Our story

Gentle dentistry in Belconnen, since 2015.

Principal dentist Dr Mei Chen founded Northside Dental in 2015. Since then the clinic has grown into a team of four dentists and two hygienists, caring for families across Belconnen.

What has not changed is the way we work. We are known for gentle care and for looking after nervous patients, with longer first appointments and everything explained before we start.

How we work

Four things we do for every patient.

Nothing complicated. Just the habits that make a visit to the dentist feel calmer.

We explain before we start
Before every step, we tell you what we are about to do and why. You are never left guessing.
We take our time
First appointments are longer, so there is room to talk, ask questions and settle in.
We are gentle
Gentle care is how we work with everyone, from small children to adults who would rather be anywhere else.
You decide
We explain your options and their costs plainly, then leave the decision with you.

The clinic

Easy to get to, and easy to be in.

We are in Belconnen with free on-site parking, so getting here is the simple part.

We open early on weekdays, stay late on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and see patients on Saturday mornings, so a visit can fit around work, school and everything else.
