Dentist in Sydney

Can I move between your five locations?
Yes, as multicentred dentists in Sydney, you’re welcome to book an appointment at any location that suits you. Patients do not need a handover or a referral to book at their most convenient My Local Dentists practice. Since our patient database is shared across clinics, treatment plans remain consistent. You don’t even need to visit the same clinic every time.

Is parking available at your dental practices?
Yes. All our Sydney dental clinics have convenient parking either at our dental clinic, on-street or very close by. For example, visit our Sydney dentist in West Ryde, and you can access up to 2 hours of free parking in the West Ryde Marketplace where My Local Dentists is located. Alternatively, our Leichhardt dental clinic has free all-day parking in the Marketplace Shopping Mall where our clinic is located. Our Northmead and Burwood dental clinic has ample street parking. Westfields shopping centre is also very close by to our Burwood clinic where there is plenty of secure parking.

Do you have payment plans?
At My Local Dentists, we’re passionate about ensuring that you can access quality healthcare at prices you can afford. We are the preferred supplier for many health funds, including NIB, West-Fund, Smile.com, and CBHS. In addition, our Sydney dentists offer gap-free check-ups and have Zip Pay available as a payment plan option.

Do your dentists speak languages other than English?
Yes. Our team speaks English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Shanghainese, Hindi, and Marathi. Please let us know if you’d prefer to book an appointment with one of our dentists in Sydney who speaks your native language.

How many dentists work at My Local Dentists?
Here in Sydney, we currently have 14 highly experienced dentists working across our five locations. Besides our highly skilled dentists, we have 14 dental nurses and four dental receptionists who collectively focus on delivering the best dental service for all our Sydney patients.

I’m scared of the dentist. What should I do?
Our compassionate team cares about giving you the best treatment possible. This includes making sure you feel comfortable and confident during your appointment. For some Sydney patients, our gentle approach and friendly service are enough to put those nerves to rest. Others prefer our laughing gas or “twilight dentistry” option that relaxes them for treatment.

What technology do you provide, and how does it benefit Sydney patients?
As a technology-led dentist, Sydney patients should know that we invest in only the best technology designed to enhance treatment and improve patients’ lives. Our lateral ceph machinery is ideal for checking out the finer details of facial bones to assess early problems in jaw alignment or jaw growth patterns. At the same time, OPG is used to safely and panoramically scan the facial structure, including teeth orientation in 3D. Alternatively, our intraoral scanner can scan teeth directly, making for accurate impression taking, thus avoiding the need for uncomfortable and messy alginate moulds.

Do you have any specialists currently working at My Local Dentists?
All our dentists are highly experienced general dentists, but we are also looking to partner with specialist dentists at our Burwood clinic very soon. For our Sydney dental patients, it means they can continue to experience the high-quality service and care they currently receive but may also receive specialist treatment and advice under the same roof without having to be referred.

Why choose us over any other dentist in Sydney?
Because we have a number of dentists with different areas of expertise, it makes it easier for us to treat most patients in-house. For Sydney patients, this equates to convenience and lower costs. We also try to keep our prices competitive and partner with all valid insurances to ensure that you get the treatment you need when you need it most. Finally, we always offer promotional dental treatments and services that Sydney patients can take advantage of.

What if I have a dental emergency?
Please call our Sydney dentist straight away. We know you can’t plan for every eventuality, so we’ve built our appointment system around ensuring we can fit you in when you need us most. In addition, for your convenience, three of our clinics are open until 8 pm several nights a week for regular appointments and emergency bookings.

I need orthodontic treatment; how can you help?
Across our five locations, our Sydney dentists are highly trained in all aspects of orthodontics. This includes the latest fixed metal braces and discrete removable clear aligners like Invisalign, ClearCorrect and SureSmile. Our Sydney dentist will first diagnose the problem and develop a specific treatment plan based on your requirements and case. We also excel in early intervention orthodontics, where we look to treat younger patients early as their jaw develops, thus preventing further problems down the line. All our modern appliances are lightweight, comfortable and durable and can straighten teeth, close gaps and tackle a host of other dental problems that may otherwise cause issues in later life.

Do I need to see a certified specialist (orthodontist) to get braces?
In a word, no! Many experienced dentists here in Sydney have the skills to help you straighten teeth or solve bite issues, and as skilled dentists, Sydney patients should know that we’re no exception.

Occasionally, patients will come to us with more complex jaw or bite issues. In these cases, we will refer you to a trusted specialist orthodontist who can assist you further, but our skilled team can treat your condition in-house for most other cases.

What teeth whitening do you provide, and is it safe?
Visit any of our Sydney dental clinics, and you’ll see that we use Phillips Zoom. Phillips Zoom is a well-known teeth whitening brand with desensitising properties, making it safer to whiten teeth. Experienced dentists undertake all our chairside treatments, so you’re in safe hands. Also, because treatment is dentist-led, the whitening products used contain higher levels of bleaching agent than you would get when buying over-the-counter products. Patients visiting our Sydney dentist for chairside teeth whitening can expect a noticeable difference in just one treatment. In some cases, this can be as little as one hour.

Do you provide mercury-free fillings?
While there is no definitive evidence to support that silver amalgam fillings are unsafe, we always recommend composite white, mercury-free fillings where necessary. Not only do they look more aesthetically pleasing, blending in with your existing smile, but being mercury-free, there isn’t any doubt about whether they are safe or not. To find out more about our composite mercury-free fillings, talk to our Sydney dentist at any of our local dental clinics.
