I was very anxious about going under general anaesthetic for my wisdom teeth removal. But Dr Mark Tuffley, Dr Werner de Wilzem, & my wonderful nurses made me feel super safe and at ease. They are the most kind, caring, & brilliant health care professionals I have come across. Thank you for taking such great care of me; and to the amazing Denticine ladies, a huge thank you to you also for helping me prep for my surgery and everything else in between! ❤️

Such a great experience using Dr Tuffley to remove 3 of my wisdom teeth. It was my first time going under I was certainly a little bit anxious but he made it a lot easier by telling a joke and talking me through it. The next couple days were amazing compared to friends that I know who have had wisdom teeth out, I had very limited swelling and soreness even the day straight away surgery. Everything is healing well and following his cleaning and antibiotics schedule. I honestly will be recommending him to anyone that needs oral surgery.

I can personally highly recommend Dr Mark Tuffley and his team. I have now had two surgeries with him and both times had outstanding results.

I couldn't recommend this team more highly. An excellent, pain-free, and hassle-free outcome for my son, and a highly informative and supportive experience for me as a fussy, nurse-parent. I wish all health care experiences were like this one. Many thanks to Dr. Tuffley and his team.

After putting off having my impacted wisdom teeth removed for 20 years, I was referred by my dentist to Dr Tuffley, who had removed his children’s wisdom teeth. I agree that he is an “immaculate surgeon”. I couldn’t be happier with the six-star experience! I requested to have the surgeries done under local anesthetic and Dr Tuffley’s chair-side manner was outstanding and so comforting. He “released” the teeth two per session. I couldn’t tell when any of them actually detached and had to ask and have a laugh about it. I had no problem with infection or nerve damage and the root holes are naturally filling in nicely. Mark is a superstar and I can’t recommend him and his wonderful team enough!

I recently had 3 wisdom teeth extracted by Doctor Tuffley under general anesthetic. I can confirm, the ocean of 5 star reviews are spot on! If his experience and knowledge isn’t enough, he has a warm and calming bedside manner which is great if you’re nervous about surgery. I recall a few laughs, half a dad joke, and waking up with the surgery done and little to no pain. Truly a wizard at what he does and clearly has your recovery at heart the whole way.Doctor Tuffley’s office provides clear advice on pre-surgery preparation and post-surgery care. Following their instructions along with the use of their prescribed CNM cream, my pain never exceeded a 3 out of 10. All I needed was panadol and never touched the hard stuff (oxy). If you’re looking for the best in Brisbane, look no further.

Dr Tuffley and his team are all very caring, knowledgeable, and professional. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed yesterday, and the pain I'm feeling is very low thanks to Dr Tuffley's skill.He also has great dad jokes.

Wow what amazing people! Dr Tuffley, Del and the entire team are just beautiful people. I felt so cared for and safe. My infected root canal was removed and I had absolutely no pain or dramas after the procedure and it has healed perfectly. I had to change my surgical apt a few times for personal reasons and they were so understanding and accomodating. Nothing was too much trouble and I couldn't recommend Dr Tuffley and is wonderful crew highly enough!

Exceptional Care and Comfortable Experience with Dr. Mark Tuffley and his Team!I recently had all four of my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Mark Tuffley and I must say, my entire experience was nothing short of amazing. From the initial consultation to the surgery and aftercare, Dr. Tuffley and his team exhibited a level of care and professionalism that exceeded my expectations.Right from the first consultation, I felt genuinely cared for and well-attended to. Dr. Tuffley's demeanor immediately put me at ease, and his sense of humor added a personal touch that made the whole experience comfortable. It's rare to find a healthcare professional who not only excels in their field but also possesses the ability to connect with their patients on a personal level.The day of the surgery was surprisingly smooth. Despite being put under general anesthesia, I didn't experience any post-surgery nausea, which was a relief. The minimal pain after the procedure was a testament to Dr. Tuffley's skill and expertise. It's evident that he takes great pride in his work and prioritizes the well-being of his patients.What truly sets Dr. Tuffley apart is his genuine care. Throughout the entire process, it was clear that he genuinely cares about his patients' comfort and recovery.I can't stress enough how much I recommend Dr. Mark Tuffley. His professionalism, skill, and compassionate nature make him an exceptional healthcare provider. I also want to give a shoutout to the front office staff, Dennis and the patient coordinator team. Their friendliness and warmth create a welcoming environment that complements Dr. Tuffley's care.In all my years of seeking medical care, I've never encountered a team that goes above and beyond like Dr. Tuffley and his staff. If you're looking for a healthcare experience that combines expertise, comfort, and genuine care, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mark Tuffley. Get your dentist to refer to him.My wisdom teeth extraction journey couldn't have been in better hands, and I'm incredibly grateful for the exceptional care I received.Big Thanks and Hugs!- Gava.

