Services
Paediatric Dentistry
Specialised dental care for children from infancy through adolescence. Our Board Certified Specialists provide comprehensive examinations, preventative treatments, and restorative procedures tailored to young patients' developmental needs. We use child-friendly communication techniques and advanced dental technology to ensure comfortable, positive experiences while addressing common childhood dental issues like tooth decay and orthodontic development.
Sedation Dentistry
Advanced sedation options for anxious or special needs patients. We offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anaesthesia administered by experienced specialists. These methods help children receive necessary dental treatment in a relaxed state while maintaining safety through continuous monitoring by our trained anaesthesia team.
Special Needs Dentistry
Tailored dental care for children with developmental conditions and physical disabilities. Our specialists have additional training in managing patients with autism, ADHD, Down Syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy. We implement sensory-friendly techniques, behaviour management strategies, and modified treatment plans to accommodate individual needs while maintaining optimal oral health.
Dental Trauma
Immediate treatment for dental injuries from sports accidents or childhood falls. Our team manages fractured teeth, knocked-out teeth, and soft tissue injuries using digital imaging and emergency restorative techniques. We provide same-day appointments for trauma cases and follow-up care to ensure proper healing and prevent long-term complications.
Preventative Care
Proactive dental maintenance programs to prevent childhood tooth decay. Services include fluoride treatments, dental sealants, dietary advice, and age-appropriate oral hygiene instruction. We conduct regular check-ups every six months and implement early intervention strategies to address developing issues before they require complex treatment.

I am not usually the type of person that does these kind of things but after my experience with Dr Chinh I felt compelled to. What a amazing all round experience. he is so patient and kind with children and he is highly skilled in his profession and the passion that he has for helping children just radiates from the moment you meet him. I'm sad I can only give 5 star because he deserves 10. My son needed quite a big operation and he was just awesome from start to finish. highly recommended!!!!

Dr Udit was so patient and understanding when he treated my 6 year old daughter. He took the time to explain what work he needed to do in terms she understood to calm any fears she had. Highly recommend this fantastic paediatric dentist.
Reception staff were very kind and helpful as well.

Fantastic care, both before and after dental surgery for my eight year old. Dr Nguyen has a great manner with kids, although sometimes over-explains himself to the adults, but he definitely knows his stuff.
