North Coast Dental Ballina: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Re- North Coast Dental Ballina. I very highly recommend this practice.10 out of 10. From the start of receiving new dentures l felt very comfortable. Staff are wonderful and Glen who took me through procedures was very supportive and professional.I went through quite a bit of pain and uncomfortable fitting for my first dentures a few years back at another dentist so I was very wary when I had to get new ones at North Coast Dental but from start to finish I felt reassured that I would not suffer. The end result is I have my new denture and the fit perfectly and feel very comfortable in them. I don’t have to get the sandpaper out to modify my denture as they are perfect. Thank you Glen and staff
Fantastic experience: I have always been treated with kindness understanding and professionally every time I come here and I even look forward to my appointment which is not something I thought I would be saying Tracy

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best Dental Clinic with very kind, caring and very professional Dentists and Hygienist. Very modern clinic.
Fantastic experience: I believe this is the best dental practice in Ballina . I say this because both Glenn and Rachel are very approachable and do not pressure you to have work done if you’re not comfortable with it, but just recommend it . I came to this practice after having problems with other practitioners not doing the right thing and leaving me with a terrible abscess after paying twice to correct the problem. So don’t go anywhere else they are the best

Fantastic experience: Kind, caring, professional staff, excellent skills and communication....Rachel is Wonderful!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to plenty of dentists in my time with bad experiences in the 1950’s. Even up to about 5 yrs ago I would have to have sedation to relax me for major work, of which I’ve had plenty. It is only since going to this practice that I can fully relax. Their hygienist Rachael, explains everything she is about to do and is very gentle. Both Glen and son Jarrod are exceptional dentists. I didn’t need major work this visit, but I have had there in the past and didn’t feel anxious at all.
Fantastic experience: I am extremely satisfied with the care I received from these genuine caring people. I would highly recommend them. I will not go anywhere else.
Kaye, we hope all our clients feel like this! Glad to hear you do. Thank you for your review.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. This is hands down the best dentist I’ve ever been to. Not only is the quality of the dentistry brilliant: thorough, precise, and genuinely pain-free—but the entire team makes you feel welcome and at ease the moment you walk in. The staff are warm, professional, and incredibly efficient, and the dentist is not only exceptionally skilled but also a genuinely great person who clearly cares about their patients. I honestly couldn’t recommend this practice more highly. If you’re looking for dental care that’s both top-tier and truly personal, look no further.
Fantastic experience: Best quality service. Dr. Glen is the best! I love my smile!!
Fantastic experience: Extremely friendly & caring staff who are always understanding & accomodating with patient needs Dentist Glen is great at explaining the process of what he is doing, whilst ensuring patient comfort throughout the whole process. He is always easy to talk to and has the patients best interest at the forefront of everything he does. Hygienist, Rachel is equally friendly & gentle always ensuring patient comfort, especially with sensitive teeth. I can't recommend this dental practice highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Great professional and personal service Always feel comfortable I wouldn't go anywhere else I have been loyal to Glenn as a Dentist and Rachael as my hygienist my for over 15 year's
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a modern dental service equipped with the latest technology and staffed by professional and compassionate personnel then look no further. Dr Jared Hughes is my dentist here, and without hyperbole, he is just the best dentist I have ever encountered!! He always takes the time to inform and reassure you during procedures, which he carries out with careful precision and thoughtful expertise. In fact, the whole team at North Coast Dental go out of their way to ensure that visiting the dentist is the best possible experience it can be and I cannot recommend the staff and facilities of this lovely dental practice too highly!

Fantastic experience: Top dental clinic. Highly recommend. They look after you on a personal level rather than see how much money they can make from you.
Fantastic experience: My experience with North Coast Dental yesterday for check up and clean was very positive! Clean and welcoming environment, as well as friendly and caring staff. Dr Jared Hughes has a very calming energy and provided clear, genuine and valuable information about an impacted wisdom tooth I was concerned about and talked me through possible solutions to address the issue. Very competent, I'll be back!

Dr. Glen Hughes was incredibly professional, gentle, and thorough—he took the time to explain everything upfront, which really helped ease my anxiety. The dental assistant was also fantastic, making the whole visit smooth and comfortable. After years of searching, I’ve finally found a dentist I can trust. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: An excellent experience in which I received expert clinical dental repair and practical advice about ongoing dental hygiene and care. North Coast Dental has a great team of clinicians and ancillary staff who are committed to providing the highest level of dental care and creating a positive client/clinician relationship. R David Brown
Fantastic experience: Extremely good experience informative and pain free treatment. Would recommend to anyone.
Fantastic experience: I have just had the best experience (and I’ve had some bad ones) with a dentist that I’ve had in my nearly 69 years. Jared was amazing, he explained everything to me that was going to happen and made me feel completely safe. That in itself is a one off. I had a tooth extraction and I can honestly say it was painless, which is what we all want. I was contacted the following day to see how I was going and if I had any concerns. I went back for a follow up because I was worried about the healing and again left feeling completely confident .The staff are so lovely and understand when you have anxiety about visiting the dentist. Cannot recommend the practice enough. If you don’t like visiting a dentist then this is the place to go, they will completely change your mind.
Fantastic experience: My dentist Dr Jarred is . I travel from Gold Coast to see him so that should say how happy I am with his dental work. If you would like to have a really skilled, reasonably priced and caring dentist then make an appointment at North Coast Dental
Lubica, Dr. Jared Hughes and our team are very grateful for your beautiful review. We are so lucky to have clients like you who are so kind. We wish you the best and are very much looking forward to seeing you again.

Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: My dentist at North coast dental Ballina made my visit very satisfying. In all instances the treatment plan was discussed for the procedure that was happening that day. He discussed the options that I had and allowed my to have input to what type of outcome I was aiming to achieve. He then fully outline the steps he would be taking to achieve the outcome I desired. Long term goal were discussed and once agin there was no pressure to move my treatment. Options for the future course of action were summarised and I had the final decision on when I would be back for further treatment and the course of action. This was a visit to the dentist that I can actually say I know what was done and the future course of action. I would whole heartedly recommend the dental team at North Coast Dental.

Fantastic experience: North Coast Dental gives me modern and experienced dental practice with great caring staff and uptodate equipment. Glenn and Rachel built my confidence that I’m getting the care necessary for my oral and overall health. I want the sort of care that means no surprises as I get older and they provide this in a very reassuring way. Thanks for being there when I needed expert attention.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend this clinic enough, particularly for people who don’t love the dentist! I see Dr Jared and he is kind, knowledgeable and professional. He takes the time to explain things and is happy to talk through any issues or concerns. I also recently saw the dental hygienist Rachel who was amazing!! She is so warm and friendly and took the time to talk me through each step of the process so I was comfortable. I’m so glad I stumbled across this clinic and I’ve already recommended many of my friends and family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: So I bought some delicious cranberry nougat from Coles and couldn’t wait to bite into it. No sooner had I done that than I felt a crack and one of my molars was broken. Jared Hughes, from North Coast Dental, was recommended by a friend, so I took the drive to Ballina to have my tooth fixed. Jared was extremely professional in his interaction with me. He took the time to understand my concerns and issues and then described the process he would undertake to correct the broken molar. Prior to starting he asked whether I would prefer pain medication or not and reassured me that at any time I could change my mind. Along the way he explained what he was doing and reassured me about concerning any pain I might receive. The job was finished successfully and we then spoke about other issues he had noticed and that we should have a follow up consultation to decide a way forwards. If you are looking for a great dentist with amazing personal and professional skills, then I cannot recommend Jared highly enough.
