Our Commitment to You – Compassionate, Ethical Dental Care at Greenbank Family Dental
We’re more than a clinic — we’re your care partner. Learn how we uphold trust, transparency, and excellence with every smile we serve.
Our Commitment: People, Planet & Community
At Greenbank Family Dental (GFD), we believe in making a positive impact beyond the dental chair. Our commitment to community engagement, ethical care, and responsible choices is a journey—one that we are excited to share with our patients and local community. While we may not have a formal environmental or outreach strategy, we are taking meaningful steps to contribute in ways that matter.
This page outlines where we are right now and where we’re heading in our efforts to support both people and the planet.
Greenbank Family Dental's 3 Areas
Sustainability, Community, Innovation.
Healthier Smiles, Healthier Forests
Award-Winning and Carbon-Positive
SUSTAINABLE CHOICES
We believe every action counts when it comes to caring for our community and our planet.
Healthy Smiles, Healthy Forests is our award-winning initiative that turns everyday dental care into lasting environmental impact — giving back to nature while delivering exceptional dentistry.
How It Works
✅ For every new patient referral, we plant a tree in partnership with verified Australian reforestation programs.
✅ We make conscious choices in our practice to reduce waste, improve efficiency, and source responsibly.
✅ We measure our total operational footprint — from energy and materials to staff and patient travel — and offset 100% through certified carbon removals.
Why It Matters
Trees play a vital role in absorbing CO₂, restoring ecosystems, and improving air quality.
Through this initiative, every patient visit now contributes directly to restoring native habitats, one smile at a time.
In 2025, Greenbank Family Dental achieved verified carbon-positive operations — offsetting our full annual footprint months ahead of schedule and setting a new benchmark for sustainable healthcare in Australia.
Transparency Matters
We know that sustainability is a journey, not a label.
While we’re not an eco-certified practice, our progress is measured, verified, and publicly tracked through our partnership with Reforest Australia.
Our commitment is simple: act transparently, lead responsibly, and continue finding better ways to care for people and the planet.

Combat climate change by reducing carbon emissions.
Our Partnership with Reforest
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are reshaping how businesses operate — but for us, sustainability isn’t just about global targets; it’s about meaningful action here in Greenbank.
As a family-owned clinic, we understand that real impact starts locally. While global corporations work toward large-scale change, we focus on what matters most — taking measurable, verifiable steps that reflect our values and strengthen our community.
Our partnership with Reforest, a Brisbane-based social enterprise, enables us to turn those commitments into action. Through Reforest’s verified Australian reforestation projects, we’re rebuilding ecosystems, supporting biodiversity, and offsetting our environmental footprint — achieving verified carbon-positive operations in 2025, months ahead of schedule.
This milestone means every patient, every team member, and every delivery now contributes to a healthier planet — one tree, one visit, one smile at a time. 🌳

Engagement
Captain Clean Tooth and Miss Floss Boss:
Our First Step in Community Engagement
At Greenbank Family Dental, our commitment to community isn’t an afterthought—it’s part of who we are.
Through our Captain Clean Tooth & Miss Floss Boss program, we help children build lifelong oral health habits with fun, hands-on learning. But we also recognise the power of supporting the wider family and care community.
What We Now Offer:
✔ Interactive Child Workshops – Featuring our oral health superheroes, children engage in exciting, hands-on sessions that make brushing fun and memorable.
✔ Toothbrushing Demos – Practical sessions give kids confidence in looking after their smiles.
✔ Parent & Carer Education – Optional workshops empower parents with everyday tips to encourage great oral hygiene at home.
What We’re Expanding:
✔ On-Site Dental Check-Ups – In partnership with select early learning centres, we provide professional dental screenings using portable equipment.
✔ Educator Support – We offer simple resources and open Q&A sessions so staff feel confident reinforcing healthy habits in the classroom.
Why This Matters
By making oral health accessible, familiar, and fun, we support whole families—not just little smiles. Together, we’re creating healthier habits that last a lifetime.

INNOVATION
Innovating, advancing dentistry with purpose.
At Greenbank Family Dental, innovation isn’t about keeping up—it’s about moving forward with intention. We embrace technology, research, and personalised care to deliver long-term wellness for every patient, no matter their stage of life.
Whether it’s precision digital dentistry or cutting-edge sleep and gum health solutions, our commitment is simple: better outcomes, more comfort, and easier access.
What Innovation Means at GFD.
✔ Technology That Cares – From computer-guided implants to gentle, modern materials, we’re focused on precision, comfort, and results.
✔ Solutions That Fit Your Life – We offer alternatives like MAS therapy for sleep apnoea and are preparing to launch advanced gum health treatments.
✔ Patient-Centred Progress – Our new Pub Lane flagship clinic (launching 2026) is being built to support digital dentistry, streamlined care, and AI-assisted engagement.
We’re committed to leading—not following—when it comes to dentistry that puts your wellbeing first. Because the future of dental care should feel personal, empowering, and easy to access.
Looking Ahead: Small Steps, Big Change.
We know that real impact doesn’t happen overnight—but it starts with a decision to do better.
At Greenbank Family Dental, we’re committed to growing our contribution to community wellbeing and environmental responsibility, one meaningful step at a time.
