Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted porcelain veneers enhance smiles with natural translucency and durability. Our in-house ceramist ensures precise colour matching and shape adjustments for seamless integration with facial aesthetics. Ideal for correcting chips, stains, or misalignment while preserving tooth structure through minimal preparation techniques.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using removable, transparent aligners. Our facially-driven approach combines 3D Clincheck planning with aesthetic principles to achieve optimal alignment. Suitable for correcting crowding, spacing, and bite issues across all age groups with minimal lifestyle disruption.
Teeth Whitening
Customised whitening solutions address intrinsic and extrinsic tooth discolouration. We offer in-chair Zoom treatments and take-home kits using professional-grade formulas. Our protocols ensure safe, long-lasting results while minimising sensitivity through tailored application techniques.
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns restore damaged or weakened teeth with natural aesthetics and structural integrity. Using advanced CAD/CAM technology, we create precise restorations that mimic natural tooth morphology. Indicated for fractured teeth, post-root canal protection, or severe wear cases.
General Dentistry
Comprehensive preventive and restorative care for all ages, including check-ups, cleanings, and children's dentistry. Our conservative approach focuses on early intervention and education to maintain lifelong oral health through regular monitoring and minimally invasive treatments.

Questions
What makes your porcelain veneers different from other clinics?
Our veneers combine facial aesthetics with hand-crafted ceramics from our in-house master ceramist. We prioritise natural translucency and age-appropriate design over uniform 'Hollywood' looks, ensuring seamless integration with your unique features.
How does the Invisalign process work at your clinic?
We use 3D Clincheck simulations for precise planning, followed by custom aligner fabrication. Monthly check-ups monitor progress, with refinements made as needed. Most cases include complimentary whitening for final aesthetic optimisation.
Are payment plans available for cosmetic treatments?
Yes, we offer ZipMoney interest-free plans and staged payments. Full upfront payments receive 5% discounts. A $170 consultation deposit reserves your cosmetic assessment appointment.
What emergency dental services do you provide?
We handle broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, and severe dental pain outside regular hours. Our team provides immediate stabilisation followed by definitive treatment planning during normal business hours.
How do you ensure long-lasting veneer results?
We use layered ceramics for durability, provide custom nightguards for bruxism patients, and recommend six-monthly check-ups. Proper oral hygiene and avoiding excessive force on veneers help maintain their longevity.
Can children receive dental care at your practice?
Yes, we specialise in paediatric dentistry with child-friendly consultations. Early intervention helps prevent future issues, and our team creates positive experiences to establish lifelong dental habits through engaging, non-threatening approaches.

Walked in with excruciating pain without an appointment. Absolutely overwhelmed with the caring reception staff, and with in 20 mins had analgesia and appointment made for extraction within an hour and a half. Dr Shaun (extremely caring), Dental assistant Nein and staff were exceptional. Will definitely be making this my regular dentist.

I did a LOT of research and attended several cosmetic dentistry's for a consultation before finally landing on The Dental Room.
Dr Rama was attentive and empathetic to my scenario, after suffering a cycling accident where my precious, perfectly in-tact two front teeth were broken, and I'd had work done at my local dentist to repair them. However, I just couldn't trust my local general dentist with such an important, and difficult, task of crafting the important two front teeth to naturally match the remainder!
Shawn and Chloe are a power duo - Chloe was very attentive to crafting the two veneers

I flew from Sydney to visit the dental room, after seeing the various natural looking veneers that they showcase on Instagram, I knew I wanted to upgrade from my bulky bonding. From day 1 the staff were so kind and accomodating. Chloe the in-house ceramist is AMAZING, I wanted a particular tooth shape; square, and wider then my existing teeth, she was realistic about my expectations, yet exceeded my expectations. After wearing the temporary veneers for 3 days there were a few changes I wanted made, I wanted the teeth to be a little wider, so I came in on a Sunday when Chloe was creating my new
