Our History
Safety Bay Dental has humble beginnings. Before it became a familiar Rockingham practice it began in the 1980s as a small, branch surgery in Malibu Road, Safety Bay and owned by a consortium of local dentists. Adrian Longworth purchased this practice in 1986. At the start, Adrian worked in the practice with his wife Maureen as a dental nurse/receptionist. Initially Safety Bay Dental Care Centre was only open for only two afternoons a week. The rest of the week Adrian operated a country dental practice in the South West town of Wagin.
The practice was named “Safety Bay Dental Care Centre” deliberately, with the emphasis on “care”. The practice grew quickly and in 1987 Adrian employed various assistant dentists to help him with the growing demand for dental services. Adrian eventually resigned his interests in the Wagin practice and instead focus on practicing in Rockingham.
In the early 1990s the practice was relocated to the then, newly built, premises at Grange Medical Centre. Initially this centre seemed like an ideal solution to our requirement for larger premises. However, there were problems with the area and the tenancy lease. After a while we were on the look out for a more suitable location and building. Eventually we found two suitable options on Parkin Street in the Rockingham Beach precinct.
In May 2017, the practice moved in to our new premises at 90 Parkin Street, Rockingham. We decided it’s best to decommission the Cooloongup premises and commit fully to the Parkin Street premises. Therefore, we have absolutely no connection to Grange Medical Centre now.
Safety Bay Dental Care Centre, named and envisioned by Adrian in 1987, has become a familiar presence in the city of Rockingham. Adrian and numerous assistant dentists and support staff all continue to strive to provide optimal dental services for our patient community. We continue to care for some of the first patients who came through the doors at the first location for the clinic. Yes, the clinic in Malibu Road, Safety Bay (1986).
