How to Get Rid of Teeth Stains Safely and Effectively

UncategorisedBy marketing-ashgrove March 5, 2026

Catching your reflection in the mirror or in that picture to realise your teeth are stained is not a great feeling. It’s annoying and embarrassing. On top of that, it also makes you feel self-conscious about your smile. In other words, you’ll smile with your lips closed from that point on. You’ll start holding back…

Can You Get Fillings When Pregnant?

UncategorisedBy marketing-ashgrove March 5, 2026

Pregnancy is an exciting time, no doubt. But, at the same time, it comes with many questions – especially when it comes to your health. There are just so many factors to consider, coupled with a lot of second-guessing about whether something is safe (or not). That’s completely understandable because your and your baby’s health…

I have been seeing Dr. Robyn for a long time, and she has always been absolutely amazing. Every visit has been consistent — she is not only highly skilled but also incredibly kind and approachable.

What I appreciate the most is how well Dr. Robyn explains everything. She always takes the time to make sure I understand what’s happening, answers all my questions with patience, and never makes me feel rushed. Her calm and caring manner puts me at ease every single time.

It’s rare to find someone who combines such professionalism with genuine warmth, and that is exactly why I trust her completely. I always leave feeling well taken care of and confident about my next steps.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Robyn to anyone looking for a doctor who truly cares and consistently provides the best care possible. She really is the best

I have been visiting Ashgrove Dental at least twice a year for the last 15 years. The clinic is conveniently located in Ashgrove Shopping Centre and has a very clean, smart, professional appearance with, what appears to me, the latest and best dental technology on hand. All the team at Ashgrove Dental are very welcoming and put you at ease from the moment you arrive. It’s a dramatic and refreshing change to my first visit to the dentist at the back of Gunnedah in the early 1960s when I was only three and a half feet tall! At that age I established some high expectations of what I would like when I visit a dentist. Ashgrove Dental has well exceeded those expectations and then some!
My dentist, Doctor Philip Ho, has a wonderful flair for clearly and thoroughly explaining what is happening every step of the way and providing an unrushed, anxiety-free experience. I’ve always felt in the absolute best of hands - so much so that I look forward to my six-monthly check-ups. I very highly recommend Doctor Philip and the team at Ashgrove Dental.

Highly recommend Dr Andrew who is always gentle, knowledgeable and all round nice guy! He always makes you feel like you're the most important person in the room and puts you at ease instantly. His dental assistant is also fabulous & knows what it takes to get the saliva out of your mouth without sucking up your gums! Bonus! Highly recommend this dental practise.

I have been going to this dental centre since I was young and Dr Philip Ho has always been an amazing dentist who takes the time to carefully explain everything at every check up. The receptionist Lucy is also extremely nice and friendly!

My family have been attending the practice for many years and have only good feedback. We have been seen by Dr Phil, Dr Robyn and Dr Andrew who have all been thorough, explain things well and put you at ease. The reception staff are welcoming and kind and I can't recommend the clinic enough

I've now been treated by both Dr Philip and Dr Robyn and have nothing but positive things to say about both of them. I recently needed an urgent appointment and Dr Philip and his team went to quite an effort to fit me in before Easter to ensure I was not left in pain for long. They both explain everything very clearly and ensure you understand what your options are. Absolutely recommend this dental practice.

Dr Philip and the team at Ashgrove Dental are super friendly, caring and professional. Dr Philip takes the time to explain what he is doing during your assessment. I personally find this helps alleviate anxiety and makes me feel more comfortable. At the end of the visit, Dr Philip provides relevant education, treatment options and is non-judgemental with whatever your choice. I have never had a negative experience and my experiences here has improved my overall dislike of going to the dentist! I can't recommend this clinic enough.

As someone with a long-standing dental phobia,I was anxious about seeking care,but DR Ho's kind and professional approach immediately put me at ease.His expertise and patience have been invaluable in helping me maintain my dental health. The practice is welcoming, and you truly feel cared for every step of the way. If your looking for a skilled dentist DR Ho is the one to see.

I recently had two visits to Ashgrove Dental, where I was treated by the delightful Dr Robyn and Grace. I found Dr Robyn incredibly gentle, the best dentist I’ve ever experienced. With the entire process incredibly painless. Dr Robyn and Grace were incredibly attentive, always ensuring I was not in pain and handled the procedure like a master. I also loved the transparency in both showing and explaining what work was occurring and why. I thoroughly recommend them.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Philip Ho and the wonderful team at Ashgrove Dental, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. They exemplify professionalism in every aspect of their practice.
Dr. Ho ensures you are informed by explaining each step of the process before proceeding, which greatly alleviates any potential anxiety. During my visit, he conducted comprehensive examinations, including checking for mouth cancer. I received thorough feedback on the condition of my oral health and valuable advice on how to move forward with further treatment options.
The bedside manner of Dr. Ho and the staff is truly commendable, they practice good infection control standards, are kind, attentive, and genuinely care about their patients’ well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Philip Ho to anyone seeking a highly meticulous, and professional dentist who always welcomes questions and provides exceptional care.

