Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth. They offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, restoring function and confidence. Our implants are custom-crowned for natural aesthetics and durability, preventing bone loss while maintaining facial structure. Ideal for single or multiple tooth replacements, they provide superior stability compared to dentures.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services include teeth whitening, veneers, and white fillings to improve smile aesthetics. Using advanced techniques, we address discolouration, chips, and gaps, ensuring natural-looking results. Treatments are tailored to individual needs, combining functionality with enhanced appearance for long-lasting confidence in personal and professional interactions.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal addresses impacted or problematic third molars causing pain or crowding. Our dentists perform extractions with precision, utilising modern anaesthesia for comfort. Post-operative care ensures minimal swelling and quick recovery. This procedure prevents future dental issues, maintaining oral health and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting.
General Dentistry
General dentistry focuses on routine check-ups, cleanings, and early detection of dental issues. Services include fillings, root canals, and fluoride treatments to maintain oral health. Regular visits every six months prevent decay and gum disease, ensuring long-term dental wellness through professional care and patient education.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatments, including sequential aligners like Invisalign, correct misaligned teeth and jaws. Customised plans improve bite function and aesthetics, reducing wear and speech issues. Clear aligners offer discreet, removable alternatives to traditional braces, ideal for adults seeking subtle yet effective smile transformation without compromising daily activities.

Was fortunate enough to get a last minute appointment to see Dr Monk for a broken filling. The repair was completely pain free which surprised me given how much the tooth hurt going in. Easily the best dentist I've seen.

Dr. Christina Ryan is the most talented dentist Ive ever had the displeasure of visiting. Went in for a sore tooth which was quickly diagnosed, my old filling fixed (previous dentists questionable work), and she even took the time to resolve some other issues that were noted (which previous dentists had ignored). Everything was performed as quickly and painlessly as Ive ever experienced, and she even did a cleaning while we waited for the anesthesia to set in.
2019 Update: Dr. Christina Ryan has moved to a new practice called eDental Perth in Rivervale, and I have followed her. Dont

Very unhappy will not go back they took xtra xrays that were not necessary. As I had the ones done approx month half before and transferred but the female dentist still reckoned that more were necessary ended up charging me for 3 xrays . They were rude and unprofessional And were belittling if you want to be ripped off dont go there .thought I would support my local dentist what a joke
