I regularly attend Dr Richard Mumford's surgery for check ups every six months. His work is excellent and I've never had a problem. My best experience was when he replaced a crown on a front tooth a couple of years ago and it is the best one I've ever had - three previous crowns on this tooth. It feels exactly the same as a real tooth, which is rare. In the past, I've had to attend different people to get a crown made, and fitted, so this experience was a great relief, as it was all done by one person. The crown was gold with porcelain, made in Australia, not a cheapo from anywhere else in our region. His rates are lower than the norm, and this is a plus for me, as a retiree. His surgery is very central, being in Archer Street, Chatswood...and let's face it, you can't go past a man with a sense of humour.

Approximate cost: $1400
