Braithwaite's Family Dental has a proud history of dental service in the Manning Valley. Mark Braithwaite has practised in Taree since 1988 when he joined his father Brian in Manning Street. Brian had come to Taree in 1962 to take over the practice of George Ruprecht who had commenced in 1918. We take pride in our relationships with staff and our patients and their families. Mark has known many of his clients since childhood. Several of our team members have worked with us for decades, and have balanced raising their families with dentistry. Some of our staff have left to undertake university study and are now back at our practice as highly qualified health providers. All our professional staff are committed to continuing professional development, attending conferences and accessing current research and new techniques. Our team members are also educators at university dental schools and are involved in organising continuing professional education in the Australian Dental Association. Mark is the immediate past president and for many years previously the secretary of the NE Division of the ADA. In our dedication to providing the best care for our patients we put much emphasis on the long term evidence that supports our treatments. Braithwaite's Family Dental has been a QIP accredited practice for some years. This means we have developed policies and governance to ensure quality assurance and infection control through our sterilization procedures. Above all we want to establish your ongoing dental well being. We do our utmost to make your visit pleasant and a sound basis for planning your continuing treatment and care.

Dr Rourke and his team deliver prompt emergency care for Port Macquarie dental patients, catering for painful situations. Patients who are sensitive to pain are well cared for. If you have tooth pain, get relief from your toothache today by calling Dr Rourke and his team at Star Dental Care. We attend to fractured teeth, loose crowns and wisdom teeth, bringing the pain under control and then working to rectify the problem tooth. In more serious cases, we also carry out root canals, providing personalised attention to ensure you feel comfortable. Dr Rourke also provides a denture repair service as well as cosmetic makeovers, tooth whitening and emergency dentistry. If your smile needs a little work, make an appointment with our friendly office staff. Once we have examined your teeth, we can recommend the best services for you. Our clinic offers on-the-spot rebates from all health funds via HICAPS, so it is only the gap that you need to pay. All first time visitors to our clinic undergo a complete dental exam so that we can diagnose any dental problems and discuss any of your dentistry goals. We offer professional cleaning of your teeth as well. Our Port Macquarie dental clinic is open from 8:30am Monday to Friday and there is plenty of parking for clients. Our clinic is at ground level and we have friendly, caring staff to make you feel at home, even when you are suffering from a toothache.
