Generations of dental care, familiar faces and clear options, all in one convenient Brisbane CBD location.

Generations of dental care, familiar faces and clear options, all in one convenient Brisbane CBD location.
Continuing the legacy of service to the Brisbane CBD community since 2003.
Some dental visits are planned months ahead. Others start with a toothache that wasn't there yesterday. Either way, it helps to have a dentist who knows you, takes the time to explain what's going on, and gives you clear options. Our three dentists provide care for patients of different ages and needs, from regular checkups and unexpected dental problems to implants, clear aligners, cosmetic dentistry and more. And because your dentist looks after you throughout your visit, you'll see a familiar face rather than being passed from one person to the next.
Getting established with a new dentist doesn't need to be complicated. Your first visit gives you time to meet your dentist, talk about any concerns and get a clearer picture of your oral health.
Your visit includes a dental checkup and professional clean. If your dentist finds something that needs attention, they'll explain what they found and talk through your options before booking anything further. Health fund eligibility and terms and conditions apply.
A filling comes loose over lunch. A tooth starts throbbing halfway through the workday. You wake up with swelling that wasn't there the night before. Dental problems aren't particularly good at checking your calendar first. First Dental Studio offers emergency appointments for toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, lost fillings, dental infections and other unexpected concerns. If something doesn't feel right, give us a call, and we'll let you know what appointment availability we have. Being in the heart of Brisbane CBD also makes it easier to have a problem checked when you're already in the city for work, study or the day.
Routine dentistry may be what brings many patients through the door, but sometimes there's a bigger question on your mind. How could I replace this missing tooth? Is there a less noticeable way to straighten my teeth? Could an oral appliance be an option for my diagnosed sleep apnoea?
Those conversations are welcome here too.
NEW PATIENTSDental implants are one option for replacing a missing tooth or several teeth. The practice uses Straumann® dental implants, with planning based on your oral health, the location and number of missing teeth, and other individual factors. Your consultation is also a chance to compare implants with alternatives such as bridges or dentures and ask the questions that matter to you.
If you want to straighten your teeth without fixed braces, removable aligners may be worth discussing. Both Invisalign® and ClearPath® aligners are available, giving your dentist different options to consider based on your teeth and what you'd like to change.
An assessment is the starting point for determining whether aligners may suit you.
For some people diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea, a custom mandibular advancement splint may be considered as part of their management. The appliance positions the lower jaw forward during sleep, with the aim of helping maintain the upper airway. The practice works with local sleep clinics and can discuss whether an oral appliance may be an option based on your diagnosis and individual circumstances.
People come through our doors for many reasons. One person might be due for a clean, while the next has chipped a tooth, needs a crown or wants to ask about whitening. That's why First Dental Studio provides a broad range of dental services in one CBD location. Your dentist can assess what's happening, explain the options that may suit you and help you decide how you'd like to proceed.
What is it?
Six-monthly visits combine a full mouth check with a professional clean, giving your dentist an opportunity to identify changes or concerns in your oral health. Each appointment includes a conversation about oral hygiene habits, and if further care is ever needed, options get explained clearly before anything else is booked in.
Who is it for?
Suited to every patient, from those coming in for a first checkup to long-term patients keeping their smile on track between visits.
Potential Benefits

Potential Benefits

Straumann® dental implants are one option for replacing one or several missing teeth. An implant is placed in the jaw and restored with a replacement tooth. An initial consultation helps determine whether implants may be suitable and allows you to compare them with options such as a bridge or denture.
Who is it for?
Adults missing one or more teeth who would like to explore a fixed tooth-replacement option.
Potential Benefits

Who is it for?
People diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea who have been advised that an oral appliance may be appropriate, including some people who have difficulty using CPAP.
Potential Benefits
Seeing the same dentist over time means they get to know your dental history, your concerns and what matters to you when decisions need to be made. That's been part of the approach here for years.
Dr Vincent graduated from the University of Queensland with first-class honours in 2003 and took over the practice that same year. He continues his professional development through regular education and his involvement with the Infusion Dental Study Club. His thoughtful approach and calm, welcoming manner reflect the care he brings to each appointment.
Dr Allen graduated from the University of Queensland with first-class honours in 2009 before joining his brother at the practice. He provides general dental care and has particular interests in preventative dentistry, root canal care, and crown and bridge work. Fluent in English and Cantonese, he enjoys the variety dentistry brings and getting to know the people sitting in his chair.
Dr Jenny completed a Bachelor of Dental Health Science and Master of Dentistry at Griffith University. Her particular interests include preventative care, orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry. She speaks English and Korean and takes the time to explain options clearly so patients can make informed choices about their dental care.
Long before smartphones, clear aligners, or digital dentistry, our dental practice already stood at this location. Its story stretches back to the 1920s, when it was a single-practitioner office about a quarter of its current size. For years, Dr Angelo Nicholas (Dentist) ran the practice alongside his nephew, Dr Michael Mandikos (Dentist). While lecturing at the University of Queensland, Dr Michael met a dental student, Vincent Wan, and invited him to join the practice.
Dr Vincent took over from the previous owner in 2003. His brother, Dr Allen, later joined him, and Dr Jenny Ahn is now part of the three-dentist team. A lot has changed since those early days. The idea of getting to know the people who trust you with their teeth hasn't.
When your dentist is in the CBD, fitting an appointment into an already busy day can be a little simpler.

We work with major health funds, and eligible patients can use available payment options. If you're unsure about your cover or the cost of recommended dental care, ask our team before booking.