I fear to consult dentist because of the previously bad experience with the needle pain. Having met with Dr. Philip in Ashgrove Dental clinic was such a blessing. There was absolutely no pain with the needle.The filling was perfect. It completely changed my view of dentist.

The perfect Dentist for the nervous patient. Dr. Philip provides the absolute best experience a Dentist possibly can. No one likes visiting the dentist but a visit to Ashgrove dental is always the best possible experience. The new suite is fantastic; easy to get to with good parking and situated within what is rapidly becoming the all in one Ashgrove medical complex.

Going to the dentist has always been a nightmare for 40yrs of my life. Yesterday Ashgrove Dental changed all of that! For the first time it was a very comfortable pleasant experience! The team exceeded my expectations from the start to the finish and the follow up. It started with several conversations I had with the receptionist Grace who was so wonderful & positive. Dr. Phil is the best dentist I ever had! The care, compassion, understanding & information through the process prevented my anxiety to peak out as usual. Thank You All Very Much for your genuine sincere professionalism that you displayed! Very Much Obliged!

I've been attending Ashgrove Dental for the last 5 years. Every member of this team is extremely professional and friendly and truly reflects the values of a family practice.

A special shout out to Phil. Apart from providing a consistently high level of dental treatment, he always shows an extraordinary amount of respect and patience for his dental assistants. A true leader.

If you live in the surrounding areas and are looking for a dental practice, you will be very satisfied with the Ashgrove Dental team.

Dr Phil and his team are Soo gentle and thorough with the check up and clean I recieved. I really enjoyed seeing the photos of my entire mouth and gums.
I usually am so scared about having my teeth cleaned because of the cold water and the whole sensory experience makes me cringe and uncomfortable but Dr Phil is Soo gentle and is Soo gentle with my two boys also. My oldest son used to freak out with the bright light, and the ultrasonic cleaning but Dr Phil is always Soo calm and kind and gentle with my boys that they are now fully relaxed and calm now on his chair. They don't mind coming at all anymore!
Thankyou Dr Phil and to your assistants for always being so lovely to my family and I highly recommend you to everyone.

Dr Phil is one of the best dentists I’ve been to. I was previously so nervous about going to the dentist, but Phil’s kindness and technical expertise led to a painless and great experience that I look forward to going back to. I’d recommend anybody come here to visit Phil and his team, they’ll really take care of you and your teeth 🦷.

I’ve just come from having a filling done and so would have every right to be grumpy with my review but my wife and I have been very happy at this practice since 2016. It’s wonderful to find a great dentist. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a long term dentist you can trust.

Dr Robyn is a fabulous dentist. Her expertise and manner make a trip to the dentist… dare I say…pleasant! (Never thought I’d ever say pleasant and dentist in the one sentence!!)
Robyn explains things in detail and makes her patients feel relaxed. I had 3 fillings with Robyn yesterday and I’ve never been so comfortable after such treatment. Her work is gentle and exceptional. See you again soon for my routine clean since I no longer put off or dread my visits to the dentist! :)

I needed emergency dental work a while ago and Leanne looked after me. I have been going there ever since. I have found Phil and his team to be really good communicators. Phil puts you at ease, explains the procedure and it's costs fully. He is calm , friendly and extremely professional. I have no hesitation in highly recommending the clinic. An added bonus is the parking is easy.!

2021 marks the 8th year of dental service I receive from Dr Philip Ho and his team.
Other than the regular dental checkups, Dr Ho has twice fixed my two tooth implants that have not been done properly by a dentist in HK. I very much appreciate he has spent quite some time in searching a lab to repair the damaged part of my implants. It is no doubt that Dr P Ho and his associates are a great team.

Mark Perkins

I put off going to a dentist for way too long because I had previously had bad experiences. I'm a changed man. Dr Phil took care of what needed to be done and now I don't dread my checkups. He's a really calming and compassionate guy and the procedures were no sweat at all. My kids are fine going for checkups as well. I can't recommend strongly enough.

My favourite dental clinic in Brisbane! Great customer service and dental care. All staff and doctors are professional, attentive, patient, and always made me feel comfortable (which is not always the word you’d expect to describe dental visits and I’m no exception). The doctors are really thorough and spend time to explain and discuss if there is any dental issue or concerns. A colleague told me Dr Phil is superb with little kids too. Will take my 2yo here for his teeth checkup.
