Looking for a dentist in the Inner West?

A practice Inner West families choose on purpose

The Inner West has plenty of dental clinics, so patients who travel to Marsfield usually do so for a reason. Some have followed the same dentist here for years. Others come on a family recommendation, or because they want unhurried appointments and a team that explains the options before any work starts.

We are honest about where we are. Marsfield sits in Sydney's north near Macquarie University, not in the Inner West itself, so this is a practice patients choose to travel to rather than a clinic around the corner. The trip is a manageable one, and many patients time it with study or work near Macquarie Park, or take the train in and the Metro the rest of the way.

The patients who travel to us are a real mix, from young families booking children and adults together to older patients weighing up dentures or implants. Many prefer to be seen in Cantonese, Mandarin or another language they feel at home in. What they share is a preference for a practice that knows their history and explains the options clearly, rather than the nearest available appointment.

Why patients make the trip

  • Continuity. The same dentists and team at every visit.
  • Everything in one place. General, cosmetic, implant and denture care without referrals across town.
  • Care in your language. English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Malay, Hokkien and French.
  • Honest planning. Options and costs explained before treatment begins.

Dr Andrew Ip is a very professional and experienced dentist. I had a check up, clean and fissure sealant. He was very gentle and addressed my concerns. Dr Mary Choo is also great. She is a veteran when it comes to dentistry. I felt safe during covid times as they seem to have air purifiers in the waiting room and ensure the room is not full. I recommend them both and will definitely be coming back!

Dr Mary Choo is an amazing Dentist. Dr Mary has been my dentist for many years now. Like so many people my age ,I have negative feelings and fears from my childhood experiences from my then dentist. From the moment you enter the practise in Marsfiled you know you are in the best hands. Thank you and your fantastic staff for your knowledge and skills in dentistry. Thank you for always putting your clients needs and problems first. Love you Dr Mary and also a big thank you to your son Andrew,another wonderful dentist. Sue Churcland.

I have a really good experience at this clinic. Dr Ip takes his time to explain to me what procedure I am about to go through and it helps me to reduce my anxiety level. He does fabulous works for my teeth and treats me gently and professionally. The staffs there are always friendly and ready to help while the clinic is clean and relaxing. Couldn't have ask for a better dentist and dental clinic!

I'd highly recommend Dr Ip to all my friends and family. He is professional and thorough, most importantly he is gentle and considerate of my needs as a patient and took the time to explain things to me. All the staff at Marsfield Dental Care are friendly and made my last check up appointment very relaxing. The whole appointment from start to finish went smoothly. It was so easy to process my private health fund claim too. I've definitely found the dental practice suitable for me. Highly recommended for anyone!!

I have always been afraid to go to the dentist, but my daughter recommended the dentists at Marsfield Dental Care. She said that they had heaps of experience and were really gentle. I made an appointment and had to have a root canal and a bridge placed. It was a really comfortable experience and I would definitely trust to have my teeth done there again. Dr. Andrew Ip was professional and meticulous, he really looked after me well and I am forever grateful for his care in making sure my toothache was gone and helping me to chew again.

Mary Choo remains my family dentist till this very day. I particularly liked their expertise and professionalism in dealing with my teeth. They are always willing to provide advice when I need it most and provide a service unmatched in quality and technical skill. I recently saw one of their newer dentists and I was equally impressed. I'm happy to continue seeing Dr Choo and her associates and would strongly recommend them.

Where is the practice, and how far is it from the Inner West?

That is a manageable trip north of the Inner West, by car via Parramatta Road and the City West Link, or by rail with the Metro connecting to Macquarie University. We are not located in the Inner West itself, so patients travel to us.

We are a preferred provider for BUPA, Medibank, nib and CBHS, with HICAPS on site so eligible patients can claim on the spot and pay only the gap. We also accept NSW Oral Health Fee for Service vouchers where they apply. Bring your fund card and we will process the claim for you.

Can I be seen in a language other than English?

Yes. Our team can care for you in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Malay, Hokkien and French. Let reception know your preference when you book so we can arrange it.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

I am a new patient. What happens first?

Your first visit is usually a check-up and clean with a full look at your teeth, gums and any concerns you raise. If you need treatment, we explain the options, likely cost and timing before anything goes ahead. Families are welcome to book children and adults together.
