OUR PHILOSOPHY & STORY | KANGAROO POINT, BRISBANE
IT STARTED WITH ONE QUESTION.
What would cosmetic dentistry look like if it was built around preserving your natural teeth?
OUR STORY | THE ADORE APPROACH
THE QUESTION THAT BUILT THE PRACTICE.
Adore began with something Dr Ellie Kim kept coming back to. Traditional cosmetic dentistry often starts by reducing the tooth, so that something new has room to sit over it. Enamel is shaped down, and it does not grow back.
So she asked a different question. What if it didn’t have to cost the teeth you already have?
The answer became Adore. Minimal and non-prep dentistry is the work we do most of, and every plan starts from the most conservative option that would do the job. Preparation is sometimes the right call, and when it is, we’ll tell you why. Advice is honest, pricing is clear, and nothing is rushed. Before any treatment, it’s worth reading the risks and considerations.
GOOD DENTISTRY KEEPS MORE THAN IT TAKES.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
HOW WE WORK.
Anyone can write a philosophy. Ours shows up in the same four places, at every appointment.
01 | CONSERVATIVE BY DESIGN →
We start with the option that keeps the most of your natural tooth, and go further only when there’s a clear reason to. Sometimes that reason is real, and preparation, surgery or a crown is genuinely the right call. When it is, you’ll hear why before anything begins, rather than afterwards.
02 | HONEST, ALWAYS →
If a treatment isn’t right for you, we’ll say so, even when it would be easier not to. You’ll hear what would actually help, what can wait, and whether we’re the right fit for you at all.
03 | CLEAR ABOUT PRICES →
Starting prices in our price guide, and an itemised quote in writing before anything begins. If something changes once we’re underway, you hear about it and agree to it before we carry on.
04 | NOTHING RUSHED →
Every plan starts with a conversation, and every decision comes with time to make it. Nothing needs deciding on the day. Your smile, your pace.
PRINCIPAL DENTIST & OWNER
THE PERSON BEHIND THE QUESTION.
For Dr Ellie Kim, dentistry has always been about more than teeth. It’s about how it feels to sit in the chair: being listened to first, seeing every option laid out honestly, and never being talked into anything.
