"Tim walked me through every step before he did anything. I left actually understanding what was going on in my own mouth, which honestly was a first."Caboolture local · Google Review
Gentle, honest dentistry from Dr Tim O'Connell-Maritz. A Caboolture family practice that explains what's going on before anything happens, tells you what it costs before you sit down, and treats you like a person rather than a mouth.
Dr Tim O'Connell-Maritz has been practising for twenty-five years. He opened this Caboolture clinic in 2018 because he wanted somewhere that ran like a country dentist used to: small team, no upsell, prices you can see before you sit down.
You'll meet him at the front desk before you meet him in the chair. He walks you through what he's seeing, what your options are, and what each one costs. No jargon, no pressure, no "we'll just go ahead and do that today" surprises on the invoice.
"You're not just a mouth with teeth. You're a person, and we treat the whole person."
If you've put off the dentist for a while, Tim's the one to come back to. Sedation is available for nervous patients, the consult is eighty-five dollars, and you'll leave knowing exactly what's next.
A general family practice that handles routine cleans through to implants and orthodontics in the one chair. If Tim can do it well, he does it. If you'd be better off with a specialist, he'll tell you and refer you on.
Six-month check-ups, scale and polish, fluoride. The thorough kind where Tim actually talks you through the X-rays before he picks up a tool.
Adults · Kids · SeniorsToothache, broken tooth, lost filling, swollen gum. Ring before nine and we'll usually fit you in that day. Honest triage, honest quote.
Mon-Fri · Walk-in welcomeIn-chair whitening, take-home trays, composite and porcelain veneers. Tim will show you the before-and-after photos of work he's actually done.
Quotes given on the spotWhite composite fillings, ceramic crowns, bridges, and full implant restorations. Big jobs broken into staged appointments where you choose when to proceed.
Stage by stage · No pressureHappy gas, oral sedation, and IV sedation for the seriously nervous. Big procedures can be done under general anaesthetic if needed.
For nervous patientsTraditional braces and clear aligners for teens and adults. Free initial consult to see what's realistic for your teeth and your budget.
Free consultMost dental practices won't quote until you're already in the chair. Tim publishes the prices because he thinks you have a right to know before you book. These are the everyday items. Big jobs get a written quote, in person, before anything starts.
Full exam, scale and polish, fluoride, two bitewing X-rays. The works. About forty-five minutes.
If you'd like to meet Tim, talk through a concern, and get a written treatment plan before committing to anything else.
Standard single-surface composite filling. Most fillings come in around this. Bigger ones quoted on the day.
Straightforward tooth extraction with local anaesthetic. Surgical extractions and wisdom teeth quoted separately.
Per canal, single visit where possible. Crown afterwards is recommended and quoted separately so you can plan.
Prices shown apply to most cases and were last updated in 2026. Complex work gets a written quote before we start. We accept all health funds and process HICAPS on the spot.
