Dentist Sydney CBD

Same Dentist, Personalised Service

At Macquarie Dental, you will see the same dentist every time you visit. It is a simple thing, but it makes a real difference.

When you have a consistent dentist at Macquarie Dental Sydney CBD, they get to know you properly. They understand your dental history, remember what has been discussed in previous visits and can make more informed decisions about your ongoing care. You are not starting from scratch at every appointment, and you are not being passed between different practitioners without context.

We believe personalised care goes beyond just being friendly. It means taking the time to listen, tailoring your treatment to your specific needs and making sure you feel comfortable and confident throughout the process.

Whether you are a new patient or have been coming to us for years, you will always be treated as an individual. No large impersonal waiting rooms, no unexpected changes to your care team, just a dental practice where the people treating you actually know who you are.

New and existing patients are always welcome. If you have any questions about our Macquarie Dental Sydney CBD clinic or treatment options, our team is happy to help.

Invisalign Treatment at Macquarie Dental

As a Platinum Elite Invisalign Provider, Macquarie Dental is among a small number of practices in Sydney CBD that have completed Invisalign treatments at the highest volume and standard recognised by the program.

Platinum Elite status is earned through consistent case completion and clinical outcomes, which means our patients benefit from a team that has worked through a wide range of cases and understands how to achieve reliable, predictable results with Invisalign.

If you have been considering Invisalign and would like to understand whether it is the right option for your teeth, book a consultation with our team and we will give you an honest assessment of what treatment could look like for you.

Six Month Braces

For patients looking to straighten their teeth without committing to a lengthy treatment timeline, Six Month Braces offer a practical and discreet solution.

As a Platinum Provider of Quick Straight Teeth, our dentists have extensive experience delivering this treatment for patients with mildly misaligned or crowded teeth. The focus is on the teeth most visible when you smile, which allows the treatment to work efficiently and achieve noticeable results within approximately six months for most patients.

The brackets and wires used are tooth coloured, making them far less noticeable than traditional metal braces throughout the course of treatment. It is a straightforward option for adults who want to improve their smile without a prolonged orthodontic commitment.

If you would like to find out whether Six Month Braces are suitable for your teeth, book a consultation with our team and we will walk you through your options.

Veneers and Dental Bonding

Porcelain veneers and dental bonding are two of the most effective options available for improving the appearance of your smile. Both treatments can address a range of common cosmetic concerns including chipped, cracked, stained, uneven or gapped teeth, and each offers a different approach depending on your needs, budget and desired outcome.

Porcelain veneers are thin shells custom made to fit over the front surface of your teeth. They are durable, natural looking and well suited to patients seeking a longer term cosmetic result. Dental bonding uses a tooth coloured resin applied directly to the tooth, making it a more conservative and cost effective option that can often be completed in a single visit.

Our dentists will assess your teeth and discuss which option is better suited to your situation before any treatment is recommended.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening is one of the most straightforward ways to refresh your smile, and the results from a clinically supervised treatment are noticeably more effective and longer lasting than over the counter alternatives.

At Macquarie Dental we offer two options to suit different preferences and schedules. Chairside whitening is performed in clinic and delivers results in a single appointment, making it a convenient choice for patients who want an immediate outcome. Take home whitening uses custom fitted trays and a professional grade gel, allowing you to whiten at your own pace from the comfort of home.

Our dentists will recommend the most suitable approach based on the current shade of your teeth, your sensitivity levels and the result you are hoping to achieve.

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is one of the most effective ways to relieve the pain of a severe tooth infection and save a tooth that might otherwise need removing.

Inside each tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, containing nerves and blood vessels. When decay or damage allows bacteria to reach the pulp, infection sets in. Left untreated, it can spread into surrounding tissue and cause a painful abscess. Antibiotics may ease the symptoms temporarily but do not remove the source of the infection.

Root canal treatment clears the infected pulp, eliminates the bacteria and seals the tooth to prevent reinfection. In most cases the tooth is then restored with a crown and can function normally for many years.

If you are experiencing persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to heat or cold, or swelling near a tooth, have it assessed sooner rather than later. Early treatment is almost always simpler and more comfortable than waiting.

Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and bridges are two of the most reliable restorative options for teeth that have been weakened, damaged or lost entirely.

