We're Back and We've Missed Your Smile!

The smiles keep on coming! The Government announced this week that the States can begin to operate under Level 1 Restrictions.

What does this mean for you?

This enables dental professionals to perform the full range of dental services whilst continuing to practice under the highest levels of safety and infection control including specific COVID-19 additional measures.

It is important to continue to maintain your regular check-ups with your dentist in order to avoid major and sometimes costly dental treatment in the future. If you have had an appointment rescheduled due to COVID-19 restrictions please call 02 9449 9366 or book online to reschedule your appointment. Weâ€™ve missed your smile!
