Yes. Dental care at OHC is provided by dental students from the University of Queensland. A senior,
experienced dentist always monitors the student and your care.
Students are learning and therefore the appointments and overall time for treatment may be longer than
usual.

Specialist dental treatment is provided at OHC for teaching and training purposes only.
Access to this care depends on the training needs of the course and only suitable cases will be accepted
for treatment.
There can be long waits to access this service.

Most care at the OHC is free for patients with concessions.
There are some treatments where you need to pay some of the cost e.g., implants, crowns, bridges and
braces. These treatments are not funded by the public health system.
You will be told if a treatment has a cost before the treatment and will need to agree to it and sign a
financial consent form.
In some cases, you might be able to set up a payment plan to help reduce the upfront cost to you. We will
explain how to set this up before your treatment starts.

Call us on 1800 865 085 if you can’t make an appointment or will be late.
Tell us at least a day before your appointment if you can’t make it. We can offer the appointment time to
another patient.
You may be discharged from OHC if you have missed 2 appointments without letting us know.
If you arrive 15 minutes late, we may not be able to see you.
