Burnside Community Dental Clinic

Jan 3rd, 2023

My experience bringing my daughter was horrible. The 2 ladies who worked with my daughter, especially the main lady didn't handle the situation very well and got very annoyed at my daughter. This sort of behavior doesn't help with kids anxiety as it is regarding the dentist. Not a good place to bring your children if they suffer anxiety around the dentist.

One of the most important aspects of being a dentist is making the patients feel comfortable and reassured. The main dentist here (Sam Brady) fails miserably on that count. On both occasions I went there, he was not only uninterested, but also rude when I posed him concerned queries regarding my dental health and the procedures. I was treated like a machine that needed some fixing- not a person. Not sure he did the job well either. Avoid!

The male dentist I saw (Dr. Brady) was very insincere. No effort to greet or talk to me like a person. He immediately told me that I won't have any teeth in 10 years if I don't get a night guard and stop grinding. Then, unprovoked, he said that my veneer was not done well and looked strange. Every time I tried to talk, he cut me off. His attitude does not reflect the sentiment he boasts about on his private practice's web page. A subsidized community health clinic would be much better off with someone who is more personable and down to earth. UPDATE: I went to see another dentist at Team Dental Riccarton, and after a proper exam, she told me that the wear on my lower incisors is primarily due to my deep bite, whereas grinding is not an issue. I have since seen an orthodontist at Ilam Orthodontics who reached the same conclusion and offered me advice on treatment options. Very glad I got a second opinion elsewhere.
