Preventive Care
Our preventive care services focus on maintaining oral health through regular examinations, professional cleaning, and patient education. We offer tailored recall periods from 3 to 18 months, combined with diet counselling, fluoride applications, and custom mouthguards. Early intervention helps prevent costly dental issues while promoting long-term oral health.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with our cosmetic dentistry solutions including veneers, bonding, and porcelain restorations. Our team collaborates with specialist ceramists to create natural-looking results that enhance both aesthetics and function. Digital Smile Design technology allows patients to preview their new smile before treatment begins.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that look and function like natural teeth. Our experienced implant team offers surgical placement and restorative work, including crowns, bridges, and denture stabilisation. Implants help preserve jawbone structure while restoring confidence in your smile and chewing ability.

Our preventive-focused approach includes early screening, fluoride treatments, and sports mouthguard fabrication. We participate in the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, offering bulk-billed services up to $1,000 over two years for eligible patients.

They did not solve the problem but created another issue for my teeth, after which they try to rip me off by making a simple issue a big deal. I ended up with visiting BUPA dentist located inside the shopping centre to get the problem fixed (and note it was a quick and easy fix and i did not pay any out of pocket money with BUPA, but i have wasted hundreds of dollars with St Ives Dental Group). Will not recommend this dentist clinic to any of my friends who lives around this area, especially not Dr. Ramesh and Dr. Yolanda.

Our family has been attending St Ives Dental Group for ten years or more. They are extremely competent and obviously keep up with modern dental techniques. I recently booked in with Chandni and have never had such a gentle and thorough treatment. Highly recommended. Keep up the good work.

As a customer for nearly 20 years, Im very disappointed with my recent experience. After booking in for a root canal, 24 hours before I have had 8 calls, 2 voice mails and 1 email to confirm my appointment (including a threat of a $90 cancellation fee). Unfortunately due to a busy work schedule I wasnt able to immediately respond. I called back asking to re schedule my appointment and I was greeted with the Practice Manager telling me that she doesnt want to tell me what do to but not to re schedule and as it has been 1.5 months since booking and that my teeth were likely to fall
