Scared of visiting the dentist?
Maybe it's the cost of treatment. Perhaps you've had a painful past experience. Or both.
We want to change this with Battery Hill Dental. We've put our prices online and made them affordable, so there's no shock at the front desk. And our dentists are gentle, kind, and enjoy a yarn - we don't rush you during your visit, and we don't pressure you into making an expensive decision.
Patients come in just to chat and to sit on the couch. They're not scared of the dentist anymore. That's when we know that we're serving our community.
If this sounds like your kind of dentist, give us a call. We're here to help.

Kris is one of our dentists, and shares our philosophy on providing excellent patient care. He graduated in 2014 in the UK and moved to the Sunny Coast in 2018. When he's not planning his next trip away, you can find him fishing at Buddina, or kayaking the Maroochydore River.
DR. KELLEY DICKINSON
Dentist
Kelley is a true country girl from North Qld, but she loves the Sunny Coast life (nearly as much as she loves her 2 dogs). She's wonderful with patients of all ages, especially little ones, and was previously a dental nurse - so she understands how important it is to feel comfortable in the dental chair.

Our Values
Every person - staff, patient, passer-by - is significant. That's what we believe.
Affordable and Transparent
Upfront dental costs you can view online. Transparent communication of all your options so you can choose the option most suited to you. We're taking away some of the uncertainty and fear that is so common in dentistry.
Prevention
and Empowerment
We want to help you avoid unnecessary treatment from the outset. We intentionally use innovative methods and technology to help equip you with the knowledge and tools to prevent issues from ever happening.
Patients
First
Netflix in comfy dental chairs with large TVs. Communicating in ways that matter to you. Dentists who understand your anxiety and treat you with care. Your experience is the most important part of our job.
