Professional Care Focused on Your Oral Health
At ICS Dental Studio, we believe that informed patients make the best decisions for their health. Our clinicians, including Dr Thaer Skaf, Dr Nick Kazantzis, and Dr Roshni Thekkekara, bring significant clinical experience across all facets of dentistry.
A Clinically Focused Team
Our practitioners hold qualifications from leading Australian institutions, including the University of Sydney and the University of Queensland. Dr Skaf’s postgraduate focus on Oral Implantology allows us to manage complex restorative cases in-house, ensuring continuity of care for our Padstow patients.
Modern Diagnostic Technology
To ensure accurate diagnosis and clear communication, we utilise advanced dental technology, including:
- Digital Intraoral Cameras: So you can see what the dentist sees
- Low-Dose Digital X-rays: For precise diagnostics with minimal exposure
- Rotary Endodontics: For efficient and comfortable root canal therapy
Managing Dental Anxiety
We understand that for some, a visit to the dentist can be a source of unease. We offer sleep dentistry (IV sedation) and happy gas (relative analgesia) to help patients feel more relaxed during their procedures.
Our Dental Services for Padstow and Surrounding Suburbs
We provide a full range of dental treatments designed to maintain, restore and improve the health of your smile.
General and Preventive Dentistry
The foundation of a healthy mouth is regular maintenance. We provide comprehensive examinations, professional scaling and cleaning and fluoride treatments. Regular preventive visits are vital for your overall wellbeing. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), nearly 1 in 3 Australian adults have untreated tooth decay, which can be prevented through early intervention and regular check-ups.
Dental Implants and Restorative Treatment
Missing or damaged teeth can affect your ability to eat, speak and smile with confidence. Our restorative options include high-quality crowns, bridges and dental implants.

We offer modern orthodontic solutions, such as Invisalign®, and cosmetic treatments including porcelain veneers and professional teeth whitening. We focus on achieving functional, natural-looking results that complement your individual features.
