Tooth Pain, Broken Tooth, or Due for a Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment?
Tooth pain, a broken tooth, nerves about coming in, or a comprehensive oral health assessment you have been meaning to book? Tell Absolute Dental Care what is happening. You do not need to know exactly what to book. New patients are welcome. If it feels urgent, call so the team can advise the earliest suitable appointment.
Pain or Broken Tooth?
Call first. Same-day emergency appointments are available when scheduling allows.

About Us
A Taringa Dental Team That Explains Things Before You Decide
Choosing a dentist is easier when you can see the history, standards and practical details behind the care. Dr Paul Rollason graduated from the University of Queensland in 1993, and Absolute Dental Care has cared for patients in Taringa since 1996. The NSQHS accredited clinic is on the ground floor of Westside Private Hospital, with parking, wheelchair access and convenient transport options for patients.
What to Expect
If You Have Been Putting This Off, Start Here
Maybe it is pain. Maybe it is embarrassment about how long it has been. Maybe it is cost. Start with the concern you can describe, and the team can help you work out the appointment type, likely next steps and what needs a dentist's attention sooner.
Start With the Problem
Sore tooth, chipped filling, due for a comprehensive oral health assessment or nerves about coming in? You can say that first. You do not need the dental terminology.
Costs Before Decisions
If treatment is recommended, the team can talk you through estimates, detailed quotes and payment options before you decide.
Urgent? Call First
Tooth pain, swelling or a broken tooth can change your day quickly. A call helps the team advise the earliest suitable appointment.
Comprehensive Oral Health Assessments With a Purpose
A preventive visit can help find small concerns earlier, with oral hygiene care, digital x-rays where needed and oral cancer screening.
After-Work Options
Tuesday and Thursday appointments run until 7pm, which can make it easier to book around work, school and family timing.
Tools With a Purpose
Digital dentistry and laser dentistry may support assessment, planning and treatment when they are clinically suitable.
Why Choose Absolute Dental Care in Taringa?
The clinic is established in the area, easy to find on Morrow Street, and set up for practical visits. That matters when you are booking around pain, work, family or a dental concern you have delayed for too long.
