Your most confident smile
starts here

Dentistry that feels natural, not clinical

At L&R Dental, we believe exceptional care should feel effortless. 

That’s why we’ve refined every aspect of the experience—combining clinical precision with considered touches that feel both natural and thoughtful.

From advanced treatments to the smallest details, everything we do is designed to put you at ease and bring out your confidence, right here in Toowoomba.

Because when you feel good in your smile, it shows in every part of your day.

“When we created L&R, our mission was to combine precision, artistry, and comfort to create an experience that feels as good as it looks. We love transforming smiles and seeing the confidence it brings our patients.”

— Dr Leanne Welsh and Dr Rachael Milford
