Emergency Dentistry
Our emergency dental service provides prompt care for urgent oral health issues including toothaches, broken teeth, and mouth injuries. With same-day appointments available, our experienced team uses modern techniques to relieve pain and restore dental function. Patients consistently praise our ability to handle emergencies with calm professionalism while maintaining strict infection control standards.
Invisalign Treatment
We offer Invisalign clear aligner therapy for adults seeking discreet teeth straightening solutions. Our dentists create custom treatment plans using digital imaging technology to achieve optimal alignment. The removable trays allow normal eating and cleaning while gradually improving your smile, with regular check-ups to monitor progress every 6-8 weeks.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening services include in-chair treatments using high-strength bleaching agents and take-home kits with custom-fitted trays. Our dentists assess tooth sensitivity before treatment to ensure comfortable results, with options available for both quick transformations and gradual improvement of stained or discoloured teeth.
Dental Implants
We provide comprehensive implant solutions for missing teeth, including initial consultation, surgical placement, and crown restoration. Our dentists use titanium posts that fuse with jawbone tissue to create stable foundations for natural-looking replacement teeth. Complimentary consultations help patients understand suitability and long-term benefits compared to other restoration options.
Children's Dentistry
Our child-friendly dental services focus on preventive care and positive early experiences. We offer routine check-ups, fissure sealants, and gentle treatment approaches tailored to young patients' needs. The team specialises in creating comfortable environments that help children develop good oral hygiene habits and reduce dental anxiety through patient education.

Report
I have been living in port Melbourne since 1992 and been here a few time. I am a pensioner and told the staff that i am....I went to see dentist newstadt or whatever his name is...$50 X-ray...says tooth needs work. $160 I think, too take it out or about $600 to fill up decay...so being a pensioner, take it out =$160..after, I ask to see the tooth...no it's bio hazard material, I demand give me a look..and it had only a little bit of decay near the gum line...I didn't know that..I thought it was shot...so he pulled out a good tooth because I couldn't afford the extra $440...so much for caring for

Extremely disappointed with my consultation with Dr Newstadt, he was rushed, rude, dismissive and arrogant. The consultation fee was misleading and I was charged $160 for five minutes of his rudeness. Do not book an appointment with Dr nNewstadt.

All I can say is, they rescued and saved my teeth!!! I had a really unusual experience from two other dentists. Misdiagnosed issues and ended up with severe tooth pain and lost sleep. I had pustules in my mouth also. They fit me in asap (I was a new patient/client) told me the issue, and put a plan in place. Within a week my teeth were perfect and Im not even anxious about the dentists anymore. Lovely, amazing place. The best people. My son believes they are real living tooth fairies. I agree.

Dr Sejal Dhokia is an excellent dentist. She has a very professional approach and is a lovely person as well. She explains dental problems and options very clearly and carefully but also has a friendly sense of humour. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Dhokia.
