I visited this clinic initially to replace a broken filling, & was advised to get a crown on the tooth. The whole process took over 4 months & I spent over $2000. The crown had not even arrived on the appointment when I first went to have it fitted, & then when it did arrive it did not fit & had to be remoulded. I found some of the dental work on that appointment painful, & following appointments were delayed due to aching in the tooth. On the final appointment, the healthy tooth adjacent to the crowned tooth was also partially ground to fit with the crowned tooth & I have since had sensitivity

Seriously the best dental nurses and dentists there, I was super worried about going in due to leave my issue for so long but they were great to deal with and made it so much easier than I had thought it would be. Thanks ladies

More than happy with treatment but more transparency needed with costs. After an examination, I should have been informed of all costs before treatment was executed, especially deep clean.

Today I had 2 fillings done by a fantastic dentist called Michael. He did a fantastic job and took into consideration my needle phobia. Such a gentle and great job, I'll be back. It's hard to find a good dentist these days.

Very disappointing. Staff were initially friendly, but when the dentist revealed to me the cost of my treatment would be close to a month's rent, my admission that I didn't have enough money to pay had me out the door like old rubbish. I have a congenital condition which predisposes me to terrible dentition, but was treated like some kind of drug addict with poor oral hygiene. They even had the gall to charge me over a hundred dollars for this experience. I was left in tears and an even worse financial position to pay for much needed dental work. A little bit of niceness and human compassion goes

My whole family are very happy with the service we received from the dentist at Miners Dental Clinic. I have always had a fear of going to the dentist, but not this time, the dentist was patient and reassuring. The service I received was pain free and everyone there was so kind. We will definitely make it our families Dental Clinic. Very happy.
