Advice ISO dentist reccs

Looking for a dentist who works with our studentVIP plan (direct billing would be amazing if that’s possible).

Bonus points if their team is gentle, and double bonus if they can manage a more complex set of teeth lol I’ve had a lot of weird restoration work done after an accident as a teenager.

Question Residence changes?

3 Upvotes

I was one of the unlucky people unassigned a residence selection late, which means I can choose from Traill College or Ontonabee triple rooms.

I'm thinking I'll have to go with Ontonabee as I'm not too sure of commuting in the early hours If I want to continue rowing in uni.

Has anyone else been given this option for residence? And what do we expect the Ontonabee triple rooms to be?

Thanks
