Townsville Periodontics & Dental Implants

Townsville Periodontics & Dental Implants is a specialist periodontics practice — not a general dentist. The clinic accepts patients on referral from a general dentist for the diagnosis and treatment of gum disease, dental implant surgery, periodontal surgery, and related reconstructive procedures, and is led by an AHPRA-registered specialist periodontist. The practice operates from the Woolcock Centre on Woolcock Street, Currajong, central to Townsville’s western suburbs and within easy reach of Aitkenvale, Mundingburra, and Hyde Park.

What this clinic offers

Clinical scope is limited to specialist periodontics and dental implant work: non-surgical periodontal therapy for gum disease, periodontal (flap) surgery, gum grafting, gum lift and crown-lengthening, dental implant placement, bone regeneration and augmentation procedures, and management of dental implant complications. Cone Beam CT (3D / CBCT) imaging is available on-site for implant planning.

Who it suits

The clinic is appropriate for patients who have been referred by their general dentist for treatment of moderate-to-severe periodontitis, gum recession, recurrent peri-implant disease, or implant cases requiring grafting. It is not set up as a routine check-up or hygiene-only provider, and is not a first-port-of-call for emergency or general restorative care. Patients without an existing referral are typically asked to arrange one through their general dentist or GP before booking.

Practical access

The Woolcock Centre is a multi-tenancy medical and allied-health building with on-site parking. Specific opening hours, wheelchair access details, and language support are not published on the clinic’s own website and should be confirmed by phone before booking.

Health funds and payment

As a specialist practice, item numbers billed are at specialist rates and rebates from private health funds vary substantially by policy. HICAPS on-the-spot claiming is supported. Patients are encouraged to obtain a written treatment plan and item numbers in advance and to contact their fund for an itemised rebate quote.
