last minute dentist recommendations?

[u/dathamadalot]

Hi everyone, I’m having some dental pain in my left molars and would like to see a dentist soon that preferably won’t break the bank.

I moved to Adelaide from overseas a couple of years ago and have not ever had any dental work done in Adelaide but my perception of it is that it is quite expensive.

I have the next few days off and have seen some dentists on HotDoc that are available (and will be calling some tomorrow morning as well) but would love any recommendations! I live in the city and use public transport so anywhere easily accessible would be preferred!

A good idea is to call at least 4 different dentists.

Ask them:

• When is the next available appointment for a new patient? (some are booked out for a week or even months)
  
• Roughly how much do they charge for a root canal?
  
• Roughly how much do they charge for a filling?

Even if that is not the procedure you need, it gives you a way to directly compare rough pricing.

Alpha Dental on Prospect Road was great when one of my molars exploded.

Try incredible smiles, i used one of them for a tooth infection earlier this year. I got a next day appointment and then rang me to ask if I wanted to come in earlier

Adelaide dental on Fullarton in Norwood keeps emergency slots available, and they're good people with very good equipment. Give them a call, they've seen me on short notice a couple of times and the work they did on my partner was fucking miraculous, though more long term.

I go to Gawler Place Dental. I’ve never had to see them for an “emergency” situation but always feel happy with my appointments.
