I have had a fantastic experience using Martin Vale Dentistry, I used to have a phobia when it came to going to the dentist I can happily say that is no longer the case and that is entirely due to the great care I received going to Martin Vale.Luke Vale is the man.

It’s been a year now with Dr Luke looking after my teeth and I feel more comfortable and more confident with every trip. Professional, patient and understanding, he and the entire staff have enabled me to fix some long-term issues that I should have addressed years ago and for that I can't thank them enough.

Lisa from Martin Vale dentistry is phenomenal, kind, gentle, caring and non judgemental she has been amazing with all my children, and makes going to the dentist a fun stress free experience along with every staff member we have come across. We honestly can't thank Lisa and team enough for what they have done for not only our family but also our community.

I have been going to Martin Vale dentistry for a few years now. I recently did Invisalign and am stoked with the results. Luke, Bri and the team provide exceptional service. They are always professional, friendly and down-to-earth, making the experience personal every time. Such a lovely ‘good old fashioned customer service’ feel. I would happily and highly recommend this clinic and its team to anyone.

I took my brother to see Dr Harry today and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The clinic is clean and well organised. My brother is very anxious going to the dentist and Dr Harry was very patient and caring. I highly recommend Martin Vale Dentistry to anyone looking for a professional and caring dental team. I have been seeing Dr Luke for many years and couldn’t be happier.

Our family has been going to Martin Vale Dentistry for years. They are consistently excellent. Lisa is brilliant with kids, as is Luke. We have needle phobics, so we have worked with them for sedation options to get things done. I would recommend anyone who is nervous/anxious/scared of needles to see Lisa or Luke. The staff supporting them are amazing as well.

I've been here twice now and could not be happier with the service and outcome. I saw Harry this last time and he and his nurse score a 10 out of ten for attentiveness and skills. I'm so happy! Look no further than Vale Dentistry for your next appointment.

If you're looking for an EXCELLENT dentist in Bendigo I highly recommend Dr. Luke Vale. Not only is Luke a very talented and skilled dentist he is also a good raconteur chatting away with his most delightful and kind nurses creating a great distraction from the fact that you are in a dentist's chair having work done!The best dentist and team I've ever had the privilege to attend. Thanks @teamLuke

I've been visiting Martin Vale for many years, and every appointment has been excellent.Usually I go for a check-up, which is quick and hassle-free.I had my wisdom tooth removed here and whilst that was a little anxiety-inducing, they kept me well-informed and made it very much a stress-free time.What I also appreciate alongside them being very accommodating, is that they genuinely care about their patients on what they're up to and how they're doing.Luke and Bree are the dentist dream team! The dynamic duo. Hats off to them. I can't thank them enough for helping me make sure all the teeth I have remain healthy and making appointments a very easy time.As contradictory as this sentence is, they are my favourite dentistry, and I have no qualms when I visit for an appointment.

Couldn’t recommend them enough! They are always so accommodating, helpful and extremely experienced and make you feel at ease with anything you need done. The nurses and front desk staff are so lovely and welcoming. I recently took my 11 month old in with me to an appointment and they were so lovely towards him, giving him a sticker and glove balloon to keep him occupied. The dental nurse even did a mini tooth check to help get him used to being in the chair when he’s older, they really do go above and beyond!

Luke and the whole team at Martin Vale dentistry go above and beyond for their patients. I could not recommend them enough. After having a terrible experience elsewhere, I was welcomed and warmly greated by the lovely nurses in recepetion. Dr Luke fixed the issue with my tooth, without fuss, hesitation or pain. My family and I will never go anywhere else for dental work again.

I had many years of avoiding dentists due to bad experiences elsewhere, but a major toothache meant finding a new one and boy did I hit the jackpot! Dr Harry and the nurses are very calming and understanding and the front desk team are friendly and welcoming. Couldn't recommend the team enough!

