About Oaks Avenue Dental

We are proud to be the leading Northern Beaches family dentists … and since 1980, our focus has been set firmly on providing exceptional and affordable gentle dental care to families of Dee Why, the Northern Beaches and beyond.

Dental excellence for over 40 years

Ian Pelling started his dental practice in 1980, determined to deliver professional, modern and affordable dental care to local families.

“Making sure that every patient is happy and has had a successful health outcome is what drives me and still keeps me smiling all these years later.”

Ian’s gentle dental care, his dedication to his patients and his love of the work have led to long-standing relationships with thousands of local families.

He has some families where four generations are patients of the practice.

Expertise and excellence hub

Our dentists are experienced professionals who take pride in delivering the best quality dental care. We undertake constant continuing education to ensure we offer our patients the most modern treatment options.

For example, we use an intra-oral camera which replaces the traditional mirror and allows you to see what the dentist is seeing in your mouth.

We are conveniently situated in Dee Why’s dental suite with specialist orthodontists, periodontists, prosthodontist and advanced X-ray facilities all available in our building.

Affordable dental care

We are committed to delivering patient-focused care at affordable prices.

You’ll always know in advance how much any treatment is likely to cost… and we update you every step of the way.

We bulk bill if any of your family members are on the CDBS (Child Dental Benefits Schedule).

Making dentistry affordable for every family is extremely important to us.

Family focused and child friendly

We know how resistant children can be to the thought of going to the dentist. It can be an anxious time, so making their visit comfortable, painless and relaxing is crucial early on.

We have a TV in each dental room, and our fun, green glasses, stickers and cameras make this experience memorable.

Our Dentists are passionate about children’s dental health, and their calm, familiar and friendly manner ensures visits to the dentist are as stress free and fun as possible.
