New clinic delivering smiles all round

Rebecca Cerfontyne loves her job.
She says making a positive difference to her patients’ lives is a “real privilege”.
Dr Cerfontyne – a dentist for the past 14 years – is one of the partners behind Aesthetic Dental Moss Vale.
The clinic opened three months ago as a sister clinic to Aesthetic Dental & Denture Clinic in Camden.
It represents an exciting expansion into the Southern Highlands market for Dr Cerfontyne and business partner Elias Sara, a dental prosthetist and technician with 28 years’ experience.
They will be sharing their time between the Moss Vale and Camden clinics and will be joined at least once a month by a specialist maxillofacial surgeon from Sydney.
Dr Cerfontyne described her work as a “fusion of art and health care”.
She gets to visualise what someone’s smile will look like and then turn it into a reality.
Literally putting a smile on other people’s faces puts a smile on her own.
She says the connection she gets to make with patients is both motivating and rewarding.
Drs Cerfontyne and Sara are excited about welcoming patients through the doors of their new clinic at 378 Argle Street in Moss Vale.
The building has been totally refurbished to make it as comfortable and relaxing as possible, and they have brought together a team of experienced dentists and dental nurses to offer a full range of services from basic check-ups to custom mouthguards, dentures, cosmetic dentistry and advanced surgical treatments.
The two other dentists at the Moss Vale clinic are Drs Nicole Jancek and Jelena Vlaisavljevic.
Dr Cerfontyne fears the cost-of-living crisis has taken its toll on dental health as much as anything, with families forced to cut back on household expenditure in general, including healthcare.
But she says people should never live with pain – or let their emotional health suffer – because they don’t think they can afford to see a dentist or to have a dental problem rectified.
She says there are options available and encourages prospective patients to drop by for a chat and to map out a path forward.
The team will also be happy to talk about the strategies available for people who have been putting off a trip to the dentist because of anxiety.
Dr Certofyne says as a “rule of thumb” people should see a dentist every six to 12 months for a check-up and to help address any problems at an early stage.
People with dentures are advised to get them changed every five to seven years.
New patients at Aesthetic Dental Moss Vale will be sent a reminder when they are due for a check-up.
The Moss Vale clinic has the advantage of using its own in-house dental laboratory in Camden for the manufacture of dentures, crowns, bridges and veneers using advanced 3D printers and milling machines.
It means staff have complete control over the end product, and the process is both quicker and cheaper.
Sportspeople across the Southern Highlands are being urged to start preparing early for the 2027 season by talking to the team at Aesthetic Dental Moss Vale about a custom mouthguard.
Dr Certonfyne says the majority of dental-related trauma cases are the result of sporting incidents or falls and a custom mouthguard is the most comfortable and effective way for sportspeople of all ages to protect themselves against serious injury.
She says a custom mouthguard through Aesthetic Dental Vale is also much cheaper than most people expect.
