I can’t thank Dr Kav & his amazing team at Drury Dental enough, the whole team were so caring, reassuring & very professional...
At Drury Dental I truly felt like my best interests were being looked after & highly recommend them if you have dental anxiety...
The whole team are so knowledgeable so any questions or worries I did have were answered in depth before any treatment was started.

Not one to usually provide reviews, but been to a number of dentists in my time and given what I thought was reasonable service.
But from my first visit to Drury Dental I was left blown away, raving about the service and experience I received from Dr Bron Leong and her colleagues!!
Highly recommended 👌 👍
