Our Location
Serving Penshurst Since 1919. Pain-Free Injections. Straight Answers. Treatment That Lasts
Choosing a dentist isn’t easy. If you’ve had patch-up jobs, painful injections, or been told three different stories in three different chairs, it makes sense you’d be cautious.
We see it all the time.
That’s why, at Leading Edge Dental, our approach is deliberately different. We don’t rush. We don’t push. We don’t recommend anything we wouldn’t do for ourselves.
We just take the time to do things properly, from the first conversation to the final result, and most of our patients say they’ve never felt more confident in the chair.
What Makes Our Patients Stay, Even After Four Generations
Treatment Built to Last
If you’re after a quick fix, we’re probably not the practice for you. We focus on long-term treatment that protects your teeth, functions well, and ages gracefully. It takes more thought upfront, but it pays off in the long run.
Appointments That Start On Time
We book time properly, so you’re not stuck in a crowded waiting room. 95% of appointments run on schedule. You’ll be seen, heard, and looked after not bounced around.
A Team That Doesn’t Turn Over
Dr Brett Taylor has been here since 1985. The rest of the team? Over 90 years of combined experience, all in this same location. You’ll see the same faces every visit, and no one’s rushing you out the door.
Injections You’ll Barely Notice
We’ve delivered over 80,000 pain-free injections. If we're being completely honest, the first 60,000 injections were only pretty good. Then about 10 years ago we figured out the secret combination of tricks that make a truly painless injection. These days the most common questions we get are: "Did you give me an injection?" and "Why didn't I feel anything?"
Trust Earned Over a Century
Our oldest patient has been coming here for 83 years. We have 14 patients who have been attending regularly for 60 years or longer. And guess what? They all have teeth. Regular care works (we've done the long-term research).
New Patient Offer:
Free Mouth Bug Analysis ($100 Value)
Your mouth may be trying to kill you. But how do you know? We figure out your risk by looking at the bugs in your mouth under a microscope (for free, at a new patient appointment).
Many patients these days know there is a link between gum health and general health. Gum disease has been proven to increases your risk of heart disease, diabetes, dementia, respiratory disease, arthritis, kidney disease and even some cancers. It's scary stuff and putting your head in the sand won't make the risk go away.
So we tackle the problem head on.
Book a comprehensive 70-minute examination and receive a free microscopic analysis of the bugs in your mouth (value $100).
You’ll also get:
- Photographs and ALL required x-rays (even the expensive 3D ones if needed)
- An honest assessment of your mouth and how it’s going
- Gum, decay, airway, and oral cancer screening
- Clear treatment options
Usual fee: $580 → You pay: $280
No treatment is done at this visit (unless it’s an emergency).
Focused Care. Lasting Results
We don’t offer every treatment under the sun. We concentrate on the services we know we do best, and we deliver them with care, precision, and long-term results in mind.
Dental Implants
When you lose a tooth (or several), implants offer a way to restore function, and confidence without relying on adjacent teeth. I plan them carefully (bone, bite, gum tissue) so what you get feels like part of your own mouth, not something bolted in.
All-on-4 Implants
If nearly all your teeth need replacing, All‑on‑4 can provide a fixed arch solution in fewer procedures than traditional methods. It’s not a magic quick fix, but in the right hands and properly planned, it works very well.
Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
When years of wear, missing teeth, or older dentistry have taken their toll, I rebuild. It’s not cosmetic only — it’s function, comfort, and teeth that last. We redesign, restore, and re‑balance everything.
Crowns & Veneers
Cracked, stained, worn teeth? Crowns and veneers let us restore strength and look. I use materials I trust (which I’d use on myself) and fit them precisely. No guesswork. No “close enough.”
Whitening
You’ll see more controlled, predictable results here than in any over‑the‑counter kit. We use professional systems, I monitor sensitivity, and we tailor it to your mouth rather than a one‑size‑fits all. (Yes, I love tech for this part.)
Check-Up & Clean (Airflow Spa)
This isn’t your old-fashioned “scrape and polish” (which often hurts). Our Airflow Spa uses a gentle stream of air, warm water and fine powder to remove plaque and stains more comfortably and thoroughly. Most people find it feels more like a spa treatment than a dental clean. Once you’ve tried it, you won’t want it done any other way.
Clear Aligners
We use Invisalign or Angel Aligners to straighten teeth with minimal visibility. No bulky brackets. No wires digging in your cheeks. You’ll see how teeth move—and how well we plan each step.
Root Canal Therapy
We use the latest laser technology to ensure our root canals are done to the highest possible standard. I needed a root canal myself recently. I drove past 30 specialists to get treated by a general dentist with the same laser as me.
Children’s Dentistry
I enjoy treating young patients. Starting early lets me catch small problems before they become big ones. You’ll get clear explanations and your kids will get gentle hands.
Hear From Our Patients
Beyond brilliant. Brett is a no pain genius. He has allayed my long held fear of dentists. He is patient, explains what he is doing, highly skilled and above all is incredibly kind. I have complete faith in Brett and his team.
I'm at the beginning of my much needed dental journey. Brett and I are in it for the long haul. For someone who has a massive dental phobia (for good reason!!) I managed not to run away and actually committed to the process that will allow me to smile again.
Excellent customer care and outstanding dental work. I have been to many dentists over the years but I am so glad I found this practice. As a dentist Brett's work is brilliant and he is always very professional. I would highly recommend Leading Edge Dental Practice to everyone.
My first visit today and I was instantly put at ease by Brett. His wealth of knowledge and explanation of treatments made me feel more calm than I can remember in a dentist appointment!
Thank you.
A Few Numbers That Matter
We’re not big on bragging (too much), but these are the kinds of numbers that actually mean something to our patients:
Pain-free injections delivered
Of appointments run on time
Serving the Penshurst community
Of patients still attending
A Lifetime of Care
One patient (Coral) has been with us since 1942, and yes, she still comes in
Long-Lasting Results
20+ year old smile makeovers still looking great
- When you look after people properly, they tend to stick around.
A Quick Word About Cost
We’re not the cheapest dentist in the area, and we don’t aim to be.
Our goal is to do it once, and do it well, so you’re not back in the chair six months later fixing something that should have been done properly the first time.
If that approach makes sense to you, you’ll probably feel right at home here.
How to Get Started
We don’t make it difficult. Here’s how it works:
01
Get in Touch
Call us on (02) 9580 3047
02
Come In for a Proper Look
Your first visit is all about understanding your oral health.
We’ll take X-rays and photos, check your gums, teeth, airway and overall oral health, and talk through what’s going on — clearly and calmly.
From there, we’ll plan the right next steps for you.
03
Choose What’s Right for You
You’ll get honest recommendations, a full explanation of your options, and time to think.
What if I have an emergency? (and need something fixed fast)
That’s no problem at all. Just let us know, and we’ll focus on getting you comfortable first, then book you in for a proper look appointment on another day.
