Dentist Circular Quay: Comprehensive Dental Care for Healthy Smiles
Choosing the right dentist in Circular Quay is an important step towards maintaining a healthy smile for life. Whether you’re looking for routine dental check-ups, restorative treatment, cosmetic dentistry or ongoing preventative care, having an experienced dental team close to where you live or work in the city can make looking after your oral health easier and more convenient.
Located in the heart of Sydney’s CBD, About Smiles Circular Quay is a premium, cosmetic focused clinic within the About Smiles network. Our experienced team combines advanced cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry and comprehensive general dental care, using modern digital technology and personalised treatment plans designed around each patient’s individual needs, goals and budget.
Why Regular Dental Care Matters
Your oral health plays an important role in your overall wellbeing. Regular visits to your dentist not only help keep your teeth and gums healthy but can also identify dental concerns before they become more complex.
Routine dental appointments can help:
- Detect tooth decay early
- Monitor gum health
- Identify worn or damaged teeth
- Screen for oral health concerns
- Remove plaque and tartar build-up
- Maintain a bright, healthy smile
- Reduce the need for more extensive treatment in the future
The inner-Sydney community around Circular Quay tends to report better overall health than the country. Across the SA3 Sydney Inner City area, around 66.9% of residents report no long-term health condition, compared with 60.2% nationally, and rates of conditions such as arthritis (3.9%, against 8.5% nationally) and diabetes (2.2%, against 4.7%) sit well below the national figures*. For a busy, health conscious city population, a consistent preventative routine is a straightforward way to keep an already-strong baseline in good shape.
At About Smiles Circular Quay, prevention sits alongside our cosmetic and restorative work as part of comprehensive care. Oral Health Practitioner Hayley Elkins focuses on preventative dentistry and oral health care, supporting patients to maintain healthy teeth and gums between visits.

Every smile is unique, which is why About Smiles Circular Quay offers a range of dental services under one roof. Whether you need a routine examination or more advanced treatment, our team can develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your oral health needs.
General & Preventative Dentistry

- Comprehensive dental examinations
- Check-ups and cleans
- Preventative dentistry

Restorative Dentistry
If your teeth have been damaged by decay, injury or wear, restorative dentistry can help restore both function and appearance. Treatments include:
- Restorative dental treatment
- Root canal treatment
- Dental implant restorations

- Dental bridges
Cosmetic Dentistry
Many patients choose cosmetic dental treatments to improve the appearance of their smile while maintaining healthy teeth. Popular cosmetic treatments include:
- Professional teeth whitening
- Porcelain veneers
- Composite bonding
- Smile makeovers
- Clear aligners
Circular Quay sits within one of the youngest-skewing catchments in Sydney. Across the SA3 Sydney Inner City area, residents in their 20s and 30s make up roughly 53% of the population far above the national pattern alongside an above average median weekly household income of about $2,222*. Among a large population of city professionals, interest in cosmetic and smile focused treatment is common. Dr Aodhan Docherty works with patients considering these options; his areas of focus include cosmetic dentistry, porcelain veneers, composite bonding and smile makeovers. As with any cosmetic treatment, care begins with a consultation to discuss whether it’s appropriate for you, what’s involved and what to realistically expect, rather than a one size fits all approach.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet option for adults who would like to straighten their teeth without conventional braces. With a median age of 34 and a large share of working professionals across the inner city*, an adult focused approach to teeth straightening suits many local patients. Dr Gregory Nguyen holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Orthodontics and works with patients considering clear aligner treatment.
Dental Implants
Missing teeth can affect your confidence, bite and oral health. Dental implants are designed to replace missing teeth with a long lasting option that closely resembles the appearance and function of natural teeth.
At About Smiles Circular Quay, implant treatment is provided by Dr Aodhan Docherty, whose qualifications include a Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry (Dental Implants) and Fellowship of the Pierre Fauchard Academy. Dr Docherty provides both dental implants and implant restorations as part of the practice’s restorative and cosmetic care.
