Dentistry that starts with knowing you.
You should know your dentist. And they should know you.
There is a difference between visiting a dental practice and having a dentist you trust.
At Claremont Dental, we take the time to know you - your history, your concerns, your lifestyle and what matters to you.
Because the better we understand you, the better we can care for you.
You get to know us. We get to know you. And together, we look after your dental health for the long term.
Experience
matters. So does
how you use it.
Dom and Kate bring almost 50 years of dental experience between them.
But experience isn't simply about how long you've been practising.
It's knowing when to listen, when to act, when to keep things simple - and when another specialist may be better placed to help.
At Claremont Dental, we believe good dentistry starts with understanding what's right for you, not simply what's possible.
Care that puts
you first.
We don't believe good dentistry should feel rushed, pressured or transactional.
You should have time to ask questions, understand your options and make decisions that feel right for you.
Sometimes the right answer is treatment.
Sometimes it's prevention.
Sometimes it's simply keeping an eye on something.
Our job isn't to sell you treatment. It's to help you make the right decision for your dental health.
Dentistry for real life.
From everyday dental care to more specialised treatment, we're here for the whole journey.
Your dental needs change throughout life. Sometimes you need a regular check-up.
Sometimes you need to restore a damaged tooth, improve your smile, replace a missing
tooth or simply feel more comfortable visiting the dentist.
At Claremont Dental, we provide thoughtful care across a broad range of dental needs - always
tailored to you, your circumstances and your long-term dental health.

We understand that dental treatment is an investment. Our payment options are designed to make it easier to access the care you need while giving you greater flexibility in managing the cost.
Good dentistry is
in the detail.
Good dentistry takes clinical knowledge. It also takes judgement, experience, precision and attention to detail.
At Claremont Dental, we call our approach Dental Artistry - combining skilled dentistry with careful treatment planning, quality materials and modern technology.
Whether we're maintaining healthy teeth, repairing damage, replacing what's missing or creating a cosmetic result, the principle is simple:
Do it properly.
And if the best option is not to do anything at all, we'll tell you that too.
The people behind
your care.
Great dental care is a team effort.
Behind every appointment is a team of experienced people working together to make your care thorough, comfortable and personal.
From Dr Mike and our oral health therapists and dental hygienist to our dental nurses and front-of-office team, everyone plays a part in your experience.
Because looking after you isn't just the dentist's job.
It's everyone's job.
The right care doesn't always happen in our chair.
One of the things that comes with experience is knowing when a patient's needs would be better served by a specialist.
Dom, Kate and the team have strong relationships with trusted specialists across prosthodontics, orthodontics, endodontics and periodontics.
When a referral is needed, you're connected with someone we know and trust to provide the same level of care, attention and detail we expect for ourselves.
Because sometimes the best care we can provide is knowing who else to call.
Nervous about the dentist?
You're definitely not the first person to tell us.
If you've been putting off an appointment because you're nervous, embarrassed or worried about what might happen, you can tell us.
We've heard it all before. We're not here to judge you.
Claremont Dental offers a range of approaches to help appropriate patients feel calmer and more comfortable, including inhalation, oral and intravenous conscious sedation for suitable procedures and patients.
But often, the first step is much simpler: #openup.
Tell us what you're worried about.
We'll listen. We'll explain. And we'll work out the next step together.
A dental practice
for the long term.
Claremont Dental is independently owned by Dom and Kate Etheridge and built around a simple belief:
People deserve to be looked after properly.
Experienced dentists. A great team. Thoughtful treatment. Honest advice. Preventative care. Trusted specialist relationships.
And the time to actually get to know you.
We've been doing dentistry for decades.
We're here for the long term.
Good dentistry starts with knowing the person, not just the problem.
Your health fund. Your choice.
We accept a wide range of major health funds, making it easier to use your available cover at Claremont Dental.
Let's start
with a
conversation.
You don't need to know exactly what you need.
You don't need to have everything figured out.
You just need to take the first step.
Tell us what's happening. We'll take it from there.
