About Anastasia Dental
At Anastasia Dental, we offer a warm, welcoming environment where each patient is an individual with their own dental health needs and personal concerns.
As a team we place your trust, confidence and comfort as our priority, and collaborate with you to maximise your dental health and hygiene for the longer-term. Whether it is a routine check-up, or a more comprehensive treatment, such as wisdom teeth extraction or placement of a crown, you will be consulted on what the procedures entail, and importantly, what they will cost, prior to us starting treatment.
We will also advise and work with you on a strategic preventative dental program based on best-practice oral hygiene and regular scheduled check-ups, to maximise your long-term dental health and minimise unplanned dental emergencies.
We understand that some patients, and particularly those new to the practice, may experience differing levels of anxiety over their treatment. That’s why we work with you to ensure you are comfortable and help overcome any fears.
