The Townsville Dental Centre (Fairfield Central)

The Townsville Dental Centre (Fairfield Central) is the in-shopping-centre branch of the two-clinic Townsville Dental Centre operator. It trades from tenancy T29 inside Fairfield Central Shopping Centre on Lakeside Drive, Idalia, and shares the same ownership and patient records as the sister practice on Kokoda Street, a few minutes’ drive away. The two clinics share a common service profile; the Lakeside Drive location is positioned as the convenience site, sitting inside an active retail centre with sheltered access and shared customer parking.

What this clinic offers

Service scope mirrors the operator’s main Kokoda Street clinic: general dentistry, hygiene and check-ups, fillings, root canal therapy, extractions, crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implants, cosmetic work (whitening, porcelain and composite veneers, bonding), children’s dentistry, custom mouthguards, and emergency appointments. More complex or longer cases are sometimes coordinated between the two locations to use whichever room is best equipped on the day.

Who it suits

The Fairfield Central branch suits patients in Idalia, Oonoonba, Cluden, Annandale, and the southern bayside suburbs who would rather book an appointment alongside grocery, retail, or post-office errands at the centre. The shared shopping-centre car park and step-free entry from the mall concourse make it a practical option for older patients and parents with prams.

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. Free customer parking is available in the Fairfield Central car park, and the clinic is reached via the main shopping concourse. Wheelchair accessibility details specific to the tenancy 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.
