Services
Examinations
Our comprehensive oral examinations assess your complete dental health, identifying potential issues like decay or gum disease. We create customised treatment plans prioritising urgent needs while educating patients on home care techniques. This preventive approach helps maintain optimal oral health and avoid costly future treatments.
Fillings
We use tooth-coloured composite materials for minimally invasive fillings that restore damaged teeth. Our bonding technique ensures natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with your smile. This conservative treatment preserves maximum natural tooth structure while preventing further decay progression.
Root Canal Treatment
Our specialists treat infected tooth pulp with precision root canal therapy. We thoroughly clean and seal affected roots to eliminate pain and save natural teeth. This procedure prevents extraction while maintaining your bite's functional integrity through subsequent crown placement.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
We manage impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or alignment issues. Our surgical removal technique minimises discomfort and promotes rapid healing. This preventive treatment avoids complications like infections, crowding, or damage to adjacent teeth from improperly erupted molars.
Dental Implants
Titanium implants replace missing teeth roots for permanent, stable restoration. We attach custom crowns to these fixtures for natural-looking results that maintain jawbone density. This solution offers superior functionality and aesthetics compared to traditional bridges or dentures.

Living in Lilydale? Why would you go anywhere else to have your teeth done. From the perfect reception to Alex and his assistants making it easy for you to relax. Then to have everything explained to you about your teeth with honesty and your options. All work completed has been perfect. Won't let anyone else touch my teeth. Fantastic.

As a patient of Dr Sarah's I find her to be so caring and considerate of the patient and the treatment needed. She always informs you of what is about to happen, and makes sure that you are comfortable and that she can go ahead with the treatment. I have every confidence in her abilities. Thanks Dr Sarah.

My wife and I have been attending Main Street Dental Clinic for over 20 years, however, today was the first time we have seen Dr. Alex Shen. We both found him to be very calming and informative. The use of the camera to show the state of the teeth was greatly appreciated. Alex was ably assisted by Ally and, of course, Anna was her usual bright and bubbly self at reception.

I had one of my teeth filling done at Main Street Dental Clinic and I was very impressed with their service starting with the reception where Anna was very helpful, polite, friendly and knowlegeable. Then Dr Sarah and her assistant Sarah were very professional, gentle, caring. They did a wonderful job, no pain, explaining step by step the whole process making you feel comfortable and relexed. Highly recommended to anyone.

My 83-year-old father was treated by Dr Alex recently - cannot recommend this practice more highly - 10/10 in my book! The receptionist is so friendly and welcoming, and the advice, level of care, welcoming humour, and professionalism were all of the highest standard - my dad was stoked with his care and the result - his gums/teeth needed attention (periodontal disease and subsequent loss of some jaw bone) - the teeth scaling and root planing has really done wonders for his teeth and his bad breath! The pricing is very competitive, and there was no over-servicing or pushy sales! Take a bow - great

Friendly staff have always gone out of their way to make me feel comfortable and have fitted me in when emergency tooth issues have occurred. Both my children have attended this clinic and were put at ease from a young age and as a result they never worried about coming to the dentist. I was always walked through every procedure and told prices upfront. Sarah is the best! So kind and gentle. Throughly recommend Main Street dental
