Dr Shareif Elhoufy is a fabulous dentist I would highly recommend. He is very professional has patience and takes time to explain the procedure and what to expect. He ensures you are comfortable with the process and when the procedure is taking place. Can not recommend him enough. Best dentist in Canberra by far.
I can never speak highly enough of the professional service and friendly environment I have always experienced at A1 Dental. I strongly recommend them to anyone wanting the absolute best in all facets of dental care.
Dr. Elfar is an absolute expert! I recently had my wisdom teeth removal surgery done by him, and the experience was outstanding. My recovery has been smooth, perfect, and completely hassle-free. If you’re in search of a highly professional and excellent oral surgeon, Dr. Elfar is the one to choose no doubt!!
I have been attending A1 Dental for a few years and find them professional and caring from the reception staff to the dentists and their assistants. I have recommended them to others who have echoed my experience.
Thank you to all the team of A1 Dental Care, I think they are brilliant, from the reception to all the doctor, really good professional resolved all my dental problem. Especial thanks to Mohamed Elfar, may be the best dental surgeon in ACT. And thank you to Michael Barin, really good professional. I really recommend A1 Dental Care.
Great detail, care and very gentle. My son had an emergency and Dr. Shareif took him in straight away and get it fixed up. Very professional. Highly recommend.
Need a dentist? Well you need to try A1 Dental Care at Belconnen. I did because my dentist of nearly 40 years retired! I was impressed with the receptionist when I rang who filled me in with the information I required and then when I attended my appointment I was again impressed with the professional, knowledgeable and friendly attitude of all the staff. Would I recommend A1Dental – definitely! And will I continue to use A1 Dental – most definitely!
My family loves this dental practice, so dependable and friendly! Always does amazing work, and the follow up is fantastic.
I was very nervous coming to my appointment because I get nervous and scared of needle injections but after meeting Dr Mustafa Mahar, he explained my treatment plan and the costing so that I can understand and know what to expect without any surprises. I could not fault this practice. Dr Mustafa Mahar was very informative of my treatment plan and was thorough with my options. The receptionists are so lovely and welcoming. Highly recommend coming here if your feel nervous of dentist.
So good with kids and so thorough with explanations. My 8 year old didn’t even know he had 2 injections! So clever.
I was recently treated by Dr Shareif for a serious bridge root and gum infection which required the urgent removal of the bridge and root. Dr Shareif was recommend by a family member, and he managed to slot me in during his lunch break, at very short notice, to surgically remove the bridge and infected root. I quickly made a full recovery and the follow-up review (at no cost) was very reassuring . Dr Shareif is highly experienced, very professional and caring. The dental assistants and admin staff at A1 are also wonderful. I found the price reasonable and competitive. I would highly recommend A1 Dental.
Best Dentists In Canberra Without Question!!!

I have been using A1 Dental since they opened and I can say that Dr Mohamed Elfar (met his business partner once while Mohamed was away and he was also very kind and caring) is the best dentist by far and one of the best I have ever had in my life. The kindness and empathy shown to me by all the staff is awesome, which leaves me feeling like a part of a family every time. Nothing is too hard and everyone is so friendly, as well as polite and courteous. I have many severe disabilities requiring the use of a wheelchair. They accommodate the chair, all my needs no matter how long it takes, and always with a smile, as well as comforting my severe anxiety. I want to say so much more, but words do not do justice to the quality and kindness I receives from A1 Dental, Dr Mohamed Elfar, and his team. I know I have a dentist for life now. I hope that one person reading this actually goes in and finds out what I am experience everytime. Such a comforting atmosphere for a dental surgery, and I have honestly never once felt any pain with any needles or any kind of work. The gentleness and kindness is not only comforting it makes me relax to the point I don’t even realise I am being treated. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for all you do and have done for me, and I am sure that many others that go to you feel the same as I do :).

All the best, and I stand by every single word I have said,

Peter Murer.
