Special Care Dental: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great care, attention to detail and thorough. Staff are friendly and welcoming.
Fantastic experience: I really like to be a Special Care Dental patient. I had an opportunity to be attended to more than one dentist and every experience was great. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Very professional, friendly and attentive service. I would highly recommend special Care Dental.
Fantastic experience: Took one of my DSS customers for dental appointment for the follow up check up yesterday. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great knowledge and communication of the practitioner is outstanding . Excellent and highly professional service !!
Fantastic experience: Its called special care dentist and that's just what they provide. I've been seeing dentists there since mid 2000s and they have all been respectful and keen to work around my limitations of being in a wheelchair and having a small mouth opening. They think laterally, give me breaks and always come up with a solution. I have and will continue to recommend the practice to friends with and without special needs.
Negative experience: This dental practice markets themselves as being inclusive for people with disabilities. I have a low immune system and asked when I rang to book, whether the dentist would be willing to wear an n95 mask. I was told that their dentists always wear n95s. When I got to the appointment the dentist told me he could not wear an n95 because his face is too big. I had to leave without being seen to. Please don't advertise as disability inclusive if this is not the case.
Dear Wendy
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear about your recent experience and understand your frustration.
Dr. Reid did mention that due to his larger build and facial hair, the N95 mask fit was not ideal. We were in the process of discussing alternative options with you, including rescheduling your appointment with one of our other providers who have been fit-tested successfully. Unfortunately, it seems that there was a misunderstanding, and you left before we could find a satisfactory resolution.
We sincerely regret that this situation led to an unsatisfactory experience. Our goal is to ensure every patient receives the care they need, and we are committed to addressing any issues that arise.
Please contact me directly at 82391711 so we can discuss this matter further and find a solution that works for you. We value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to resolve this issue to your satisfaction.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Fantastic experience: We've had the pleasure of working with Sonya, Dr Adriana and the Special Care Dental team and can see why patients love this practice. Everything they do is for the good of the patient. Their philosophy is about taking a patient-centric approach and helping them through every step of the way, making sure that the patients are comfortable and well looked after, and the team is composed of dentists who exude the same approach. There is a very deep level of sincerity and genuineness with Sonya and Adriana that I don't come across too often with the leadership team of a dental practice. They were also very much on the ball in terms of transparency, communication and promptness, which flows through to the patient experience.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Andrighetto and her whole team are amazing. My dad was holidaying in Adelaide when his denture broke on his 2nd day. Dr. Andrighetto and her team went above and beyond to get my dad's denture fixed within 1.5 days. Thanks Special Care Dental for looking after the wellbeing of my dad and the whole community.
Fantastic experience: The staff are always fantastic and as someone who is generally terrified of the dentist, they always treat me with respect and calmly to make me feel better!

Fantastic experience: Another great experience at Special Care Dental. We have been going there for many years. Dr Chris fitted a bridge in my top front teeth about 1990 and it's still going strong! That's why my wife and I keep returning - and all staff are very dedicated and friendly. Thanks.
Hi Brian. Thanks for the review. It is has been a pleasure taking care of your family all these years.
Fantastic experience: Caring, professional and helpful. I am mostly scared to attend a dentist, since connecting with Special Care Dental I have managed to have my teeth repaired thanks to the commitment and care of the these dentists and their team.
Thank you for your kind review Naomi. We are glad to be of assistance.

Thank you for your trust in us Liliana. We're thankful for amazing patients like you and your family!
Negative experience: UNFAIR CHARGES!!!! I am so disappointed... The place is fantastic, but I was told that the first consultation fee would be $68. The dentist named PAYAL HIRANI told me: no worries, today is just a check up and you'll receive a quote. PAYAL HIRANI has never mentioned that I would be charged for something else - she told me: open your mouth and I'll take an X-ray left and right... I told her that I was a student and had no Health Plan... When I finished, I went to the reception and had a very bad surprise: The total cost was: $148 ($40 each X-ray). The receptionist talked to the dentist PAYAL HIRANI and that's it - I needed to pay! (VERY EASY WAY TO MAKE MONEY). If I had known about it before I would never have accepted the X-ray! Please, be clear with your first visitors!!!! I DON'T HAVE THIS MONEY TO SPEND NOW!!!! They gave me a quote of $1,600. Look the review made by HENRY HODGE, giving a 5 stars, writing 'Amazing'...Do you know who is he? The receptionist who works there!!!! I WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS PLACE! SPECIAL CARE SPECIAL WAY TO TAKE YOUR MONEY WITHOUT ANY CONSENT!!!! Especially at the moment, where people are all struggling with finances, because of Covid19... I hope you all never face hardships in life!!!! ATTENTION CUSTOMERS: if you decide to visit this place, please, just be aware of it and ask them to clearly tell you how much it will cost, so you will avoid bad surprises! With a very deep sadness and completely disappointed I am writing this review! Dan Silva!
