The doctors at Torrensville Dental were amazing!
I had an emergency where I was in a lot of pain, during the covid lockdowns, and they were still able to see me the same day. They fixed the problem, and have set me up with a preventitive plan for the future.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

I was worried that it was going to be bad after not being to the dentist for a few years, but I was well assured and the plan to move forward was laid out very clearly for me. I walked out feeling much more relieved than I thought I would. Great service.
