Always use Cross Road Dental. Great front desk staff, Dentists, professional, keep you in touch with dental health and any future problems. Lovely atmosphere.

Let's get this clear from the very start ... I am NOT a fan of going to the dentist. Never have been and never will be. I've been going to the same dentist at Glenelg for over 30 years, but a change in circumstances for me meant I had to find someone closer to me, who didn't charge such an enormous gap payment. A friend recommended Cross Road Surgery, and I checked with my Health Fund, and it's one of their "preferred Dentists", so I knew the gap payment would be minimal.

I put off making an appointment for a check-up, but two broken fillings in a week meant I had to see a dentist quickly. I was able to get an appointment in 2 days, which was great.

The surgery is easy to find on Cross Road, and parking nearby is a breeze. Inside, it didn't have that distinctive "Yuk-I'm-at-the-dentist" smell that can be so off-putting, the waiting room was bright and modern, and the receptionists were very friendly.

My name was called and I went in with some trepidation, clutching my Walkman music player, ready for it to drown out the sound of the drill. Dr Laura Siebels, my dentist, was lovely, and put me at my ease immediately. I said I was a sook, a "born-again" coward, and allergic to pain, which considering my age is quite sad. She laughed and said she didn't know anyone who liked going to the dentist, but she promised to be gentle with me.

And off we went, me with Jimmy Barnes blaring in my ears, and Laura and her assistant taking care of what needed to be done to my teeth. She was as gentle as she had promised to be, explaining things as she went along, and before I knew it, she'd finished. I couldn't believe that, for the first time ever, I didn't have sore fingers from the "white-knuckle" grip I usually inflict on the chair arms.

Now all I need is to go back for a "clean & polish", and I'm seriously not nervous this time. And I know I don't need to take out a personal loan to pay the gap fee. It's reassuring to know that, from now on, my annual dental check-up is in such good hands, and while I'll never look forward to going there, I won't avoid it like I have done for years.

As dentists go, I'd highly recommend Laura if you're looking for someone in the south-western area of Adelaide.

So glad that you have found a good dentist. It does make a world of difference if you can go in with confidence

I have a fear of dentists and Dr Hoimes has a very kind, gentle manner which puts me at my ease. The surgery provides a reminder service before each visit.

Approximate cost: $400
