Your local dentist in Dorrigo
Our Dorrigo clinic at 8 Hickory Street brings the same dentists, equipment standards and transparent fees as our Coffs Harbour practice to the plateau, three days a week. Dr James Taylor, a Dorrigo local who still breeds cattle on the family farm, works across both clinics.
Every treatment we offer in Coffs Harbour is available in Dorrigo, with two exceptions: braces and clear aligners such as Invisalign are fitted at our Coffs Harbour practice. We can still assess and plan orthodontic treatment here, and removable appliances for children are available in Dorrigo.
