We have a fully equipped outpatient anaesthetic theatre for attending patients electing to be treated under general anaesthesia. Specialist medical anaesthetists attend our practice and are supported by experienced anaesthetic nurses. Depending on the patients' health and treatment needs our anaesthetists can provide light sedation, IV sedation (twilight dentistry) or full general anaesthesia.
Located within Westfield Chermside shopping centre, we are located at the Hamilton Road end of the centre. Once you have entered the shopping centre come up the travelator located next to the post office and we are the only shop on the mezzanine level.
