Teeth Whitening
Our professional teeth whitening treatments effectively remove stains and discoloration using advanced bleaching systems. This non-invasive procedure enhances your smile's brightness by several shades while maintaining enamel integrity. We offer customized take-home kits with professional-strength gel and in-clinic treatments for faster results. Our protocols combine modern materials with precise application techniques to ensure even whitening and minimize sensitivity. Ideal for patients seeking immediate aesthetic improvement before special occasions or as part of comprehensive smile makeovers.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted porcelain veneers provide permanent solutions for chipped, gapped, or discolored teeth. Our ultra-thin ceramic shells bond directly to tooth surfaces, preserving natural structure while transforming smiles. Digital smile design technology allows patients to preview results before fabrication. Each veneer is individually crafted by master ceramists to match facial aesthetics and bite requirements. This durable solution offers stain resistance and natural light reflection properties identical to enamel, creating seamless, long-lasting cosmetic enhancements.
Dental Implants
Implant dentistry offers permanent tooth replacement solutions that mimic natural tooth function and appearance. Our titanium posts integrate with jawbone tissue through osseointegration, providing stable foundations for crowns, bridges, or dentures. We utilize 3D imaging technology for precise placement and offer guided surgery options. Implant-supported restorations prevent bone loss, maintain facial structure, and restore chewing efficiency. This comprehensive solution addresses single or multiple missing teeth while preserving adjacent healthy teeth.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners. This discreet orthodontic solution gradually repositions teeth without traditional brackets or wires. Our digital planning software maps treatment progression from start to finish. The removable nature allows unrestricted eating and proper oral hygiene maintenance. Treatment addresses crowding, spacing, and bite issues while offering virtual consultations and reduced clinic visits compared to conventional braces, making it ideal for busy professionals.
Emergency Care
Our emergency dental service provides same-day treatment for urgent oral health issues including tooth pain, fractures, and infections. We maintain dedicated appointment slots for immediate care while ensuring continuity for regular patients. Our protocols address trauma management, pain control, and temporary restorations to stabilize conditions. The team handles complex cases involving facial swelling, knocked-out teeth, and broken restorations, offering both immediate relief and long-term treatment planning for sustained oral health.

Questions
What emergency dental services are available?
We provide same-day emergency care for tooth pain, fractures, infections, and trauma. Our team prioritizes urgent cases while maintaining regular patient appointments.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we provide interest-free payment plans for all treatments to make quality dental care accessible and affordable for our patients.
How does digital smile design work?
Digital Smile Design uses facial analysis software to create a personalized smile preview. Patients can visualize and modify their proposed smile before any treatment begins.
What's the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers are thin front-facing shells requiring minimal preparation, while crowns fully encase teeth for structural reinforcement. We recommend each based on individual tooth condition and treatment goals.
Are dental implants suitable for everyone?
Implant suitability depends on bone density and general health. We conduct comprehensive assessments including 3D imaging to determine candidacy and develop appropriate treatment plans.
How can I prepare for Invisalign treatment?
Begin by scheduling a consultation for digital treatment planning. We'll create your personalized aligner sequence and provide instructions for proper care and wear.

Is was like a breath of fresh to be met by a great and friendly team. From reception, the Hygienist, the support staff and Dr Treherne. Not to mention the level of care and detail in explaining every step and any additional steps needed. A great experience and certainly felt like great value for money.... No guesses where I'll be getting my on-going dentistry work. Joseph.

Dr Treherne and the team at Melbourne Dentist were amazing in making me feel comfortable during my visit. The customer care and service they provided was fantastic, and the options given to me with a range of solutions to give me a healthier and happy smile was very informative. Highly recommend these guys.

I had a dental concern and was extremely worried, and due to the current covid-19 environment, I wanted to book a dental appointment but was worried that it would be unsafe. I sent an email to Melbourne Dentist detailing my concerns, not expecting much of a reply. To my surprise, Dr David Treherne replied promptly and in much detail, reassuring me that my concerns were not serious and taking the time to provide me with a range of advice and recommendations when he didn't have to. Thanks to him, I now have peace of mind and am so grateful for his kindness! I will definitely be booking an appointment

Melbourne Dentist provided an excellent service ! My teeth have never looked better, they played the music I liked and had a plasma television on the roof to watch during the cleaning. 10/10 would go again.

Cannot recommend David and his team enough. I have had a root canal, fillings and invisalign done in the last year after being referred to the practice and actually enjoy going to the dentist. They are reasonably priced and transparent. We watched a Brony video while getting fillings done.......AND they got me a baby yoda mouthguard made up. If you need work done give them a call.

Easily the best dental practice I have ever been to. All of the staff are fun, friendly and supportive, and the dental practitioner is experienced and knowledgeable. The options I was given were clearly all about providing me with a range of solutions to best suit my needs, rather than to maximise their revenue. I can't recommend this team more highly and I will certainly be returning here for the foreseeable future.
Fantastic!
