Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants at Boroondara Dental provide permanent solutions for missing teeth. Using titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone, we create stable foundations for crowns or bridges. Our process includes 3D imaging for precise placement and custom restoration matching natural teeth. Patients benefit from improved functionality and aesthetics while preventing jawbone deterioration. The treatment spans multiple appointments over several months to ensure proper integration.
Children's Dentistry
Our child-friendly dental services focus on preventive care and early intervention. We recommend first visits from age 12 months to establish good oral habits. Treatments include fissure sealants to prevent decay, gentle examinations, and education on brushing techniques. Our team creates positive experiences to build lifelong dental confidence while monitoring tooth development and alignment.
Orthodontics
Boroondara Dental offers traditional braces and Invisalign clear aligners for correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Treatment durations range from 6-30 months depending on complexity. We address issues like overcrowding, bite problems, and jaw development in growing children. Retainers are provided post-treatment to maintain results, improving both aesthetics and oral function.
Emergency Dental Care
We prioritise same-day appointments for dental emergencies including toothaches, broken teeth, and infections. Our team provides immediate pain relief and stabilisation before planning long-term solutions. Emergency services cover trauma management, temporary restorations, and guidance for post-operative care to minimise complications and ensure patient comfort.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services use advanced bleaching techniques to remove stains and enhance smiles. We offer custom take-home trays with supervised application for safe, effective results. The process typically requires multiple applications over 2-4 weeks, with touch-ups available to maintain desired shade levels while minimising tooth sensitivity.

I have always been to Boroondara Dental, Dr John Chen has always given me the best possible service and attention needed. Not only is he and his staff very professional and terrific at what they do but their interpersonal skills are wonderful as well, even seeing them every six months for a cleaning Dr Chen is always interested in what we have been up to and extremely considerate of our entire family and their health. I would strongly recommend Boroondara Dental because they are extremely polite and will not steer you wrong when it comes to dental treatment/advice.

John's been my dentist for about 5 years now. He is really gentle and caring, and I've never experienced any pain during dental procedures, unlike with some other dentists. He's also more happy to answer questions and explain what needs to be done to your teeth than any dentist or doctor I've ever met. I'd highly recommend him.
