Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that look and function like natural teeth. Our keyhole implant technique minimises recovery time while restoring chewing functionality and facial aesthetics. Patients benefit from improved self-confidence and long-term oral health through bone preservation.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet orthodontic treatment using custom-made clear aligners that gradually straighten teeth. This system allows easier oral hygiene maintenance compared to traditional braces while effectively correcting bite issues and tooth alignment for both adults and children.
Children's Dentistry
We provide comprehensive dental care for children including check-ups, cleanings, and emergency treatments. Our Child Dental Benefits Schedule services help eligible patients access essential dental care. Our team creates positive experiences to establish lifelong oral health habits in a child-friendly environment.
Teeth Whitening
Boutique Whitening delivers professional teeth bleaching results through custom-fitted trays and medical-grade gels. Patients choose between day or night treatment options to achieve brighter smiles safely at home. The system provides longer-lasting results compared to in-chair whitening procedures.
Emergency Dentistry
We offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies including broken teeth, lost fillings, and dental abscesses. Our team provides immediate pain relief and stabilisation for issues like knocked-out teeth and soft tissue injuries in a calm, reassuring environment.

Captivate Dental is a great practice with awesome professionals. Personal approach to all patients, the wand needle is painless, fillings and implants are of the highest standard (thank you Gareth) and very thorough teeth cleaning (thank you Belinda). All my family moved to this practice. Thank you all for your great work!

This dentist is amazing. We have seem Dr Gareth Lewell for a plate and it was so affordable and his advice is no nonsense, he only does work if it is needed he doesn't try to sell to you. Dr Teodora is also awesome she is so lovely and good at what she does my teeth alway feel so clean after she cleans them! I feel lucky to have found this dentist :)

Dr Gareth Lewell is one of the BEST dentists I ever had...and I had plenty in my life! I was one of the first patients in Germany who had porcelain crowns when they came out on the market. Germans are known for their quality work and I was concerned I wouldn't find equivalent competent dentists when I migrated to Australia 15 years ago. Gareth has topped my expectations and I've been a patient for more than 10 years now! Highly recommend

I hate going to the dentist, but this was a painless and pleasant experience. Had a major filling replaced - will come back again for more work. The wand (local anaesthetic) is particularly worthwhile if you don't like pain!

I chose Captivate Dental as they offer 'The Wand' needle at a reasonable price. I was holding back from going to the dentist for so long. The experience today was very pleasant for me. From start to finish a professional, friendly, wonderful, stress free experience. I didn't feel the needle at all. I feel fantastic knowing I have overcome my fears with the needle. I'm so happy I've found a dental clinic which is going to help me achieve my goals without the fear! This means the world to me!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!
