We are thrilled to share that Portside Dental has been named the winner of the “New / Start-Up Business” category at the 2025 Hobsons Bay Business Excellence Awards!
This incredible recognition from Hobsons Bay City Council is a proud milestone for our team - and a reflection of how far we’ve come since first opening our doors in Newport just two years ago.
Today, we are proud to have a vibrant, community-focused dental practice that employs 13 local team members and cares for patients across Hobsons Bay and beyond - a mission we will be sure to continue.
This journey has been fuelled by a simple but powerful vision: to reimagine dentistry. We wanted to create a dental practice that felt warm, honest and truly patient-centred - a place where people could receive high-quality care without fear or uncertainty.
Caring for the Hobsons Bay Community
Winning this award is especially meaningful because it recognises what we value most: community. Every appointment, every treatment, and every smile we help create is part of our ongoing partnership with the people of Hobsons Bay.
We’re deeply grateful to our wonderful patients, our hardworking team, and the local community for your support. You’ve helped us grow from a new start-up into a trusted part of the neighbourhood.

Looking Ahead
As we celebrate this achievement, we remain committed to continuing what we started: providing modern, gentle and personalised dental care to every patient who walks through our doors.
Thank you, Hobsons Bay City Council, for this incredible recognition. And thank you to our community for believing in us, supporting us, and smiling with us along the way.
Here’s to the next chapter - and to many more healthy, happy smiles in Hobsons Bay!
