Our Journey
From Caloundra to Beyond
Avenue Dental began its journey in 1990 in the beautiful coastal town of Caloundra. From these humble beginnings, we have grown steadily, expanding across the Sunshine Coast, into Brisbane, and now interstate into Adelaide. Our growth is a testament to our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional dental care and positively transforming the lives of our patients and communities.
Our Leadership
Local Dentists, Community Focused
At Avenue Dental, we believe that local leadership is key to understanding and meeting the needs of our community. Our managing partners are local dentists who are deeply invested in the areas they serve, ensuring that our practices remain patient-centered and community-focused. Our CEO duo, Steve Dudgeon and Eli Burger, embody this commitment. Both Steve and Eli live on the Sunshine Coast and work directly out of our Caloundra practice, staying closely connected to our roots while guiding our expansion.
