A practice that fits how Crows Nest lives
When a check-up means a special trip, it is easy to keep putting it off. When your dentist is a minute from the Metro, a check-up stops being a project and becomes an errand.
Crows Nest runs on its village: the cafes and small bars along Willoughby Road. Our practice was designed for the same rhythm: unhurried appointments, a calm studio rather than a clinical corridor, and a strict no-judgement policy whether it has been six months or six years since your last visit.
Dr Carlos Turk and Dr Diana Arcila have each been practising for over 25 years. Dr Arcila has a special interest in periodontics and dental implants. Between them they have seen every version of "I have been meaning to book for ages", and none of it fazes them.

Why Crows Nest patients choose Nest Dental
The Metro changed everything
Since the Crows Nest Metro opened, the station has been about 80 metres from our door. We open from 9:00am to 5:00pm on weekdays and from 8am on Saturdays, so a morning appointment or a Saturday visit barely interrupts your week.
Comfort is engineered in, not promised
Noise-cancelling headphones, weighted comfort blankets, and Netflix or TV while you relax. If dental anxiety has kept you away, tell us when you book and we will pace your visit around it.
Money conversations happen before treatment
Guide pricing up front, a personalised treatment plan and quote before treatment starts, flexible payment plans, and Preferred Provider arrangements with NIB, CBHS, TUH, Union Health and smile.com.au that may reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
