Promoting dental education, hygiene treatment, identifying risk factors and detecting problems early. Routine treatments ranging from dental hygiene to fillings with a minimally-invasive approach.
Crowns are used when rebuilding broken down teeth as a way to strengthen them, especially after a tooth has been root filled, and as a method to improve the aesthetic appearance of a tooth.
We provide a comprehensive denture service including provision of full and or partial dentures as well as adjustments, relines and repairs.
Dental implants are a long-term tooth replacement option that can look, feel and function just like the real thing.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are a set of four teeth that erupt into the back four corners of the mouth. This usually occurs between the ages of 17 to 21. Not everyone needs to have his or her wisdom teeth out but if they are causing discomfort it is recommended to have them reviewed by the dentist.
We will create a treatment plan for a Smile that suits you and your individual needs.
Digital intra oral x-rays help us diagnose and plan treatment. OPG or full mouth x-ray is also offered in our practice - they give a good overview of teeth, jaw bones and temporo-mandibular joints (TMJ).
We offer dentistry for children like no other. Whether it is for a check up, broken tooth or Interceptive treatment, we have your child's best interest at heart.
Custom fitted mouthguards are recommended by the dental profession as they are the most effective in preventing injuries to the teeth and jaws. They are constructed in the surgery directly from an impression taken of your teeth and will fit firmly and comfortably over your teeth. We also offer personal customisation.
Hailing from Brewarrina, Charlie graduated with a Bachelor of Dentistry (Honours) from the University of Sydney in 2014. He moved to Cobar with his wife Caroline, who is also a dentist, in 2015 who also wanted to escape the city and service Western New South Wales. They have loved every day since.
Given the vast distances to the nearest dental specialists Charlie has acquired a skill set rapidly to be able to solve problems for his patients to save them the long travel times.

Charlie enjoys restorative dentistry, prosthodontics, endodontics and orthodontics and has a broad range of skills in all other areas of dentistry. He is a member of the Australian Dental Association and frequently attends meetings and courses to stay abreast of the exciting changes in the dental world.
Dr Caroline graduated in 2013 from the University of Sydney with honors. After 1 year in the public sector, she moved to Cobar, originally committing to 2 years, she now has plans to try out becoming a local.
She enjoys all aspects of dentistry with an interest in oral surgery and implants. She also spends most of her spare time in the pre-season making custom mouthguards to protect our youngest sports stars.
Outside of dentistry, Caroline is actively involved in the local community and enjoys the lifestyle that regional living offers. When she's not at work, you'll usually find her spending time with one, two, or all three of her children, who keep her busy with their many activities and adventures.
