Exceptional Dental Care with a Gentle Touch

At Smile Centric, we believe that exceptional dental care goes beyond technical expertise – it’s about creating a comfortable, pain-free, and transparent experience for every patient. Led by Dr. Navneet Karan, a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, our practice combines advanced dental expertise with a warm, patient-centered approach.

Meet Dr. Navneet Karan - Your Trusted Newcastle and Maitland Dentist

As a distinguished Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, Dr. Nav brings exceptional skill and expertise to complex dental cases. Since 2017, he has been serving the Newcastle and Hunter region with a unique philosophy: dentistry should be a comfortable, positive experience for everyone.

Our Approach to Your Dental Care

• Pain-Free Dentistry: Experience truly comfortable dental care
• Transparent Communication: Clear explanations of your treatment options
• Personalized Treatment: Solutions tailored to your unique needs
• Complex Case Management: Expert handling of challenging dental situations
• Patient Education: Empowering you to make informed decisions about your oral health

Comprehensive Dental Services

• Complex Smile Rehabilitation

  If you have been putting off going to the dentist, then often there are a lot of problems that need to be addressed. Dr. Nav’s training allows him to manage more complex cases and bring your smile back to something you can feel comfortable in.

• Cosmetic Crowns, Veneers, and Orthodontics

  Crowns are the designated choice of restoration for teeth that require large-scale rehabilitation. They mesh well with veneer work and allow for extremely aesthetic results with a lot of control over color, shape, and size. Dr. Nav has placed over 1000 crowns in the last 5 years and has exceptional skill in placing them comfortably.

  Veneers are thin wafers of porcelain or resin placed over the enamel to reproduce a desired look for a tooth or set of teeth. Dr. Nav’s expertise in the delivery of veneers is highly sought after.

  Aligner orthodontics have improved to the point where most cases of dental crowding can be corrected with aligners. These involve less discomfort, generally faster treatment times, and more control for the patient throughout the process.

• Dental Implants

  Dental implants are the gold standard of tooth replacement. In the unfortunate circumstance of having to lose a tooth, an implant can restore your function and smile. Dr. Nav is skilled with single and multi-unit implant systems and is able to use advanced surgical skills to deliver these solutions where necessary.

• General Dental Care

  Not everyone needs highly comprehensive dental care. Routine dental care is also provided by Dr. Nav.

Why Choose Dr Nav?

• Patient-centric approach to dental care
• Expertise in managing complex cases
• Commitment to pain-free dentistry

A Different Kind of Dental Experience

“Going to the dentist should not be scary; rather, not going to the dentist for your routine check-ups can lead to long-term oral health problems. I strive to give all my patients a comfortable and relaxed experience with my expertise in the field and use of Pain-free Dentistry.” - Dr. Navneet Karan

What to Expect with Dr. Nav

Experience the difference of patient-centered dental care:

• Comprehensive Consultation

  A deep dive into your dental health with cutting-edge technology. Whether it’s your regular visit, your first time in a long time, or your very first time, be assured Dr. Nav will go over all aspects of your oral health and discuss all his findings with you.

• Detailed Treatment Planning

  Dr. Nav collaborates with his patients to achieve the ideal treatment plan. Dental treatment is complex and multifactorial, particularly for those who haven’t been in a long time. Many items, including time, cost, and expectations, need to be considered before a final plan can be achieved.

• Clear Communication

  Good health care and good dentistry involve excellent communication. Dr. Nav prides himself on his ability to communicate with his patients in such a way that they feel in control of their oral health.

• Comfortable Environment

  Your comfort is our top priority. Many people feel uneasy and anxious at the dentist. Dr. Nav and the team aim to provide as comfortable an environment as possible to receive the dental care you require.

• Transparent Pricing

  All costs are discussed prior to commencing any treatment. Written treatment plans are given for larger treatments, and we welcome questions regarding pricing.

• Flexible Scheduling

  We would love to work with your busy schedule and offer appointments that fit most lifestyles and work schedules.
