He is a terrible dentist. I needed veneers but he insisted I get crowns. He moved my front teeth over by a millimetre and has ruined my bite. He also did not colour match and made the teeth far too big. If you care about your teeth do not go here. This happened years ago and I am still angry every day. Dont waste your money you will regret it. If I could give minus stars I would

My parents, myself and now my two boys have been going to see Rob Duhig and his amazing team for years. I cannot fault this practice - careful and thoughtful treatment, fantastic for kids/nervous patients and so reasonably priced. I wouldn't know where to go if we didn't see Rob! My two boys don't understand why so many people hate going to the dentist... We don't live locally but are happy to make the trip. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much to the team at Robert Duhig Dental. We were new to the Sandgate area and I could not recommend Robert more. He has an awesome approach with the boys and naturally built trust with them instantly. He let the boys spray him with the water hose and press all the buttons on the chair. The focus here is on patience experience and decay prevention, with years of experience. The boys had headphones to listen to and were super relaxed. Elliot stopped Robert half way through to tell him that this is fun! We have a dentist for life. Thanks again guys!

This is the only dentist for nervous patients! Rob and his staff are extremely helpful and gentle. I chose Robert Duhig dental for my child because I didn't want him to develop a life long fear of dentists and it worked because he now asks when he can go back! I have been to half a dozen dentists in North Brisbane and Rob is absolutely the best dentist I have ever seen. Sandgate is lucky to have him!

WOW! words can't describe how AMAZING this dental clinic is. I found them on google and I made an appointment to go there. One of the BEST experiences I've had. Fantastic customer service, and they really patiently spend time to find a solution to your problems. Thank you so much Rob (dentist) for your kindness and patience, thank you so much Rena (hygienist) who carefully went through my problem with me at the start and gave me lots of information, and thank you so much to Rachael (dental assistant) who was so bubbly and kind and went through the products and assured me that any time I need to
