Services

Fillings

We restore decayed teeth using tooth-coloured composite resin materials suitable for both front and back teeth. Our fillings blend naturally with your smile while providing durable protection against further decay. This treatment helps maintain your tooth's structural integrity and prevents more extensive procedures.

Root Canal Therapy

Our specialists treat infected tooth pulp through careful cleaning and sealing of root canals. This procedure saves badly damaged teeth from extraction while relieving pain and preventing infection spread. Most treated teeth receive protective crowns for long-term stability and function.

Preventive Treatments

We offer fissure sealants for children's molars and remineralising tooth mousse for high-risk patients. Regular checkups combined with these preventive measures help maintain optimal oral health and reduce future treatment needs through early intervention.

Crowns and Bridges

Custom crowns protect weakened teeth after root canal treatment or large fillings. Our bridges replace missing teeth using adjacent crowned teeth to support replacement units. These restorations restore both function and aesthetics while maintaining proper bite alignment.

Nightguards

Custom-fitted nightguards prevent damage from bruxism-related grinding and clenching. These appliances protect tooth enamel, reduce jaw strain, and help prevent headaches caused by nocturnal teeth grinding. We provide precise fitting for maximum comfort and effectiveness.

I have been visiting Bentleigh Family Dental for a couple of years now. The service is always very professional. I actually take My whole family for their check ups. Dr Nadavin is very gentle and takes her time to make sure there is no pain. Have had some excellent experience taking my young children for treatment.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE
Ordered a Occulusal Splint and when fitted was way too tight and felt like my teeth were being pulled out when dentist was taking off the splint
Didnt fix and refused to replace so now I have wasted money on a splint that is useless
I will never be go back there

We're a family with three kids who have been coming here for 3 plus years and seen both dentists. We can't recommend them enough. Excellent dentists. Reasonable prices. Honest. Wonderful with kids. We have recommended them to friends and family and everyone we know who has gone to them raves about them as well.

I saw both dentists for the first tine this week following excellent recommendations from family and friends. I saw Nadavin on Monday for an emergency appointment and on Tuesday Dennes did a root canal filling, a major procedure. Both dentists are extremely competent and highly professional and at the same time they are empathic and considerate. I am so pleased That I decided to attend their practice and I will certainly be using them for all my dental work from now on.

Took our 8 and 6 year olds here. It was the 6 year olds first time and he was very nervous. The Dentist was great with the kids and did a wonderful job. I would recommend them.

Dennes Soma.
*Payment plans that are unnecessary.
*Radiology that was unnecessary.
*Scared to do proper dentistry by referring to others.
*Lost passion for the industry.
