Looking after your oral health is essential for your health and wellbeing, which is why we begin your first consultation with a comprehensive assessment of the health of your teeth, and discuss with you any concerns or goals you may have about your oral health. This helps us tailor a treatment plan that is right for your individual requirements and circumstances. Our caring dentists are happy to explain treatment options in depth, allowing you to make informed decisions along the way.
We focus on protecting your smile through prevention and early detection of oral health problems. Our goal is to keep your teeth strong and healthy for life, while helping you avoid preventable problems that can be painful (and often costly). To help do this, we offer a wide range of dental services, from basic check-ups to more involved treatments like dental implants. For patients who want both protection and an improved look, we also offer services such as teeth whitening and dental veneers.

Dr Butnejski was the lead dentist at Bupa Dental Adelaide since its opening in November 2015. He was thrilled to move back home to Sydney permanently and join Bupa Dental Hornsby in October 2017. His calming and friendly nature has proved popular with patients at both clinics and he takes pride in providing the highest quality of dental care. In 2017, he expanded his skills in oral surgery and dental implants by completing the Brener Implant Institute Master Clinician’s Program.
Outside of work, Dr Butnejski is a keen basketball player and loves getting to a game of footy (when the Bulldogs are playing). He also enjoys hiking and exploring the great outdoors. Recent travels have taken him to the United States and Asia, but since moving home he has enjoyed more local exploits around Sydney’s northern beaches and the Ku-ring-gai national park.
