When you come in for your appointment, you'll have the full attention of our experienced dentists. Most of our team have been with us for years, and we always love to meet new patients and catch up with familiar faces.
During your regular check-up, we'll carry out a full oral health assessment to check that your teeth and gums are as healthy as can be. If we find any problems, we'll explain all the treatment options available and offer advice about how to improve your oral hygiene.
If you do need a treatment, our dentists are skilled in a wide range of procedures, from wisdom teeth removal and dental implants to full smile makeovers. We'll make sure you understand what these treatments involve so you can make an informed decision, and we're always happy to answer any questions you have. Our clinic uses the latest dental technology to help us plan the most efficient treatments, and we accept all major health funds to help keep your oral health care as affordable as possible.

Dr Karen believes dentistry is an important aspect of healthcare and wants to make a difference by helping patients to keep their teeth healthier for longer. Dr Karen has a calm and gentle manner which helps ensure all her patients have a positive dental experience. Advances in materials over the last 25 years mean silver amalgam fillings and metal crowns are no longer necessary. This allows the use of tooth-coloured restorative materials to provide natural-looking restorations and to replace missing teeth.
Dr Karen loves running and has two very active children. As a family, they love discovering what the Sunshine Coast has to offer; however, her favourite activity is taking her stand-up paddleboard out at Cotton Tree. Dr Karen recommends regular check-ups as they are important for the health of your teeth and gums.
