If you live in Capalaba and want a dentist close to home, Alexandra Hills Dental is a five-minute drive away at Shop 2/191 Vienna Rd, Alexandra Hills, offering general, cosmetic, kids, and emergency dental treatment six days a week. A friend or neighbour might have already mentioned us at school pickup, and that is usually how families in Redlands find their long-term dentist. We are a local family practice that takes the time to do things properly, without pushing treatments you do not need.
Why Local Dental Care Close To Home Matters For Redlands Families
When you have school drop-offs, shift work, weekend sport and parents to ferry around the bay, the last thing you need is a dental clinic that is half an hour away in Brisbane traffic. A clinic close to home means you can fit a check-up into a lunch break, get the kids seen after school, or be in and out before the Saturday morning sport rush.
It also matters when something goes wrong. A chipped tooth on a Friday afternoon or a throbbing molar at 9 am on a Tuesday is not something you want to drive across town for. Being five minutes from Capalaba means we can usually get you in the same day.
How Far Is The Nearest Dentist From Capalaba?
Typical drive times from Capalaba Central, off-peak.
Five minutes door-to-chair from central Capalaba. That is the difference between fitting an appointment into a lunch break and burning half a day.
Where Alexandra Hills Dental Sits In Relation To Capalaba
We are at Shop 2/191 Vienna Rd, Alexandra Hills, QLD 4161. From central Capalaba (near the shopping centre), it is roughly a five-minute drive up Vienna Road. There is on-site parking right at the front door, so you are not circling a car park trying to find a spot before your appointment.
We also see plenty of patients from Cleveland, Thornlands, Sheldon, Victoria Point, Redland Bay, Wellington Point and West End. If you can get to Capalaba, you can get to us.
Dentist Capalaba And Wider Redlands: Suburbs We Cover
Patients drive in from across the bay area. If your suburb is not listed, give us a call. We almost certainly see patients from there too.
What Gentle Dentistry Actually Looks Like In Practice
Every dental clinic says they are gentle. What that actually means at our practice is:
- We explain what we are about to do before we do it
- We check in with you during treatment, not just at the end
- We offer happy gas for nervous patients and kids
- We never start treatment without your full understanding of cost and options
- We treat anxious patients without judgment, even if it has been ten years between visits
Our dentists were trained to treat your mouth the way they would treat a family member’s. That is not a marketing line; it is the standard we hold the team to.
What People Worry About vs What Actually Happens
General Dental Services We Offer Capalaba Patients
The core of what we do is keeping your teeth healthy with regular preventive dental treatment. That includes:
- Check-up and clean
- Fillings (white composite, not the old silver ones)
- Root canal treatment
- Wisdom teeth removal
- Gum disease treatment
- Mouthguards for sport
- Dentures and partial dentures
We also handle the bigger restorative work, like crowns, bridges, and dental implants, when they are needed.
Cosmetic Dental Options For A Smile You Feel Good About
If you have a chipped, stained, or crooked tooth and you have been putting it off, we have options that are far less scary than most people think. Cosmetic treatments we offer include:
- Teeth whitening (in-chair and take-home)
- Porcelain and composite veneers
- Invisalign and clear aligners for crooked teeth
- Smile makeovers combining several treatments
- Tooth-coloured fillings to replace old silver ones
Whether it is for a wedding, work photos, or just because you have avoided smiling in photos for years, we will walk you through what is realistic for your teeth and your budget.
Emergency Dental Care: When Toothache Will Not Wait
A toothache has a way of hitting at the worst possible time. The good news: if you call Alexandra Hills Dental before 10 am, we guarantee a same-day appointment for an emergency toothache.
We see emergencies for:
- Severe toothache that has not settled with painkillers
- Knocked-out, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Lost fillings or crowns
- Abscesses and facial swelling
- Bleeding that will not stop after an extraction elsewhere
Do not push through it for the weekend. Pick up the phone.

Kids’ Dental Care and The Free Medicare Scheme For 2 to 17-year-olds
Eligible children aged 2 to 17 years can receive free kids’ dental care at our clinic under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), an Australian Government scheme that covers up to $1,132 of basic dental treatments per child over two calendar years. Services covered include examinations, x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealants, fillings, root canals, and extractions.
To check if your child is eligible, look at your Medicare online account, the Express Plus Medicare app, or give Services Australia a call. Most families on a Family Tax Benefit Part A are eligible.
We make the first dental visit a positive one. No bright lights, no scary tools waved around, just a gentle look and a polish so kids actually want to come back.
Mandarin, Cantonese, and Korean-Speaking Dentists For Clear Communication
If English is not your first language, dental visits can feel stressful. We have dentists on the team who speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and Korean, so you can ask questions, understand your treatment options, and make decisions in the language you are most comfortable in. Let us know when you book, and we will make sure the right dentist is rostered on.
Health Funds, Payment Plans, And The $190 First Time Check-Up Offer
We are a Preferred Provider for several major private health insurance funds, which usually means lower out-of-pocket costs for you. We claim on the spot through HICAPS, so you only pay the gap (if any).
Preferred Provider for:
- Bupa
- HCF
- CBHS
- Australian Unity
- Medibank
For new patients without private health insurance: your first time check-up and clean is a flat $190. No surprises, no hidden fees.
For bigger treatments, we offer three payment plan options, including interest-free, plus SuperCare early Super access for eligible patients needing major work.
Ways To Pay For Treatment
Gap amounts vary by fund, level of cover, and your benefit reset date. We will let you know your exact gap before treatment.
What To Expect At Your First Visit If You Have Not Seen A Dentist In Years
If it has been five, ten or fifteen years since your last visit, we get it. Life gets busy, a bad experience puts you off, or the cost feels overwhelming. Here is what actually happens when you walk in:
- A proper chat first. We sit down with you and ask what is going on, what you are worried about, and what you want out of the visit
- A gentle examination. We look at your teeth, gums and soft tissues. X-rays only if clinically needed, and only after we have explained why
- Clear options and honest costs. You leave knowing exactly what your teeth need, what each option costs, and what you want to book next
No judgement. No lecture. Just a plan you can actually work with.

Yes. We offer three payment plan options, including interest-free instalments, plus SuperCare for eligible patients who want to access part of their super for major dental work. We will walk you through the numbers before you commit to anything.