Had severe tooth pain, just walked in, explained situation, Dr. Harry Lomas seen me right away, told me my options, no messing about, ripped the tooth out (my choice) champion got it out in one piece, both Dr. Harry and his assistant were very kind and the atmosphere was calm and welcoming, this might sound weird but I actually enjoyed having that damned tooth pulled out, no more pain, was much appreciated being seen within minutes of walking through the door, very caring people at Martin Vale Dentistry, cheers

Dr Harry, was amazing. The friendliest dentist and did such a great job. Made the experience enjoyable for someone who gets super anxious about these things. Been to many dentists in multiple states and abroad and Dr Harry I would recommend over any. Great guy and top dentist. Was impressed he called me the next day to check on me as never had that before. Very appreciative .Thanks Dr Harry.

l've never recommended a dentist before now, and have been to many in Melbourne and overseas in my 50+ years. This family biz is top notch. The facility is spotless, with all the latest "tooth tech". Luke explains things clearly, showing me exactly what's going on with my choppers so l can make informed decisions as needed. Aside from checkups, cleans and general maintenance, I've had root canal, crowns and cosmetic chip repairs done there over the last 6 years or so and wouldn't go anywhere else now. His work is fantastic, and the whole team is lovely (with a special mention to Bree!). No one's ever happy about going to a dentist, so you need to find the right one. For mine, this is it.

I cannot speak highly enough about the outstanding service provided at Martin Vale Dentistry in Bendigo. What a dynamic team! Having an emergency, I was desperate to get into a dentist. They were very obliging and fitted me in on that day. Feeling very ordinary and unsure of what was going to happen, I was overwhelmed by the warmth, amazing support and expertise I received from Luke.From that day, I have continued to receive excellent support at very competitive rates. Sitting in the waiting room (not a long waiting time) I have also noticed the that every other patient is treated with the same respect and care from every member of the team.If anyone is looking for an excellent dental service, I highly recommend Martin Vale Dentistry.

Highly recommend!I need a fair bit of work, but have avoided the dentist out of embarrassment and anxiety. Luke, and the nurse who’s name I can’t recall, made me feel so much better, and helped me create a plan that fits my timeline and budget.I would never have been able to get over my fear and embarrassment without them!

From the moment you walk into this dentist you feel comfortable. The girls on reception are just beautiful and kind. I've been terrified to go to dentists up until now. Luke and his lovely team gave me a beautiful smile. I needed a lot of work done and no one makes you feel bad about your teeth they just want to give you the best smile ever.I would highly recommend Luke and the beautiful team of girls for anyone of any age. I believe Luke is the greatest dentist I've ever seen and im 53 years old. Nothing is too hard for them.

I have an irrational fear of the Dentist. And over the Christmas period, I had an emergency dental appointment with Martin Vale dentistry. This was my very first visit.They took the greatest care of me, and walked me through the whole process. I walked out feeling much better about seeing a dentist and have now booked in to have all of my dental work attended to. Thankyou so much Martin Vale Dentistry

I'm so so glad that I came to know Dr Luke and his staffs in Martin Vale Dentistry ,as we all know well the cost of dental treatment is not only very dear but also we don't have much knowledge and we cannot see our tooth so before visiting this Martin Vale Dentistry I thought that I have to spend at least $10,000 but when I met Dr Kuke for the first time ,he explained the option that I can choose from so patiently and kindly ,at that time I felt TRUST in his clinic because my previous dentist hardly explained these things to me so I wished that I should have met him much earlier, so I have to travel alot as I live in Parkville but it's not really matter, rather it's worth to travel and I really enjoy visit him with my sister as she became also one of his patients, these days I talk about this clinic often as I know that we need this kind of care more than ever .Also all staffs are so kind and genuine, I feel that I'm very well cared for .I REALLY want to recommend this Martin Vale Dentistry to everyone even though my English is not first language so i can not express my feeling such as gratitude and thankfulness ,so please experience it for yourselves.Lastly i would like to say thank u to my friend who recommended this clinic.

I had a wonderful experience getting my wisdom teeth out with Dr Luke under sedation. I loved that this was available as an option without having to travel out of Bendigo. I slept through the entire appointment and have no memory at all of the procedure. Dr Luke and Dr Barry were caring and attentive throughout the lead up to the appointment and on the day - my nerves were entirely reassured. I would definitely recommend sedation, even if you aren't overly nervous about the procedure. It was a great option for having my wisdom teeth taken out in the chair and I would choose sedation again!

Amazing staff and service! I suffer from severe anxiety and dental anxiety due to previous negative experiences with other practices. Luke and all of the friendly staff put me right at ease from the get go. I previously had both wisdom teeth pulled from the left side of my mouth, Luke and Martin pulled the last 2 remaining, it was quick and painless despite the fact it should have been a difficult extraction. The Martin Vale team will always ensure you are seen to if you have a dental emergency and their pricing structure is very fair. Easiest 5 star review I’ve ever given.
