One practice, in one place.
Saltwater Dental is one practice, in one place, run by the people who own it.
Priya opened the doors on Cronulla Street in 2015 with a simple idea: a local practice where you see the same faces each visit and nobody feels rushed. Eleven years on, that hasn’t changed.
We’re deliberately small. That means we can take the time to explain things properly, remember your name and your history, and treat the whole family from the first baby-tooth check-up to the trickier work later in life.
We’re a few streets back from the beach, above the Cronulla Street mall — easy to get to on the train, and the sort of place you can drop into on your way past.

The people you’ll see
Three practitioners, and the same familiar faces at the front desk.
We’re deliberately small, so we can take the time to know you and your family. Everyone here is registered with AHPRA — their registration numbers are listed with their names below.


Dr Priya Nair
Principal Dentist
AHPRA Reg. DEN0000000P
Priya opened Saltwater Dental in 2015 after a decade in busy Sydney practices. She has a soft spot for nervous patients and believes most anxiety comes from not knowing what’s about to happen — so she explains everything as she goes.
English, Hindi

Dr Daniel Osei
Dentist
AHPRA Reg. DEN0000000D
Daniel enjoys the planning side of dentistry — crowns, veneers and getting a restoration to sit just right. He’s known for taking the time to talk through every option before anything is decided.
English, Cantonese

Mel Carter
Oral Health Therapist
AHPRA Reg. DEN0000000M
Mel looks after check-ups, cleans and much of the children’s care at Saltwater. Kids warm to her quickly, and she’s brilliant at turning a first visit into a good memory rather than a scary one.

Come and say hello.
