You'd be mad to enjoy going to the Dentist. Even if it's just a check up there's all those weird…read morenoises, mini vacuum things, scary objects approaching your mouth while you lie there, incapable of stopping the situation. After I had my wisdom teeth out last year I have been avoiding a check up like the plague. When Sparkle Dental near my house offered a deal for a limited time for a check up, clean and x-ray for free if you have private health insurance, I decided it was time to stop procrastinating. When I enquired about an appointment I was told politely that there was nothing available for at least a month, but wanting to get it out of the way as soon as possible I put my name on the waiting list, and sure enough an appointment freed up for me within a week of enquiring. The staff were lovely and quite gentle. Despite a not-so-subtle attempt to up-sell some teeth whitening to me, it was the most pleasant dental experience I have had to date. It calmed my nerves when I saw that the clinic was immaculately clean. I especially liked the TV above the dentist chair that allowed me to fit in a solid half an hour of Absolutely Fabulous whilst getting my teeth scraped and sucked and pulled around. I would definitely go back to Sparkle Dental and will recommend it to all my friends. Given that there was a special deal on and I didn't have to pay a gap for the service, I'm not sure how much they would regularly charge, but with the service I received I would be happy to pay a little bit extra.

I'm not happy at all with this business. I attended when it was Carindale dental…read more since becoming 1300 smiles it's been awful. I am a person who needs to know and trust the dentist !!! i attended for check up and clean every 6 months each time a new dentist.... a couple great a couple awful one was at 1pm appt on a Saturday. (In case they look up my appts) well if I could have left I would of because I was a nothing in the chair and all she spoke of was Finnishing the day to go out . the last one was another new one very rough they didn't even have the decency to tell me there'd be another new dentist . when I asked the receptionist said they must have missed me when sending out notifications the other thing was each visit I had to get fillings redone why I ask because what they use doesn't last long. I found a new dentist who's staying put

Having had every tooth-related experience in my lifetime (think plates, braces, teeth-removal,…read morewisdom teeth removal [commonly referred to as chipmunk face] and retainers), I'm pretty fussy when it comes to deciding who can touch my teeth. At BOH Dental, I'm more than happy for everyone there to touch my teeth. Well, not the snotty-nosed kid next to me in the waiting room, or the reception staff...OK, anybody with dental qualifications; just so we're clear. So I had a delightful experience visiting this clinic for the first time - the reception staff were friendly and guided me through the obligatory paperwork prior to my appointment. The appointment actually began on time (rare for a dental surgery) and I was ushered into a spacious room, complete with sweeping views across the city. It felt more like a setting for a restaurant, rather than a dentist's (added bonus for those terrified of dentists). My dentist was absolutely lovely, he gave me tips on flossing techniques and we became caught up in a discussion over the benefits of adding fluoride to Brisbane's water supplies. Upon completion of my appointment, he walked me up to the reception desk and said he'd offer me a 20% discount because he was so impressed with my teeth. I'm definitely looking forward to my next check-up in one year!