Mark Tuffley is a hero.I have been struggling with my wisdom teeth for ages and yesterday I went under and he took them out. Everyone in my life told me that I would be in immense pain and swelling for days.The very next day, I am feeling absolutely great. Minor pain, minor swelling, minor trauma.Make no mistake, Dr Tuffley is an artist. He takes great care of his patients because he truly cares. I cannot recommend him highly enough.Not only that but the whole team at Denticine are kind, thoughtful and easy to deal with.1 million stars!!

Exactly 2 weeks ago, i had my 3 wisdom teeth removed by Dr Tuffley. I was first told by a dentist to go with the safer option for my case which is coronectomy, then i was refer to Dr Tuffley. I must say after my first visit to a regular denstist, i felt worried to have my wisdom teeth removed. However, after consulting with Dr Tuffley, he managed to reassure me that there wont be any harm upon surgery. Given the fact of his years of experience and talent I can say that i never had any issues in regards to recovering process. The pain is very minimal. Dr Tuffley is very accommodating especially his staff, he always shares "Dad jokes" which make you feel at ease upon consultation.I would definitely recommend Dr Tuffley to anyone who wanted a oral surgeon for special cases like mine. He is indeed, THE BEST.

Dr Tuffley & Dr Slipper are simply the best. Their bedside manner was excellent. I was very nervous & they were understanding & thoughtful. To the quality of their work … according to the literature & information they provided I am well ahead in recovering from the operation. This says quality work. I cannot speak too highly of these doctors. Kellie in Dr Tuffley’s office needs a mention too. She is as lovely & helpful as Dr Tuffley & Dr Slipper. A thank you to my regular dentist Dr Paul Rollason who referred me to two great healers.

Truly a stress free experience. I had surgery two days ago with Dr Tuffley to remove three wisdom teeth and haven't yet had to use any pain killers, I am completely pain free. In addition no bleeding, oozing or face bruising. From the first consult to waking up in recovery, Dr Tuffley's kind and funny nature has shined throughout his work. Would recommend to anyone who needs wisdom teeth removed. 16/01/2021

Recently I had my wisdom teeth plus others removed in one procedure. Dr Tuffley done such an amazing job, I had no pain, minor swelling and I healed perfectly. Amazing care and patience had been taken by Dr Tuffley & his team. They are all amazing humans!!!! Everyone in his team are very genuine and caring, nothing is an issue, they make you feel like you are the most important person, every time! And Dr Tuffley, he is a sweetheart, he is funny and truly cares. Explains everything, let’s you ask questions and actually listens to you, can be a rare trait these days. The very next day after my surgery I was recommending him and have done so since, I would recommend in a heartbeat. Dr Tuffley is the BEST!!!!!

My wisdom teeth extraction itself was unremarkable - pretty much the degree of post-op bruising and discomfort that I expected from any surgery. However, I would never go back to this doctor - his bedside and consulting manner is frankly bizarre, and I found him very condescending. He also ran late for my consultation, and had another patient's radiographs mistakenly pulled up when I entered the room.(Less important, but my pre-op information package also contained a lot of grammatical mistakes, which doesn't exactly inspire professional confidence, you know?)All in all, I'd recommend going elsewhere.

I absolutely LOVE Dr Tuffley! I can't speak highly enough of him. I had surgery over a decade ago with him, and again recently. He is so kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. He is a real master at his art. He has such a beautiful bedside manner and has always made me feel very much at ease. He has never made any appointment feel rushed and has alway taken the time to answer my numerous questions with compassion and ease. His two beautiful receptionist Angela and Del have been so amazing to deal with too. They are a true asset to the wonderful Denticine team. Thank you guys!

