I would not hesitate to recommend the services of Dr May to anyone who may be looking for a really good Dentist.I had a crown inserted in one of my molars and it fits perfect! The procedure to have it fitted was seamless and top class. Prep work for the crown on my molar took some 90 minutes. With the right dose of anesthetic, I felt no pain. Dr May ran through the procedures and ensured that I was comfortable throughout the process. A temporary crown was fitted and it took them less than 10 days to get the actual one ready. Fitting the new crown took less than 25 minutes. I am now enjoying my food and feel fantastic!Thanks Dr May and her super professional and friendly staff!read more

I am so glad I found Define Dental to get all my work done! I was too afraid to go to the dentist (it's been over 6 years) but the staff here are so good at what they do. I couldn't not go when I chipped my front tooth! They were the first dentist I called and were so accommodating. I always felt comfortable and each appointment felt like a spa treatment (even when I got my wisdom teeth out). I'm a bit sad I don't have any more work to be done right now but I am happy I've found the #1 dentist on the Gold Coast! I've never been so happy about my smile. Thank you :Dread more

I required some major dental work including implants. I am grateful to Dr. Jabbour for spending time after hours to explain the procedure and course of treatment. He made sure that I understood the various stages involved. Thank you Dr. Jabbour for taking the time to think about me and review my case. I appreciate you for telling me your honest opinion and what you thought was the best option for me. I’m very happy with the result. I trust your judgment (even to let you go ahead without an anaesthetic !) and know that I am in good hands always.read more

Needing an urgent appointment due to a cracked tooth, Dr Bootes was able to see me immediately. Since then I have had a few more appointments for more dental work and I couldn't be happier. Dr Bootes is fantastic, as are all the wonderful and friendly assistants. My children see Dr May and she is also terrific. I highly recommend Dr Bootes, Dr May and all at Define Dental.read more

Saturday morning cracked tooth! Panic' Who will be open on a Saturday. New to the area my children go to Benowa High so it made sense to find a Dentist close to school. Define Dental..First Contact was Emma Exceptional phone manner and genuinely concerned for my well being.Yes' Doctor May can see you today. To good to be true! Emma is first to greet me with with a welcoming smile and equally friendly in person, also my dental assistant as well (Wonder Woman) Multi skilled and purely professional. OMG Dr May is a female dentist with the most calming influence and respectful demeanor. I can not praise highly enough to describe the treatment and professionalism that Dr May gave me. Once a full detailed examination was determined a crown was to be the best option. What needle ! Gentle and precise, Have you ever experienced a wedge in your mouth whilst the dentist works on you? Simply Amazing for fifty years I have whaled out of the dentist chair as if my jaw was dislocated. Then secondly Emma gave me not 1but 2 evacuation suctions when Dr May was drilling. Are you kidding me how much more comfortable was that with out swallowing saliva filled teeth dust . Please experience these simply differences that made my whole dental visit so much more pleasurable. Thank you very much for a truly different and memorable experience. My family will be signing up for dental procedures in the future thanks to Dr May and wonder woman. Genuinely grateful.read more

So haven't been to the dentist in ages because of anxiety issues.Had a tooth pulled today and I cannot recommend Dr Les highly enough. Everything about the whole experience was exactly what I was looking for in a dentist. He made me feel at ease, knew exactly how to handle my anxiety issues and now am not scared as much as I was previously. I felt no pain and was over very quickly. I now feel really confident for the rest of the work that needs to be done.Thanks Dr Les...see you soon.read more

Les and his team are incredible. They went above and beyond to help me out. Shortly after landing in the Gold Coast I soon discovered I left my old dental splint on the plane. Not only did Les and his team squeeze me into an appointment when I realised, they moulded it and fitted it the NEXT DAY to make sure that I would be able to make my flight back to Tokyo. Les and his assistant even stayed back well past closing time making sure that the splint was perfect.. and I mean perfect.. I've had 4 splints made before and this is the slimmest, most comfortable and easiest to use one I've ever had. Oh yeah.. they also gave me a discount! If you ever get the chance to work with Les and his team I highly recommend it!read more

Dr. Les Jabbour has provided me with a level of dental care above and beyond anything that I have previously received. I have been a patient of Define Dental (formerly SPDC) for many years and during the time that Les has looked after myself and my wife, we have been given solutions to dental problems that no other dentist has even suggested and they have been permanent solutions!Most recently I had a troublesome tooth removed and the gum healed within 24 hours. I had been reluctant (and obstinate) about the removal of this tooth and Les had always been most forbearing. Now that it has gone, I realise that it should have been removed a long time ago.Les is, in my opinion, the best dentist in the whole world.read more

I have to say that going to the dentist is something I dread! However Dr Jabbour always makes it as painless (literally) as possible. I have been under his care for many years, but last week I could put off having a crown to one tooth and a restoration to the other no longer, anxiety set in. My treatment completed today I was pleasantly surprised when I was told ‘All done”. I couldn’t be more pleased with the end result. Dr Jabbour continually made sure I was comfortable and was able to sense if I needed a break. He always explains, in as much detail and as often as I need, what is involved and where he’s up to. His dental nurses are extremely competent, professional and pleasant. The front office staff always cheerful, helpful and efficient. If you are looking for a first class dentist, I cannot recommend Define Dental enough.read more

I had to have a tooth removed today. Was I looking forward to it? No!! Was I scared? Yes!!! The tooth and I have been together for 60+ years, so I was not welcoming it’s departure. When I was there Les took one look at me and realised I was fearful of what was about to happen. Les quietly and calmly sat me down and explained why the removal had to be done and what would happen if I didn’t get it removed, till I felt reassured. At the end he said it was still my decision whether to continue or not. Once I agreed the experience was painless and over so quickly I had to ask is he had removed the tooth yet? The concern that Les showed for me absolutely gave me the confidence to make this decision and that everything would be fine. And it was!! Instructions for care afterwards were given to me and have had no problems since. Thank you Les -I admire greatly the excellent teamwork this practice extends to their paitients. I would not hesitate to recommend Define Dental 🦷💕read more
