About us

Coastal Dental Care was established in 2005 by its CEO, Dr Franck Page, who continues to mentor each of our 13 practices across our Network spanning Northern New South Wales, the Gold Coast and south of Brisbane.

At Coastal Dental Care, we are a group of dentists owned by dentists. This ensures our patients receive the very best care with the personal touch of a small business.

We believe that excellence in dentistry does not finish after graduating from university, so we established the Australian Institute of Continuing Education in Dentistry (AICE) which provides ongoing professional development for all of our team members and external clients.

Our philosophy

Our staff passionately strive for dental excellence in every facet of our day, so we can make yours. This is both our professional promise and a performance benchmark that we endeavour to achieve in all of our dental care practices throughout Australia.
