Services
Preventive Care
Regular dental checkups, oral cancer screenings, and professional cleanings form the foundation of our preventive care. We provide tailored oral hygiene instruction and use advanced diagnostics like X-rays to monitor gum health and detect early issues. This proactive approach helps patients maintain optimal oral health and avoid complex treatments.
Emergency Dental Care
We offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies including toothaches, abscesses, broken teeth, and lost fillings. Our experienced team addresses trauma and sports-related injuries promptly. Complex cases requiring specialist intervention are assessed and referred while providing immediate pain relief and stabilisation.
Dentures
Custom-fitted complete and partial dentures restore function and aesthetics for missing teeth. We provide repairs, relining, and modifications for existing dentures. Our acrylic and metal-framework options ensure durability and comfort, with assessments to determine the most suitable solution for individual oral conditions.
Root Canal Therapy
Specialised treatment for infected or damaged tooth nerves spans 2-3 visits. We use advanced techniques to remove infection, preserve natural teeth, and prevent systemic spread. Cases requiring specialist endodontic care are identified early and referred while maintaining patient comfort throughout the process.
Mouthguards
Custom-fitted mouthguards protect teeth during contact sports. Made to Australian Dental Association specifications, these guards offer superior fit and protection compared to over-the-counter versions. Available in multiple colours and thicknesses, they're tailored to individual dental structures for maximum effectiveness.

Report
Michael Lakkis is a fantastic dentist. Pain is a thing of the past, at most you may experience slight discomfort. Michael explains everything with patience and clarity. There's no reason to put off attending to your dental health as flexible payment terms are available. Wonderful supportive staff and professional service are what you can expect when you walk through the doors.