Dr Mark Tuffley is probably the best doctor I have had! He removed my wisdom teeth in Feb this year. Everyone else was too afraid to take them out (including another specialist) because of the permanent risks (nerve damage). He told me that he could do it with minimal risks. He has a great sense of humour too with so many qualifications! He is the best doctor I’ve known which is very rare, lol (FYI, he is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon which means he is the top doctor treating oral problems.) I am recommending a friend of mine to him as she is looking for a good doctor to remove her wisdom teeth now.

Our son recently had surgery for the extraction of four wisdom teeth under the care of Dr Mark Tuffley. Dr Tuffley was extremely professional and kind allaying any fears the patient might have. His skill and expertise were evident in the end result of a good recovery and post operative follow-up. Dr Tuffley and the team at Denticine are friendly, kind and approachable with exceptional skill and internal processes that provide answers to all questions asked by the patient or family members. Dr Tuffley and his team are supportive and professional throughout the process and we thank Dr Tuffley and Kelly for their professionalism. The lead up to surgery and the follow up post surgery are exceptional. We would recommend Dr Tuffley and his team at Denticine.

Thanks Dr Mark and his professional and compassionate team---i will say that i am 110% delighted that my surgery needs were fulfilled --rather than expand on my own complete satisfaction ---i would encourage anyone-- both young and not so young --to arrange a referral to see-- Dr Mark Tuffley in person --- call his dedicated and professional team-- or request a referral--also thanks to the team --for the equally competent and compassionate anesthetist Dr Lee--- kind regards D.J.Smith----have a great day

I sought the services of Dr Tuffley for the removal of my 4 impacted wisdom teeth in March 2021. Dr Tuffley was extremely professional, with the surgery and recovery exceeding my expectations. Not only did I experience minimal swelling post surgery, I also did not need any pain medication post-operation. Thank you Dr Tuffley!

Dr Tuffley is an amazing surgeon.I was extremely anxious having GA surgery to remove 4 wisdom teeth, but I need not have been. The surgery was quick, relatively painless apart from small sting from IV insertion, and once I was awake I never felt any pain until the evening, and even now 24hrs later the pain is still manageable without medication. I may be just lucky, but it's more likely that the Dr Tuffley really is a very skilled surgeon. A perfect 10 out of 10.Would highly recommend.

Dr Mark Tuffley extracted four wisdom teeth for my teenage daughter on 03/12/20. Our experience from initial consultation to surgery day was outstanding! Dr Tuffley and his team were caring, informative and compassionate throughout. My daughter was particularly apprehensive (her first GA) but was put at ease immediately. She felt safe and reassured by everyone involved. Post-operatively there has been no pain, minimal swelling and the healing process without complication. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Tuffley - a brilliant surgeon and remarkable human! Thankyou so very much.

Dr Mark Tuffley extracted five teeth for me on 11/06/2020 and it was such an amazing experience. He was kind, gentle and funny and did such a great job in easing my anxiety. His staff was also remarkable and was always ready to help me all throughout my healing process. I had very little swelling and pain, his cream worked wonders! I was able to transition to eating normally after a week. I would recommend him to everyone I know.

Dr Tuffley extracted two teeth for me on 25/9/20, He is kind, gentle and very professional. His staff are excellent and the communication and empathy from all in the prep, the surgery and follow up have been exemplary. I have very little swelling or pain and his cream works miracles in healing. I would recommend him first to anyone needing oral surgery. You will be well looked after

No words can express my overwhelming gratitude enough to Dr Mark Tuffley and his entire team.We met Dr Tuffley over 12 months ago while dealing with damage to the jaw from radiation treatment for cancer. His smile is contagious. And the love and passion for his work shines bright.Dr T's positive and genuine compassion for not only my husband as his patient by also the on going support for myself as his carer, is something we have not experienced anywhere in our 5 years in the hospital system.With Dr T's professional care and treatment we have been able to repair bone damage that through other doctors we were told was impossible to repair. He gave us hope. He gave us strength to keep positive on this long journey. But no empty promises. Just genuine compassion.Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I've had several appointments with Dr Mark Tuffley and have been very happy with the face to face time and the phone support the surgery offers. I recently had two teem extracted by Mark. I'm amazed at how good I feel. There was no pain, no swelling and no bleeding. I couldn't be happier and have no problems recommending him for any dental work.

