Respect Dental is a dental service provider that offers affordable, flexible and comfortable dental treatment that comes to you. We specialise in dental care for the elderly, those with accessibility issues and nervous dental patients.
Our aim is to provide a service that is accommodating, calming, and most of all; respectful.
About Us
My name is Claire and I am a registered Dental Therapist and Hygienist with over 38 years of experience in performing preventative and restorative dental care throughout Australia.
In 2018 I founded Respect Dental, with the goal of bringing vital dental services to the ageing and anyone else that, for various reasons, find it hard to regularly visit a traditional dental practice.
We cater in Dental care for;
People who work in the CBD short on time
People wanting to retain their natural teeth and minimise intervention
Those with accessibility issues
Nervous dental patients
The Elderly
How do we do this? We have built a brand new dental suite in the CBD and utilise a high-end portable dental system that allows us to visit patients and deliver dental services to them wherever they choose, whether that be in the comfort of their own home, an aged care home or retirement living facility.
Our goal with Respect Dental is to further promote preventative dental work across sectors of the community that are often hard to service with traditional current dental practices. We know that oral health is extremely important to the general health and wellbeing of everyone, but too often this area is overlooked in later life and where people are troubled by accessibility issues.
