A Professional, Friendly Environment
That Puts a Smile On Your Face.
At Thornbury Family Dental, we want to change the stigma around going to the dentist. Dental visits shouldn’t put you on edge or make you anxious before your appointments. And you definitely shouldn’t feel like you’re being judged on “when was your last visit?” or “do you brush twice a day?”…
That’s why we combine high-quality dentistry with a relaxed environment to provide a professional, friendly service you can trust. We offer Preventive, General and Cosmetic dentistry in a worry-free practice so every member of your family gets exactly what they need without any unnecessary stress.

Preventative Dentistry
So you don’t have to visit us very often…
Now is always the best time to reduce the risk of potential dental issues. And preventative dentistry aims to help keep children and adults safe for life. Even if you brush regularly and floss daily, it’s still important to get a professional to give your mouth a once-over. So that’s where we come in:
Gum & Bone Disease
Gingivitis and periodontitis. Trust us, you really don’t want them. So there’s no excuse for not doing everything you can to avoid them! By having regular check-ups at our practice, you can keep your oral hygiene top-notch and avoid serious health issues.
Fissure Sealants
These are a quick, easy way to block bacteria and keep tooth decay at bay. In a super simple procedure, we apply a thin layer to your back teeth that keeps them protected. No bad stuff can get through so you’ll have an effective seal that lasts for years.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Even the healthiest people can be at risk of oral cancer, so we screen each and every one of our patients to make sure you’re not showing any risk factors. If we do find something untoward, there’s no need to worry. We’ll refer you to one of our specialists.
Custom Mouthguards
Adults and children who play contact sports are always at risk of tooth trauma. With our custom-made mouthguards that fit well and never restrict speech, you’ll be able to protect your teeth, gums and jaw. You can even pick a colour to match your team!
General Dentistry
So you can make your mouth happy again…
However much you take care of your mouth, teeth and gums, sometimes you just can’t avoid those annoying issues. And that’s okay – there’s no judgement here! Our general dental services are here to help if you ever get into any trouble that needs professional attention.
Dental Checkups and Cleans
The initial consultation with your dentist (we prefer to call it a friendly chat) lays the groundwork for any future recommendations. We’ll take photographs, x-rays and discuss your specific needs in a relaxed, one-hour session.
Family and Children’s Dentistry
We get it. Visiting the dentist isn’t most kids’ idea of fun. But our child-friendly check-ups are a great way to teach your little ones about oral hygiene and prevent any health issues further down the line. Who knows, they might even enjoy it!
Composite Fillings
Let’s face it, everyone needs one at some point or another. Even if it’s just a single filling (or a mouth full) we’ve got you covered. Our clinic uses composite, tooth-colored fillings that are free from any harmful substances. They last ages and look great!
Root Canal
Though in the past it was thought of as an invasive procedure, the root canals of today are relatively simple thanks to the cutting-edge technology we have. There’s no need to feel apprehensive when you’re in the hands of the experienced, fully qualified team at Thornbury Family Dental.
Crowns & Bridges
Strong and long-lasing restorative options, crowns and bridges preserve all possible existing tooth structure. In human speak, a crown is a cap that’s placed over a damaged tooth to keep it strong, much like putting a helmet over your head to protect it from getting knocked around. A bridge anchors to two remaining teeth to fill the gap.
Dental Implants
Whether you’re missing a single tooth or a whole row, dental implants are a nice-looking, reliable way to fill the gaps. They function similarly to a normal tooth would and can support the placement of a crown, bridge or dentures. Simple, sturdy and beautiful!
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Most people have four wisdom teeth—two in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw. Also called “third molars”, wisdom teeth begin developing in the teenage years and may continue into a person’s late 20s.
Sleep Apnoea Treatment
Poor oral hygiene can result in a poor night’s sleep. We work with specialists to spot any potential symptoms (like damaged teeth or a sore jaw) so you can finally be free from a restricted air flow and get some rest. We can’t stop your partner snoring, though… #sorry (unless they come see us too).
Dentures
Thornbury Family Dental is dedicated to providing an assortment of solutions that are designed to meet your unique dental needs. As many people find themselves in need of a tooth replacement after losing one or more teeth, we are glad to offer dentures, or removable prosthetics, to fill the empty spaces and give you your smile back.
Orthodontics
Don’t worry, you’re not the only person whose teeth aren’t perfectly aligned. But even so, wonky teeth can be a real confidence-killer for a lot of people. Our orthodontic options help you achieve a dazzling look that you’ll be proud to show off.
Cosmetic Dentistry
So you can feel the confidence to smile…
Maybe you’ve looked in the mirror, cracked a smile and dreamed of having the perfect set of teeth. But then written it off as a fantasy… We say there’s no need! Our cosmetic dental treatments finally give you the confidence to smile – and the teeth you’ve always wanted.
Invisalign
Don’t worry, you’re not the only person whose teeth aren’t perfectly aligned. But even so, wonky teeth can be a real confidence-killer for a lot of people. Our orthodontic options help you achieve a dazzling look that you’ll be proud to show off.
Veneers
Ceramic or composite resin veneers are the easiest and safest way to get the true ‘Hollywood’ smile. We don’t want to interfere too much with your mouth, so we take a minimal-prep/minimalistic approach that removes as little enamel as possible.
Smile Makeover
Some people will sometimes find it hard to admit that they’re not happy with the appearance of their teeth when they smile. We feel that the effects of not having a confident smile should not be underestimated; it can possibly affect how someone feels fundamentally about themselves.
Teeth Whitening
You can whiten your teeth by up to eight shades (sorry there’s not 50) with our comprehensive, in-practice treatment. Or, if you’d rather do things from the comfort of your own home, we can set you up with one of our take-home kits and do it yourself!
