I am one of those people who have had poor dental health and habits pretty much every year of my life since I’ve had teeth, and I’ve always been terrified and embarrassed at the prospect of having any type of dental work or cleaning done, to the point where sometimes I thought I’d rather just have all my teeth fall out than visit a dentist. But after having avoided dentists and hygienists for the past 7 years, I decided it was finally time to play some catchup and try to get on top of things, and I feel really blessed to have found Dr Darryl and his lovely team. (I found this place by googling pain-free judgement-free dentists in my area and reading all the reviews, which is also why I’m writing this review now in the hopes that it might help others in a similar situation). I have been going to Today’s Dentistry for 5 appointments now in the past 2 months, and I have to say that this place is like a sanctuary, and I surprisingly find myself looking forward to coming here. Rather than it being the most stressful part of my day, it is now a relaxing break from work. You can really feel that Dr Darryl and his team have put every effort into making the space feel welcoming and safe. Everyone is always so friendly, and frequently offering amenities to make me more comfortable. There is also a very wholesome atmosphere in the team, in the way that the staff treat each other with respect and friendliness. The staff here seem relaxed and genuinely happy to be here, which helps set the tone of the place and makes me feel good to be here too. As for the dental work itself, it certainly has been the most painless and comfortable sessions that I’ve ever experienced in a dentist’s office. Dr Darryl has a relaxed, humorous manner which really puts me at ease. I quite enjoy listening to him talk about teeth and about his children. He seems to have both a great interest and fondness for the technical aspects of his profession, as well as a genuine compassion for his patients and desire to help them overcome their dentistry fears. During each exam and session I’ve had, Dr Darryl took the time to explain everything in detail, allowing me time and space to ask questions, and was very sensitive to my needs before, during, and after the dental work, making sure that I felt taken care of and not just my teeth. I also enjoyed listening to his occasional commentary about teeth and dentistry topics as he worked! The sessions I had with Carlene the hygienist have also been surprisingly pleasant! Truth be told, I think I have a greater fear of dental hygienists than of dentists, but Carlene was so patient, skilled, and non-judgmental even as she worked hard to help remove 7 years of buildup. My teeth and gums look and feel so much better now — thank you! She also took time to help me improve my cleaning technique and recommend some products. Lastly I wanted to mention that the dental assistant (my sincere apologies as I have forgotten her name) I had during my most recent session was so kind and comforting. At one point she placed a hand on my shoulder and it was such a simple but reassuring gesture. Little things like this really make a difference — thank you! I’m hoping to see Dr Darryl and his team for a long time. It is very uplifting to learn that dental work does not need to be accompanied by pain and dread, and that taking ownership of my dental health is possible, even after many years of “setback”. Thank you Dr Darryl and team for creating this kind of opportunity for myself and others!
I have been seeing Dr David and occasionally Dr Darryl for 16 or so years. I have transitioned from a frightened and often trembling patient to one who happily goes to the dentist every six months without fear. They and the Dental Hygienists and the rest of the team run an amazing practice. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
The staff their are awesome and they are so caring for young people. Also the receptionists are very welcoming and kind
I have been visiting Today's Dentistry Chermside for a year and a half now and every interaction I've had has been outstanding. I have had; consultations, Invisalign treatment, fillings, cleans and whitening through Today's Dentistry and it's been amazing, you will not find a better team. Dr David is incredible, he has ensured I received the best outcome for my teeth and health every time - always ensuring I make informed decisions. Monica and Sonya are super helpful, friendly and welcoming. They are always going above and beyond, in person, via email and over the phone. Carlene is skilled, kind and patient. Sonya is a brilliant dental assistant, every appointment was fun and you can tell there is genuine care for your well being when dealing with her. The entire team have been a pleasure to deal with on all fronts and have restored my faith in dental visits. Thank you to the entire team at today's dentistry!
I have recently just had Dental Implants installed after having the old fashioned standard dentures for 5 years..... and I would just like to say that I highly recommend Today's Dentistry. David and his team are one of the most professional and friendly I have ever met. The impact it has had on my life is incredible...vegetables like carrots and celery that i would cook for ages so that they were soft ,I can now eat raw...I can bite into a sandwich or apple without fear of teeth becoming dislodged , I can grind meat and food properly instead of swallowing it half chewed, this has allowed my body to digest food completely and metabolize better resulting in better health and well being, the benefits from this are many.I have complete confidence now with smiling,talking, eating, kissing and my life has begun to change already.Once they were settled in I hardly knew i was wearing them..sometimes I have gone to bed and forgot I was wearing them. I would also like to thank Sonya and Monica for going out of their way and being so friendly and helpful and caring as well as being very skilled. Barry Lindsay
