Tatia2025-10-02 I've had such a great experience with Optimal Dental! Polly is friendly, efficient, and honestly the best dentist I've ever had. I cracked a tooth today and they fit me in straight away and took care of it without any hassle. I felt totally at ease throughout the whole process. I wouldn’t go anywhere else – highly recommend! Jennie Goult2025-09-28 Best dental clinic in Adelaide... By far!! Dr Polly is so kind and considerate and so very gentle (especially with those dressed injections - that I rarely even feel!) Polly's hubby Pete is a fantastic office manager and will bend over backwards to make for a pleasant experience and dealing with any third parties etc. A very welcoming family business! Thanks Polly and Pete Steve Jobson2025-09-21 I have been attending Optimal Dental for over 6 years. Poly is one of the nicest dentist and person I have ever met. She iis so gentle and has done alot of major dental work for me over the years. Pete and all the rest of the staff are so friendly and accomodating. Cant recommend this practice enough. Sharon Rance2025-09-11 Polly is an exceptional dentist; friendly, thorough, kind and provides clear explanations. It’s a wonderful practice! Mariela Kostoglou2025-09-04 I was seen today by Dr Polly Hing as a new patient. I was in a lot of pain and Dr Hing was so empathetic, kind and her reassurance was so good. Felt calm as she explained everything and was so thorough. I was made to feel so welcome by all her team. I walked out smiling and pain free. Highly recommend Polly. And my family will now join me. Thank you Mariela Anthony Lewps2025-09-03 Ok, so I came in recently for a consult because of major pain in one of my teeth - and suspected I needed a root canal. Peter at the front was extremely accomodating and got me in very quickly. Polly, whom I saw was excellent, she explained everything that was happening and of course what was about to happen, and she solved my issue after a couple of treatments. I can't tell you how great the entire team at Optimal Dental are, and how professional, well priced, and thorough they were with me. I knew I was in good hands the minute I walked in. If you're on the market for a great dentist, look no further. Thank you Optimal Dental Care Team! Barbara Frederick2025-09-02 Thankyou to Dr Polly for the wonderful service she gave me for urgent crown replacement prior to my milestone birthday. Alyssa K2025-08-21 Polly Hing is the best dentist I’ve ever been to! My entire family has been seeing her for years. She’s so kind, empathetic and makes you feel welcome. She is always very thorough with her work and talks you through what she’s doing. Couldn’t recommend her enough!! Leanne Kiely2025-08-21 Polly hung is the best dentist I’ve ever had & love the family environment that you get each visit been gong over 10 plus years Talia Kiely2025-08-21 For over 10 years, Polly has been my go-to dentist, and I genuinely look forward to my appointments. She and her team have created such a welcoming and calming environment that any anxiety I used to have about the dentist is completely gone. Polly is not only an expert in her field, but she's also a genuinely kind and caring person. She remembers details about my life and asks how everything is going without fail even with long times between check ups! The team at optimal are all fantastic and accomodating for all your needs, this is especially evident as someone who works full time and struggles to make time for routine maintenance they really are a step above the rest in this! If you want a dentist who is gentle, professional, and treats you like family, you'll be thrilled with Polly and the team!Showing our latest reviews

Frequently Asked Question
The price of a check-up in Sydney will vary from place to place and whether you’re a new or existing patient. We currently have an exciting offer for new patients that includes a comprehensive examination, check-up and teeth cleaning for only $300 (regular price: $486).
Unfortunately, Medicare Australia doesn’t cover the costs of most dental services and most costs have to be paid for by patients. However, there are some exceptions where Medicare will pay for essential dental treatments for certain children and adults who are deemed eligible.
The average cost of a trip to a Sydney dentist is very much dependent on what treatments you’re in need of. Check-ups and teeth cleaning are significantly cheaper than crowns or root canals. Contact your dentist for more information on the particular treatment you’re looking for.
