Local people caring for local smiles
Our dentists live in Wide Bay and our ancillary staff have worked in this practice for many years, with strong links right across Childers. When you sit in our chair, you’re being cared for by neighbours.
Our principal has worked in this same practice for more than 30 years and the team is supported by a local implantologist and surgeon, so even complex care stays close to home.
