Fantastic experience: I have always had a great experience with Dr. Cowhig. Over the years I had quite a few problems with my teeth, but since I started seeing him, he has really helped stop the damage. Every procedure is smooth and done with great care. I feel very confident being in his hands and highly recommend him.

Cristiin Melbourne 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: Finally after many years of searching for an actual dentists who is holistic and well informed outside of main stream narrow dentistry, my partner heard a podcast and referred me to Dr Cowhig and his principles. After my initial consult and my plan moving forward I'm so grateful to be supported at a high level and treated for what's right for my mouth and body, I encourage everyone to get in front of Dr Cowhig as soon as possible. He is a wealth of knowledge and the team are beautiful.

Hi Pam, sorry to heat that you felt we did not check your gum health.

Haydenn Sayers 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: After considering the previous reviews I have become a customer of dental wellness and I haven't looked back since. The service and overall experience is the best I have been exposed to in the medical industry. The staff are extremely welcoming and helpful while imparting proven medical expertise. I note some other reviews from some who seemed to be after a "quick fix"- this practice, in it's holistic nature, goes beyond treatment and provides solutions to prevent and cure dental issues. As a diabetic I've had plenty of experience in this industry and value the best care possible. Because of this I will indeed be a long term customer.

Fantastic experience: The dentist who attended and filled the cavities and applied the crowns could only be described as first class. She was concerned that she might be hurting me but that was not the case as I was relaxed just about all the time. When she finished she showed the xrays before and after and then I thanked her with many thanks for the work she had performed on my teeth. The other staff were just as efficient as her. Thank you Bill Rivers

Negative experience: Hello! I am very keen to get my many amalgum fillings replaced by one of your dentists. After reading the information on your website, I was interested to learn more. Could you please direct me to the scientific studies you have read/done, specifically in regards to the level of heat required, and bite pressure needed, that would cause the release of mercury 'vapour' into the body? Thanks for your time, Hol. Edit: Hello It has been more than a few weeks since my initial enquiry. Will an answer to my question be forthcoming or shall I book elsewhere? Regards, Holland

Caitlin Mcelligott 1 year ago

Positive experience: I attended this practice in late May 2024 as a new customer. They could not accommodate a cleaning and a dentist check up on the same day, so they booked me firstly for the dentist check up, and I returned at a later date for the cleaning. It is my opinion that the cost was extremely high for the services rendered. I was due to attend for a 6 monthly clean last week and cancelled at short notice because I felt uncomfortable proceeding with a dental practice with such high costs. I notified the practice by email after the cancellation to explain my perspective, expressing concern at such high fees. Dr Cowhig replied to me a few days later, which was appreciated. He said he was sorry that I felt that they were not upfront with their fees and directed me to the welcome email from them that outlined all the possible fees. I think from reading reviews this practice may be quite good for people with various complex dental needs. For transparency, I paid $805 for a dentist check up, a Ct cone beam scan, scaling and cleaning, and various photos and other checks. A simple google reveals that an average cost of dentist check-in with cleaning and scans in QLD is under $300. I believe this would be for x-ray and not a CT cone beam scan which would cost more. I write this review just to flag with possible new clients that the fees at this practice seem quite a lot higher than elsewhere. Of course, One could say I did all of this knowingly since I received that lovely welcome email. That is definitely fair. The practice itself is beautiful, clean, friendly, professional. They give you various toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, pots of coconut oil etc for oil pulling. All very lovely, but probably not worth an extra money in my humble opinion. I wish the practice all the best with their business, I am simply making this honest review so other people can be aware that a new patient check in with this practice can cost upwards $800.

Dental Wellness
Dental Wellness

Hi Caitlin,
I am sorry that you felt our fees were too high. All of the fees were highlighted to you prior to your visit. The hour appointment with myself highlighted function, pH, gum inflammation, airway,sleep, headaches and migraines with suggestions to improve all of these issues. This required a series of photographs to visually explain any issues. The CBCT gave us information beyond a visual check up and we were able to see assess your nasal, sinus and airway health. Further assessment of sleep and cranial health referring you accordingly.
Five days later you returned to see our hygienist for one hour also for guided biofilm therapy, oral hygiene guidance and suggestion of use of morning oil pulling, flossing and inter proximal gum maintenance.
All of these services were explained to you and given in writing before you attended.
I am happy to forward your dental records to your new dentist.
Regards

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend David and the amazing team behind this business. I am from Cairns and traveled to see him to find out the issues I thought I had with my teeth I didn't but what he found was an infection in a tooth I'd had no drama with. Two visits later, and extraction of tooth and 7mm ball of infection which had been wreaking havoc with my sinus for I don't even know hpw long and I feel a totally different person. Sinus has cleared and brain fog gone, I have energy for days all because I was harboring an infection I wasn't even aware I had. I would recommend everyone go and see David even if you thibk you've got not dental issues.

