“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”

Ben Franklin coined this timeless phrase in 1736 to remind the citizens of Philadelphia about fire prevention. As is true of many of his quotes and advancements, it still has great relevance today.

Like oral disease, fires can be prevented. Queenslanders are excellent at fire prevention, but are you getting the dental checks you deserve? Are your teeth going to last?

Airlie Smile Care (previously Noel Danton Dental) has prevention and excellent oral health at its heart.

Life is busy. Who has time to attend to dental appointments?

If it doesn’t hurt, then it is healthy right? Unfortunately, no. Just like feeling thirsty, feeling tooth pain is a bad way to judge your health. Pain often means bigger problems. It can mean that the fix needs to be much bigger than if issues had been caught earlier. A good healthcare professional will look for signs, not wait for symptoms.

At Airlie Smile Care we ensure that your  dental exams are extremely thorough, and understandable. We take the care to listen to the history and current environment of your mouth and teeth. We utilise the most modern training and use technology to show and explain any issues that might be starting to arise in your mouth.

You will be checked for gum disease, tooth decay, tooth wear, muscle and jaw joint (TMJ) health and we check for oral cancer. We provide all treatments from extractions, white fillings and root canal treatments and also excel at replacing lost teeth with implants, straightening and whitening with fast orthodontic treatments, cosmetic veneers, “smile designs” same day crowns and whitening, and we do it all in a caring gentle manner. Painless and with a friendly smile from our caring team.

Dr Cormac Farrell and wife Carolyne are celebrating their 6th year owning Airlie Smile Care and providing hygiene and dental services to the area. Originally from England, they have completed their studies in diverse locations such as Edinburgh, Cardiff, Germany, USA, Bristol and Colombia.

10 years ago, they settled in Airlie Beach to start a family and when not at the clinic they can be found being buried in sand at the beach, dressed like Barbie or kicking footie with their three children Megan, Catherine and Bodhi.

They would love to see you at Airlie Smile Care.

Please call the clinic on 49467600 to book an appointment today.
