We offer preventive dentistry for patients of all ages in a caring and welcoming atmosphere.

Are You Looking for a Melville Family Dentist?

Preventive and General Dentistry

As a privately owned dental practice, our Melville family dentists, Dr Lidia and Dr Anni spend adequate time with each patient to provide individualised care for patients of every age and life stage.

Your oral health needs can vary with ageing or because of medical conditions such as diabetes, pregnancy, heart disease and more. We always approach dentistry with your current needs in mind to give you a healthy smile and a healthy body.

Personalised Preventive Dentistry

While it might seem tempting to put off regular dental exams and cleans, these routine dental visits are the most affordable way to prevent dental emergencies and tooth loss. Digital dental x-rays assist our dentists in the early diagnosis of oral conditions that can progress quickly into more costly and complex problems.

Other preventive treatments include:

Fluoride application – promotes remineralisation of tooth enamel for patients at risk for caries (decay)
Fissure sealants – provide a non-invasive treatment to create a barrier preventing bacteria in the deep grooves of teeth
Athletic mouthguards – prevent tooth and bone damage caused by sports accidents
Nightguards – stop the damage and sensitivity common for patients with bruxism (teeth grinding) behaviours

Children’s Dentistry

Finding a dental clinic to both serve adults and provide paediatric dentistry poses a challenge. We warmly welcome children to Melville Family Dental and work closely with parents to keep little smiles healthy and comfortable.

Custom Tooth Restorations

Repairing natural teeth can prevent tooth pain and extraction.

Fillings – repair teeth after tooth decay
Bonding – fills small chips and reshapes teeth
Crowns – protects and reinforces deeply decayed or broken teeth
Onlays and inlays – partial crowns for a conservative approach
Veneers – cover the front of natural teeth to improve aesthetics

When restoring smiles for full smile reconstruction, our dentists use a variety of treatment procedures for broken teeth, to repair short or worn teeth, and improve the bite.

Replace Missing Teeth

Tooth loss causes oral health challenges such as bone loss and a poor bite. Our Melville dental practice offers modern tooth-replacement solutions.

Our dentists will discuss all of the options we offer and help you organise a plan to complete your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you treat children?

We warmly welcome children of all ages in our Melville dental clinic and take a special interest in looking after their smiles. Building excellent oral health habits and motivation to keep teeth healthy while children are small will help them enjoy fewer dental problems and avoid tooth loss as adults.

We provide comprehensive paediatric dentistry in a caring and compassionate environment.

Your Child’s First Visit

At your child’s first visit, we help them get to know our team and become familiar with the dental clinic environment. Many of our staff have children and understand how to speak in gentle terms that kids understand.

We take the fear out of dentistry by encouraging their questions and making their visit an interactive experience. Since every patient is unique, including kids, we always go at their pace and will never pressure them to have treatment beyond their comfort or attention spans.

Oral Development and Growth

As children grow, regular exams and cleans will make it possible for our dentists to identify any instances of decay, misalignment or jaw development early when they are easier to treat.

As your little one grows into their teens, we are here to evaluate wisdom teeth and help them feel confident in their smiles as they begin to make their way in the world.
