Family Dentistry
We consider the whole family unit; from toddlers, young and school-aged children, teenagers, adults and the elderly.
We participate in government funded dental schemes including: the Federal Government's veteran's affairs scheme, EPC scheme and teen dental programme; and we treat patients on the Tasmanian Government's general care waiting list.
Services
Our dedicated professionals are committed to providing the highest quality services and solutions to all our patient needs. We treat all aspects of general dentistry, including preventive care, fillings, crown and bridgework, porcelain veneers, dentures, tooth whitening, implants, root canal therapy, periodontal management, pain management and surgery including extractions.
Certain treatments require specialist care. If this applies, we are happy to refer our patients to our trusted specialists because this enables them to receive the highest quality care possible. This is the most important outcome.
