Patient Stories
Why Cannon Hill Families Trust Tooth Smart Dental
Read genuine feedback from patients who have experienced our gentle, personalized care.
Anxiety-Free Dentistry
For the first time in my life I am not afraid to go to the dentist. The team at Tooth Smart Dental are fantastic. They care about how you are feeling and very quickly put you at ease. Have found my forever dentist.
General Check-up & Clean
Dr. Suruchi was the best dentist I have ever encountered. Very understanding of my nerves and accommodating to my needs when getting the check up. Also gave me clear feedback and advice moving forward. The girls at the front desk were lovely too! I will definitely be a return customer. :)
Family Dentistry
My experience at Tooth Smart Dental has always been nothing short of exceptional. The ladies are so welcoming and kind and always put any worries of mine to ease. The ladies even watch my daughter while I’m getting treatment done. I would strongly recommend this clinic to anyone looking to get work done or who is anxious.
Porcelain Veneers
I just had porcelain veneers installed last week by Tooth Smart Dental. Thank you so much to you and your amazing team Dr Suruchi, you have done a great job! I am so happy with the result and how it all went so smoothly.
Gentle Dental Care
I cannot recommend Dr Suruchi and her team enough. Dr Suruchi is incredibly caring, patient, understanding, professional and kind. I have never come across a practitioner quite like her nor have I felt at such ease when visiting a dentist!
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Dr Suruchi and her staff are amazing and very polite. After not seeing a dentist for 10 years I was very scared of judgement and super nervous for a wisdom tooth removal! They made me feel very comfortable and calm and talked me through everything that was being done. 100% returning to these lovely ladies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know Before Your Visit
Have a question? We believe in 100% transparency with treatments, procedures, and costs.
Do you offer same-day emergency dental appointments in Cannon Hill?
Yes. We keep dedicated emergency spots reserved in our daily schedule for patients suffering from severe toothaches, chipped or broken teeth, facial swelling, or dental trauma. Call our clinic desk directly on (07) 3399 6228 or 0425 385 134.
What should I expect during my first dental check-up and clean?
Your initial appointment includes a comprehensive oral examination checking every tooth, periodontal gum measurements, oral cancer screening, low-dose digital diagnostic X-rays, gentle ultrasonic plaque and calculus removal, polishing, and topical fluoride strengthening.
What if I feel extremely anxious or afraid of dental procedures?
You are in compassionate, understanding hands. Dr. Suruchi Chetal is widely praised across Brisbane for her gentle, patient approach. We never rush appointments. We offer ceiling flat-screen televisions with Netflix and happy gas (nitrous oxide sedation) to ensure you remain completely calm, relaxed, and pain-free.
Do you accept private health insurance and provide instant HICAPS claiming?
Yes. We accept all Australian private health funds including Bupa, Medibank Private, HCF, CBHS, nib, Teachers Health, and Australian Unity. We swipe your card on our HICAPS terminal so you only pay the gap on the day.
What 0% interest payment plans are available?
We partner with Afterpay, Zip Pay, and Total Lifestyle Credit (TLC). These allow you to spread the cost of general checkups, cosmetic porcelain veneers, clear aligners, or dental implants across easy, interest-free weekly or fortnightly repayments.
Are children eligible for free dental under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?
Yes! If your family receives Family Tax Benefit Part A or other relevant payments, your child (aged 2 to 17) may be entitled to up to $1,052 in free dental benefits over two calendar years. We bulk-bill CDBS directly with Medicare with zero out-of-pocket gap.
How do clear aligners compare to traditional braces?
Clear aligners are virtually invisible, custom 3D-printed trays that gently guide your teeth into proper alignment without metal brackets or wires. Because they are removable, you can brush, floss, and eat normally throughout your treatment.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
High-quality porcelain veneers crafted with Australian standard materials typically last 10 to 15+ years when cared for with regular 6-monthly checkups, good oral hygiene, and a protective occlusal nightguard if you grind your teeth.
Where is Tooth Smart Dental located and is there parking?
We are located at Shop 12 / 960 Wynnum Road, Cannon Hill QLD 4170 in the Cannon Hill shopping precinct (opposite Bunnings). We have ample free patient parking directly outside our door and ground-level wheelchair access.
