Janice Sommerville Ltd

My daughters have been under the care of Janice and her team for the past 4 years. My oldest daughter is in the final stages of her treatment and her teeth look fantastic. My youngest daughter who has a number of dental issues is having staged treatment but the results are already evident. I would have no hesitation in recommending Janice to any family.

Janice was recommended to me by a number of friends who had also had their children’s teeth cared for there. I now have three of my four children actively under Janice’s orthodontics care and the results have been wonderful. I especially like Janice’s approach of having the kids be responsible for themselves and her encouragement of their independence around their orthodontics. The team are warm and friendly and always greet us like part of the family.

I would not recommend Janice at all. All orthodontists will make your teeth nice, but great orthodontists will make the experience a pleasant one. This is not the case with Janice, and many friends who were previous patients have said the same.I had braces for several years with Janice when I was younger and returned as an adult in 2022 to correct a gap that had formed between my front teeth. I had asked to discuss Invisalign or a long term solution like a removable retainer but was not offered any treatment, and I was just told it would be ‘expensive’. No further information was given for me to make an informed decision. The solution provided instead was to crank my front teeth together painfully and wonkily and glue a wire retainer to hold them together.During the process I asked Janice to stop and she smacked my hand away and told me off. I found this experience this so disrespectful and shocking that I cried while leaving the appointment which Janice and the team later used as an excuse to refuse to treat me. The bad placement of the wire behind my teeth meant I could not chew or clench my teeth at all, but Janice told me I would ‘get used to it’ and charged me $200 for the experience. When I called later to discuss that I couldn’t chew or clench my teeth due to the wire she flat out refused to change or review the wire placement. I was completely unable to eat anything but liquids until I sought help elsewhere.I ended up going to another orthodontist a few weeks later who was able to give me beautiful teeth again by giving me braces for three months, and a long term retainer. My experience with the new orthodontist was respectful, gentle, informed and enjoyable, things I never experienced with Janice in my many years visiting her as a teenager.Definitely look elsewhere for a good experience, especially if you are a parent looking for help with your child.

Janice, Margaret-Ann and the rest of the team are true professionals. All our appointments have run like clockwork and all the staff are friendly and efficient. The results achieved with my two kids have exceeded our expectations, especially given the number of issues that had to be addressed My kids now have beautiful teeth and confident smiles.Janice really ‘gets’ kids. She understands the struggles parents sometimes have trying to get their kids to do all the right things (wearing their bands, retainers etc) and is always looking for the best approach for each individual. We highly recommend Janice and her team.

Janice Somerville Ltd is extremely professional and efficient practice. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. My son's teeth needed a lot of encouragement to straighten up and now, in less than 18 months, he has a perfect smile. We couldn't be happier with the results. Janice is a miracle worker!!! I can't speak highly enough of her work and would recommend her 100%!!!

I decided to get my teeth straightened as an adult & was delighted with my experience with Janice Sommerville & her team! I have also treated my two sons to braces for great smiles with Janice too. I totally recommend Janice & team & the fantastic results speak for themselves. Thank you!

I would definitely recommend Janice and her team. My son first went to Janice in 2015 as a 10 year old. His teeth needed substantial work however we were never pushed into doing anything and Janice was happy to wait till the necessary baby teeth had fallen out before starting our treatment plan – this took well over 16 months. All in all we were with Janice for 5.5 years, first with braces and then a plate. We have found the whole team to be friendly and completely professional. Appointments were always scheduled where possible out of school hours and any between-appointment problems were dealt with speedily. And the final resulting smile is amazing!

We highly recommend Janice Somerville. Our daughter had a mouth full of problems and initially met Janice aged 9. Her treatment was well planned from day one and has concluded with incredible results. The welcoming staff, on time appointments, and convenient location with parking, made the journey so straightforward. Our other daughter is having treatment as well and we have the absolute confidence that her results will be equally incredible. This is a highly skilled team who provide patients a fantastic service.

Highly recommend Janice and her lovely team. We have both our children under her care, our eldest boy has recently had his braces off and his teeth look amazing, he is constantly smiling. Janice and her staff are always professional, understanding and have accommodated all our needs.

I can't thank Janice and her team enough for their brilliant work and extremely patient manner whilst treating my son. He can be a bit of a tricky customer but thanks to Janice and her team, it was a painless experience for both of us! The treatment plan we received was absolutely spot on and the work that has been done has been absolutely flawless and totally transformed my sons appearance and given him the confidence to show his gorgeous smile. I can't recommend Janice Sommerville Orthodontist (and everyone who works there) highly enough. Thank you so much!
