What Our Clients Say
“Sam, Ben and the team at Create Dental are the best at what they do. Sam did a small job for me about five years ago. I was so impressed with his work and decided to engage him again for my dental practice fit-out in Caroline Springs.
Sam is an excellent communicator; is knowledgeable, courteous, thorough and has great attention to detail. Sam has helped me with various issues surrounding construction. After completion, Sam checks to make sure everything is working perfectly and ensures minor issues are corrected promptly. Create Dental team has excellent work ethics, great personality and will leave you with high quality work space. If I ever expand my practice, I won’t have to look anywhere else.
I highly recommend Create Dental to all my dental friends and colleagues.”
“We highly recommend Create Dental. Being new to the process of building a dental practice, Sam was very supportive, guiding us through the entire process and answering the incessant questions we had. He was very accommodating of our schedules and made sure we were happy with the result. Big thanks to Sam and his team.”
“Sam from Create Dental delivered a beautiful dental practice, on time and complimented by all my patients.”
“Create Dental recently did some work for us and we are really very pleased at the professionalism of not just Sam, but all the people he chooses to work with.
Sam and his team are very proud of the great service they provide and I can truly highly recommend them. The project was completed in exactly the time frame they said they would do it and they made the entire process very easy for us.
Thank you Sam, Ben and colleagues for the great work you have done! We love our renovated area very much!”
“For anyone looking for an exceptional and experienced dental builder, I highly recommend Sam Russell from Create Dental.
He has recently built our dream practice, without us having to worry about any details. He goes above and beyond to make sure you get what you want within your budget and delivers on time too! We managed to build this practice while still operating from our old site without losing a day of production, and Sam also accommodates our lifestyle as we have kids and even held meetings at our home so we can make this happen efficiently.
We would not have been able to do this without Sam’s help. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to renovate or build a dental practice in Australia, especially Victoria.”
“Both Sam and Ben were an absolute pleasure to work with from day one. Sam is very prompt at communication and has extensive knowledge of the physical setup and workflow of a dental surgery as a business that other builders just do not.
He is meticulous and does not leave anything to chance. I was involved in the decision making process from beginning to the end with suggestions and explanations offered at every stage of the fit out process. Requests along the way for minor amendments and tweaks were catered to extremely well. The project was delivered strictly on time and budget.
Best of all, unlike some corporates, there is something very reassuring about the fact that the guys you shook hands with are actually the ones getting their hands dirty on site. The entire team of Create Dental work seamlessly and employ tradesmen of high calibre. Their work speaks volumes in terms of commitment to quality and innovative design. Thank you Create Dental for an excellent job.
For anyone building from scratch or renovating, I strongly recommend the highly commendable team at Create Dental.”
“While setting up a new dental practice can be stressful and full of doubts, nothing was too much of an issue for Michael and Create Dental. Good communication throughout, high quality control and great team to work with.
Even 5 months after completion Michael is still in contact to ensure everything is going well! Highly recommend.”
“Awesome experience working with Sam and his team! They were comprehensive and professional from start to finish and covered details that would have slipped through the cracks with most builders. Best of all, we finished on time, on budget and our clinic looks great! Would highly recommend.”
“Highly recommended. Over 2 years in and haven’t had a single issue. Time has proven that the attention to detail, quality of fittings and service was the highest standard and second to none.
Sam personally provided us with a design that worked with our difficult specifications, no easy feat. The fitout was completed like clockwork, 100% on time and on budget as quoted. We received a good price and felt Sam and the team really looked after us with top notch service and excellent communication.
From our team here at Mentone Smiles to Sam’s team at Create Dental, thank you – we love your work!”
“We can’t speak highly enough of the Create Dental Team. Sam is professional, prompt at responding to queries and just good at what he does. Our project was delivered on time and on budget. The project was handed over (6 months ago), Sam is still in touch making sure everything is still going well. Awesome!”
“Thank you Sam and Create Dental for our wonderful refurbishment! Sam and his entire team are very approachable, professional and passionate about what they do. They took care of the entire process and made it seamless turning our dream into a reality.”