Fantastic experience: Today I had my second appointment with Dr Sapphire from Dental Wellness at The Gap, Brisbane. Both my sessions with her were the best I have experienced with anyone previously and I have to emphasise that I’ve had many dental practioners over my lifetime. She was friendly, helped me to relax and made sure I was comfortable. As for the injections themselves, which are usually not pleasant, to say the least, I hardly felt a a thing! Of course the standard of work she performed both with fillings and replacement of a crown on a seriously decayed molar, was second to none!! Thank you Dr Sapphire for producing such excellent work. I highly recommend Dr Sapphire to anyone who needs to have any dental work done. Erika Jakeman

John Stephenson 1 year ago

Positive experience: Karen is a tooth Wizard! Appreciated having Davids advice, knowledge & support! However it would be more courteous to inform me, ( or any client) about The extra cost for David's consult! I wasn't told prior to coming, nor told upon arrival, Not till Karen told me David was coming in to see me did I know anything about it! If so I would have asked what if any extra charge there would be? Then to luckily have enough funds on me to cover it saved me from embarrasement!! I would really appreciate more awareness around this, (what felt like non-disclosure; Please?) Your practice gives a High Degree of service, but I need to feel valued with simple pro-active service procedures! You know I'm very adaptive & go with the flow, but just feel this got & Was missed! Just being real; Normally I wouldn't bother with this feedback, but I do acknowledge & support you, so there; now you have it! ( because I've responded to your feedback request.)

Hi John, thank you for the feedback. I am sorry that you were not informed that a dentist check up is also needed when having a regular visit with our wonderful hygienist Karen.

I will bring up your concern with our team on Monday morning and make sure every patient is fully informed.

Fantastic experience: After travelling from Victoria for a number of intense dental procedures (in one afternoon appointment) I cannot recommend Dr David Cowhig and his team highly enough. David uses technology that comprehensively indicated to me the work I required and explained reasons why this would be beneficial, from a holistic perspective. The platelets rich fibrin process used during my procedures resulted in a healthy and virtually pain free recovery after this intense work was completed. The Dental Wellness team were consistently kind and patient throughout all my communications and procedure. I’ll be returning in 3 months time to continue my dental health journey with confidence and a sense of calm (rare in many cases of dental treatment)

Bec Edwards 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: It was my first session today with Dr David and his team today. He takes a comprehensive approach to dental care. When I came to him concerned about a persistent issue, he gave the time to truly understand my full history and symptomology. Through thoughtful questioning, thorough examinations, and drawing on his vast experience working with all sorts of cases, david was able to uncover the root cause that had eluded others. It was apparent how his deep knowledge of dental health and function helped connect the dots in a way that aligned with my specific situation. Where some may have given a surface diagnosis, he honed in on the underlying problem through an analytical yet empathetic lens. I feel confident in the solution going ahead because it well incorporated my priorities, lifestyle and long-term oral wellness in a holistic manner.

At this facility. I have no hesitation in recommending this dental surgery to my friends and family. And work colleagues. I have a substantial amount of work to be done running into the thousands but this will be money well spent.

