Preventive Dentistry is a privately owned, non-corporate dental practice established in 1963 by Dr Noel Egan at its current Braddon location near Canberra Civic (Unit 51, Level 1, Habitat, 38 Mort Street, Braddon ACT 2612). Now led by principal dentist Dr Stephen Lising alongside Dr Ann Duong (rated among Canberra’s top three cosmetic dentists), Dr Scott Park and Dr Julian Oronos, the clinic has served Canberra families for over 50 years. Its philosophy is prevention-first: regular examinations, scale and cleans, fluoride, fissure sealants and mouthguards for children, and periodontal maintenance for adults, before any restorative work is proposed. General services include fillings, root canal therapy, crowns, bridges and implants; cosmetic options cover porcelain veneers, composite bonding, professional teeth whitening and Invisalign clear aligners; anti-snoring devices are also provided. The practice explicitly maintains no affiliation with corporate dental groups or private health funds, so treatment plans are dictated by clinical need rather than third-party policy, and offers HICAPS on-the-spot claiming, bulk billing under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, and acceptance of DVA Gold and White cards. Open Monday–Friday 8:30am–5:30pm and alternate Saturdays 8:30am–1:00pm, the clinic serves patients of all ages from Canberra’s Inner North with a gentle, low-pressure, long-term family-dentist model.
