Continuity of care

At Toowong Orthodontics you will only ever see the one orthodontist for the entirety of your treatment. Your personal treatment will take place at our centrally located clinic in Toowong with no need to ever travel to another practice location for appointments.

Friendly atmosphere

Our team members build genuine relationships with patients who we see over the months of their course of treatment. We’ve created a warm and friendly atmosphere and patients have told us that they chose us for the ‘vibe’ they felt when they walk through our front door.

Personalised treatment

It’s all about you! Dr Goodyear will update you each visit about your progress to ensure you feel involved in your treatment and understand what is happening every step of the way. We spend this extra time with our patients. At Toowong Orthodontics you’re more than just a number.
