Carlingford Dental Surgery has a long and proud history of providing professional dental care.

In 1968, Dr John Tait opened the dental surgery at Level 1, 285B Pennant Hills Road, Carlingford. Following this, Dr Frank Jones took over and managed the practice for about thirty years. In the years nearing his retirement, Dr Jones took on an associate, Dr John Fitzsimons. The practice has been managed by Dr Steven Du since 2001.

In 2009, Carlingford Dental Surgery moved to the ground floor at Suite 4, 835 – 839 Pennant Hills Road, Carlingford. The move significantly improved access for the more elderly and less mobile patients. Patients with prams also found the move a great improvement in obtaining dental care for the whole family.

The new premises took approximately 12 months to complete. It was designed to accommodate numerous additional state-of-the-art equipment, making the practice a very modern and exciting place to work. The surgery has a contemporary look and a friendly atmosphere to help patients feel relaxed and positive about their dental visit.

In late 2015, Dr Aija Bisnieks joined Dr Steven Du at Carlingford Dental Surgery, prior to her transition to retirement after more than 40 years of dental service to the community. Dr Aija Bisnieks’ long-term patients were very happy with this transition and have enjoyed the new benefits of modern techniques and breath of procedures on offer at our practice.

We look forward to seeing all our new and existing patients to the new surgery!

Our Community

Dr Steven Du is passionate about improving dental health in the community through dental education, particularly young children, as he believes that good dental habits at an early age result in immense long-term benefits to the patients and the community.

Dr Steven Du and his dental team give presentations at schools as part of Dental Health Month. They also participate in the Bright Smiles program from Colgate and the ADA.

All the staff at Carlingford Dental Surgery are committed to reducing the human impact on the planet for the prosperity of future generations. They take pride in:

• Re-using non-confidential office paper.
• Shredding and recycling confidential paper.
• Maintaining the garden in and around the surgery using water captured through condensation from dental equipment.
• Utilising energy efficient globes throughout the surgery. These globes also emit significantly less heat, which reduces energy demands on the air-conditioning system.
• Designing the surgery to maximise the use of natural lighting throughout most of the day.

Dr Steven Du has been a long financial supporter of the great work that charities such The Smith Family, Care Australia and Medecins Sans Frontieres do for communities in Australia and around the world.
