About First Dental Studio
A Century in the Making
First Dental Studio has been part of Brisbane CBD since the 1920s, back when it was a single-practitioner dental office about a quarter of the size it is today. 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 got to know a student named Vincent Wan and invited him to come aboard.
Vincent jumped at the chance to learn from two experienced dentists, and before long, he’d become a partner himself. His brother, Dr Allen Wan (Dentist), joined not long after, and today the practice continues under their care, alongside general dentist Dr Jenny Ahn (Dentist). A hundred years on, it’s still a family affair, just with a much bigger patient family than the practice started out with.
A Team That Sees You Through
One thing that’s stayed constant over the decades: with us, you see a dentist, not a rotating cast of hygienists. Vincent, Allen, and Jenny each handle their own patients from start to finish, so the person who greets you is the same one looking after your teeth. That continuity can make it easier to get to know your dentist over years of visits.
Dental Care for Every Stage of Life
We look after patients of every age, from kids getting their first checkup to adults managing decades-old dental work. Whether you’re after a routine clean, straighter teeth, a brighter smile, or something more involved like a crown or a root canal, our team handles general and preventative dentistry, cosmetic work, orthodontics, and restorative care all under one roof. Our CBD location on Albert Street makes it simple to fit an appointment around a workday or a school run, and we work with all major health funds to keep things straightforward on the day.
