Geelong Dental & Implant Centre

I went to see Tim for a second opinion on a quote I was given from another dentist. He gave me honest advice which saved me a few thousand dollars at least! I would definitely recommend going to see him and the girls at Geelong Dental & Implant Centre

Utterly disappointed. Wish I stayed away from this place because they are just regular dentists, not specialist periodontists. This means that they can do basic procedures but for more advanced procedures you need to see a specialist. Don't expect them to tell you this because they don't want to lose out on a customer. Very greedy and unethical! Going here ended up costing me a lot of money and what's worse Dr Stolz almost ruined any chance of me ever getting an implant on my 41 tooth. Had I not found a specialist periodontist I would have had to wear a bridge. If you have thin bones like me, I highly recommend staying away from this practice since they do not specialise in restoration of bone mass (they say they do but they are not qualified to do this). Perhaps they are capable of doing implants for people with thick bone mass. I also found the hygienic practices to be of mediocre standard. It has been over a year and a half since I saw Dr Stolz and I'm still undergoing procedures to restore the state of my bone. Luckily I found an excellent specialist periodontist who doesn't cut any corners and is highly qualified with this work. Update: despite Dr Stolz's pessimism in his reply, the dental implant performed by a qualified periodontist turned out a success. The chance of success for the implant was reduced from an estimated 97% to 70% by the periodontist. The reason for the reduced success estimate? He first had to undo the poor work done by Dr Stolz. Regardless, the implant procedure had succeeded and since I have had other dentists complement the work done by the specialist periodontist. Dr Stolz's claim that he carried out no treatment on me is a blatant lie. Dr Stolz had removed my 41 tooth and had a poor attempt at a bone graft procedure that should only be performed by a specialist periodontist. Update #2: Following my initial review, Dr Stolz replied to this Google review, prompting me to add the first update above. He has since taken down his reply. I'm writing this so that people are aware of him doing this, and so that my initial update makes sense when reading.

Could not be happier with the services from Geelong Dental & Implant Centre. Dr. Stolz and his staff were professional , courteous and confident during my procedure and I was at ease from the moment I walked into the clinic. I would definitely recommend!

I want to thank the Geelong Dental and Implant Centre and particularly Dr Tim Stolz for the exceptional care and excellent treatment over the last few years. I have experienced great satisfaction in care and ongoing treatment. The changes to my teeth have made a big difference to my quality of life. It has been well worth the effort to travel the 2 hrs to receive this specialised care.

I really wish that I could rate Dr Stolz less than one star. Several years ago I went to his practice for 6 dental crowns. Dr Stolz seemed very confident and assured me of the treatment he suggested. However, after the surgery was completed I was left and still suffer from a great deal of pain and discomfort. I now wished that I would have checked the online reviews of his other patients on his Facebook Business page and Google. After the surgery was completed, Dr Stolz was a different person. I had to visit his clinic at least 5 or 6 occasions and all he told me was to 'take a holiday on a beach for a few weeks' or shrugged his shoulders and told me there was nothing he could do. If you are looking for a dentist in Geelong who is rude, incompetent and will treat you like garbage once you have paid the invoice Dr Stolz is your person. However, if you value honesty, integrity and good workmanship there are many other options in Geelong. Read the other reviews on the Internet and stay away from this dental practise!
