Part of a two-location practice serving the Idalia area, the Kokoda Street clinic delivers the group's full range of general, cosmetic, restorative, and emergency dental services through a team of six experienced dentists. The practice treats patients of all ages with a mission of treating every patient as a long-term oral health partner, combining modern technology with a gentle, personalised approach.
The Kokoda Street branch benefits from the full resources and team depth of the Townsville Dental Centre group, including access to six dentists with diverse clinical backgrounds and specialty interests. The clinic is a preferred provider for Medibank Private, HCF Smiles for Life, and Teachers Union Health Fund (TUH), with Australian Unity, Defence Health, and HICAPS also accepted, meaning most insured Townsville patients can maximise their annual dental benefits here. Afterpay is available for patients who prefer to spread treatment costs over time. Emergency appointments are offered seven days a week, including Sundays by arrangement, providing genuine peace of mind for patients with urgent dental needs. The clinic uses advanced digital radiography, modern equipment, and an electronic dental record system for efficient, low-radiation diagnostics and accurate long-term patient records.

General dentistry covers check-ups, scale and cleans, fillings, periodontics, root canal treatment, wisdom tooth removal, bruxism treatment, and bad breath management. Cosmetic dentistry includes porcelain veneers, composite veneers, composite bonding, and professional Zoom teeth whitening for in-chair results. Dental implants provide a permanent tooth replacement solution, supported by crowns, bridges, and dentures for restorative cases. Children's dentistry and custom sports mouthguards are available for younger patients. Neuromuscular dentistry and sedation dentistry (happy gas) are offered for patients with dental anxiety, and teeth straightening with clear aligners including Invisalign rounds out the cosmetic and orthodontic offering.
The clinical team is led by Dr Himakshu Vyas (BSc Biomedical Sciences, 1993, with a research background in oral cancer molecular biology) and includes Dr Lakshmi Kamasani (Gulbarga University, India; 12 years of independent practice; complex restorative focus), Dr Sonia (BDS India, 1992; 26+ years experience including Indian Army service; interest in cosmetic dentistry, children's dentistry, sedation, and Invisalign), Dr Grishma Chaudhari (K M Shah Dental College, Gujarat, 2012; minimally invasive dentistry and endodontics), Dr Bindu (Gitam Dental College, India; restorative, preventive, and endodontic focus), and Dr Monica (NTR University of Health Sciences, India, 2013; complex restorations, crowns, bridges, and extractions).

Happy gas sedation is available for anxious patients and children requiring a calmer treatment environment.
The Townsville Dental Centre's Kokoda Street location serves the Idalia suburb and the wider Townsville metropolitan area, with easy road access for patients traveling from surrounding North Queensland suburbs and regional communities.

Could not be happier. They fitted me in at short notice when the endodontist was unable to treat my tooth and an extraction was required. Fast, caring, and professional

My experience at The Townsville Dental Centre was truly outstanding. Dr. Himakshu is not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient, taking the time to explain every step of the procedure clearly. His wonderful team made me feel welcome and at ease from the moment I walked in. What sets this practice apart is their genuine approach to ethical dental care. I never felt pressured into unnecessary treatments; instead, they presented all options with honesty and prioritized my long-term oral health. It's a rare find to feel so genuinely cared for by both your dentist and the entire team. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Always a pleasant experience coming here. Dr Sonia is the best and most gentle dentist I have ever been to, but she has no hesitation in telling you what you need to improve on which is exactly what should happen. Front desk is always efficient and staff are really friendly. Service is impeccable from start to finish!

An excellent dental practice from booking appointments right through to follow-up care. The entire staff treat you like you and your teeth matter as much to them as they do to you. And there's no unnecessary treatments, just good honest care from dentists with decades of experience. You will feel as comfortable at this practice as you would reclining by the pool with a cocktail in the Maldives. Go on, treat yourself; your teeth deserve it. Five stars.

My thanks to Dr. Himakshu for seeing me promptly due to a badly infected tooth from a painful abscess. Whilst I hadn’t been a client for some years, he quickly assisted with solving the problem via suitable attention and medication plus follow up. A very appreciative patient.

The Townsville Dental Centre！！！ I absolutely give this dental center a perfect score! From the moment I walked in, I felt the service was impeccable. The front desk was friendly and efficient, and the entire process was seamless, instantly dispelling any anxiety I had about going to the dentist What impressed me most was the state-of-the-art equipment. During the examination, my dentist, Dr. Himakshu, and his excellent team displayed the condition of my teeth clearly on a screen, with every detail clearly visible. It was far more professional than any clinic I've been to before. I felt virtually no discomfort throughout the treatment. Dr. Himakshu patiently explained every step of the process, the principles of treatment, and precautions in layman's terms. Even when I repeatedly asked about details, he patiently responded to every question without making me feel perfunctory From consultation to treatment, the entire process flowed like a Swiss watch, and the professionalism of the doctor and the attentive service of the team were impeccable. I sincerely recommend this to anyone needing dental treatment. This is absolutely the best dental center I've ever experienced!!!

It was my first time seeing Dr. Sonia, and I was extremely fearful. I'm a big baby 👶 when it comes to going to the dentist, especially a new one. My fears were definitely unwarranted. I had three appointments with Dr. Sonia, and I can honestly say she's the best dentist I've ever been to. 5-star service from Dr. Sonia and her lovely team. Thank you so much, everyone, for your warmth and empathy.☺️ 🙂
