About Close Dental
We're Excited Here At Close Dental, And We'd Like To Share Our Excitement With You. After All, It Is The Wonderful People Who Come Through Our Door Each Day Who Make Close Dental The Place It Is Today.

In The 80's There Was A Dramatic Shift In Dentistry Towards Prevention. More Was Known About Diseases Of The Mouth And How We Could Improve Oral Health. Gone Were The Days Of Drilling And Filling. Changes In Legislation Allowed Dental Hygienists To Work With Dentists To Educate Patients And Prevent Diseases Of The Mouth. For Dr Close And His Team, It Was An Important Step That They Integrate A Dental Hygienist Into The Team. It Was Just Prior To Moving Into The Close Dental Office, That Their First Dental Hygienist Arrived To Give Our Patients A New Reason For “going To The Dentist”. We Are Very Proud Of Our Dental Hygienists At Close Dental And The High Level Of Care They Provided Our Patients. We Can Confidently Say Too, Our Practice Delivers More Preventive Dentistry Than Most Dental Practices In Queensland.

Thank You To You, Our Patients, For Taking On Our Beliefs In The Direction Of Dentistry.
