Where we are — Upper Mt Gravatt, Brisbane southside

Pure Dentistry is at Shop 11, 1932–1974 Logan Rd, Upper Mt Gravatt QLD 4122, inside the Village (Coles) shopping centre, with free on-site parking and easy access from the M3 and Logan Road. We welcome Arabic-speaking patients from across Brisbane’s southside, including Mount Gravatt East, Mansfield, Wishart, Macgregor, Eight Mile Plains, Rochedale and surrounding suburbs.

Comfortable care for nervous patients

For many people, the hardest part of a dental visit is not understanding what is happening. Talking through your treatment in Arabic can help you feel more in control. For patients who feel very anxious, Pure Dentistry can also discuss comfort options including happy gas (laughing gas), IV sedation and general anaesthesia. Sedation is not suitable for everyone; any sedation carries risks, and suitability is assessed individually at your consultation.

Costs, health funds and rebates

Pure Dentistry is a private billing practice. We accept most major Australian private health funds and can process HICAPS claims on the spot, so you pay only the gap between the fee and your fund’s rebate. Please note the clinic does not offer bulk billing and does not accept Medicare CDBS or Queensland Health dental vouchers; payment is required on the day of treatment. For an estimate for your specific treatment, call (07) 3343 4869 or ask during your consultation.
