and we use disposable materials wherever possible.

Does your service accommodate dentally anxious patients?
Yes absolutely! In our experience dental anxiety is increased when in a dental clinic environment. Having treatment in the safety and comfort of your own home can alleviate the initial nervous feeling. Our team members are calm, caring, supportive and provide professional care when working with all our patients especially dentally anxious / neurodivergent patients.
What if I need a referral to a Dentist?
If your dental needs require the attention of a dentist, we will advise you to book an appointment with your dentist
We do recommend visiting a dentist once a year.
Are Mobile Dental Services more expensive than traditional dental clinics?
Our pricing is competitive with traditional dental clinics.
We aim to provide affordable and accessible dental care,
often offering special rates for group visits at schools or workplaces.
