We go the extra smile for our patients to provide exceptional personalised service that they won’t get at any other dentist.
It probably comes as no surprise that we’re proficient in all dental practices and treatments, but did you know we’re well-regarded for our anxiety management and dental education as well? It’s part of what makes the Thomas Zimmermann experience a memorable one.

Kid’s Dentistry
Many adults suffer dental-anxiety because of poor experiences they had as children. We focus on preventing this early by providing your child with a relaxed session. As part of this, we can playout a fun mock-exam on their favourite toy. This allows them to get to know Tom, and they know what to anticipate as Tom demonstrates procedures first on their bear, doll, or action figure.
If your child is coming in for a visit, we encourage you to bring their special toy along. It gives them something comforting to cuddle while they’re in the chair and the exam always brings a smile to their face.
Anxiety Management
It’s okay and very normal to feel nervous about visiting a dentist. Aside from looking after your teeth, we’re here to help alleviate any anxiety about the procedures we’ll be doing to make your visit as comfortable as possible.
Tom’s calming bedside manner is complemented by his ability to simply break procedures down into easy-to-understand language. He can also demonstrate how each dental tool works so you can see, hear, and feel (on the back of your hand) what is going to happen before it happens. Most importantly, he begins the session by listening to, and addressing, any concerns you may have.
Tom has a knack for managing anxiety without the use of medical sedation. Although it can be provided, we find our relaxed atmosphere means it’s rarely needed. However, if you’d feel more comfortable with sedation, it is available on request.
Dental Education
Tom’s main focus is on dental education and prevention. He always tries to intervene before in-depth dentistry is required, so patients aren’t left with unexpected out-of-pocket expenses. Part of this is providing simple, tailored dental management and preventative treatment plans that patients can use at home. Early intervention and home-care means less trips to the dentist for you and more money in your pocket.
