Experience exceptional dental care with a team committed to preserving your natural teeth and ensuring your comfort at every visit
Serving the community with excellence • All health funds accepted
Galleon Way Dental practices dentistry utilizing the principles of Minimum Intervention. Minimal Intervention Dentistry is a modern dental practice designed around the principal aim of preservation of as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.
Once the dental drill touches the tooth, the 'tooth death cycle' commences. Nothing a dentist does lasts forever and slowly the tooth becomes more heavily filled as time goes on and fillings need replacement. Ultimately tooth loss is the result of this cycle.
The approach of minimal intervention dentistry is centered on management of the dental caries disease responsible for tooth decay, first by controlling and curing the disease, then restoring the tooth, filling only where necessary, and finally prevention from future decay.
Maintain health and diagnose problems early
Early detection prevents costly treatments
Address issues before they become severe
✨ We recommend fluoride toothpaste for all patients
At Galleon Way Dental, we know that prevention is better than cure. That's why we firmly believe and espouse the philosophy of Minimal Intervention and advocate regular check-up and clean appointments in order to maintain health, prevent disease and diagnose oral health problems early.
Unfortunately, most common oral health issues only become more extensive and costly the longer they are left unattended to – sometimes resulting in tooth loss!
That's why it is important to have your teeth and gums checked regularly — it will end up saving you money in the long term.
Digital radiographs are one of the most wonderful advances in dental technology! The clarity and size of the images enhances clinical diagnosis of dental problems. The amount of radiation is reduced up to 70% – so our patients benefit from this!
Immediate viewing of the imaged area with significantly less radiation exposure for the patient.
Better visualization of the area due to your doctor being able to digitally enhance the image on the computer screen.
No processing chemicals or film are needed to view the image resulting in a more environmentally friendly situation.
The state-of-the-art techniques and materials used at Galleon Way Dental enable you to be treated safely and effectively without the use of metals, including dental amalgam.
Porcelain and composite resin can now be readily bonded to tooth structure to give you a long-lasting, aesthetic dental restoration.
Amalgam removal performed with rubber dam barrier to prevent mercury ingestion.
Replace missing teeth without the worry of metal wires wearing on teeth over time.
It is one of our primary aims to make our patients feel as comfortable as possible. We strive to make your dental experience enjoyable and rewarding.

"That was so much easier than what I expected!"
— A comment we hear often from patients who began treatment anxious and left feeling relaxed with a sense of accomplishment.
Whether bringing your child in for their first visit or a regular check-up, you can be assured they will receive first-class treatment with a smile.
Whether you are bringing your child in for their first ever visit to the dentist or for their regular check-up, you can be assured that your child will receive first class treatment.
Our aim is to make every child's dental visit as enjoyable as possible. The highly skilled and experienced staff at Galleon Way Dental will ensure your child leaves with a smile on his or her face.
Our clinicians adopt a 'Tell, Show, Do' approach which encourages participation by the child in their dental treatment. Intra-oral photographs highlight to the child what is happening in their mouth and reinforce to the child their responsibility in helping to correct any problem that might exist. Desensitisation, sibling modelling, behaviour shaping and positive reinforcement are other techniques employed to cooperatively manage your child's treatment.
Clinicians are highly trained in the early detection of conditions which may need early intervention, such as genetically missing teeth, orthodontic problems or malformed teeth and even extra teeth.
Anxiety is a common challenge for young dental patients and the staff at Galleon Way Dental are equipped with a range of treatment options designed to alleviate your child's fear. Happy gas is very well received by children but for those a little more worried, pre-medication with a mild sedative may be the answer. For extreme cases a general anesthetic can quickly be arranged by our friendly staff.
Galleon Way Dental is well equipped to treat patients with special needs. Our staff have special experience with patients with a wide range of conditions.
Wheelchair accessibility to the building and our surgeries ensures no patient need miss out on quality dental care.
In any case of dental trauma, time is of the essence and treatment must be sought as soon as possible to maximize the chances of successful treatment and retention of teeth.
