The practice is part of the National Dental Care group, an Australia-wide network of dental clinics, and has served the Thuringowa corridor for more than twenty years.
What this clinic offers

Listed services include root canal therapy, crowns and bridges, dental implants, gum-disease treatment, wisdom teeth removal, Invisalign clear-aligner orthodontics, and emergency dental care. The branch lists Bupa, Medibank, HCF, nib, HIF, Australian Unity, CBHS, Defence Health, and Teachers Health among its preferred-provider funds, with HICAPS on-the-spot claiming for most other major funds.
Who it suits
Kirwan, Thuringowa Central, Condon, and Rasmussen residents who want a practice with a wide service mix in one location, including patients who would otherwise be referred elsewhere for implants or aligner orthodontics. Spanish-speaking patients are accommodated. The Saturday morning slot makes the clinic accessible to working patients who cannot attend during weekday business hours.

The clinic operates Monday to Friday 8:00am–5:00pm and Saturday 8:00am–1:00pm, with alternate Saturdays advertised on the chain website. Free on-site parking is available, the building is wheelchair accessible, and the nearest TransLink bus stop is approximately a two-minute walk away.
Health funds and payment
As a National Dental Care preferred-provider site, the clinic offers in-network rates for Bupa, HCF, Medibank, nib, and several smaller funds. HICAPS supports on-the-spot claiming for non-preferred funds. Bulk-billing is available for eligible children under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), and the practice accepts Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) cards.
