OUR PRACTICE
The feeling of belonging is translated into how we approached the look and feel of Toowoomba Dental Practice to emit a welcoming feeling.
Previously home to Mr & Mrs Jack & Annie Bolt in 1936, we have lovingly and carefully retrofitted this home into our own. Keeping as much of the original character as possible, our practice maintains its homely feeling. We are proud to call this 'home' for Toowoomba Dental, we hope you do too.