A crown is a custom made cap that fits over a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, strength and appearance. They are commonly recommended when a tooth has been significantly affected by decay, a large filling or a crack. Crowns are typically made from ceramic for front teeth, where a natural appearance matters most, and porcelain or gold for back teeth where durability under chewing pressure is the priority.

A dental bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the healthy teeth on either side. It restores the function and appearance of your smile while preventing surrounding teeth from shifting into the gap over time.

Both treatments are custom made to fit your mouth precisely and are designed to look and feel as close to your natural teeth as possible.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are widely regarded as the most natural looking and long lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, an implant replaces the tooth root itself, which helps preserve the jawbone and maintain the natural structure of your face over time.

The implant is a small titanium post inserted directly into the jawbone. Titanium is used because of its ability to bond with bone tissue, a process called osseointegration, which creates a stable and permanent foundation. Once the implant has integrated, a custom made porcelain crown is attached on top, restoring the appearance and function of the missing tooth.

The result looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth. With proper care, dental implants can last many years and in many cases a lifetime.

Our clinic has an oral and maxillofacial specialist onsite who handles complex implant cases, meaning most patients can complete their treatment with us from assessment through to final restoration.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a reliable cosmetic option for patients looking to improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, stained, uneven or worn. Each veneer is a thin, custom made shell bonded to the front surface of the tooth, designed to blend naturally with the surrounding teeth.

Our dentists take a careful approach to veneer planning, ensuring the shape, size and shade complement your natural smile rather than overpower it. The result is a refined, confident smile that still looks like you.

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers are a practical and cost effective option for patients looking to improve teeth that are chipped, stained, discoloured or slightly uneven. Using a tooth coloured resin applied directly to the tooth surface, the treatment can produce a noticeably improved result in a single visit without the need to remove significant tooth structure.

Our dentists will assess whether composite veneers are the right fit for your teeth and discuss how the result will look before any work begins.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a simple and effective treatment for minor cosmetic concerns including chipped, cracked, discoloured or slightly gapped teeth. A tooth coloured resin is applied directly to the affected area, shaped to match the surrounding tooth and hardened in place, often in a single appointment with no removal of healthy tooth structure.

It is a conservative option worth considering for patients who want a natural looking improvement without the time or cost commitment of veneers.

All-On-4 Dental Implants

All-On-4 is a full arch tooth replacement solution for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, or who are facing significant tooth loss. Rather than replacing each tooth individually, the treatment uses four strategically placed implants to support a complete fixed arch of teeth.

The approach is well suited to patients who have experienced bone loss and may not be candidates for conventional implants, as the angled placement of the implants is designed to make the most of the available bone without the need for grafting in most cases.

Our onsite oral and maxillofacial specialist manages All-On-4 cases from initial assessment through to final placement, giving patients continuity of care throughout what is a significant treatment process.

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry covers the treatments used to repair and rebuild teeth that have been affected by decay, damage or wear. The goal is to restore both the function and appearance of your teeth so that eating, speaking and smiling feel natural again.

At Macquarie Dental our restorative treatments include fillings, crowns, bridges, dental implants and dentures. Whether you are dealing with a single damaged tooth or more widespread concerns, our dentists will assess your situation and put together a treatment plan that addresses your needs practically and at a pace that suits you.

Orthodontics

Crooked, crowded or misaligned teeth affect more than appearance. They can make cleaning more difficult, contribute to uneven wear and impact how comfortable your bite feels day to day. Orthodontic treatment addresses these concerns by gradually moving teeth into a better position, improving both the function and look of your smile.

At Macquarie Dental we offer a range of orthodontic options including Invisalign, Six Month Braces and ClearCorrect, giving patients the flexibility to choose a treatment that suits their lifestyle, timeline and budget. Our dentists have particular expertise in orthodontics and short term tooth straightening, and members of our team regularly train other dental professionals in the latest techniques.

Whether your concerns are straightforward or more complex, we will assess your teeth thoroughly and recommend the most suitable path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Choose Macquarie Dental as My Sydney CBD Dentist?

Macquarie Dental has been a trusted dental practice in Sydney CBD for over 20 years. We believe that access to high quality dental care should not come down to cost, which is why we keep our pricing transparent and competitive without cutting corners on the standard of treatment you receive.

We are genuinely invested in your long term oral health, not just the appointment in front of us. That means giving you honest advice, helping you understand how to maintain your smile between visits and making sure you feel confident about your dental health going forward.

