Faculty of Dentistry

I am so impressed with their services and performance. Dr. Valentine pulled my tooth out under the guidance of Dr. Khushi. Very kind and caring team. 10/10

Had a large Molar extracted today, I was referred by my Dentist as the tooth was somewhat tricky with a break in it. Was so well looked after, the student made me feel more relaxed than I would have been. It was managed really well, and I hope KC goes as well as I think she will in her career. Thanks Team.

Have been trying to get a new asthetic partial plate made for last year & couple small fillings done over several years now but keep getting told that there aren't any students available to do any of the work, & they keep trying to make me pay the qualified dentist rates which are three times more expensive & too expensive for me, I was told just for the 5 teeth partial esthetic on ly plate which I cant eat with its the plastic cheapo (not the same amount of work as normal eating plate)to make, told that it will cost me over 600 dollars just for that & then several hundred more for 2 small & one tiny filling- 2 of which weren't done properly the first time, I hear of people getting appointments within a week or 2 with a student to get a plate or denture fixed but it seems it's only me that cannot get these things & am not allowed the same in the same amount of time, I waited over 15 years just to get my teeth scaled & cleaned despite dozens of calls over those years asking why I had never had it done, the last senior dentist I saw was really great the best I've seen his dentist to patient communication was perfect & the dental nurse equally as great also, lovely nice friendly polite communication from both people which was the best, but months later I still cannot get my partial plate done & it's barely holding together & apparently no final year students or other students are available still to make one, & still am hearing from several more people since then that they are getting appointments with students & being seen quite quickly within weeks or a month at most, I just want the same dental treatment that everyone else serms to be able to get at the DUNEDIN Faculty Of Dentistry, & to be able to be seen by a student that everyone else can get at a price I can afford, there shouldn't be treatment bias which is what I have experienced before I saw the last dentist, please I just want a new partial asthetic plate first & the few small fillings done, why is it so damn difficult to get treatment & at prices that your other patients can get

I had a mountain biking accident that disfigured my face. I was taken care of by this fantastic team, who treated me and stitched up my lip. The equipment is top-notch. I would particularly like to thank Bhavya Rajan, Sophie Gaudin, Darryl Tong, and the entire team. They are kind, very patient, and they even brought a translator to help me understand.

I phoned on a Monday, explained my situation and was booked in first thing Friday morning. I arrived 15mins before my appointment time to fill out paperwork but didn't even finish it before being called in. The Dentistry student was awesome! Made me feel comfortable(I hate dentists), made sure I didn't have questions and double checked all my information. My issue turned out to be a Wisdom tooth, which they were able to be extracted the same day. I have also booked in for a few weeks time to have my other Wisdom tooth out. Highly recommend this place for your teeth needs! Professional staff and made me feel good leaving the place although I knew the pain would be coming later that day.

I had been under oral medicine in Wellington and moved to Dunedin. I couldn't get in to oral medicine in Dunedin for years (based on the wait time). So I had a fairly straightforward request for the dental school (recommended based on them being the first stop to escalate to oral medicine) for a robust mouth guard as my previous one had fallen apart. I have TMJ and my teeth are sensitive based on grinding and genetics - hence being under a specialist in Wellington. However, the dental school mucked up the mouth guard 3 times - making it too tight, not the right type for my issues, or too big. Even when I mentioned it was too tight I was told it would 'loosen' with time but I ended up with a crack in my front tooth and reverberating nerve pain through all my front teeth. The young dentist did seem to genuinely care once things were going wrong.. but at the outset had a bit of a laid back attitude. I did warn him my teeth had issues etc but wasn't taken seriously. Now I have a treatment injury claim with ACC but I'm still upset that it's my front tooth that now has an ugly crack in it ☹️ this was back in April/May and I'm still having some issues. I don't think it's worth the money saving in the long run to go here!

I've tried multiple times to make a formal complaint, however have still yet to even have any acknowledgement... Both in person and email. It's not good enough.

I went there and they were so polite and they made me feel really comfortable before they pulled out my tooth

I was booked in for emergency treatment, I hardly had a chance to full out the forms,when a lovely technician greeted me on time and escorted me to the surgery area,where I had almost a 40min consultation and x-rays.As it was so late in day I was booked in for the following day.Dr Binnie was sooo gentle and calming....I had 2 injections, then my tooth pulled and I honestly didn't feel a thing,never thought I would be able to say I was walking on cloud nine, coming out of a dentist

Going to the dental school has been the worst mistake I've done, I've had quite a bit of work done in the dental school and now have been told by a private dentist that the work was so bad that they have to be done again, so to save a little extra is not worth it in the long run, not impressed
