Dr Angelo and his team were incredible. I couldn’t recommend them more highly. The results were even better than I had expected and felt very comfortable through the entire process.

Angelo, Cathy and Ruby are truly the best! As someone who suffers with some dental anxiety I go here knowing im in the best hands. Angelo and Cathy are extremely gentle, willing to work with your pace and guided me throughout the whole process. Ruby is a gem! Distracted me, made me feel safe and not too much work. I know my teeth are being well looked after! I highly recommend Elite Dentistry.

I have a very long history of severe anxiety with anything even close to dental work, and over the years, I have been through many different dentists. I moved to Elite after the previous one pushed me onto one of his other dentists, who I did not like.I have been treated by Elite for several years and have had a very large amount of work done, including veneers, implants, plus the usual fillings etcFrom my first visit, I found Angelo to be about as laid back as it gets, giving even me a feeling of confidence, especially when explaining what work needs to be done, my options etc.When it comes to the work I have had done, it's of excellent quality and done with the least impact on my anxiety, with the whole team putting me at ease with every visit.With all the work I have had done, I have had zero discomfort, with the whole team working to keep my anxiety under control.I cannot recommend these guys enough, and have referred several friends who have also had similar experiences to me.

I have been a patient of Dr Jon Tarratoris and Dr Angelo Economos at Elite Dentistry since its inception in Neutral Bay.I am eternally grateful to both doctors for their ongoing support and amazing work over the years but more recently with Angelo Economos who took on the complicated task, over a period of months to totally restore my mouth with his amazing dentistry and reconstructive skills. Nothing was ever a problem, and if there was, there was always an alternative solution to resolve with a positive outcome.Angelo not only gave me back my reason to smile but has also enhanced my health and wellbeing.Thank you Angelo, I will always be grateful for your skill and professionalism.The consistent and welcoming smile from the team on reception, paired with the talented dental assistants and professional hygenists make up this talented team, along with the ambient features of this relaxing, modern facility, you know your in for an experience, not just a dental appointment.If your seeking pemium dental care, I would have no hesitation inhighly recommending the team at Elite Dentistry in Neutral Bay.

I followed Kylee Witham to this new practice and was really impressed. It is a nice new set up, all the guys were super friendly and accommodating. More than happy to continue here with Kylee who I've found to be the best hygienist in Sydney.

Whilst I have been seeing Dr Economos for many years this was my first visit to his new practice at Neutral Bay. I was made to feel very welcome by the friendly and warm staff that greeted me upon arrival.As I arrived, the previous client had just finished her consultation and we struck up a conversation. She was genuinely impressed having never been treated by Dr Economos before and was subsequently making a follow up appointment.I was then treated to a tour of the new premises and was genuinely impressed by the fit-out of the site. I was shown all of the new technology and could see that the level of quality and thought put into the layout was reflected in the pride shown by the staff and by Dr Economos.Needless to say that my consultation was handled with the usual level of professionalism and care that I have become accustomed to over the years, what stood out was the attention to detail and the cleanliness and care taken to make sure everything was completed as quickly as possible with the minimum amount of discomfort.Whilst most people find going to the dentist uncomfortable and difficult, it's the small things that make all the difference. From the TV screen on the ceiling to take your mind off things to the professionalism and warmth of the people that work there.I would have now hesitation in giving Elite Dentistry in Neutral Bay my highest recommendation. I was very impressed and you should be really proud of what you have created there. Kudos to Dr Economos and the team.

He treated me really well, with the results being absolutely amazing.The girls assisting were so attentive to all my needs. Please thank all of them for me.RegardsAdam
