30 years of quality dentistry

Since Dr. George Sakoutis opened the practice in 1988, his focus has remained consistent: providing the highest quality dentistry in a beautiful, unique environment with a warm, family-friendly welcome.

A lot has changed since then. Starting with just one chair, we now have four, state-of-the-art treatment rooms for our skilled and highly qualified dental team. This building was designed with patient care as our top priority, offering additional spaces for you to relax and unwind before or after your appointment. We look forward to welcoming you to Odontologie Dental Care soon!

Easy Access

It’s easy to get to Odontologie Dental Care. Access by car is fast and simple off the Hume Highway. We are close to the M5, so our patients have no trouble coming to see us from all over Sydney.

You’ll find parking at both the front and back of the surgery, with additional spots available for patients with accessibility needs.

The Latest Technology

At Odontologie Dental Care we believe in investing in the latest dental technology. Our aim is to give you the best treatments available and to make your time in the chair as comfortable and quick as possible.

FAQs

The classic rule is to brush as often as you eat each day (after each meal) and floss once a day. This may not be right for you and you may have to use special devices, for example, an electric tooth brush, special tooth paste, a small brush to get between the teeth, a rubber tip or special mouth rinses.
When a tooth is lost, the bite may change and the teeth shift positions. Also, when a tooth is lost, the bone begins to shrink (atrophy) and the face gets that “sunken in” look.
Veneers are very thin, tooth-colored shells that are custom-fit and bonded to the front sides of teeth to close gaps, cover stains and discolorations, and correct chipped or misshapen teeth to give you a bright, even, attractive smile.
Dental crowns are caps that fit over a damaged or weak tooth. This strengthens the existing tooth and improves it aesthetically, restoring the colour, size, and shape of your tooth. Whether you need extra support for a tooth with a filling or you need a crown following root canal therapy, we can assist you. Strong, attractive, and long-lasting, a dental crown also helps to support the surround teeth and restore overall stability in your mouth.
Most teeth that have been stained or darkened by age, food, tobacco, injury or other causes can be whitened by professional tooth cleaning and polishing. Some stained teeth require a procedure that brightens them. Tooth bleaching is a tooth whitening procedure and it takes the form of an in-office (chair-side treatment) or take-home whitening products.
In-office bleaching, which is the best controlled and most effective method of tooth whitening, takes place in one of our treatment rooms and is administered by a dentist. The teeth are first cleaned and polished and the whitening product is applied tooth by tooth. Then a curing light combines peroxide with the tooth surface to make the teeth whiter. During the technique, the gums are covered to protect them from any irritation.
