Services
General Dentistry
Our comprehensive general dentistry services include examinations, professional cleans, fillings, extractions, and preventive care. We focus on maintaining optimal oral health through regular check-ups and early intervention strategies. Patients receive personalised advice on home care routines and dietary considerations to prevent dental issues.
Dental Implants
Implant dentistry offers permanent solutions for missing teeth, combining titanium posts with custom crowns for natural function and aesthetics. Our team provides full surgical placement and restoration in-house, with competitive pricing for single or multiple implants while maintaining strict quality standards.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers transform smiles by correcting discolouration, chips, and alignment issues. We offer tiered pricing based on quantity, with discounts for multiple applications while ensuring minimal enamel removal and long-term durability through premium materials.
Crowns and Bridges
Custom crowns restore damaged teeth while bridges replace consecutive missing teeth. Using high-strength materials, our restorations blend seamlessly with natural dentition. We provide detailed consultations to determine whether individual crowns or bridge work best suits each patient's needs.
Facial Rejuvenation
Non-surgical facial treatments complement dental services by addressing wrinkles and skin texture concerns. Our approach focuses on subtle enhancements that maintain natural expressions, with consultations explaining available options while adhering to strict regulatory guidelines for patient safety.

Competent professional staff. I had a complex issue which was sorted promptly at a fraction of the cost that I thought that I was up for. Thankyou Dr Luke and Dr Alex and thankyou to the pleasant caring staff assisting. It is a bonus that this clinic is open of a Saturday.

We have been wit LDD for years and always found they are professional and friendly.However in the past 12 months or so, one of the girl at the front, Alisha or something has always been rude to us. Maybe someone needs to retrain her in customer service. I have seen another feedback about her and my friends told me the same.

I chose Luke Dunn for my my porcelain veneers because they charge half what everyone else in Cairns charge. I was terrified of getting it done, but Dr Alex was simply amazing. I barely felt a thing, I was relaxed and happy, and even laughed a lot. I never thought I would actually enjoy myself at the dentist. I can't recommend Dr Alex highly enough, she's a total dream, especially if you're a nervous dentist-goer!
