About
First QIP Accredited Dental Practice in WA
The Quality in Practice (QIP) accreditation is awarded by the Australian Dental Association (ADA) to practices that meet all quality, safety and excellence standards as maintained by the ADA. These include medication safety, infection control, care procedures and more. Southbridge Dental was the first practice in Western Australia to receive the recognition.
A Customised Treatment Experience
Your values and goals are different than that of your neighbour. So are your oral health needs. When you come to Southbridge Dental for care, we want to get to know you on a personal level to cater recommendations appropriate to your current and future oral health goals.
Anytime we recommend a particular type of treatment, we will share information with you through digital X-rays and imaging technology that allows you to see what we see. After presenting all viable options to you, we will outline the appropriate care plan including all associated fees that are involved. You will never have to expect the unexpected when it comes to treatment expenses.

CHAT
Dr Louise Winters has volunteered with the Children’s Health Aid Team (CHAT) providing dental services to disadvantaged children and their carers at orphanages, temples and schools in remote communities in Vietnam. Sadly, the pandemic halted this wonderful charity for a while. But trips are now resuming so she looks forward to resuming her volunteer work with CHAT soon. If you would like to donate or support this charity, please visit their website. https://www.chatinc.org.au/
Kimberly Dental Team Ltd (KDT)
The Kimberley Dental Team is a team of visiting volunteers from the dental profession and allied health professionals, aiming to enhance current resources and levels of dental care for indigenous children and their families in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
Dr Simon Shanahan, Dr Milly Woon and assistant Louise Richards have volunteered on multiple trips since 2014. Donating a week at a time, they work long hard days delivering dental care to as many people as they can, and camp in swags under the Kimberly stars each night. What an incredible way to give back to those in need of care in such a remote pate of our state.
For information on Simon’s most recent trip to the Kimberly and for more information about the KDT and how to support them please visit http://www.kimberleydentalteam.com/.
