WHO WE ARE


Your Dental Care was established in 2008 to provide the best oral health care to Whyalla and the surrounding communities, by local resident dentist Dr Mitchell Hoffmann. From there it has grown to a 3 surgery practice.

We encourage patients to take joint responsibility for their dental health, working together to collaborate a long term plan to maintain good oral health for a lifetime. Our philosophy is to encourage the maintenance of good health through preventive dentistry and active dental health promotion. This requires a personal approach for each individual situation, aiming to eliminate the two most common dental diseases, decay and gum disease. 

We follow strict protocols to ensure that all dental instruments including handpieces are sterilised and aim to have minimal impact on the environment whilst meeting the infection control standards. We have facilities to recycle oral health care products, including tooth brushes, which can be dropped off to the practice at anytime. We have also just had  solar panels installed to help reduce our carbon foot print. We believe in active healthy lifestyles which improve not only your physical but mental health and regularly sponsor active events in the Whyalla Community.

​We look forward to continuing to work with the Whyalla community to maintain not only your dental health but your overall health and well being.

THE TEAM


Dr Mitchell hoffmann

After graduating from the University of Adelaide (2002) with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery, Dr Mitchell Hoffmann worked in Adelaide prior to moving her family back to her home town and has spent the last 20 years practicing dentistry in Whyalla. She has been on the South Australian Dental Association board and stepped down from this in 2017. Mitchell has a particular interest in preventive dentistry and uses minimally invasive techniques to be as conservative as possible. She has a passion for health promotion and believes that we all need to take responsibility for our own health through diet and lifestyle choices.  In her spare time she likes to hang out with her family of 5 and be out doors as much as she can.
