This is a small little practice that divides its space and resources between dental and physio, though I've only ever experienced the dental side of things.
I've been here a handful of times in between hating and trying to find other dentists. In case I haven't made it abundantly clear in my past dentist reviews, I hate them. The very thought of stepping inside a dental surgery (even if it's just for a standard clean) makes me quake in my boots. They simply horrify me. Who likes using ridiculously shaped utensils to poke about in someone's mouth? Anyway, let's put my bias aside for a moment.
Mitchelton Dental didn't do much to assuage my fears. It's not their fault; I'm a pretty bad patient in a dental chair. And during my last visit I had to have a bit of a painful procedure, so I can't shift all of the blame onto them, because the dentist I had was really quite lovely to me. She just didn't tell me what the hell she was doing in my mouth as tears were rolling down the side of my face. If I'm going to suffer through someone poking and prodding and grinding small machines around in my mouth, I'd like to be kept informed, that's all I'm saying.
More basic procedures and cleans aren't dreadful here at all and they actually do a good job, leaving an exceptional finished product (according to my new dentist). I'm just a massive chicken and like to be molly-coddled while I sit in a dental chair.
They do bulk bill here too, by the way. Hopefully I haven't scared you off.
The reception staff and dentists I've had here have all been very friendly and accommodating, so I'll definitely recommend them; they just weren't a good fit for me. But like I said, I'm a ridiculously shaky scaredy-cat. read more
