Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services focus on preventive care and restorative treatments to maintain optimal oral health. From checkups and cleans to dental fillings and root canal therapy, we use advanced technology like digital X-rays and laser dentistry to ensure precision and comfort. These services are designed to detect early issues, prevent decay progression, and restore functionality while preserving natural tooth structure for long-term dental wellness.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Specialising in aesthetic transformations, our cosmetic dentistry services include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and smile makeovers. Using CEREC same-day crowns and digital smile design, we create custom solutions that enhance confidence through natural-looking results. Treatments address discolouration, misalignment, and structural imperfections while prioritising minimally invasive techniques to maintain tooth integrity and achieve lasting beauty.
Orthodontics
We offer comprehensive orthodontic solutions for children and adults, including traditional braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners. Our approach combines 3D imaging technology with personalised treatment planning to correct bite issues, crowded teeth, and spacing problems. Early intervention options help guide facial development in young patients, while adult treatments focus on discreet alignment improvements that enhance both aesthetics and oral health function.
Dental Implants
Our dental implant services provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium post placements and custom crowns. Using Navident-guided surgery and 3D cone beam imaging, we ensure precise implant positioning for optimal aesthetics and functionality. The process includes bone grafting when necessary and same-day crown fabrication, offering a complete restoration that mimics natural tooth structure and bite mechanics.
Emergency Dentistry
Available for same-day treatment, our emergency dental services address acute pain, trauma, and infections. Equipped with advanced diagnostic tools and pain management systems like The Wand, we provide rapid relief for broken teeth, abscesses, and other urgent conditions. Extended weekday hours ensure timely access to care, with immediate interventions focused on preserving dental health and preventing complications.

Report
I was recommended to Smile Central and could not be happier with the service. Chris, Amanda and the team were very welcoming, on time and professonal in their work. Whhle in the chair, Chris was very accomodating ensuring I was comfortable as the procedure went on. Thank you Chris and the team.

Report
Very disappointed. Was so happy to start the treatment, Chris showed me some sequence representing the future movements of my teeth. After almost a year and almost $2,000, end of the treatment, nothing happened. And I have been told that I got a discounted price so I couldn't expect more teeth movement. I never ask to a dentist to get discount and cheapest treatment, for sure I asked for a quote but doesn't mean discount. I left in tears, have been told to come back to find an arrangement but the trust was broken.

I had been avoiding a dental visit for years now but after a tooth ache I did a quick search in my area and picked this place. So happy my random selection was successful as Chris found the issue straight away and was able to help me out there and then. It was quick, easy and virtually painless! Even got to watch some Netflix while Chris did his thing which made it easier to relax. Would highly recommend to anyone who is fearful of the dentist cause this place will soon make any fears disappear. Thanks again to the team at Smile Central Dentist.

I had an incredible experience with Chris and the team. The receptionist was very welcoming, and the dental assistant was extremely helpful. Initially I was anxious to attend the dentist, but was made to feel at home the moment I entered Smile Central. I highly recommend this location, and actually look forward to visiting again.

Chris and his team are marvelous and have a modern, painless practice. I have had 2 crowns and a root canal over the years and no pain. The regular check ups and fabulous hygienists mean my teeth are white and healthy all year round.
