Our Dental Services

Gentle and Stress-Free Treatment

We treat each of our patients as though you are a member of the family. With advances in modern anaesthetics, we’re able to use injection techniques that reduce or eliminate pain during all treatments.

Our pain-free treatments reduce stress and anxiety when visiting our Ipswich dental clinic. We exercise great care, have high standards of workmanship and infection control. To ensure high quality treatment, we only use local Australian laboratories for any prosthetic work.

Our Recall Program and Fees

Camira Dental offers a recall program that provides preventative dental care to the Ipswich community. We’ll book you in for an examination and clean when you join the program.

After the initial visit, dental exams, cleans and x-rays (as required) are bulk-billed to your health fund, or heavily discounted for those who don’t have a health fund.

Regular treatment is the best way to look after your teeth, gums and oral health. Camira dental is committed to providing the best care, and our recall program ensures you’re always up to date with your oral health needs.

About Us

Camira Dental is a family-owned and operated dentist located in Ipswich. The clinic is run by husband and wife team Ellen Pun and James Nguyen.

Founded in 1992, Camira Dental became the first dentist in the Camira area. With no other dental clinics in the surrounding suburbs, Camira Dental was able to meet the needs of the growing Springfield corridor.

As the population grew, Camira Dental was quickly able to establish itself as a leading practice. The business has grown in the years since, and we continue to offer trusted dental services to the local Ipswich community.

We’re proud to make it easier for Ipswich and Springfield locals to access dental services. Our clinic is easy to visit, with free parking available on-site. We also offer extended hours until 8pm from Monday to Thursday, as well as Saturday morning appointment times. We accept all health funds.

If you have any questions or concerns about your dental health, give our friendly team of Ipswich dentists a call.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best practices for maintaining dental hygiene at home between visits?

We recommend visiting Camira Dental for a general examination every 6 months. In between visits, you should:

  • Brush and floss your teeth twice a day

  • Use a fluoride toothpaste when brushing teeth

  • Avoid soft drinks and sugary foods

  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day

You can also use mouthwash once per day. Mouthwash generally isn’t necessary if you are brushing and flossing your teeth correctly. Avoid using mouthwash to mask bad breath – this can be a sign that something is wrong with your oral health.
You should also make a note of any concerns you have about your teeth and gums. That way, we can examine your teeth properly during your next appointment.

How do I know if I need a dental filling or another type of treatment for a cavity?

Most tooth cavities can be treated with dental fillings, as long as the problem is caught early on. You’ll need to book an appointment with your dentist to find out if your issue can be treated with a filling, or if options such as a dental crown are more appropriate.
Book an appointment as soon as possible if you think you have a cavity. The sooner we treat the problem, the better.

What options are available for pain management during dental procedures?

We primarily use local anaesthetic for pain management during dental procedures. A local anaesthetic can be injected into your gums, numbing the nerves attached to your teeth and gums. We also apply a topical anaesthetic cream to your gums to ensure you don’t experience any pain from the injection.

How often should children visit the dentist, and what should I expect during their appointments?

Children should visit Camira Dental for a general examination every 6 months. During their appointment, we’ll discuss any issues you are concerned about, examine your child’s teeth and gums, and provide a scale and clean.

We may also take x-rays of your child’s teeth to check their internal condition. For healthy teeth and gums, we generally only take x-rays every 2-3 years. We may recommend more frequent examinations and x-rays for teeth that need additional care.

How can dental care be adjusted for patients with specific health conditions or anxieties?

Everyone at Camira Dental understands that visiting the dentist can be a stressful and uncomfortable experience. If you are anxious about your visit, we can discuss what we’re doing and provide options, which may include light sedation.

We also ask that you share any existing health conditions with our dentistry professionals. Some health conditions can affect your oral health, or they may require additional care during examinations and treatments.


Whatever the case may be, we’ll make sure you receive the best treatment for your health, and we can adjust our procedures in any way that’s necessary.

What should I do in case of a dental emergency, and how can I manage the situation until I see a dentist?

Contact us immediately if you are experiencing a dental emergency. We will make time to address the problem as soon as possible. If Camira Dental is closed, you can use paracetamol to reduce pain and control inflammation.

For cracked teeth, save the pieces of the tooth and contact us as soon as possible. For teeth that are knocked out, replace the tooth in your gum immediately and call us. It’s possible to save a knocked out tooth if you seek immediate treatment from a dental professional.

If you are in severe pain, attend your nearest hospital for pain relief and treatment.
