A1 Dental Care

A1 Dental Care is a privately owned two-clinic dental group in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, operating since 2011. The Belconnen practice sits at Suite 5F, Lakeview Square, 21 Benjamin Way, Belconnen ACT 2617 (opposite Westfield Town Centre), while the Barton practice is at Suite 8A, Level 2, Barton Medical Precinct, 3 Sydney Avenue, Barton ACT 2600, beside the Parliamentary circle in central Canberra. The group promotes “exceptional dental care with personalised treatment”, quoting all costs upfront with no hidden fees, and supports anxious patients through pre-procedure medication, the Penthrox whistle, intravenous sedation and general anaesthesia. Clinical scope covers preventive and general dentistry (check-ups, scale and cleans, white fillings, fluoride, fissure sealants), restorative work (CEREC one-visit crowns, bridges, dentures, root canal therapy, extractions, wisdom teeth removal, oral surgery), cosmetic solutions (porcelain veneers, composite bonding, in-chair and take-home teeth whitening, Invisalign clear aligners) and dental implants. Both chairs carry ceiling TVs, and the practices run HICAPS on-the-spot health-fund claiming alongside consumer payment plans Afterpay, HUMM (National Dental Plan) and Zip Money. The multilingual clinician team includes Dr Shareif Elhoufy (25+ years, Arabic/English, conservative root canal and ceramic restorations), Dr Taban Napaki (preventative focus), Dr Arash Mohseni (minimal-intervention general dentistry) and Dr Tristan Ollis (Belconnen, gentle-family care). Hours are Monday–Friday 8:30am–5:00pm with same-day emergency slots. A1 Dental serves Canberra families, professionals and nervous patients across the Inner North, Inner South and Civic corridors with a low-pressure, education-first model.
