Our Practice

We offer a patient-centred approach, in a comfortable and relaxed environment
000049479980 72pdi

First established in 1980, the practice has built an excellent reputation for exceptional care with a friendly approach. To accommodate our significant growth and development, we expanded the practice in 2019, enabling us to provide the latest advancements in innovative dental care.

Preventative dentistry is at the heart of everything we do – we want to help you keep your teeth for life. We take the time to listen to you so that we can identify potential problems and understand your individual needs. This way we can give the best advice to help remedy or prevent any issues.

Our objective is to maintain good dental health, function and appearance for every patient using a minimum of intervention. Long term, preventative dentistry means less treatment and therefore, less cost.

We are a “mercury free” practice.  This means that we do not use amalgam fillings (silver fillings containing mercury).  All our fillings are tooth-coloured and mercury-free.

We seek to explain to you

  • What care or treatment is being recommended
  • Why it is being recommended
  • What the benefits are to your oral health
  • What alternative approaches there may be
  • What you can do to improve your own oral health

With you every step of the way

The success of the treatment we offer is proportional to the strength of the relationship we can build with you. We hope to build this relationship by consulting with you at every step of the way.

We offer a patient-centred approach, focused on your individual needs, values and preferences. Your treatment will be guided by your wishes and no work will be undertaken without a full explanation, including cost and consequences, or without your informed consent.

If it is assessed that your treatment needs are beyond the scope of the practice, we can arrange for you, or your child, to attend one of our carefully selected referral practices.
