Services
Children's Dentistry
Cherrygum Dental specialises in creating positive dental experiences for children. We focus on preventative care, teaching proper brushing and flossing techniques in an engaging environment. Our games room rewards good oral hygiene habits, making visits enjoyable while ensuring early detection of issues. This approach builds lifelong dental confidence.
Preventative Dentistry
Our preventative program prioritises education and early intervention to avoid costly treatments. Regular check-ups, cleanings, and tailored advice help patients maintain optimal gum and tooth health. This proactive strategy reduces the need for restorative work over time.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet teeth straightening using custom removable aligners. This hygienic alternative to braces gradually corrects alignment without affecting daily routines. Most patients achieve desired results within 6-18 months, depending on complexity.
Root Canal Therapy
We preserve damaged teeth through precise root canal treatments. Modern anaesthetics ensure minimal discomfort while removing infected pulp and sealing the tooth. This procedure prevents extraction and maintains natural bite function effectively.
Tooth Whitening
Professional Zoom whitening safely lightens teeth by several shades in one session. Using Philips Zoom's advanced formula, we address stains from food, drinks, or smoking. Results last years with proper maintenance and aftercare guidance.

Troy is a fantastic dentist making the experience relaxing, and even fun. Watch a nature doco while having your teeth cleaned. Play games while waiting and even get rewarded with a goodie bag and toy for kids.

The child friendly environment in the waiting room is fantastic. Perfect distraction for those nervous kiddos. Some computer games and toys for all ages. The wonderful smiling face photography that lines the hallway is beautiful. Dr Troy did a fantastic job of setting my nervous kids at ease, especially my youngest who tried so hard to be brave despite feeling incredibly nervous after a tooth injury 2 yrs ago. The preventative measures are a great way to go thanks Dr Troy! And the mouthguard choices are huge... one happy girl!

I highly recommend this place. My son had 4 cavities and previous dentistry recommended treatment in hospital under total anesthetic, because he wasn't very comfortable in the chair.
Dr Maryam from Cherrygum made him feel very comfortable and happy so we were able to do the treatment under local anesthetic on multiple visits. My son was always happy to go back. The whole team make us feel very welcome and was very helpful. Thank you!

Dr Maryam was AMAZING! Our two kids don’t like the dentist, especially our 6 year old son Eddie who has ASD. She was kind and explained everything she was going to do, she was gentle and gave them plenty of time to adjust and get comfortable. The kids LOVED the free arcade games and play area, the tv to watch and their gift bags and toys after the examination. Dr Maryam was also great with me haha! She has a fantastic bedside manner. Thank you so much! The kids can’t wait to come back!!

My kids have been coming to Cherry gum Dental for years and they love it more and more every time! Both Dentists are very professional and great with kids. Amy at reception welcomes you with a friendly and bright smile every visit. As a business owner myself, every business needs a receptionist like her she is a credit to the practice. Always going out of her way to help the kids and is there for a friendly chat. My kids are already asking when their next dental check is. Thankyou Cherrygum
