Why Crows Nest locals choose Nest Dental

Close enough to be an errand, not a trip

When a check-up means a special journey, it's easy to keep putting it off. A dentist five minutes from your coffee spot turns it into something you can do before work or on a Saturday morning. We're open 9:00am–5:00pm on weekdays and 8:00am–4:00pm on Saturdays.

No judgement, whenever you last came in

Plenty of people come to us after a long gap. Whether it's been six months or six years, we won't lecture you. We look at where your teeth are today, explain what we see, and agree a plan together, at your pace.

Comfort built into the visit

Noise-cancelling headphones, weighted blankets, and Netflix or TV while you relax. If you feel anxious about the dentist, tell us when you book and we'll pace your appointment around it.

Clear costs before treatment

You'll get a personalised treatment plan and a written estimate before treatment starts. We accept all health funds, claim on the spot through HICAPS, and are a Preferred Provider with NIB, CBHS, TUH, Union Health and smile.com.au, which may reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Flexible payment plans are available.

An experienced team under one roof

Our dentists each have 20 or more years of experience, with special interests across implants, gum health, orthodontics, cosmetic and restorative dentistry. That means most care, from a clean to implant planning, happens in the one Crows Nest dental clinic. Meet our dentists.
