We believe that dental care is vital for good oral and overall health. We understand that visiting a dentist can feel intimidating, but as a team of experienced and caring dental professionals, our goal is to make the experience as pleasant and stress-free for you as possible.
Understanding the relationship between oral health, overall health, and both is important. Studies have shown that dental problems such as gum disease can increase the risk of other health issues such as heart disease and diabetes. By maintaining good oral health through regular dental visits, you can reduce your risk of these and other health problems. Make regular dental appointments a priority to play an active part in your oral care. Our experienced and caring dental professionals are dedicated to providing you with personalised care tailored to your needs and goals.
We are committed to delivering gentle and respectful dental care for children of all ages at Boroondara Family Dentist. We strive to teach children good oral habits to help them maintain a healthy mouth for a lifetime. Eligible children can receive $1000 of dental care over a 2-year period through the Child Dental Benefits Scheme provided by Medicare.
Dental care is crucial for children’s overall well-being. Instances of decay among children are on the rise in Australia. In 2010, decay was found in the baby teeth of 55% of 6-year-olds and in the permanent teeth of 48% of 12-year-olds.
We advise children to start attending dental appointments when they’re three or four years old. Consistent dental visits promote healthy teeth. Postponing a visit until the child is in pain can make their first experience traumatic and possibly result in long-lasting fear issues.
Boroondara Family Dentist is a trusted cosmetic dentist that provides top-quality dental care to patients in Alphington and its environs.
Are you troubled by the appearance of your smile? Does that prominently misaligned tooth bother you? Have you noticed that your teeth have a slightly discoloured shade? Is it impacting your level of confidence?
Your smile is one of the most recognisable attributes of your face and is frequently the initial point of notice for others. It conveys your mood, sociability, and overall state of well-being. According to the Australian Society of Orthodontics (ASO), over half of Australians feel self-conscious about their smiles.
The good news is that cosmetic dentistry can make a significant difference in the aesthetics of your smile.

For regular cleanings and checks, it is recommended that you visit your dentist every six months. However, if you have a history of dental problems or are at a higher risk for dental issues, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.
During a dental check-up, your dentist will examine your teeth and gums for any signs of dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer. A dentist might also take X rays to look for hidden issues.
It is important to floss and brush twice daily for two minutes. Fluoride toothpaste, mouthwash, and mouthwash all help to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Tooth decay, gum diseases, and oral carcinoma are all common dental problems. For prevention, you should practice good oral health, eat healthy, and see your dentist for regular check-ups.
Professional teeth cleaning can help remove plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to gum disease if left untreated. It can also remove surface stains from your teeth, giving you a brighter, whiter smile.
We offer nitrous oxide, commonly called happy gas, to help diminish your anxiety levels. It’s a colourless, odourless gas that acts as a gentle sedative and can be administered to both children and adults.
Cosmetic dental procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding can help improve the appearance of your teeth. Your dentist can help recommend the best option for you based on your specific needs and goals.
A dental emergency is a situation that requires immediate attention from a dentist, such as a knocked-out tooth or severe tooth pain. If you experience a dental emergency, it’s important to contact your dentist as soon as possible for prompt treatment.
