How long will I have to wait?

How long will I have to wait?

First you need an appointment for a full examination which run throughout the year. Contact us to register yourself on our patient management database and an appointment can be made. Once you have undergone an initial examination, waiting times for actual treatment in a student clinic can be discussed with the Clinic Treatment Coordinator. Waiting times vary per clinic. Please note we do not offer emergency clinics to the general public. If you need to see a dentist urgently please refer to your phone book for community dental clinics or private carers.

Who will treat me?

Undergraduate students provide the treatment in most cases. All clinical work is supervised by registered dentists or dental specialists who have an academic appointment with the University. We draw our experts from private practice and government clinics. In some specialty clinics the treatment is provided by postgraduate students.

What does it mean to be treated by a student?

The clinics are a teaching environment and our professionals-in-training may need to take a little longer than an experienced professional. We are focussed on providing the highest standard of care to our patients. All clinical work by students is checked and approved by the academic dental professional in charge.
