Dentistry without the hurry.
A two-surgery practice on Cavendish Road, Coorparoo. Longer appointments, the same dentist every visit, and a written estimate before anything begins.
The practice stayed small on purpose.
Ashworth Dental opened as a two-chair practice on Cavendish Road, Coorparoo in 1998, and it is still a two-chair practice. Every offer to add a third surgery, or a second site, has been turned down. Two dentists means you see the same one every time, and neither of them is managing five other branches by phone.
The forty-minute first appointment is not a marketing figure. It is roughly how long it takes to look properly, take a history, and explain what is actually wrong before anyone reaches for a drill. Staying small is the only way the practice has found to keep that time free.
Three things, done thoroughly.
We are a general practice. We do not sell courses of treatment nobody asked for.
Routine care
Examination, hygienist and x-rays where they are needed. Twenty-minute appointments as standard, forty for a first visit.
Restorative work
White fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures. We will always show you the alternative to the expensive option, including doing nothing.
Nervous patients
Later appointments, a stop signal that we actually stop for, and as much time as it takes. Tell us when you book and we will plan for it.
What happens next
Get in touch
Call the practice or send the form. We will find you a slot, usually within the week.
A proper first visit
Forty minutes. We look, we listen, and you leave knowing exactly what we think and what it costs.
Treatment at your pace
Nothing is booked until you say so. If you want to think about it, that is a normal answer.
A small practice, on purpose.
Two surgeries, four people, and the same faces year after year.

“If we find something another practice missed, we show you on the x-ray and explain it before anything is booked — one appointment, not two.”
