The Clinic

Our Practice

We are a general dental practice which provides comprehensive dental care of the highest standard to people of all ages. We are preferred providers for Medibank and Bupa and we bulk bill children eligible for treatment under Medicare.

Our records are computerised and we operate a fully paperless clinic. The equipment we have installed is state of the art, ensuring we deliver modern treatments with the best possible outcomes for you.

We use Australian laboratories — rather than overseas ones — for all prosthetic work such as crowns and bridges. We aim to support local Tasmanian businesses as far as practicable.

In our practice, the most important assets are our patients. Our aim is to provide an essential healthcare service to the local community.

“We have sought to make our dental practice the type of clinic we would want to attend if we were the patient.”
