About Coastal Dental Care

Holistic Dental Care is a dentist-owned, purpose-led practice within the Coastal Dental Care network, based at Emerald Lakes in Carrara. Led by Lead Dentist and Practice Owner Dr Carla Simoes, our team sees oral health as part of the bigger picture: physical wellbeing, emotional balance and how a patient feels in the chair. We work with biocompatible materials, favour minimally invasive techniques where we can, and take the time for genuinely personalised care. This is dentistry with intention, not volume.
