Westridge Dental
Westridge Dental has been serving the Toowoomba community for more than 30 years and many of our patients have been with us all that time.
The relationship between patient and dentist is paramount to good oral health. Because we take the time to know our patients and build their trust, we can ensure their oral health is monitored and maintained throughout the changes in their lives.
We also understand that every patient is an individual with their own unique requirements, problems and lifestyle. There simply is no “one size fits all” when it comes to dentistry.
We welcome new patients into the Westridge Dental fold and look forward to continuing to provide a quality, reliable health service for many years to come.
Westridge Dental is located in the bustling Westridge Shopping Centre which features lots of parking, quality service providers and boutique stores including Toowoomba’s best green grocer and award winning butcher.
