Our Twelve Gratitude’s of Christmas
Winston Churchill said that ‘Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection’. As another busy year draws to a close, and we approach our sixtieth birthday in 2019, we wanted to take some time to reflect on all that we are grateful for this year and share this gratitude with our patients.
Dr Sarah Kam, Principal Dentist:
In 2018, I am grateful for our patients. As an owner of Medland Dental, I am aware that a practice is built by its people, and at Medlands we are blessed to be surrounded by amazing staff and…
What’s happening at Medland Dental
Our days at work are so busy that we don’t often get time to enjoy each others company, and so we all look forward to getting together for our Christmas Party. This year we had a family day at Merthyr Bowls Club, enjoying the lovely cool weather and perfecting our lawn bowls technique! It was also lovely to catch up with Danielle, our former Front Office Manager who moved to Mackay earlier this year. See all the photos here.
There will also be some new faces working with Dr Kam, Dr Lillicrap and Dr Morrison next year as D…

Medlands New Look
You may have noticed that we have a new look! While we have, and will always, stand by our longterm motto of providing our patients with ‘Technical Excellence and Exceptional Care’, we wanted to acknowledge that we proudly strive for every interaction with our patients to be exceptional.

Remaining independent is particularly significant these days in an industry that is increasingly motivated by the bot…
Learning from Dr Tony Medland
Dr Tony Medland founded Medland Dental in 1959, working with his mother initially until his sister joined the practice shortly after. He changed the face of dentistry with his focus on taking exceptional care of each of his patients during a time where the dentist was feared more often than not.

The clinicians and staff at Medland Dental have remained focused on providing the very best service, and technical care…
Sausage Sizzle to support MS Australia
The team at Medland Dental don’t just specialise in dentistry, did you know we also put on a sensational sausage sizzle?On Sunday, 31st August, the team descended on Bunnings Rocklea to host a fundraiser to support our special cause, the fight to cure Multiple Sclerosis.

With perfect, sunny weather it seemed like half of Rocklea had come down to get their supplies and we were able to raise $1993.70 to donate to MS Australia bringing our grand total to date to more t…
