New Periodontist and an Oral Surgeon Join FDS !
& Expanding Your Patient’s Options with More Locations
We are pleased to introduce Dr James Carrigy (Registered Periodontist) who will be providing sessions from our Taringa and Sunshine Coast rooms. James is also available to see patients at the new FDS facility ; Brisbane Northside – Strathpine.
James is happy to receive referrals for all routine periodontal and implant matters. And yes – James is John & Bronwyn’s son.
We are also pleased to introduce Dr Devie Falinda (Registered Oral Surgeon) who will be providing a full range of Oral Surgery Support from our Mountain Creek and Tewantin Clinics – with IV sessions available.
Phone 5444 2800 for referral pads / appointments
Oral Medicine Specialist – Dr Simon Moore.
We are very fortunate to have Dr Simon Moore providing services for FDS out of our three main facilities (Taringa, Strathpine and Mountain Creek). Simon also provides visiting branch services to the Noosa/Tewantin clinics and bimonthly Hervey Bay.
Our other Periodontists & “Shared Care” team
At FDS we don’t have any in-house hygienists – this is a clinical choice to try to enhance a team approach to patient care with referring practices – bringing their hygiene cells back into the supportive care role as soon as possible. We endeavour to provide regular clinical updates on patient progress – however – you are always welcome to contact our team at any time for further patient treatment details.
New Location to the North – Noosa / Tewantin
Keeping to the philosophy that it is often easier for the specialist team to move about – rather than having patients travel excessive distances for care, FDS has opened a branch at Noosa / Tewantin on the north of the Sunshine Coast. This will initially be principally an “Dental Implant, Oral Medicine & Oral Surgery Centre” – with services gradually expanded to include Periodontics throughout 2022.

FDS “fresh air” initiative – HUB Facilities 
FDS now provides support from three clinical chairs in Brisbane West – Taringa, four chairs Brisbane North – Strathpine and four more chairs on the Sunshine Coast – Mountain Creek. More recently three more chairs have been brought on-line at Sunshine Coast – North = Noosa / Tewantin. All facilities are state-of-the-art with central sterilising departments and a ‘Covid Fresh Air’ initiative where the clinic air volume is exhausted out of the building between each patient, keeping aerosol contamination risks to a minimum.
This system can also be used during treatment to maintain a ‘negative pressure’ clinic.
