We have called our business 'The Happy Tooth' We did this to reflect our belief that a healthy tooth, through best dental practice, is always a happy tooth.
Our modern and comfortable dental premises are located in Muswellbrook. We provide dental services to all areas of the Upper Hunter Valley including Muswellbrook, Denman, Merriwa, Aberdeen and Scone.
The Happy Tooth was started in Cessnock by Dr Alexys Ward in 2010. Since then it has grown to 5 Practices. The family business has grown through providing high quality dental care, with great service in regional areas with modern equipment often not even seen in metropolitan Practices.
The Happy Tooth Muswellbrook has grown in our community with the Amalgamation of Dr Paul O’neill & Dr Graham Suttons practices and employment of local support staff. Dr Paul O’neill & Dr Graham Sutton has been providing the Muswellbrook and surrounding community’s with Dental services over the past 35 years.
We offer a full range of treatment options. In addition to general Dentistry we have available tooth whitening, cosmetic dentistry and dental implants, together with general preventative care programs.
Your teeth are important to you, and important to us.
Your teeth:
are involved in your nutrition and general health through what you can eat;
impact on your general appearance, particularly when smiling, laughing and talking;
can affect your speech.
The Happy Tooth Muswellbrook Dental Practice recognises the value to you of your teeth.
Patients with Private Health Insurance will enjoy the value and convenience of instant claiming. Patients eligible for funding under the Veteran’s Health Program, and the Child Dental Benefit Scheme are most welcome and will be bulk billed.

We love what I do
We love being Dentist’s. We enjoy being able to help fix patient’s dental problems. Being a Dentist to us is not a chore or a drudge, it is a positive opportunity for us to help out our community.
We only offer treatment we can do well
There are lots of dental procedures we excel at. However, if someone else does it better than us, we have a network of excellent specialists who we can refer you to. This team approach is sometimes the best option.
Pleasant environment with minimal waiting
We do not overbook, we always try to be on time. If we are running late, we will endeavor to call you and let you know. Nothing is worse than wasting an hour of your time waiting for us. However, we have comfortable client lounges.
Patient orientated approach
At The Happy Tooth Muswellbrook you will have your Dentist, focusing 100% on you. The Happy Tooth Muswellbrook does not have any corporate dental approach – that is a production line with patients seeing different Dentists on different visits with no continuity of service. You will have your allocated time with your nominated Dentist.
