Material and Methods: This pilot pathfinder survey was conducted at Dental and Oral Health Services in Bantaeng and Pa'jukukang Sub-districts of Bantaeng Regency of South Sulawesi Indonesia. The Short-Form Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18) scaled was used and it consists of 18 questions and seven subscales. The t-test and ANOVA were used with a significance level set at 5% (p<0.05). Results: The female participation (72.8%) was greater than the male (27.2). Regarding age, 74.6% were <40 years, 21.1% were between 40-60 years old and 4.4% were over 60 years old. On the subscale of technical quality, there was significant value in the age variable (p=0.45), education level (p=0.031), job (p=0.026), waiting time (p=0.46), distance to dentist=0.026), and location (p=0.007). There were significant values on the interpersonal aspect subscale that were present at age (p=0.016), education level (p=0.038), and occupation (p=0.007). The highest satisfaction score was found on the technical quality subscale (13.04 ± 1.75) and the lowest satisfaction score was seen on the general satisfaction subscale (4.11 ± 1.75).
