About our clinic
Setting a good impression is made easier with a smile. However, if that smile comes with bad breath or niggling pain in the tooth, it may not be so easy to flash those pearly whites.
Whatever your concerns, the team at Bupa Dental Erina understand and are here to help.
Our friendly oral health professionals offer a variety of dental services for you and the whole family, in our modern clinic.
When you first come to visit, your appointment will start with a detailed assessment of your dental health history, which helps our team to understand your priorities regarding your oral health and any concerns you may have already identified.
We’ll then develop a thorough treatment plan, taking into account any immediate needs, as well as any preventative measures you might require, to reduce the chance of more complicated procedures in the future.
Our team will take the time to explain this plan in detail, ensuring you’re aware of all the options available to you and helping you make the right choice for your budget and circumstances.

At Bupa Dental Erina, we wish you all the best during the festive season and hope to see you one more time before 2020 arrives.
