Mayfield Dental Care: The MS Dental Team Anna Bay Patients Visit
Anna Bay does not have an MS Dental clinic. Patients from Anna Bay travel about 46 km to Mayfield Dental Care on Maitland Road, one of the three clinics in the MS Dental group.

The Practice Anna Bay Patients Travel To
MS Dental is a family practice with clinics in Cardiff, Fletcher and Mayfield. Dr Monika Shah is the principal dentist, and Chantelle, the practice manager, looks after all three sites. Mayfield Dental Care, on the Maitland Road shopping strip, is the group's clinic for Anna Bay patients. It opens on weekdays, with Cardiff covering Saturdays for anyone who needs a weekend time.
"Dentistry with Care" is the group's motto. For people making a longer trip, it shows up in practical ways. Appointments for several family members can sit one after another. Costs come in writing, with item numbers, before treatment. Reception can gather records from a previous dentist ahead of time. These are small things, but they help when Mayfield is the better part of an hour from home.

How we work
How We Work with Patients Who Travel
Honest About Distance
Anna Bay is about 46 km from the clinic. We say so plainly, and reception can help you plan appointments so that each trip to Mayfield covers as much as is sensible.
Written Before It Starts
Each treatment comes with an explanation and a written estimate using item numbers, so you can talk it over at home and check rebates before committing.
Care for All Ages
Children are seen at an unhurried pace, eligible children may be bulk billed under CDBS, and parents and grandparents can be booked on the same morning.
Questions
Questions About Our Team
How do I find out which dentist is working on my day?
Some clinicians work at more than one MS Dental clinic, so the roster at Mayfield changes through the week. Send a message or call (02) 4023 3885 and reception will tell you who is in on the day you want.
Should I consider an implant or a denture?
That depends on your mouth and your health. Your dentist checks your gums, bone and general health first, then explains the options, the number of visits and the costs in writing. You can take that information home to Anna Bay and decide in your own time.
Who runs the day-to-day side of the practice?
Chantelle is the practice manager for MS Dental. She has been with the practice since 2017, started as practice manager at the Cardiff clinic, and now manages all three locations, including Mayfield.
