Dr Mary Tazawa-Lim is a dentist based in Castle Cove, NSW. Her practice is at 16e Deepwater Rd, Castle Cove NSW 2069, where she helps patients with day-to-day dental care and common treatments.
She works with people who want to keep their teeth in good shape, as well as those who need help after a problem shows up. That might be things like teeth feeling sensitive, pain from a tooth issue, or finding out you need work after a check-up.
At her clinic, Dr Tazawa-Lim offers dental cleaning, fillings, dental extractions, and dental X-rays. She also provides sealants, which can help protect teeth, especially in kids and teens, or for anyone with teeth that need extra support.
In many cases, the first step is getting a clear look at what’s going on. Dental X-rays can show spots you can’t see with the eye, so the next treatment is based on what the tooth actually needs. From there, she can talk through options for fillings, or if a tooth needs to be removed, how an extraction will be done and what to expect after.
Dr Tazawa-Lim also focuses on prevention. Regular cleanings help keep plaque under control, and sealants can add an extra layer of protection. It’s not about rushing. It’s more about steady care, good advice, and making sure you feel comfortable with the plan.
Experience-wise, she’s used to looking after routine dental needs as well as the more practical “fix it” appointments. Over time, that includes helping patients through common procedures like fillings, extractions, and X-rays, and answering the same simple questions that come up for lots of people.
Dr Tazawa-Lim speaks English and Japanese. If you’re more comfortable discussing things in Japanese, that can make visits feel a bit easier and less stressful.
When it comes to education, she has completed formal dental training and continues to work with current, everyday dental practices. No matter what brings you in, she aims for calm, straightforward care, with clear explanations and a steady hand.
