What Our Patients Say
Amazing dental practice. Office staff is friendly and helpful. Dr Arabella is a great professional, who listens to her patients and is very caring.
Friendly, professional staff from the front desk to the dental surgeons. I had an implant stud inserted by expert practitioners all in protective sterile gear to minimise germs. They explained the steps they were taking and the whole process was conducted efficiently and without pain or stress. Aftercare has been equally great, with no issues requiring attention. I strongly recommend Joshua Green and his team at Wahroonga Valley Dentistry to anyone considering implants or other dental services.
Amazing implant surgeon Dr.Lester! I did implant with him twice for my 3 teeth and he also extracted 2 of my wisdom teeth. No infection no complication and they healed fast! With welcoming reception and caring nurses, it is a wonderful clinic! Never need to wait. He always see you on time. Highly recommended!
Our previous dentist of 30 years was retiring and suggested we try Josh Green who was situated in an area we rarely visit. We did, and have been very pleased in every way. Josh has carried out the usual repairs including two implants a few years ago. More recently he has completed three implants to replace teeth removed about 65 years ago. Josh is first class, explains what is happening in terms I can understand. He is easily approachable as are all the people I interact with at his rooms.
I’ve been to this clinic many times over the years, not as a patient but as an observer dentist. Lester and Joshua are always on the leading edge of dentistry; incorporating implants, CT, Cerec and microscope into daily practice. Seeing as the nursing and reception staff are so friendly and have been there long term, shows it must be a great work culture.
Excellent customer service and wonderful dentists. I’ve been using this service for over twenty years and have always been very happy with the care and support provided by each of the dentists who have treated me. The reception staff are caring, kind and inclusive. Highly recommended.
Common Questions About Dental Implants
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults in reasonable general health are candidates for dental implants, but the only way to know for certain is a comprehensive clinical assessment. During your consultation, we'll review your medical history, take detailed imaging, and assess the condition of your jawbone and surrounding teeth to determine the right approach for you.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and regular maintenance, dental implants are designed to be a long-term, often lifelong, solution. Our team will discuss everything you need to know about caring for your implants during your consultation.
What if implants aren't the right option for me?
Implants aren't always the right choice for every patient, and we'll tell you that clearly if it's the case. Our role is to recommend the best treatment for your situation, which may include alternatives like bridges, dentures, or other restorative options.
I feel anxious about dental treatment — can you help?
Yes. Many of our patients come to us feeling nervous, particularly about more involved treatments like implants. Our team is experienced in caring for anxious patients, and we offer sedation options when appropriate. We'll take the time to make sure you feel comfortable at every stage.
How long does the full implant treatment take?
Treatment timelines vary depending on your individual case. Some patients can complete treatment within a few months, while more complex cases may take longer. We'll give you a clear, personalised timeline during your consultation.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes — we offer flexible payment options for implant treatment. Our reception team can discuss these with you in detail during or after your consultation.
You've Taken the First Step
At Wahroonga Valley Dentistry, our role is to guide you through the decision with clarity, not pressure.

We take the time to understand your goals, explain your options thoroughly, and recommend the right path forward — even if that means a treatment other than implants.
By the time you leave your assessment, you'll know exactly where you stand and what your options are.
