Dr Ashley Dent
Founder & Principal Dentist
Dr Ashley Dent is a dentist with a passion for excellence, motivated by seeing you smile.
The Adentica story
After working in Caloundra for five years, Ashley established Adentica in December 2010 as a single-dentist practice. It has grown through word of mouth into a well-known and respected practice in the Caloundra community, extended to four surgeries in 2025 while keeping its personal feel.
A lifelong passion
Ashley always wanted to be a dentist. When you arrive at Adentica you can see his early passion in the picture book he wrote and illustrated at age 11, “Johnny Junkfood’s Ugly Teeth.”
Chairside approach
Ashley has a gentle and caring chairside manner, and takes care in presenting and explaining treatment alternatives in detail across all areas of modern dentistry.
Beyond dentistry
Outside the practice, Ashley’s passions are his family, gardening, and travel. As a father to Ryan and Adalyn, he understands the dental care concerns of parents firsthand. Please note: Ashley’s books are currently closed for new patients.
