Good people,
gentle hands.
A family run dental practice that has cared for Cooma and the Snowy Monaro from the same Dawson Street rooms since the 1950s. Different faces over the years, the same promise every time.
A Cooma practice, generation after generation.
Dawson Street Dental has been part of Cooma life for more than seventy years. Locals who came in as children now bring their own kids and grandkids through the same front door.
In 2023, Dr Tendai and Dr Annie took over ownership. They have kept what has always made this practice special, a warm and welcoming team that treats you like a neighbour, and added the calm, modern dentistry the region deserves.
We are local dentists who live here, raise our families here, and back the community that backs us. That is not a tagline. It is just how a country practice should be.
The way we look after you.
Honest communication
We explain every treatment before we start it. You know the cost, you understand the process, and you decide. No surprises.
Family friendly
From a toddler's first checkup to grandparents, we care for every age in a calm, unhurried way.
Local and invested
We live in the Snowy Monaro and proudly support the community that has supported this practice for decades.
Gentle, modern care
Up to date dentistry delivered with a light touch, especially if the dentist makes you nervous.
Here when it matters
Emergencies happen. We do our best to see you quickly when something is wrong.

The people behind the practice.
Dr Tendai Magadzire
With a patient-centred philosophy, he takes the time to get to know each person and provide individualised care.
While enjoying all aspects of general dentistry, Dr Tendai has a special interest in implant and restorative dentistry and is currently completing a postgraduate diploma in this field. He enjoys helping patients move from short-term fixes to long-term, comprehensive solutions with an emphasis on periodic maintenance.
Outside the practice, you’ll find Dr Tendai spending time with his daughter and son, watching rugby union and keeping active at The Base gym. Born in Zimbabwe, he grew up in Orange, regional New South Wales.
Dr Annie Heu-Moser
She is passionate about delivering high-quality, patient-centred care and values building long-term relationships with local families.
Dr Annie enjoys all aspects of general dentistry, including preventative care, restorative dentistry and paediatric dentistry. She takes a holistic approach, focusing on individualised treatment plans and optimal long-term outcomes with an emphasis on both aesthetics and function.
Known for her warm and gentle approach, Dr Annie believes excellent dentistry combines quality treatment with education and prevention to support lasting oral health.
Outside of dentistry, Dr Annie loves being a mum and spending time with her family. She enjoys gardening, skiing and downhill mountain biking — making the most of the Snowy Mountains lifestyle.
Dr Natalie Chen
Known for her calm and reassuring manner, she takes the time to listen, explain treatment options and ensure each person feels comfortable throughout their appointment — patients have even been known to fall asleep in the chair!
She enjoys all aspects of general dentistry and welcomes patients of all ages. Dr Natalie completed her dental degree at the University of Sydney, where she was awarded the Professor Noel Martin Memorial Prize in Dentistry.
Outside the practice, you’ll find Dr Natalie snowboarding, playing the piano, curled up with a good book or spending time with her family and two fluffy dogs.
