Pacific Smiles Group is pleased to announce the opening of a brand new Dental Centre in the fast-growing Geelong suburb of Waurn Ponds. Pacific Smiles Dental, Waurn Ponds is located within the Medical One Building at 160 Colac Road, Waurn Ponds and opened on Monday 19 April 2010.

In a first for Pacific Smiles Group, the new Waurn Ponds Dental Centre is co-located with a general medical and allied health centre. The entire facility, known as Medical One, is a new stylish building that is well located opposite the major shopping centre extension at Waurn Ponds. It offers patients the convenience of a range of health services within one building, including general medical services, pathology, physiotherapy and podiatry services. There is also a retail pharmacy about to open on site.

The new Pacific Smiles Dental Centre opens with 2 fully equipped surgeries with a potential future capacity of up to 4 surgeries. As is the Pacific Smiles Group standard, surgeries are fitted with the latest proven technologies including digital imaging and electronic patient charting.

Patients have access to the new Centre 6 days a week and there are daily emergency appointments available, as at all Pacific Smiles Dental Centres. Dental Practitioners will offer a range of services including family and cosmetic dentistry and will participate in Medicare funded dental care schemes such as Medicare Teen Dental and the Enhanced Primary Care Scheme.

Pacific Smiles Dental, Waurn Ponds joins a growing Victorian cluster of Dental Centres around Geelong, which also includes Drysdale and Torquay.

CEO of Pacific Smiles Group, Mr John Gibbs, said he is “excited to see the expansion of the Pacific Smiles Dental network in regional Victoria where population growth and demand for dental services are both strong. The Geelong region, like the Hunter and Gippsland regions, is well suited to the unique business model of PSG.”
