Griffith University Dental Clinic

Do not recommend going here unless you’re getting a filling or something quick and easy, just pay the extra and go to qualified, knowledgeable dentists things like root canals. It’s not worth the savings. I regret going so badly and it’s now going to cost me thousands to fix the issue that was caused. I also tried calling multiple times, requested call backs and never received one. I stayed on hold for 40 minutes and was 8th in line, finally got to the front of the queue and because it ticked over to 4pm it ended my call with “you have called outside our operating hours”

No complaints about the quality of work. I've been coming here for years. My biggest complaint is the parking. I have a disability sticker and there are just 2 disabled spots. I have a disability that limits me from catching public transport. I had an 8 am appointment and got there at 7 am and all parks

I spoke to these guys a couple of months ago gave my personal details Medicare number health care card date of birth and I haven't heard a whisper from them????????

A colleague of mine recently suggested that I try out Griffith University Student Dental Clinic because she goes there regularly and absolutely sings their praises. I had previously only ever been to private dental practices but when I was quoted thousands of dollars for an emergency treatment, I decided to go. I cannot begin to tell you how pleasantly surprised I was! I can honestly say that each time I went, over a number of weeks, I had such wonderful experiences that I will never forget the care, kindness and professionalism that was shown to me. The staff over the phone and in person were always very friendly and caring. The dentists I had were exceptional, so I would like to name them. I had two dentists who worked as a team, one treating and the other supporting. They were 5th year Canadian dental students ( who will be graduating in December), Denis and Reesha. Denis was my primary dentist while Reesha supported him. I have been to many dentists over the years but these two dental students were exceptional. Not only were they genuinely compassionate (incredible bedside manner), caring and reassuring when I needed it the most, they were extremely knowledgeable, skilful and professional. I was treated with great respect and they included me in their discussions so that I could make an informed decision about my treatment options. I never felt rushed either. The supervisors, were very professional, kind and supportive too. I felt that I was in good hands the whole time and was given very good post treatment advice as well. I'd like to give a big thank you to Griffith University Dental clinic for doing such an amazing job in training your dental students. The whole experience from start to finish was exceptional and I will be continuing to go to Griffith University Dental Clinic in preference to private practice. What makes it even more amazing is that as a senior Australian citizen, the entire cost of my entire treatment was covered, for which I am truly grateful. Denis and Reesha will make excellent dentists and I wish them every success in their future careers as truly exceptional health professionals.. With sincere thanks and gratitude. Sonja Stauder

Couldn't be happier. Alice has been fantastic with doing all my dental work and I have felt safe and confident the whole time she doing her magic. She always made sure I was comfortable and made me feel relaxed the whole time. Katherine has been amazing assisting Alice with all my appointments. I also had peter for one appointment and he was awesome too. He had a lot of little facts. Thank you so much for everything you's have done.

Dental services great. Parking bad. As far as I can gather if your a public patient receiving low cost dental then tough, you pay for your parking at the hospital or get public transport. If you are a paying private patient then you get the boom gate code.

Took them 3 hours to perform an extraction. They had to surgically remove it after yanking at my tooth for 2 hours straight. I was left with an open wound, the stitches weren’t administered properly and now I have a dry socket. I was also sent away without any pain relief. I highly suggest you stay as far away from these students. They also tried to force me to get a root canal as they wanted practice before the year ends. Avoid the late year student NICOLE at all costs. Rude, rough and incompetent.

I’ve been coming here to the Griffith University Dental Clinic for some years now. The staff and services are great. Polite and respectful. Regarding the parking…well, over the years I’ve been coming there has always been easy parking available. However, today, the boom gates are down to the public and the parking area it seems has now been allocated to the health workers. So dental patients will now have to find alternative parking or go to the paid parking building which is very expensive located at the Gold Coast University Hospital. That’s a challenge for those older ones who have trouble walking and do not have disability parking permits. There are only 2 disability bays and 5 special permit bays directly outside the clinic building. First in, best dressed I guess!🙂 I hope whoever is in charge can see that the current arrangement for dental clinic patient parking at the Gold Coast Griffith University Dental Clinic is 0 and may be causing anxiety and stress for many. Be nice to see a “P” for the patients who visit the Dental Clinic.🤗

Attended the dental clinic for the first time. The Reception team were wonderful courteous and helpful, however this is where it ended. I had a cracked tooth which I wished to have removed and was given an appointment within the dental student clinic - which I had no objection to. I was given an examination and explained that long term I wished to have my teeth removed and dentures - primarily having suffered at an early age from dental trauma. The visit was to have the cracked tooth removed and then assessment plan. The dental student assigned was wonderful however once the Supervisor intervened I was informed that I would need to go to Qld health and he was recommending only a filling for the cracked tooth. Long story short - I left with no repair to my tooth very disappointed and the following day had to seek alternative dentist to remove for which I paid. I am a pensioner and the Supervisor did not seem to wish to listen to or acknowledge my choice.

Receptionist are wonderful so helpful,and the students wat can I say great work and great personalities had 15 teeth removed,I'm glad I came hear
