If you’ve been feeling concerned or worried about your dental health, don’t put off visiting the dentist any longer. Our friendly, experienced team at Bupa Dental Toowong is here to help put your mind at ease.
We understand the crucial role that good oral health plays, not only for your dental health, but your overall wellbeing. We will work alongside you to understand your concerns and priorities for your teeth, and help you achieve your goals.
Remember - prevention is always better than cure, and regular dental examinations can help catch any problems early and help you maintain a healthy mouth.
Our modern, relaxing clinic located in central Toowong offers a comprehensive range of services for your whole family; from regular check-ups and teeth cleaning, through to more involved procedures such as dental implants*, in comfort.
If you are interested in a brighter, whiter smile, our experienced dental team can also discuss cosmetic dental options such as veneers, crowns, bridges and teeth whitening*.
If you’re a new patient, we have a bit to catch up on! So at your first appointment we’ll conduct a review of your dental and medical history, which helps us to understand your priorities and any concerns you may have with your teeth, jaw and gums.
We’ll then develop a personalised oral health plan; identifying any urgent needs, including any preventative procedures that may help avoid more complex issues in the future. We’ll then explain the details, giving you the opportunity to ask any questions, to help you make the right decisions for your circumstances.
Our team of dentists and staff look forward to welcoming you at Bupa Dental Toowong. With many years of experience between us, our caring and highly professional team are here to help with all of your dental needs.
