed within 2 weeks and wasn't a big deal. Would really recommend for anyone who is very nervous about dental treatment. I listened to music during, which really helped too. Had I realised how easy and painless he made it, I would have gone much earlier!

It was my very first time to visit a dentist in New Zealand. I was told that dental cost is too expensive in here. However, finally I decided to visit a dentist to do cleaning and a check up including a X-Ray. I was in the clinic on time. Within less than 5 min of waiting, nurse took me to the room and introduced me to the Dentist. It was Dr.Chamil who done the X-ray, Checkup and the cleaning treatment. He was super friendly, kind and done a fantastic job. Whole treatment and the checkup only took less than 45min. No pain or whatsoever, very affordable and worth every penny. Learnt lot about my teeth and some advises from the doctor. Definitely going back again and already made this place my dental clinic. Overall Very friendly, kind and inexpensive service. An exceptional job by Dr Chamil and the staff. Thank you team.

I had to get four wisdom teeth pulled which I was very anxious about. Chamil and his team made the whole procedure so comfortable and easy. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The whole experience from the consultation to the follow up appointments and the procedure itself was highly professional. Getting your wisdom teeth removed does not have to be scary! Thank you Chamil.

After not going to the dentist for many years due to cost and fear, I have found Sydenham Dental Centre to be affordable and amazing!! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars, truly the best dental experience I've ever had.

Highly recommend Liying at this dental center. She has done a number of operations for me and is the best I have come across. Very professional. Quick n easy. She has done an amazing job. Absolutely happy with her service 🙌👍🦷

Visited today for the first time and will be using Sydenham Dental Centre in the future. Haritha was my dentist and did a perfect job fixing my broken tooth. Very nervous patient and Haritha and her assistant did an amazing job putting me at ease. An entirely painless experience and very pleased with the result. Very reasonably priced too!

Big ups to the team. I messaged owner Chamil as per website as a sat. He called straight back and arranged for his dentist to see me to do a temporary fix til i could see my own dentist. I highly recommend these guys.Thanks to Nathan dentist and his lovely assistant.

I have found Peter and his team at Sydenham dental to be caring and helpful. They always give me my options for treatment and help me make the best decision for my dental care. His hygienists Amy and Vicky are really caring and gentle and keep me nice and healthy and tell me how I can improve my cleaning regimen at home to get the optimum results. They don't ask me to do anything that they don't do themselves. So if you are looking for a friendly and experienced team these are the guys to go to. I can't recommend them enough. Keep up the good work!

I very recently had all my teeth out in preparation for immediate dentures. Chamil and the team at Sydenham Dental are the best. Great communication, Chamil explained everything about the procedure and aftercare and was great throughout the process which was very nerve racking to me. I appreciated the care and attention provided and also the follow up care. Thank you so much team

I purchased a voucher as I just lost a filling. This was truly one of the most satisfying customer service experiences I have ever had. The team here are very professional but relaxed and couldn't do enough to look after me. Even suggesting revisiting an old ACC claim that allowed me to fix a visual issue on a front capped tooth at minimal cost. The change was amazing and my previous dentist had never mentioned this option. The filling replacement was of a very high standard but overall I felt I couldn't have chosen a better dentist. Plus the cost was far less than I have paid before. Great work to the team. I have already referred several of my friends and couldn't rate them highly enough.

Highly recommended. Chamil was a great dentist, explained everything before carrying out any treatment and he was happy to answer any questions. Hardly felt anything and had no issues afterwards. Very reasonable prices compared to other places. Hard to find a good, caring dentist like this these days.

My husband used Sydenham Dental for a full extraction in preparation for full immediate dentures. My husband has had a fear of dental surgeries for a while now since waking during a past procedure (with a different dentist). He was very nervous to get this procedure done for this reason but Chamil and the team have made this so easy. Chamil is fantastic at explaining the procedure in a way that makes it easy to understand and know what to expect. Chamil is extremely knowledgeable and one of the most helpful dentists we have come across. He lets you know that you are in charge and he will stop as soon as your feel any discomfort and helps with the discomfort before re-starting. I fully recommend this dental practice. A++.

Highly recommend Sydenham Dental Centre for both dental and hygienist appointments. Peter is an outstanding dentist - whether it's for a checkup, root canal or a chipped tooth. Been going to him for many years and always been super impressed at both his skill and manner. The other staff are awesome too - always do their best to fit you in if not a routine issue and very friendly.

Nothing but a good experience here. Had to have Root Canal Treatment after a netball accident and the dentist was very reassuring and explained the procedure thoroughly. Being a front tooth I was so nervous but would recommend Sydenham Dental for any nervous patients like me. 😊

Highly recommend Sydenham Dental Centre. Friendly service. And affordable. I had been to them for a root canal procedure and Chamil had done a wonderful job. Overall experience 10/10.

