What Family Dental Care Services Does Sandgate Family Dental Offer in Clontarf?
Visiting Sandgate Family Dental from Clontarf
Clontarf sits at the southern end of the Redcliffe peninsula, a short drive from our practice at 12 Lagoon Street, Sandgate. Most Clontarf residents reach us in about twelve to fifteen minutes by crossing the Ted Smout Memorial Bridge over Bramble Bay and following Brighton Road into Sandgate, where free street parking is available directly outside.
For families around the Clontarf foreshore, Pelican Park and the Hornibrook Esplanade, we are an easy alternative to the busier clinics in central Redcliffe, offering the same range of general, preventive, cosmetic and emergency dental care close to home and simple to park at.
We now open Saturday mornings from 8:00AM to 12:00PM, which suits Clontarf patients who work through the week and prefer a weekend appointment. Both of our dentists see patients of every age, so the whole household can be looked after at the one practice with continuity of care from visit to visit.
