Who You’ll See at the Practice
Dr Jeremy Hockey and Ms Theresa Tran-Nguyen have owned and run St Ives Smiles since 2022, leading a team that still includes founding dentist Dr Bentley Sacks. Previously known as Dr Bentley Sacks’ Dental Surgery, we are a long-standing dental practice of over 30 years, caring for the North Shore from St Ives. Dr Hockey also holds a Fellowship of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI).
Most visits start with general dentistry, the check-ups, cleans and fillings that keep a family’s teeth healthy, with cosmetic dentistry such as teeth whitening and clear aligners for anyone after a different finish. Children’s dentistry is often booked alongside a parent’s visit, and emergency care is fitted in the same day where possible.
From our home in St Ives, we care for families across the Upper North Shore, including Gordon, Pymble, Turramurra, Killara, Wahroonga, Lindfield and Roseville. See our dentist North Shore page, or head to our St Ives dental practice home page.
At St Ives Smiles Dentistry, we aim to provide you with quality and caring dental service whilst incorporating the ever evolving modern age of dentistry.
