ABOUT REFRESH DENTAL SPA
At Refresh Dental Spa ensuring our patients enjoy optimum dental health and feel good about themselves is our highest priority. That’s why, in addition to a comprehensive range of essential and cosmetic dental services, we provide a range of facial cosmetic services. For many people, the reality is that once they stop feeling self-conscious about their smile and other features, what’s within begins to shine through.
If you have been putting off visiting a dentist because you are concerned about the cost or you feel anxious, don’t worry. We have a range of payment options and we are experts at making you feel relaxed and comfortable. The important thing is that you get the treatment that you need, the rest we can work out through open communication and discussing your options.
We also understand that work and family life place huge demands on your time. We have efficient systems to ensure that we run to time consistently without compromising our level of care and attention. We respect your time but we will never make you feel rushed.
Our team has also been thoughtfully put together with each member completely dedicated to their role and applying our core principle of complete care and attention to the individual needs of our clients. In 2018 Refresh Dental Spa was joined by Dr Nick Sheptooha and his team from Nick Sheptooha Dental further increasing the depth of talent and range of services we can provide.
