Therese McNicol2026-07-02 I have been seeing Polly for years and she is nothing short of fantastic. Gentle, reassuring, confident and so capable. My family and I have always been grateful to have Polly as our dentist. I have also recently seen Cheryl for some work as Polly wasn’t available at a time that suited me best. I was reluctant given how fantastic Polly is… and I must say, Cheryl was outstanding too. So professional and I quickly relaxed in her care as she got on with my dental work. It’s wonderful that we now have two options. The office management team with Peter and Jana are also great. Really can’t speak highly enough about the team. Katie Miller2026-07-01 Amazing affordable dentist! Polly is a very skilled dentist but also very kind and caring towards patients care. Would 10/10 recommend this clinic! Reception staff are also super kind and helpful Megan Miller2026-06-25 Polly is an exceptional dentist … making you feel at ease immediately and has a very gentle and caring touch. I would highly recommend her services to everyone … Thankyou to Polly and her wonderful team. Rachel Tortorella2026-06-25 Polly is the best and myself and my family won't go anywhere else. Polly understands my dental anxiety and always treats me gently and explains things to me as she goes as she knows it helps me. Thanks for always taking great care of us. Only Hope2026-06-22 Polly is a fantastic dentist, very knowledgeable, and really cares about her patients. Karen Humphreys2026-06-13 Great thorough and friendly service! Megan Goode2026-05-15 Polly and her team at Optimal Dental Care are Amazing! They always manage to fit me in when I have an emergency and offer the best advice based on my current circumstances. Great family business, and feels like home :) I also appreciate that they have the cooking channel on whilst getting any work done, its a great distraction. ruby visser2026-05-13 Dr Polly is amazing, thorough and wonderful bedside manner.

Frequently Asked Question
The price of a check-up in Sydney will vary from place to place and whether you’re a new or existing patient. We currently have an exciting offer for new patients that includes a comprehensive examination, check-up and teeth cleaning for only $300 (regular price: $486).
Unfortunately, Medicare Australia doesn’t cover the costs of most dental services and most costs have to be paid for by patients. However, there are some exceptions where Medicare will pay for essential dental treatments for certain children and adults who are deemed eligible.
The average cost of a trip to a Sydney dentist is very much dependent on what treatments you’re in need of. Check-ups and teeth cleaning are significantly cheaper than crowns or root canals. Contact your dentist for more information on the particular treatment you’re looking for.
