About Dent8 Dental

At Dent8 Dental, you can look forward to excellent dental care and personalised service in a warm and caring environment.

Our history

Dr Alannah Freer, the practice founder, graduated from University of Qld in 1982 and has been in private practice for most of her career. Dr Freer first owned a medical practice at Rosalie Dental from 1988 to 2004 and subsequently opened Dent8 Dental which has now taken residence in Taringa.

Dent8 is a holistic dental practice, and supports its patients with their overall wellbeing and of course oral and dental health. This practice offers a range of practitioners with the same ethos and foundational care.

Our approach

We recognise that many people feel anxious about seeing the dentist. And when you feel like that, you tend to avoid going.

At Dent8, we offer dental care with a difference. We take many deliberate steps to promote your comfort, helping you to feel relaxed and in control during your appointment.

Our waiting areas provide a beautiful space for you to relax and have a cuppa. We even have a playspace for young children adjacent to the main waiting area to make visiting the dentist more enjoyable for our youngest patients.

We provide a comprehensive range of general dentistry, holistic dentistry (safe amalgam removal), children’s dentistry, oral pathology, veneers, crown and bridge, implants, TMD splints, obstructive sleep apnea and periodontics.

‘Four Kookaburras’

We’re based in Taringa in a beautiful heritage building with a rich history. We’ve named this local landmark ‘Four Kookaburras’ and have lovingly restored it, transforming it into a state-of-the-art dental practice and health centre (including a lift).

The building is visible from the lower part of Moggill Road (Walker Street) near the green pedestrian overpass and is a local landmark.
