Fantastic experience: I have been a regular patient at the Forster Dental Centre for some time and I have always found them friendly, professional, and excellent in dental care.

Richard Stallworthy 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Great experience. A personal and professional introduction at the reception area making you relaxed and comfortable upfront. This feeling is enhanced further by the introduction to the dentist, Richard Oxenbould, a very professional and experienced man. The initial review and inspection of my teeth, his commentary and recommendations create confidence and understanding of your position now and moving forward. My loose tooth was explained and restoration effected in a confident and effective manner. Suggestions to enhance the health of my teeth, and recommendations that will be considered on another tooth that will require attention going forward. The support staff were professional and very effective in their work with the dentist. And all friendly and personable.

Monique Morrell 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: Not only was I given appts within 24 hours, my final outcome was excellent. I felt I was in highly skilled hands and am very grateful for the recommendation. I had to wait 3 weeks for an appt with my regular dentist. This practise has an excellent receptionist who manages the appts with spaces for those unexpected occasions like cracking your front tooth veneer off! Not a good look Happy to say I resumed eating pork crackling in my banh mi the very next day

paul donoghue 7 months ago

Negative experience: Pretty useless at the end of the day cost a lot to be referred only to have nothing done. This dentist lied to department police prosecutors saying my teeth had no damage from a home invasion. He tried to make a commission by referring me to his mate in Newcastle who didn't understand why I was there..(useless waste of my time). Compassion zero when it comes to punched out teeth after a home invasion, useless antibiotics that didn't work & no help in my emergency, enjoy your tooth over Christmas they said after I complained. PATHETIC NO Professionalism AT ALL!.. Your so called report from you Mate in Newcastle is useless & didn't diagnose the damage to my teeth after my home invasion. YOU BOTH MISS DIAGNOSED & IGNORED THE FRACTURED TEETH/INJURIES. THIS IS BAD PRACTICE!!

Dear Paul
Thank you for reviewing your visit with us at Forster Dental Centre. We are deeply disappointed that we failed to provide you with the outcome that you were expecting.
We strive to provide high quality dental care in a friendly safe empathetic environment.
Where a necessary treatment or diagnosis is beyond the scope of our dentists, it is normal practise to refer a patient to a dental specialist usually located in a metropolitan centre.
Your visit to a specialist allowed him to compile a detailed concise report of your dental condition. We have a copy of that report with your file. We are more than happy to forward this report to you should you request it.
Warm Regards,
Forster Dental Centre.