Clare Kennedy 2 years ago

Negative experience: I visited dental wellness for a check up and treatment plan, primarily I have an amalgam filling that needs replacing and am interested in having this done appropriately to limit heavy metal exposure. Dr Ricky assessed my teeth and devised an treatment, however during the consultation he took xrays which added $475 to the total making a 45 minute checkup cost $790. At no point was the cost of the X-rays discussed, the receptionist just had to deliver the total and explain that these costs were outlined in an email prior as a potentials. The email in question lists many different potential costs, and so if a patient is going to need any of them included then surely the practice needs to clarify these costs again and get the patients consent? The treatment plan for my work with them is double the price of another I have from another local dentist.. I’m happy to pay a premium for anything wholistic but here felt as though they are taking advantage of their patients and the pricing structure reflected this. Finally, Dr Ricky was clearly not well and it was stressful having someone sniffling while looking in my mouth. I also felt as though I needed to extract information from him about the various treatment options, rather than being educated about the differences in their approach and how it might relate to our overall wellbeing. I can see the Dr David has a lot of good reviews here, so I appreciate there may have been a different outcome had he treated me. Edit to reply. Thanks David but I'm not sure that response addresses my concerns. My question was around the ethics of conducting the 3DCT test without discussing the costs with the patients prior and gaining consent. I don't doubt its a good diagnostic tool it's just that Dr Ricky did not discuss the cost, nor did he really outline any of the pro's and con's as listed in your response. Relying on the small print of an email seems dishonest, and when I asked your receptionist if Dr Ricky was supposed to discuss these costs prior to conducting the tests she agreed this to be the case. I just feel if someone is quoted $280 for a checkup and then given a $780 bill at the end without there being any discussion of potential inclusions then it's worth iterating this so that you can potentially be more upfront with future patients. Lastly your reply skirts around personal information relating to my case (as well as some exaggerations that don't apply) and I'd have thought this sort of information was best left off a public forum.

Dental Wellness
Dental Wellness

I am sorry that your visit to Dental Wellness did not meet your expectations.
I have reviewed your appointment with Dr Ricky and your dental situation.
I know that your main concern was amalgam filling replacement.
Before any suggestion of SMART protocol( Safe Mercury Amalgam Replacement Technique) it is essential that your whole dental and medical situation is assessed.
Jaw function issues related to head and neck pain, gum inflammation and potential infections from dead or buried teeth. Evidence of erosion, decay and broken existing restorations. Your sleep quality and airway assessment essential for deep healing sleep and optimal detoxification. Your diet and habits that could lead to higher risk of failure of dentistry and the need to have strong restorations that can tolerate this environment.
You did confirm receiving a detailed breakdown of potential costs for small mouth x rays and CBCT image. The 3DCT is the only technology that allows appraisal of nasal, sinus, jaw anatomy, wisdom teeth alignment and presence of infections associated with dead teeth.
The inflammation and potential infection has been shown to increase systemic risks of heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, fertility problems and even strokes. This is why we take your dental wellness seriously. I do not feel that this is “taking advantage” of our patients.
My associate has learnt these skills of assessment and was aware that it may have been somewhat overwhelming for you to take it all in. He has recommended the best long term restorations and referred you to the correct Specialists for further opinions.
Once again, I am sorry that we could not fulfill your requirements. We are happy to transfer copies of your detailed notes, x rays, CBCT and images to your next dentist.

Fantastic experience: Excellence from everyone from whome i ve dealt with during my first visit. Dr.David was extraordinary with his comprehensive and detailed examination answering all the questions sincerely and openly. I experienced first hand a talented professional whose goal is to help the patient and uncover the root causes of the health issues not only managing symptoms like other healthcare providers. If you are serious about your dental health and your overall holistic health . i believe the dental wellness team will exceed your expectations. Thank you everyone at the dental wellness for the pleasurable experience (i know the word pleasurable and dental procedures are never seen next to each other in a sentence but that was my experience).

Fantastic experience: Positive experience from the time you arrive at the surgery. The reception and assistant staff are super friendly and helpful and Dr David is a lovely man who patiently explains everything, is thorough and generous with his time. I traveled 2.5 hours to see this dentist. I wish this practice was closer to home.

Fantastic experience: I immediately felt so at home, even the waiting room was an amazing experience! Then I was so relieved to find someone who looked at the whole person and David was the first practitioner who gave me information about my oral anomalies which then explained so many other things, I actually cried in the chair! All the staff are kind and professional too. I have never been so thrilled after a trip to the dentist!

Fantastic experience: Lovely to have Sylvia's care and attention for my 14 yr old son's dental checkups and clean. And especially nice to have the continuity as he grows up (literally - a foot taller since last visit)!

Heather Faulkner 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am very pleased with the professional and caring service I receive from Dr Cowhig and his associates. I've always felt informed and free to make up my own mind about treatment. I'm also much more conscientious and confident about my own dental hygiene routine and its affect on my system because of their holistic approach. Their after-care following the replacement of a very troublesome crown (it was over 30 years old) was excellent.

