A practice that fits how Crows Nest lives
The single biggest reason people put off dental care is that getting there feels like a mission. When your dentist is somewhere you already walk past on the way to brunch or the train, a check-up stops being a project and becomes an errand.
Crows Nest runs on its village. The Willoughby Road strip, the small bars, the weekend markets crowd. Our practice was designed for the same rhythm: unhurried appointments, a calm studio rather than a clinical corridor, and a strict no-judgement policy whether it has been six months or six years since your last visit.
Dr Carlos Turk and Dr Diana Arcila have each been practising for over 25 years. Dr Arcila has a special interest in periodontics and dental implants. Between them they have seen every version of "I have been meaning to book for ages", and none of it fazes them.

Why Crows Nest patients choose Nest Dental
The Metro changed everything
Since the Crows Nest Metro opened, our studio is effectively one minute from the station entrance. Early or evening appointments barely interrupt your day, and we offer evening and Saturday hours for exactly this reason.
Comfort is engineered in, not promised
Noise-cancelling headphones, weighted blankets and Netflix on the ceiling screen. If dental anxiety has kept you away, tell us when you book and we will pace your visit around it.
Money conversations happen before treatment
Transparent pricing, itemised quotes, flexible payment plans, and Preferred Provider arrangements with NIB, CBHS, TUH, Union Health and smile.com.au that may reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
Over 270 five-star Google reviews
Local patients from Crows Nest, St Leonards and across the lower North Shore, describing the same things: clear explanations, no lectures, no surprises.
