Adelaide Dental Hospital - Adelaide, SA

Don’t be scared or discouraged by all the 1 star reviews, this was the best dentist trip I’ve ever had! The 5th year student who looked after me was fantastic! She had a lot of skill, and was very knowledgeable, catering to my mountain of questions. Went in for a filling as my molar had cracked and where it had cracked fell out leaving a big hole, after the procedure my molar is now back to normal and looks brand new. She did a proper job! I’m also terrified of needles and she did a great job at keeping me calm and my nerves at bay, and the best part, I couldn’t even feel the needle at all! I’ve had horrible experiences from supposed 5 star rated private dentists but Adelaide Dental Hospital was by far the best dentist experience I’ve ever had 🙂

I was returning a call after class today because I thought it was urgent and when I picked up, the receptionist was so aggressive and rude, I was completely taken aback. I am very nice and soft spoken so she had absolutely no reason to berate me the way she did. I was at university but I stepped outside so I could take the call, but I still wasn’t able to hear her that well and follow her instructions, which made her extremely mad that she SNAPPED at me for spelling out my last name, even though I was trying to be helpful. she quickly snapped and said “NO NEED TO SPELL IT” in an extremely angry tone. you don’t treat patients like this and you certainly don’t take out your anger on them judt because you think they’re easy targets. mindfulness goes a long way. this is so disappointing.

They took 9 teeth but DID NOT TAKE THE TOOTH THAT HURT. THEY LEFT ME WITH LIFELONG NERVE PAIN. they did not provide pain relief, they did not provide aftercare. I had to go to the hospital afterwards because they damaged multiple nerves IN MY MOUTH. I will never eat, drink, talk or breathe without pain again. They make you sign a waiver so you can't sue them if they make mistakes.

I was fortunate enough to be referred to Dr Badlani in relation to oral cancer.
He and his associates have been totally professional and caring during my visits to Adelaide Dental Hospital and for major surgery and follow-up at Royal Adelaide Hospital.
Everybody spoken to agrees Dr B and his team are the best available in SA.
Thank you for your total support.

Thought I was going for a clean which is now 5 months overdue as I had to reschedule due to covid. Not only did I not get the clean, I was not informed of the cost prior to them just doing a chart! I was also not informed that it would be so painful as no anesthesia was offered! I'm outraged at their total lack of not only communication, but informed consent, both financial & in the treatment so I called a local Dentist only to discover I was gouged by the Dental Hospital!

It's disgusting that a Public Health Service, which I was obviously under the mistaken belief was for those on the lower end of the socio economic scale, can get away with charging someone on a Disability Pension $52.50 to do something that would've cost only $37.00 at the local Dentist! Then to add insult to injury, they won't even give me a copy of said chart to give to the 'non price gouging' Dentist, I have to fill in a FOI request for it! I was also told that I can't just keep going there for care as I was taking up resources that could go to the next person on the waiting list & I suspect that's why I was charged way over & above what it has cost me previously.

Where's all the $$$ for Public Services from the resources that are taken from the land? In the pockets of a few billionaires who don't even want to benefit their own children (yes, I'm looking at you Gina). Vote Greens ppl, they want to make the mining companies & billionaires pay what they should so they can put Dental & Mental Health into Medicare!

The admin always seem grumpy, the work from the dentists isn't professional or good quality and they've made my visits to the dentist harder than it should be. No thanks, I'm not returning.

Got 2 teeth removed in June for orthodontic treatment and had my sinuses perforated on both sides they were removed 6 months after sinus surgery. Had a sinus infection for three weeks due to this. Moved interstate during my braces treatment and was met with refusal to transfer my records. Finally getting sorted 6 weeks and multiple complaints later…

I got someone's attention @ Adelaide Dental Clinic with my last review and I am thankful for that. She was able to bring my appt 10 days earlier And with one of their more senior Dentists. (apparently)
It gets a bit scary when the denture in wax comes back and all you can see is bottom teeth when fitted. There was no middle line between the top teeth and bottom teeth.. because all you could see was bottom teeth.. I thought it was so obvious.. (to anyone)< but when the Dentist couldn't see what was wrong 🤨 until I put my old dentures back in & showed him.. to prove it. I told him they need to be bought down 5mm. He wouldn't believe me & I think they were shortened a couple of mm. I was most unhappy with the lack of response to my input because I am NOT happy with the dentures either. As a matter of fact I have bought all the material I need to make my own dentures with lessons from YouTube. I am so frustrated that I can NOT get a decent set of dentures made. I put $75 down, before the dentist started, but after the 1st visit I wouldn't pay another dollar until I seen what I was getting and glad I didn't because I will not pay for rubbish. Anyway.. Thank You to the person who responded to my 'review' and helped me to get thru the 'system'. I will update later. Ok this is 'later': Unfortunately the system failed me - well, to be exact - Another 'public dental' dentist failed me.. badly. He just wasn't interested.
