What sets us apart
You'll actually feel comfortable
We slow down, explain everything, and never push treatment you don't need. Most patients tell us it was nothing like they expected.
No waiting weeks for an appointment
New patients are usually seen within days. Emergencies are seen the same day. Your time matters.
Know the cost before you commit
We give you a full written treatment plan with costs before anything starts. No surprises on the day, ever.
Your health fund works harder here
On-the-spot HICAPS claiming with all major funds. You walk out paying only the gap — no forms, no waiting.
15 years, 10,000+ patients
We've been doing this long enough to handle anything — and to know that trust is earned one visit at a time.
Technology that reduces guesswork
Digital X-rays, 3D imaging, and intraoral cameras mean we catch problems early and explain them clearly.
Safe for the whole family
From kids' first check-ups to complex restorations, we treat every age group with the same level of care.
We don't disappear after treatment
We follow up, we remember your history, and we build long-term plans that protect your smile for life.

your smile?
Book your consultation today. New patients welcome.
Cost should never stop
you getting care.
We work with all major health funds and offer flexible payment plans so nothing stands between you and a healthier smile. Payment is required on the day unless prior arrangements have been made.
We also ask for at least 24 hours notice for cancellations so we can offer that time to another patient in need.
HCF, NIB & Defence Health
As a Members Choice provider, we charge discounted rates agreed with your fund. You receive your maximum rebate at every visit and only pay the gap — with potential for gap-free check-ups and cleans twice a year, subject to your cover level.
Contact your health fund to confirm your entitlements.
Gold & White Card Holders
Gold Card holders are bulk billed with no out-of-pocket cost. White Card holders with DVA pre-approval may also be eligible. The program covers preventive, restorative, complex and emergency dental care. An Annual Monetary Limit of $2,643.25 applies to some high-cost items.
POWs and service-related conditions are exempt from the AML.
Child Dental Benefits Scheme
We bulk bill under the CDBS for eligible children aged 2–17. The scheme provides up to $1,000 per child over a two-year period for examinations, X-rays, cleans, fillings, root canals and extractions. Eligibility is based on receipt of Family Tax Benefit Part A.
Orthodontic and cosmetic services are not covered under the CDBS.