Sydenham Dental have been my dentist for the following 8 years. Peter and the team run an excellent dental practise - always friendly and accommodating. Peter is highly experienced and very competent. His pricing is always fair. Strongly recommend Sydenham Dental. Keep Smiling.

I would highly recommend Dr Chamil. Being someone who has a fear of the dentist I was reluctant to get a much needed checkup after 6 years of putting it off! Dr Chamil was great at explaining every step of the process and making sure I was relaxed and comfortable before proceeding. Needless to say my anxiety was unwarranted and I will be sure to pay regular visits to this company. Highly recommend to all

I am a 59 year old semi-retired engineer. I have had significant dental health problems through the years, and have been treated by various dental health professionals over the years here in Christchurch. Of them all I would rank the staff at Sydenham Dental Centre, and Senior Dentist Peter Pallet in particular the best of all. Courteous, obliging and above all completely professional, always willing to discuss treatment options and caring in all pain management issues. Although perhaps not the cheapest, they certainly are not the most expensive. And some years ago when I was a bit short of funds Peter detected this, and without actually saying so gave me something of a discount for the urgently needed treatment, and granted me a monthly plan of payment. And most recently I was able to talk Peter into attempting a root canal treatment ( a specialty of his) that he was initially reluctant to do because of its obvious difficulty. And he was able to do it completely well, and to my satisfaction. So all in all the best dental treatment centre I have tried. Mike Jasper, B.E (Mech) Canterbury

I had some work done here over the last two years. I am very pleased with the work and prices are very reasonable. Also staff is very friendly and easy to book/re-book appointments.

Excellent service. Went here today, first visit to a dentist in 10 years... (I know, pretty bad), and had a broken tooth removed. Mouth has been sore for weeks. I was in for less than half an hour, some small-talk to relax my nerves, given anesthetic, and tooth removed in that time. The dentist and assistant made me feel very calm and relaxed and assured me that it's never too late. I'm a typical tradie, lots of cuts, bruises and scars, never worried too much about health, and love a cold beer, but they helped me feel relaxed and comfortable, and give me some fresh hope. If you're nervous about visiting a dentist because it's been awhile, then go here, no need to live in pain or discomfort when a dentist can sort it in less than half an hour. Excellent dentists!

Had my wisdom teeth removed by Dr Chamil a couple of weeks ago. Exceptional service and the dentist did a great job :) Would highly recommend!

Absolutely flawless. It was my second visit at Sydenham dentist today and I cannot be more satisfied. I am probably worst person ever in dentists chair (strong gag reflex,etc.) but have to say Dr. Wei Ping is amazing, patient, nice, professional and understanding. You will like this place even if you're scared of dentists like I am.

I visited this week for a full dental check up and hygiene appointment. I had such a great experience and could not recommend Dr Haritha enough. Thank you for the kind and affordable service, I will definitely be back.

Peter has been my dentist for years, my first visit was two root canals (this was after several years of not seeing any dentist). Now years later the root canals are still in place without any issues and I visit Peter yearly. Peter set me up with the hygienist at the Dental Centre which has proven to also be a top notch service. Thanks team.

I would highly recommend Dr Haritha Coimbatore, she was kind, thoughtful, gentle and did a fantastic job of my teeth. And not a rip off! Best dentist I have been to, thank you Haritha!

Overall good experience! Suprisingly quick and pain free

Awesome dentist and always goes the extra mile. I’ve had a lot of dentists in my life and Pete is No 1 in my book. Awesome skill and expertise as well as a caring and considerate manner.

Great service and people! Had a really pleasant experience getting 3 wisdom teeth out. Thanks 😊

Excellent friendly service, highly recommend, Best dentist in Christchurch! Fast and painless! 10/10

I purchased a voucher for my initial consultation and treatment. I have found Peter and the team awesome to deal with. I highly recommend this dentist.

Excellent dentist and staff. Very helpful, friendly and fit you in urgently when in chronic pain. Definitely recommend.

Prompt appointment when I chipped tooth. Nothing was a problem for them. Tooth refilled without fuss and the result is very comfortable.

I had an appointment with Dr Lucky, she is lovely, calm and very professional. The price is very good and I believe that an appointment there really worths.

It was very easy to get everything done with in couple of appointments. Chamil was very good as he explained everything to me without rushing . Amazing service!!!

Would highly reccomend these guys we were made very welcome. I love how down to earth the staff were. And they treated my son with gentle compassion and care. Thankyou
