Fresh Thinking. Genuine Care. Right Here in Toowong

Fresh Thinking. Genuine Care. Right Here in Toowong

At Enamel & Mint, we believe great dental care starts with people. We know that visiting the dentist can be uncomfortable for some. That’s why we’ve created a calm, welcoming practice where genuine care, straightforward, honest advice and unhurried appointments come first.

We never rush. With longer appointment times, where needed, you can relax, ask questions and understand your options before any treatment begins. It’s about helping you feel comfortable, giving you the information you need and building a lasting relationship that’s focused on your long-term oral health.We never rush.

A Little Different.
In All the Right Ways.

No Humdrum Dental Vibes

A fresh, modern space with thoughtful touches designed to make dental visits feel a whole lot less clinical.

Little Smiles Welcome

Kids aren’t an afterthought here. We’re parents too, and we love making little patients feel welcome from their very first visit.

Dental Visits, Minus the Hurdles

Late Wednesdays. Saturday appointments. Plenty of onsite parking. Because fitting in the dentist shouldn’t require rearranging your entire calendar.

Local Through & Through

No corporate chain here. Enamel & Mint is independently owned and run, created by locals for the community we call home.

No Lectures. Just Straight Answers.

Six months or six years since your last check-up? No worries. We’ll start with where things are today and give you straightforward advice about what comes next.

Treatment Isn’t a Given

If you don’t need it, we won’t recommend it. Simple. We’re here to look after your teeth, not find treatment for the sake of it. Your natural teeth come first.

If It’s Not Our Job, We’ll Say So

If your care is better handled by another dental or health professional, we’ll tell you and point you to the right next step.

Built by Locals. Driven by Care.

Dr Lillian Waterland

Principal Dentist & Owner
Bachelor of Dental Science (Hons) and Bachelor of Pharmacy, University of Queensland
General Registration: DEN0002668495

Dr Lillian Waterland graduated with First Class Honours from the University of Queensland before gaining experience across both private and public dentistry. Today, she’s proud to provide quality dental care to patients from Toowong, Bardon, Auchenflower, Indooroopilly and surrounding suburbs, taking the time to build lasting relationships based on trust, honesty and genuine care.

An Indooroopilly local, Dr Lillian founded Enamel & Mint alongside her husband, Mike, with a simple vision: to create the kind of independent dental practice they would want to visit themselves. A place where people feel welcome, appointments are never rushed, questions are always encouraged and prevention is at the heart of every decision.

For Dr Lillian, dentistry is about far more than treating teeth. It’s about helping people understand their oral health, building good lifelong habits and creating positive dental experiences that make coming back feel easy. Whether she’s caring for a two-year-old at their very first visit or helping someone restore their smile after years of dental problems, Dr Lillian brings the same calm, caring and thorough approach to every appointment. In her words, “I’d much rather help you avoid a filling than give you one.”

Professional Qualifications

Life Beyond the Practice…

When she’s not at the practice, you’ll usually find Dr Lillian spending time with her family. She loves exploring Brisbane with her husband and children, enjoying good food, gardening, getting outdoors and making the most of weekends.

Family plays a big part in Dr Lillian’s life, and it’s one of the reasons she’s so passionate about creating a practice where patients of every age feel welcome, comfortable and cared for.
