Dental Society (formerly part of St Clair Medical and Dental Centre) is a modern, comprehensive dental practice located at St Clair Village Shopping Centre, Shop 11–14, 40 Cheltenham Parade, St Clair, South Australia 5011, Adelaide, Australia. The practice grew from humble beginnings as the dental arm of St Clair Medical & Dental Centre, which was established from scratch in St Clair in 2015 and quickly became a trusted healthcare destination in Adelaide's inner-western suburbs. The dental and medical services have since separated into distinct branded entities — Dental Society handling all dental care, and St Clair Medical continuing as the medical practice — while remaining co-located at the same convenient shopping centre address in St Clair. Dental Society serves patients from St Clair, Woodville, Cheltenham, Hendon, Woodville North, and the broader Port Adelaide Enfield district, delivering a full spectrum of general, restorative, cosmetic, and pediatric dental services to families and individuals across western Adelaide.
Since its foundation, Dental Society has built a strong reputation in the St Clair community for warm, patient-focused care delivered using state-of-the-art technology. The practice's team — comprising experienced dentists with special interests in orthodontics, alongside qualified oral health therapists — provides patients with comprehensive, personalized treatment plans in a welcoming, modern clinical environment. Dental Society accepts a wide range of Australian health funds, offers online booking available 24/7 for instant confirmation, and caters to patients of all ages — with a particular commitment to making dental care accessible and affordable for families across Adelaide's western suburbs.
