At each of our locations across Australia, we provide a comfortable patient lounge area with daily newspapers and up to date magazines for your enjoyment. We also supply a range of refreshment facilities for you while you relax and wait for your Life Time Smiles appointment to begin. During your appointment you have the option of listening to music or watching a DVD of your choice to make you feel at home. For those of you who are a little apprehensive about going to the dentist, we provide noise cancelling headphones, virtual reality glasses and happy gas to make your visit as comfortable and calming as possible.
As part of the Life Time Smiles Group experience, we have introduced spa treatments to our vast array of services. Why not put your feet up and let us do all the work while you indulge your senses and enjoy the experience.
We are participating members of some of the major health funds including BUPA, Medibank Private, HCF and Manchester Unity. For your convenience all our locations excluding Blackwater have HICAPS.
Meet the Director of the Life Time Smiles Group
At the Life Time Smiles group, we want you to enjoy your experience. Your dental treatment is important to us and we would like you to take a small amount of time to read about your doctor.
Individual treatment is vital when looking at your dental health. Each treatment plan that we put together is based on each person’s needs and requirements, dreams and aspirations and therefore, are each completely unique to you. In order for you to receive the highest quality of care, our patient’s cases are presented and analysed by multiple practitioners as part of our comprehensive treatment planning for each and every one of our valued patients.
Our dedicated team of professionals are all members of the
Australian Dental Association and many other associations. Here is some information about your dentist that will help you feel more at home when you visit.
Dr Christopher .P. Hart B.D.Sc Hons
Chris graduated from the University of Queensland in 1998 with a Bachelor of Dental Science with Honours, and a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. He has studied at Cambridge University where he graduated with a Master of Philosophy in Biomedical Science in 1999.
After finishing at Cambridge University he went on to work in the Channel Islands and then The Seychelles before returning to Brisbane. On returning to Brisbane, Chris established himself in private practice in Paddington before buying his first practice in Brisbane City in 2001. Since then, Life Time Smiles has expanded in Brisbane, Noosa, Central and Western Queensland and services over 45,000 patients in Queensland alone. In October 2010, Life Time Smiles expanded to Darwin, Northern Territory and now enjoys servicing our new local community in the top end. In January 2011, Life Time Smiles in Brisbane moved from its CBD location to our new home in Milton. Our Brisbane practice is now located in one of Brisbane’s beautiful Cultural Heritage listed terrace buildings, which was built in 1888. We welcome all our patients to our new site with a brief tour so that you will feel right at home.
While practicing predominantly at Life Time Smiles in Brisbane, Chris travels to all the Life Time Smiles practices. Clinically, Chris focuses on Neuromuscular, Aesthetic, Reconstructive and Implant Dentistry, and has a particular interest in occlusal (bite) rehabilitation, utilising the latest technology in implants and ceramic restorative techniques. More recently, Chris has taken a keen interest in the treatment of diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and looks forward to treating this condition using our comprehensive care approach.
A message from the Doctor
I am continually amazed and humbled by the opportunities and rewards the dental profession has provided me. I endeavour to give back to our valued patients, in the form of quality care, all the benefits that I have been afforded by our patients choosing to receive their dental care from our group of professionals.
Life Time Smiles is currently training a team of new, qualified dentists to service their regional locations across Australia. Chris will personally ensure that each recruit achieves the professional level of knowledge and skills required to be a Life Time Smiles' neuromuscular dentist.
