About us

Who we are, our service philosophy and our qualifications

Family Owned and Independent since 1998

Welcome to Smile Sydney and Dr Alexander McEwen’s dental practice where we are dedicated to keeping Sydney smiling.

Dr. McEwen has a unique dental pedigree as his father and grandfather were both graduates from the University of Sydney and both practiced dentistry in Bathurst NSW. Dr. McEwen became the principal dentist of Smile Sydney in 1998, when he took over a retiring dentist’s practice in Kirribilli. Since that time the practice has evolved and relocated to North Sydney in early 2012 in a new world class dental facility.

Dr. McEwen is proud to be independent of corporate and health fund management. Practice philosophy is geared towards a wholistic approach in consultation with you the patient to give the best treatment outcome. Dr. McEwen special interests include Oral Pathology, Periodontology, CEREC and finally Dental Implants which he has been involved in over 1000 implant cases.
