Dentistry forreal life.
You don’t need to know what treatment you need.
That’s our job.
Startwhere you are.
However long it’s been, and whatever brings you in, you’re welcome exactly as you are.
There’s nothing to explain or make up for. Tell us what’s going on, and we’ll start with where things are now, explain what we find and talk you through your options.
No lectures. No judgement. Just a plan from here.
EVERYDAY DENTISTRY
Let’s help small problems stay small.
A thorough exam, a comfortable clean and a clear picture of how things are going. How often you come in depends on you, not a blanket six months.
Your mouth tells a story.
There are known links between gum health and conditions like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's, and pre-term birth, so looking after your mouth is an important part of looking after the rest of you.
Healthy smiles help you eat, speak, learn and keep you looking snappy!
DR CROC · KIDS’ DENTISTRY
Let’s make the dentist fun.
First tooth? First visit.
The best first visit is usually one where nothing is wrong. Your child meets the team, rides the chair that moves up and down, tries on the big sunglasses and counts their teeth with us. No rush, and nothing that needs fixing.
When children only see a dentist once something hurts, the two can start to go together. Regular, relaxed visits keep it familiar, and let us spot little things while they’re still little, when they’re usually simpler to look after.
Teeth can be pretty good little detectives.
We look at teeth, jaws, bite and how things are developing. We don’t diagnose everything. We do know when to look a little closer.
CDBS welcome here.
Eligible children aged 0–17 can access up to the current CDBS benefit cap for eligible dental services.

feel right
If swelling is affecting your breathing or swallowing, or you’ve had a serious injury to your face, call 000 or go to the hospital emergency department.
PROTECTING, RESTORING AND REFINING
Let’s fill in the gaps.
Cracked, worn, missing or heavily repaired teeth can affect how you eat, speak and feel. Whether you’re looking to protect, replace or refine, we’ll talk you through what’s suitable, how long it may last, the maintenance involved, the cost and the alternatives, including doing nothing.
DNTL CODE ORTHODONTICS
Teeth have a habit of
doing their own thing.

The technology behind it.
We’d rather show you what it does than how impressive it looks. Each of these helps us see more, plan better or make an appointment a little more comfortable.
3D imaging
Lets us see structures that aren’t visible on a standard X-ray, helping us plan implants, wisdom teeth and other treatment in more detail.
OPG, Lat/Ceph and digital X-rays
Full-mouth and side-profile X-rays taken on site, showing teeth, jaws and how they relate. Useful for orthodontic, wisdom teeth and implant planning, with clear images on screen in seconds.
Digital scanning
Digital impressions for many treatments, so you can see on screen exactly what we’re seeing.
AIRFLOW® and Guided Biofilm Therapy
Plaque is made visible first, so we know exactly where to clean. Then warm water, air and fine powder remove it, with less scraping.
Calm surgeries
Natural light, TVs on the ceiling to give you something to watch, and cabinetry designed to keep benches clear, so every surface is quicker and easier to clean properly.
CoTreat AI
Helps us keep thorough clinical notes and put together a patient pack after your visit, so you can take your options home and read through them at your own pace.
PATIENT ADVOCATE ROOMS
Room to talk things through.
Some conversations deserve a little breathing room.
That’s why we’ve created private spaces away from the treatment rooms and front desk, where you can ask questions, talk through your options and understand the costs without feeling rushed.
Cost matters. We’d rather talk about it clearly than make it awkward.
HICAPS is available on site for eligible on-the-day claims. Where appropriate, we’ll provide a written treatment plan so you know your options and expected costs before you decide what comes next. Payment options may also be available for larger treatment plans, subject to eligibility and terms.
Readywhen you are
Whether you’re booking something routine, something that’s been bothering you for a while, or you’re simply not sure where to start, our team can point you in the right direction.
