The Townsville Dental Centre (Kokoda)

The Townsville Dental Centre (Kokoda) is the original full-service location of the two-clinic Townsville Dental Centre operator and trades from Shop 3 of the Fairfield Waters Medical Centre on Kokoda Street, Idalia. It is one of two sister clinics under the same ownership; the other operates inside Fairfield Central Shopping Centre on Lakeside Drive, a short drive away. The Kokoda Street site functions as the main, full-scope clinic and handles longer or more complex appointments.

What this clinic offers

The practice provides full general dentistry — check-ups, scale and cleans, fillings, gum care, root canal therapy, extractions, wisdom-tooth removal, crowns, bridges, and dentures. Cosmetic services include teeth whitening, porcelain and composite veneers, and composite bonding. Implant work, children’s dentistry, custom mouthguards, and bruxism splints are also offered. Emergency appointments are available seven days a week, with Sunday slots by arrangement.

Who it suits

The Kokoda Street location is positioned for patients in Idalia, Oonoonba, South Townsville, Cluden, and the southern bayside suburbs who want a single full-service clinic for the whole household. Extended weekday hours and Saturday morning appointments suit working adults and school-age children. Patients seeking a specifically in-shopping-centre appointment may prefer the operator’s sister clinic at Fairfield Central.

Practical access

Trading hours are Monday to Thursday 8:00 am to 6:30 pm, Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and Saturday 8:00 am to 2:00 pm; Sundays are by appointment for emergencies. The clinic sits inside the Fairfield Waters Medical Centre, which provides shared on-site parking. Wheelchair accessibility details are not published on the clinic’s own website and should be confirmed by phone.

Health funds and payment

HICAPS on-the-spot claiming is supported. Listed health-fund relationships include Medibank Private, HCF “Smiles for Life”, Australian Unity, Defence Health, and Teachers Health. CDBS bulk-billing for eligible children is not explicitly stated on the clinic’s own website and should be confirmed by phone.
