Serving the Northern Beaches since 2009

A small team who have worked together for years.

We are not a big corporate clinic, and that is rather the point. Mona Vale Dental has been privately owned since 2009, led by Dr Alistair Graham and a small team who have worked together for years and take the time to know you. Freshwater locals come to us for that personal feel: honest advice, familiar faces at every visit, and appointments that are never rushed, even when life is.

The people looking after you

Mona Vale Dental is owned and led by Dr Alistair Graham, who has practised for more than 25 years. He earned his Bachelor of Dental Surgery at the University of Bristol and a Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry in Oral Implants at the University of Sydney. A Digital Smile Design Master and educator, he directs the Northern Beaches International Team for Implantology Study Club, a group of dentists he leads to discuss complex cases and advances in modern dentistry, named International Team for Implantology Study Club of the Year 2026. Working with him are Dr Chase Gatland and a long-standing hygiene team, so you are cared for by people who remember you.

“Good dental care starts with understanding the full picture.”

Coming from Freshwater

The trip from Freshwater is a straightforward run north up Pittwater Road through Dee Why, roughly 13 kilometres. Outside peak times it is an easy drive along one main road most of the way.

Plenty of our patients know the area well from time around Freshwater Beach, a meal at Harbord Diggers or a walk along The Strand. You will find our practice on Waratah Street in the middle of Mona Vale village, a short walk from the shops and the sand, so it is easy to turn an appointment into a morning by the water.
