I have received the most excellent treatment at Elmslea for several years now.
Eli especially has provided expert periodontal care. I am so grateful for how she has restored and maintained my gums over the years. Also I'm delighted with the dental implants which have made such a positive difference to my mouth and smile.

Tammy is my dentist - I always feel in safe hands. Would highly recommend. Especially, if like me, you are a Sixties kid, brought up on dentists drilling away, with no real need, for the sake of a 10 fee... Tammy is an expert at addressing this poor treatment; one never feels judged. Bad dentistry was rife in the 60's and 70's and a generation is suffering the consequences. Thank heavens for Elmslea for understanding this.
