What We Do Differently

A Smarter, Healthier
Approach to Dental Care

Holistic dentistry goes deeper than just teeth. It recognises the intrinsic connection between your oral health and your overall wellbeing — your immune system, your hormones, your airway, your sleep.

At SHDC, every treatment decision is made with your whole body in mind. We use biocompatible materials, minimally invasive techniques, and evidence-based protocols that respect your biology.

No mercury, no BPA, no unnecessary metals

What is holistic dentistry?

Dentistry that treats the mouth as part of the whole body: fully qualified clinical dentistry plus airway, breathing and sleep assessment, biocompatible materials and honest, informed-choice decision-making. See our complete guide to holistic dentistry.

Is SHDC a real dental practice with registered dentists?

Yes. Every SHDC dentist is university trained and AHPRA registered, with postgraduate qualifications across endodontics, oral implants, and TMJ and sleep disorders. Holistic describes our scope, not a substitute for qualifications.

Should I have my mercury amalgam fillings removed?

That is a decision to make with your dentist after weighing the evidence, and current guidance is that intact fillings generally stay unless there is a clinical reason. When removal is right, we are SMART certified and have replaced more than 32,000 amalgams.

Do you place mercury amalgam fillings?

No, and we have not since 1987. The world's regulators agreed in 2025 to phase amalgam out globally by 2034; we were 47 years early.

Can a dentist really help with snoring and sleep?

Yes, within a team. We screen every patient's airway and sleep, refer to sleep physicians for diagnosis, and fit custom oral appliances for snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnoea where the diagnosis supports it.

Do you treat anxious patients?

Gently, and by design: no-treatment first visits, warmed anaesthetic, and sedation options through to sleep dentistry with a qualified anaesthetist. Tell us when you book; the plan adapts to you.

Do you see children?

Yes, from their first visit around age three. Children's care at SHDC includes growth, jaw development and airway assessment, because guiding growth early is the cheapest orthodontics there is.

What does the first appointment involve?

The comprehensive new patient consultation: your health history, every tooth and restoration, gums, jaw joints, oral cancer screening, airway and sleep screening, digital X-rays where indicated and photographs, ending with a written plan and costs.

What will it cost?

Fees are transparent and confirmed in writing before treatment. The consultation fee, item-by-item ranges and rebate information are on our fees page; HICAPS is available on site.
