Utterly disappointed. Wish I stayed away from this place because they are just regular dentists, not specialist periodontists. This means that they can do basic procedures but for more advanced procedures you need to see a specialist. Don’t expect them to tell you this because they don’t want to lose out on a customer. Very greedy and unethical!

Going here ended up costing me a lot of money and what’s worse Dr Stolz almost ruined any chance of me ever getting an implant on my 41 tooth. Had I not found a specialist periodontist I would have had to wear a bridge. If you have thin bones like me, I highly recommend staying away from this practice since they do not specialise in restoration of bone mass (they say they do but they are not qualified to do this). Perhaps they are capable of doing implants for people with thick bone mass. I also found the hygienic practices to be of mediocre standard. It has been over a year and a half since I saw Dr Stolz and I’m still undergoing procedures to restore the state of my bone. Luckily I found an excellent specialist periodontist who doesn’t cut any corners and is highly qualified with this work.

Update: despite Dr Stolz’s pessimism in his reply, the dental implant performed by a qualified periodontist turned out a success. The chance of success for the implant was reduced from an estimated 97% to 70% by the periodontist. The reason for the reduced success estimate? He first had to undo the poor work done by Dr Stolz. Regardless, the implant procedure had succeeded and since I have had other dentists compliment the work done by my periodontist in Melbourne.

Dr Stolz’s claim that he carried out no treatment on me is a blatant lie.

Dr Stolz had removed my 41 tooth and had a poor attempt at a bone graft procedure that should only be performed by a licensed periodontist.

Update #2: Following my initial review, Dr Stolz replied to this Google review, prompting me to add the first update above. He has since taken down his reply. I’m writing this so that people are aware of him doing this, and so that my initial update makes sense when reading.

Update #3: it has been over 10 years since I had my implant and it’s still going strong. Dr Gary Yip in Balwyn saved my smile in the prime of my life. If I could I’d give zero stars to Geelong Dental Centre.

I moved from a Melbourne Dentist to Geelong Dental and Implant and regret I did not have the contact year’s earlier. Highly respectful of my elderly mum, innovative solutions for both of us for our dental issues. Resilient and did not stop until they found solutions that put her at ease as well as myself. I cannot recommend Tim, Andrew and their staff highly enough. All staff there the nurses and reception exude professionalism and care and that combination is rare. I will go nowhere else.

My experiences over the 11 years of attending The Geelong Dental and Implant Center have all been positive.
Not many people enjoy a trip to the Dentist and Initially I was a very nervous patient when I moved from Melbourne.
Beside checkups and occasional fillings, I had some cosmetic work done on a dead tooth which was very successful and can happily report that I am now quite relaxed during appointments because I have confidence in the Dentists.
