About Our Clinic //
In 1961 the Stewart Dental Laboratory was established on Scarborough St, Southport. With Michael joining in 1983 and purchasing the practice in 1989 where he stayed until 2005, it was also in this year that Ray joined Michael at the practice.
The practice then moved to 34 Nind St where the clinic resides now. Michael and Ray continued working together, renaming the practice as the Nind St Denture Clinic, effectively making the practice one of the longest established on the Gold Coast.
