Dentist near Darling Heights
Southside Dental is the closest full-service practice to much of Darling Heights and the UniSQ campus — an easy drive east along Alderley Street or Stenner Street to The Ridge Shoppingworld, with free parking.
Getting here from Darling Heights
From the UniSQ end of the suburb on West Street, head south to Alderley Street or Stenner Street, then east — both run straight through to Hume Street. The Ridge Shoppingworld is on the corner of Hume and Stenner, and the trip is usually around eight to ten minutes outside peak times. From the streets south of the campus near the Toowoomba Bypass, Stenner Street east is the more direct route.
Turn into the centre from Hume Street or Stenner Street and park in the main car park — free, with no time limit pressure, and accessible bays near the doors. We're Shop 17 at ground level. Buses along Stenner Street and Hume Street stop at the centre if you're coming from campus without a car.
Students, staff and families
Students on a budget
Our $199 new patient offer covers the full examination, X-rays and a plan. Treatment can be spread with Zip or Afterpay for smaller amounts, and health fund extras are claimed on the spot.
Appointments around timetables
7am starts Tuesday to Friday and 7pm finishes Tuesday to Thursday — fit a visit in before lectures, between shifts, or after work.
Been a while? No lecture.
Moving for study often means the dentist slips. We see plenty of people who've had a gap — judgement-free care is what we're built around.
What Darling Heights patients book most
With the campus and a large rental population nearby, we see a lot of overdue check-ups, wisdom teeth assessments and removals for people in their late teens and twenties, and emergency visits for toothache that's been put off too long. Families in the established streets around the suburb book children's visits (bulk billed under the CDBS for eligible kids) and routine fillings, and we provide the full range of cosmetic and restorative dentistry too.
For dental emergencies outside opening hours, SMS 0451 442 722 and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