As a way of recognising the loyalty of our Sydney patients, we offer regular discounts on selected treatments, services and products. It is our way of making quality dental care more accessible and of saying thank you to the patients who trust us with their care.

How Does Macquarie Dental Differ From Other Dentists in Sydney CBD?

While many dental practices offer a similar range of general treatments, Macquarie Dental has developed particular depth in two areas that set us apart: orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry.

Our dentists have a strong focus on short term orthodontic solutions and stay at the forefront of the latest techniques in this space. In fact, members of our team regularly train other dental professionals on current short term orthodontic treatments, which reflects the level of expertise we bring to this area of care.

Beyond orthodontics and cosmetics, our clinic is equipped to handle complex oral and maxillofacial surgery onsite, meaning patients can receive a broader range of specialist treatments without needing a referral elsewhere.

We also offer CBCT 3D imaging at our Sydney CBD clinic. This technology allows for faster and more accurate diagnosis, more precise treatment planning and ultimately better outcomes for patients undergoing complex or implant-based procedures.

What Payment Methods Does Macquarie Dental Accept?

We aim to make paying for your dental care as straightforward as possible. At Macquarie Dental we accept the following payment methods:

Cash and credit card
HICAPS for instant health fund claims on the day
All major health insurance plans
Veterans Affairs vouchers
ZipPay and Afterpay for flexible payment options

For treatments over $4,000, we also offer longer term financing through MacCredit, which allows you to spread the cost of more involved treatment plans into manageable repayments.

Patients on the Smile.com.au Dental Plan receive a discount across all treatments at our clinic. If you are unsure whether your cover applies or would like to discuss payment options before booking, our team is happy to talk you through it.

How Can I Pay for My Treatment at Macquarie Dental?

We offer several ways to pay for your dental treatment, so you can choose what works best for your situation.

We accept cash, credit card and HICAPS for instant health fund claims on the day of your appointment. All valid health insurance plans are welcome, and we are a Preferred Provider for both BUPA Members First and Smile.com.au, which means eligible members receive additional benefits and discounts when they visit us.

We also accept Veterans Affairs vouchers and offer flexible payment options through ZipPay and Afterpay. For larger treatment plans of $4,000 or more, MacCredit allows you to spread the cost over a period that suits your budget.

If you have any questions about what your health fund covers or which payment option is right for you, our team is happy to help before you commit to any treatment.

How Many Dentists Work at Macquarie Dental?

Macquarie Dental has a team of experienced dentists covering a broad range of general, cosmetic and orthodontic treatments. Between them, they bring a depth of clinical knowledge that allows us to handle most dental needs in house, from routine care through to more complex procedures.

Our team also includes a certified oral and maxillofacial specialist who manages complex cases including surgical wisdom tooth extractions and dental implant procedures. Having this level of specialist care available at our Sydney CBD clinic means fewer referrals and a more streamlined experience for patients who need involved treatment.

You can read more about each member of our dental team on our About page.

How Do I Get an Emergency Dentist Appointment?

If you are in pain or dealing with an urgent dental situation, the quickest way to reach us is by phone. Call us on (02) 9223 9000 and our team will do their best to see you the same day.

You can also book through our online portal if you prefer, though for genuine emergencies we always recommend calling directly so we can assess your situation and prioritise your appointment accordingly.

Walk-ins are welcome for dental emergencies. If you arrive at our Sydney CBD clinic in pain or with an urgent concern, let our front desk team know and we will attend to you as promptly as possible.

How Often Should I See the Dentist?

For most patients, a check up every six months is the general recommendation. Regular visits allow your dentist to monitor your oral health over time, catch any developing issues early and address them before they become more involved or costly to treat.

That said, the right frequency does vary from person to person. Patients with a history of gum disease, a higher risk of decay or ongoing dental concerns may benefit from more frequent visits, while others with consistently healthy teeth may be well managed with an annual check up. Your dentist will let you know what makes sense for your situation.

Between visits, maintaining a consistent routine at home remains just as important. Brushing twice daily, flossing regularly and staying on top of your diet all contribute to keeping your oral health in good shape year round.

If you are unsure how often you should be coming in, bring it up at your next appointment and we will give you an honest recommendation based on your individual needs.

Please note: any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. We encourage you to seek a second opinion from a qualified health practitioner before proceeding with any such treatment.
