Dental Care for Heathmont Residents

Heathmont sits south-west of Croydon, a leafy 3135 suburb whose centre of gravity is the shopping precinct opposite Heathmont station on Canterbury Road. We are not part of it. Divine Dental Care is one practice in Croydon, at 59 Wicklow Avenue, and Heathmont is one of the suburbs whose families fill our books.

Driving is the simple way to do it: Canterbury Road connects the two suburbs directly, and we have free on-site parking at the other end. The train is less direct than people expect, because Heathmont is on the Belgrave line and Croydon is on the Lilydale line. Heathmont is one stop from Ringwood, and Ringwood is where the two lines split, so you change there and continue through Ringwood East to Croydon. Most Heathmont patients find the car easier. Families from the Great Ryrie, Heathmont East and Marlborough Primary catchments, and the streets around H.E. Parker Reserve, are already close to Canterbury Road.

Everything runs from the one Croydon surgery: check-ups and cleans, white fillings, wisdom teeth, crowns, orthodontics and implants. There is no second site to be sent to, and cone beam CT and an intraoral scanner are here in the building, so the scans and impressions your treatment needs are taken on the same visit rather than booked somewhere else.

Crowns, Whitening, Veneers and Implants for Heathmont Patients

Dental crowns for Heathmont patients

A crown is used when a tooth is too damaged for a filling: cracked, heavily filled, or weakened after root canal treatment. For suitable teeth we scan, design and mill a ceramic crown on site and fit it in the same visit, which saves Heathmont patients a second 6 km trip and a temporary crown in between. Other cases go to a laboratory over two visits.

Teeth whitening and veneers for Heathmont smiles

Whitening lifts staining inside the enamel, either in the chair in one 60 to 90 minute visit or at home with custom trays over one to two weeks. It will not change the colour of fillings or crowns. Where the issue is shape, chips or wear, veneers are the better fit: composite can often be done in one visit, porcelain takes two or more.

Dental implants for Heathmont patients

An implant is a titanium post that replaces a missing tooth root and can support a crown, a bridge or a denture without cutting down the teeth beside the gap. Assessment uses 3D imaging from the cone beam CT in our building. The implant then usually takes three to six months to bond with the bone before the final tooth goes on.
