Why Roseville Families Choose St Ives Smiles Dentistry

Every age in the family is looked after by the same team, from a toddler’s first check-up to adults who have always found the dentist a bit nerve-racking.

“Good dentistry isn’t about telling people what to do. It’s about giving you a clear picture of your options, then supporting the path that’s right for you.”

Dr Jeremy Hockey, principal dentist

A good fit for nervous kids?

Children are seen from their very first tooth through their teenage years, and we give younger patients the time they need to settle in. Eligible children can also use the Child Dental Benefits Schedule.

Freshening up your smile?

For a wedding, reunion or just a lift, we offer take-home and in-chair teeth whitening and veneers, with a digital preview so you can see the result before deciding. Worth planning a little ahead of the big day.

Nervous in the chair?

Happy gas and oral sedation are both given in-house by our own dentists, and IV sedation is available through a visiting sedationist for longer procedures.

Thinking about your smile?

Cosmetic options include teeth whitening, veneers and clear aligners such as Invisalign, with a digital preview so you can see the plan before deciding to go ahead.

Replacing a missing tooth?

Dental implants are planned here with a 3D CBCT scanner, and Dr Jeremy Hockey holds a Fellowship of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI).

Seeing the same dentist over the years?

Plenty of Roseville families make the trip because they would rather keep seeing the same team than start over somewhere new, with a service history in St Ives going back to 1985.

Cracked or knocked a tooth?

A knocked, cracked or aching tooth gets a same-day appointment where one is available. Call the separate emergency line on 0422 270 577 and the team will talk you through what to do next.

Keeping more under one roof?

Wisdom teeth removal, standard root canal treatment, crowns and dental implants are all treated here, so less ends up needing a referral than at many general practices. Complex or unusual cases are still referred out case by case.

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, alongside cosmetic dentistry options and clear aligner treatment such as Invisalign. If something goes wrong, emergency dentistry is fitted in the same day where possible.

From our home in St Ives, we also look after Lindfield and Killara. See the suburbs we cover, our dentist North Shore page, or our dentist St Ives 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.

Your Roseville Questions, Answered

What happens at a first visit?

A first visit typically includes a check-up, a review of dental history, and X-rays if needed, so the dentist has a full picture before recommending any treatment.

What do treatments cost at St Ives Smiles?

A guide to some common treatments:

Check-up: comprehensive exam with X-rays from $191, scale and polish from $180
Dental implant: single tooth with crown from $6,000, consultation from $360

How often should I have a dental check-up?

Healthdirect Australia and the Australian Dental Association recommend a check-up every 6 to 12 months for most people, even without any symptoms. That’s an aim rather than a fixed rule, since a dentist may recommend a different interval once they’ve seen a patient’s own teeth and gums.

When should my child first see a dentist?

Healthdirect Australia recommends bringing children in for their first dental check-up by their first birthday, or as soon as their first tooth appears, whichever comes first, with regular check-ups continuing after that.

Does St Ives Smiles accept CDBS for Roseville families?

Yes. Reception checks CDBS eligibility and the remaining benefit at the appointment, and the scheme covers a defined list of basic services: check-ups, X-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canals and extractions, though orthodontic treatment and anything cosmetic sit outside it. Eligibility depends on three things lining up in the same calendar year: Medicare cover, being aged 0 to 17 for at least part of that year, and a parent or carer receiving a qualifying payment, Family Tax Benefit Part A being the one most families already get, though it is not the only payment that counts. Nothing needs to be applied for separately; eligible families are sent a letter.

What are your opening hours?

The practice is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:30am to 5pm, Wednesday from 9am to 4pm, and Saturday by appointment. Sunday is closed.

Is St Ives Smiles taking new patients?

Yes. New patients from Roseville and across the Upper North Shore are welcome. Call (02) 9488 8378 or book online and reception will find the next available appointment.

Are there dentists already in Roseville?

Yes. Roseville sits close to Chatswood and has its own dental practices along the Pacific Highway. Families who make the trip up to St Ives Smiles are usually after the same team seeing every age of the household under one roof, with free untimed parking and, from the eastern side of the suburb, a one-bus run on the 194.

Is there free parking for patients?

Yes. Parking is free and on-site, right at the practice, unmetered and with no time limit on how long a car can stay.

What’s the fastest way to drive here from Roseville?

From the station side, the straightest run is up the Pacific Highway to Mona Vale Road, then Cowan Road and Killeaton Street, about 16 to 24 minutes outside peak hours. From the eastern side, around Archbold Road, the route climbs to Eastern Arterial Road and across into St Ives, which is a little longer.

Is there a direct bus from Roseville to St Ives?

Roseville Public School sits over on Archbold Road on the eastern side, which runs down toward Roseville Chase and the upper reaches of Middle Harbour around Echo Point. The Eastern Arterial Road ridge on that eastern side is the corridor that carries the 194 bus toward St Ives.
