About

The dentist who
teaches other dentists

Dr Aodhan Docherty graduated from the University of Sydney with honours and a University Medal, and is the founder of Exceptional Dental Academy, where he trains other dentists across Australia and internationally. He is a university examiner in oral implants and co-author of the dental textbook Practical Procedures in Implant Dentistry. When you sit in his chair, you're with someone other dentists come to learn from.

His practice at Circular Quay is built around knowing each patient's case deeply. The dentist who assesses you is the one who treats you, which means nothing gets lost between appointments.

His approach to veneers is conservative, focused on a natural result that still looks like you. Veneers are irreversible and not right for everyone, so suitability is always assessed in person, and he'll tell you if a simpler option suits you better.

Services

Every treatment, personally by Dr Docherty

Suitability is determined at an in-person consultation. Individual results vary and cannot be guaranteed.

Porcelain veneers
Porcelain Veneers

A long-lasting, natural-looking option for changing the colour, shape, or alignment of teeth. Dr Docherty takes a conservative approach focused on a result that still looks like you. Porcelain veneers are the primary cosmetic treatment at this practice and where the majority of Dr Docherty's casework sits.

Composite bonding
Composite Bonding

A tooth-coloured resin applied and shaped directly on the tooth, with no enamel removal required. A more conservative and reversible option for minor chips, gaps, or colour changes. Often a good starting point before committing to porcelain, or a standalone treatment for the right case.

Learn more
Clear aligners
Clear Aligners

Clear aligner treatment to gradually move teeth. For many patients, clear aligners are worth considering before veneers. Straightening first often means less intervention overall and a more natural result.

General dentistry

Why Dr Aodhan

Considered, conservative, personally delivered

01
One dentist, start to finish

The dentist who assesses your smile is the one who plans and places your veneers. Nothing is handed off between visits.

02
The dentist who teaches dentists

Founder of Exceptional Dental Academy, training dentists across Australia and internationally, and a published author in implant dentistry.

03
A conservative approach

Veneers are planned to keep as much of your natural tooth as is clinically possible. Some preparation is still required, and suitability is assessed in person.

04
Preview before it is permanent

Where suitable, you can see a trial of your new smile before any final veneers are made, so you understand the plan before you commit.

05
1,500+ veneer cases placed

Porcelain veneer cases personally planned and placed by Dr Aodhan, with a focus on results that look like you.

06
In the heart of Circular Quay

A calm, unhurried practice in central Sydney, with consultations available in person or by video to suit you.

How it works

A structured approach

Every treatment begins with understanding your individual situation. No procedure is recommended before a thorough assessment.

01
Complimentary Smile Discussion

Start with a complimentary, no-obligation visit to the Circular Quay clinic. You'll meet Dr Aodhan, talk through what you'd like to change, and get a clear sense of your options.

02
Clinical Assessment

Clinical photographs, digital scans, and a thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, and bite. No treatment is recommended before this is complete.

03
Treatment Planning

Options, realistic outcomes, costs, and alternatives are discussed in full. There is no obligation to proceed.

04
Informed Consent

Risks and alternatives are documented and consented to before any treatment begins.

Payment options

A clear cost, once we've met

Cosmetic dentistry is bespoke, so a price quoted before Dr Docherty has seen your teeth means very little. At your consultation you'll receive an exact, written cost for your individual case, with no pressure to proceed.

For patients who choose to go ahead, interest-free payment plans are available to make treatment more manageable. Terms and lending criteria may apply. Cosmetic dental procedures are not covered by Medicare.