Fantastic experience: I am a nervous dental patient, ever since ending up in hospital for emergency maxillofacial surgery following extraction of a wisdom tooth that subsequently became infected. I sought out David when he first set up in Brisbane City under the name Holistic Dental in the early 2000's and had amalgam fillings replace with the non-metallic alternative. I have attended his surgery ever since - almost 20 years now. I have always found his Dental Practice and follow-up to be excellent and of the highest order both technically and from a personal perspective. I cannot recommend this practice highly enough, particularly if you have previously had difficult experiences with other dentists.

Dino M 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr David Cowhig and the team at Dental Wellness helped me optimise my wellbeing! My health was suffering for many years. Persistent sleep problems, lack of energy and an overall immune fragility were just the tip of the iceberg. After many thorough examinations, Dr David identified a chronic infection(s) at the site of 3 root canal teeth. These teeth were removed, the site thoroughly cleaned and 3 zirconia implants put in. All using safe and advanced technology. My health instantly skyrocketed! My sleep, energy and overall sense of physical drive went through the roof. To this day, I am grateful for Dr David, the dental assistants and the whole team at Dental Wellness for the amazing jobs they do. While many others do not listen. Leaving their patients helpless. I strongly recommend a visit to Dental Wellness, the benchmark in holistic dentistry, if you are concerned about chronic health problems. Especially if you have questions about root canal treated teeth. Thanks again to the Dental Wellness team. My teeth look great, and above all, I feel amazing!

I am sorry Roger that I did not see you for an implant consultation prior to you consenting to remove infected teeth. I believe it was offered to you. We did not see you for a year after removal when I gave a complementary consultation and provided a flexible removable solution that you were happy with. I am still sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations.

Jenni Williams 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: David Cowhig is an excellent dentist, he has an extensive knowledge of how the health of teeth impact the body as a whole. I visited many dentists previously including wholistic dentists who weren't as thorough and comprehensive as David and I also visited young 'highly intelligent' dentists who lack a genuine beside manner, years of experience and seem to be caught up in belief systems without validating the patient experience. Thanks to David and his team!

Catherine Coleman 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This business is deserving of more than 5 stars. I can't thank Dr David and his staff enough for the amazing work they have done for me. I went through the process of getting 3 ceramic implants - the outcome was incredible and you can't even tell that I have implants. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you David!

Linda Corcoran 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: After a long history of severe dental problems including failed root canals that harboured large infections, it was nothing short of life-changing to find Dr Cowhig. From the outset there was excellent diagnosis with really clear explanations and a plan to remediate my problems using amazing new technologies. My general health and well-being has improved immensely now that the infections have been dealt with. I feel very grateful to Dr Cowhig and his team, all of whom are all caring, gentle and extremely professional.

Laura Busfield 4 years ago

Negative experience: I had been going to Dental Wellness for a while and had been happy with the service. Staff are welcoming and friendly and it's a calm atmosphere. I was getting my teeth cleaned and checked every 6 months as I have a history of teeth problems. 2 weeks after my latest hygienist appointment, I noticed a large lump in the roof of my mouth behind my front tooth. I booked another appointment to get it checked out and, some expensive tests later, was told that my tooth was dead with a large infection, to the point where it was at risk of killing the tooth next to it as well. Due to the extent of bone loss, they advised I get a root canal, let the bone heal and then get it extracted and have a fake tooth put in. Something that would cost me somewhere around $10,000! Obviously, I went for a second opinion and chose a highly regarded endodontist. After looking at the extent of the infection, he said it could have been there for possibly up to 1-2 years. How did Dental Wellness miss the very thing I was supposed to be getting regularly checked for? I went with the endodontist and got a root canal which cost me somewhere around $2,500. While much more affordable than $10,000, I'm still frustrated when this all could have been avoided with proper checks.

Michael Graham 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: A friend told me about using a mouth guard to sleep better as apparently I’m a clencher and carry a lot of stress. I visited Dr Cowhig and was measured for a guard. I’ve been wearing the guard now for about 2 months and I’m pleased to say it’s working. I definitely feel more energized and wake up every morning very conscious that I’ve been sleeping better. Everyone should have a guard fitted. Thanks Dr Cowhig - well done.

Natalie Cummins 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful experience I had today with Dr. Cowhig and the team at Dental Wellness. I sought out a holistic dentist to assess a root canal I have concerns about. Dr. Cowhig conducted a full history of what may be causing certain health concerns and then went on to assess and conduct tests to ascertain the integrity of the root canal. True to the term ‘holistic’, I came away feeling Dr. Cowhig took a holistic view of my dental health and then subsequently put together a plan moving forward. I highly recommend Dr. Cowhig and his team.
