Designer Smiles

As a product of the pre-fluoride era in Australia I had most of my molars removed over 50 years ago. There were partial dentures at times over the years but in the end it was easier not to smile. Now I can enjoy smiling for the first time in a long, long time. All thanks to Dr Sarkis Nalbandian, a specialist prosthodontist operating from Designer Smiles in Cremorne.Obviously with my dental history I was not too keen on the idea of visiting a dentist but Dr Sarkis and his team made each visit relatively pleasant. There was obviously some discomfort at times but the pain level was very low overall.To fully rejuvenate my smile took quite a few months although there were long gaps (3 months) when my mouth had to adjust to the new changes before the next stage.Dr Sarkis clearly explained the treatment plan (fully costed, but not cheap) before beginning the process. There were lots of scans and X-rays to make sure that each stage of the process was successful before moving to the next stage, especially ensuring that the multiple implants had grown into my jaw correctly. In the end I had several implants, two crowns and a full set of porcelain veneers - it makes it sound simple but the process was absolutely pain staking to ensure the quality of the finished product.I can happily recommend Dr Sarkis as an excellent practitioner who is meticulous about his work and the final product is brilliant. His team is excellent and made each visit positively pleasant. Thank you.

Dr Sarkis is the maestro of cosmetic dentistry….for years I suffered with 2 slightly darker front teeth due to a childhood accident. I’ve had composite veneers before but nothing compared to the composite veneers Dr Sarkis did……now I feel so confident smiling again……Dr Sarkis I can’t thank you enough…..

Worst dentistry experience. Caused years of pain with clumsy braces and plates, Sarkis does not care about causing his patients pain and then telling them they aren't in pain (?). As an Autistic person I felt unsafe in this business, A second staff member also would refuse to believe I was in pain, if they maybe studied a little harder they would have the education to know Neuro Diverse patients have different pain tolerance and receptors. trash, would never go back - fake being nice to you so you pay $1000 a session

Quite literally the best dentist I’ve been to in a lifetime. Dr Natasha Koelmeyer specifically is just a wonderfully kind and gentle Doctor. Must also mention that the head specialist here is also second to none. Their knowledge (goodness they know their stuff) their approach, their kind and gentle manner - my daughter actually enjoys going to the dentist. They’ve got a really considered patient centric mentality. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, every single person there including the reception staff is a star. Thank you Designer Smiles!

I've been a customer of Designer Smiles for over 20 years and I cannot say enough good things about them! From the moment you walk into the office, you are greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and caring. They use the latest technology and take the time to explain everything. I highly recommend them! 5/5

I felt unsafe as an ASD patient and was lied to, not believed when in pain and touched forcefully by Sarkis. Stay away from this place, they will make any excuse to charge you top dollar. Evil

The whole team at designer smiles was/is a pleasure to work with and always had a warm energy from the moment you walked through the door.My journey to get to this point started 21years ago long before my wife and I found out about Dr Sarkis.Dr Sarkis is a very eccentric and colourful character. A real master of he’s craft.My mouth was a train wreck for various reasons. I lacked confidence and was dealing with a plethora of problems and I knew it was going to take more than the average dentist to rectify it. My wife stumbled across a YouTube video of Dr Sarkis and told me he is a cosmetic dentist and we thought he looked like man for the job.It was a process taking a little over a year and now I have a better smile than I could ever have imagined.Would highly recommend their services.

My journey with Dr Sarkis began about 10 years ago. I did not realise that I had lacked self confidence and shone away from my true smile". Dr Sarkis was honest

I was genetically missing many adult teeth. From circa 2000-2017 I had braces twice, two dental implants and many crowns and bridges to get by. The work was carried out by a number of other dentists, all helping me through my journey; all dentists of which I cannot thank enough.At 32 years of age, I knew that it was time to get a lasting result and found Dr Sakis. I knew that I was a complicated case and therefore I had seen a number of dentists to seek differing opinions, prior to opting for Dr Sakis.The reason why I chose Dr Sakis is that I felt an immediate sense of care and interest in me and the case that he had at hand. He spent the time to get to know me as a person and took specific interest in the result I wanted. Additionally, his staff were equally as interested, all caring and warm, which reassured my in my decision to go ahead with the team.I received a friendship from the team, together with an incredible smile; a smile of which I would never have imagined. In summary, the smile was a result of baby tooth extraction, two dental implants (with bone grafting), temporary bridges, another two dental implants, crowns, and a lot of work in between.Dr Sakis, in summary, is a very eccentric and very talented dentist. In my experience, he has treated has staff and myself as friends/family. He prefers to take time to get things right, and personally, after over 20 years of getting by with what I had, I was willing and patient to get things done correctly. I honestly cannot thank Dr Sakis and his team enough. They’re awesome!
