For many people, going to the dentist brings a flicker of nerves. That feeling is one reason some practices put extra focus on comfort, communication, and helping patients understand what to expect.
Australia’s Top Dentists is pleased to feature Leederville Dental, a dental practice located on Scarborough Beach Road in Mt Hawthorn. The clinic provides general, cosmetic, surgical, and emergency dental care, with particular support for patients who feel anxious about dental treatment.
About Leederville Dental
Leederville Dental is based at 97 Scarborough Beach Road, Mt Hawthorn WA 6016, close to Leederville and Perth’s inner suburbs.
The practice sees patients from Mt Hawthorn, Leederville, Wembley, Subiaco, Mt Lawley, North Perth, and surrounding areas. It provides everyday dental care as well as more involved treatment, including preventive dentistry, cosmetic consultations, dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, and emergency care.
The practice is led by principal dentist Dr Richard Kozlowski, who is endorsed for conscious sedation. He works alongside Dr Paola Miki Higa and the wider Leederville Dental team.
The clinic also offers practical features that can make appointments easier to manage, including on-site parking, wheelchair access, late appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Saturday opening hours.

Support for Nervous Patients
Dental anxiety is common, and it can be one reason people delay treatment.
At Leederville Dental, the team aims to make appointments feel calm and manageable. This includes listening to patient concerns, explaining treatment before it begins, offering breaks where needed, and checking in during the appointment.
For suitable patients, the practice also offers sedation options. Conscious sedation may help some patients feel relaxed and drowsy during treatment while remaining responsive. It may be discussed for patients with dental anxiety, dental phobia, or a strong gag reflex.
Suitability for sedation depends on the patient’s medical history, treatment needs, and clinical assessment. The team explains what to expect before treatment and carries out sedation in a monitored setting.
Dental Care for Children and Patients with Additional Needs
Leederville Dental also welcomes children and patients with special needs.
For children, the team aims to make early dental visits friendly and positive. A calm first experience can help children feel more comfortable with dental care as they grow.
For patients with special needs, the practice can allow extra time and adapt the appointment where possible. Sedation may also be discussed where it is clinically appropriate.
Services Available at Leederville Dental
Leederville Dental provides a broad range of dental services.

Cosmetic dentistry
Teeth whitening, clear aligners, and cosmetic dental consultations may be discussed after an individual assessment.
Surgical dentistry

IV sedation and conscious sedation may be available for suitable patients, including those with dental anxiety or a strong gag reflex.

What Makes Leederville Dental Stand Out
Leederville Dental’s approach is shaped by comfort, access, and practical support.
For nervous patients, the availability of sedation options and a principal dentist endorsed for conscious sedation gives the practice a clear focus in this area. For busy patients and families, late appointments, Saturday hours, and on-site parking can make visits easier to arrange.
The practice also places importance on communication. Patients are encouraged to ask questions, understand their options, and let the team know if they feel anxious before or during treatment.
For children, patients with special needs, and people who have delayed dental care because of nerves, this kind of support can make the appointment feel more manageable.
Patient-Centred Care
The team at Leederville Dental aims to make dental care feel clear and respectful.
From the first conversation through to the appointment itself, the focus is on explaining treatment, checking patient comfort, and avoiding unnecessary pressure. This helps patients make informed decisions about their oral health.
Whether someone is visiting for a routine check-up, emergency care, sedation dentistry, or a cosmetic consultation, treatment recommendations depend on their oral health, goals, and clinical needs.