Had 3 wisdom teeth and a molar (previously failed root canal) removed after weeks of at times agonising pain. Was expecting to wake up from surgery in some discomfort due to how painful the tooth had been prior to the procedure. To my surpise, I woke up with no pain whatsoever, albeit with some expected jaw swelling and tenderness in biting for a few days after. Now just over one week post surgery and im back to a normal diet with minimal discomfort and nil further complications. Dr Tuffley is a brilliant surgeon with a calm and positive bedside manner, his reception staff are also brilliant. I'll have no hesitation recommending his services to others in the future.

Dr Tuffley is the first dentist I've seen other than my own mother and I can safely extend the same level of trust to Dr Tuffley. Relatively pain free for having all 4 wisdoms removed and definitely appreciate his light touch in operating. His reception and assisting staff are equally as lovely as Mark and if wisdom teeth grew back I'd be sure to go through them again.

Brilliant and superb surgeon. Thanks Mark for your true professionalism for removing a cyst and back molars that were creating a few problems in my mouth. Loved your laid back dry wit and honest attitude which is quite refreshing to say the least, and a big thank you to Sharon and Kelly and Dr Jeffrey Singer my Anaesthetist for all your help.

If you suffer from facial pain, have Temporomandibular Jaw Disorder (TMJ) or Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN), or suspect you may have these disorders I can't recommend Dr Tuffley and his staff highly enough (especially if you have/suspect you have hEDS/HSD). I have suffered with pain for over 20 years and Dr Tuffley has done more for me than any other specialist I've seen in all those years. He's not only been treating me for TMJ but when I recently had facial/head pain so bad that it was debilitating me for over a week and he was able to diagnose, in one appointment, an underlying condition that has been the cause of my pain these 20 years by going through my entire history and symptoms. He was able to recommend the best treatment for it and I'll be starting that ASAP. Save yourself time and stress if you've had bad experiences with other doctors, go DIRECT to Dr Tuffley's office. He's the nicest man, he's compassionate with a wonderful bedside manner, he genuinely cares about you, and his staff including Kelly and Sharon are just the loveliest and most caring people I've come across and they go above and beyond for you. I can't sing their praises high enough. With their help I've got a chance at pulling my life out of this chronic pain nightmare and going back to work in future. They're the best and they have all my gratitude. <3

Wow I am absolutely amazed with Dr Tuffley and all his staff at his practice and especially at the Hospital.. I have had numerous previous bad experiences and this last surgery last week was just awesome.. I would be happy to go in anytime again.. Now that is saying something considering I have a big anxiety when it comes to dentistry.. Thank you Dr Mark Tuffley you are one and only. Oh and along with your colleages they are awesome too.. the best experience to date..

Dr. Mark Tuffley is the best doctor I have seen over my 25 year course of life. He's like crazy funny rock star uncle with great deal of experience. He extracted my teeth yesterday with general anesthesia. I had absolutely no pain at all. Moreover, I have no side effect of anesthesia even as outlined in the scholarly articles. I don't even need anyone to take care of me. I took my shower, do my usual work slept at 3 am and next day I woke up very energetically without any need for after care from someone, I don't even need sleep either. I felt like I am under rush of good chemicals with full of endorphins after taking my teeth out where I should actually be feeling dizzy groggy and with other scary side effects according to medical instruction and scholarly articles. The definition of surgery totally change in my mind with Dr. Tuffley. It is a life changing experience for me. I have living with pain not only having oral pain but a pain on my head which affect my mood during my communication with others and my studies and my career until I met Dr. Tuffley. Life is never been as great as before. I am going to go to him again and I recommend everyone who is afraid of dentistry to Dr. Tuffley. Trust me it feels more hurt to pluck a hair out then knocking a tooth out with Dr.Tuffley. He made me want to take care of my health. His surreal peanut butter is great, his surgical skills are greatest in his time. He is one of the legendary dentist of the Brisbane. I would never say that until my treatment is done.
