Please be aware that safety measures including social distancing and the wearing of face coverings remain in place across all healthcare settings so that the most vulnerable people can continue to safely attend. We have put in place extra measures to keep our patients safe during any dental procedures and any treatment needs to be planned very carefully in line with additional procedures and precautions required.
Our hygienists will be undertaking hand scaling (with minimal polishing) only. There have been no changes to the infection control protocols since the easing of restrictions. If you have a dental problem, and are a registered patient, please call our reception team and we will organise a suitable appointment with your dentist, this may involve a triage video/phone call first.

Our practice has been on this site for many years but became recognisable as today's Katoomba Dental Practice in 1998 when Graham Loader and Chih Liu took over as joint partners with Naveed Jamil joining not long afterwards. Many of the team joined at this time and are still here more than 20 years later.
Please see below our usual opening hours. Please be aware that each dentist has a different working pattern and therefore hours may vary from week to week. Our core reception hours are Monday to Thursday 8am to 5pm and Friday 8am to 12.30pm. Although we are closed over the weekend and bank holidays our registered patients may still call our normal telephone number for dental emergencies.
These frequently asked questions are a list of questions and answers, all supposed to be commonly asked relating to our Practice and dental treatments. There are simple steps that each of us can take to greatly decrease the risk of developing tooth decay, gum disease and other dental problems. Brush first thing in the morning before eating and drinking and then again last thing at night.
We carry out patient surveys on a regular basis to ensure that we are providing the service that our patients want. We also have a suggestion box in the waiting room which we check regularly and aim to incorporate any suggestions made to us where possible. We welcome all feedback and ask our patients to review us on Google so that others looking for a dentist can judge what we offer.
This provides us with a wealth of knowledge about our patients to inform clinical decision making on an individual basis. We carry out routine testing on patients for early signs of oral cancer before they have any symptoms. Our Professional hygienists give treatment and advice to help ensure that you have a healthy gum and teeth.

We as a family are registered with Katoomba dental practice for more than 5 years. A very friendly and professional setup. Dr Navid Jamil is a very friendly knowledgeable and professional dentist in his approach. We are thoroughly satisfied with services received so far. Not to forget the emergency care my son got when he locked his jaw during the Covid lock down, once again Dr Naveed's expertise rescued him. Would highly recommend the Katoomba Dental practice.

I registered at Katoomba Dentist Practice in January 2021 and what a fantastic practice it really is! The reception staff are very friendly and personable and I always feel very comfortable when I visit. My first appointment was with Dr Chih Liu and I knew straight away I was in safe hands. I had a very professional consultation and we agreed that day, I would begin my composite journey. Since my consultation, ive had regular reviews and today I was fitted with composite bonds which i can say i'm extremely happy with the end result. A true professional within a fantastic team, I would highly recommend

Outstanding Service from beginning to end.
I joined Katoomba recently and was welcomed by Elsie over the phone and she very politely talked me through my options.
Upon arrival I was greeted by receptionists Linda and Sandy, who again were both very friendly and attentive.
Finally, Dr Liu and Nurse Jenna tied the whole experience together. My concerns were addressed and my questions were answered. The entire team honestly made it a pleasure to be there for the afternoon.
My only regret, I wish I joined Katoomba sooner.
Thanks again,

I have been seeing Chih for many years for all my dental needs. He is a brilliant dentist - kind, understanding and clinically excellent. His manner puts me at ease and I’m always happy with the work he does. The team at Katoomba are excellent and the practice has a lovely calm feel. I really enjoy going to the dentist and cannot recommend Chih and his team highly enough.

I saw Dr Liu for replacement of my crowns. He has the most modern facility. After the first visit, I got a comprehensive quote sent by email and my digital x-rays were also mailed on request. I’ve never had this before from any other dentist. The replaced crowns are to perfection. I’d recommend him highly
