A Croydon Practice That Ringwood Patients Travel To

Ringwood is the transport hub of Melbourne's outer east, but it is not where we are. Divine Dental Care is a single practice in Croydon, at 59 Wicklow Avenue, and Ringwood is the 3134 suburb that sends us more patients than any other outside Croydon itself.

Ringwood Station is where the Belgrave and Lilydale lines split. Stay on a Lilydale train and Croydon is two stops on, through Ringwood East. We are a short walk from Croydon station at the other end. If you drive, Maroondah Highway runs from Ringwood straight through to Croydon, and the EastLink interchange at Ringwood puts the rest of the outer east on the same road.

Plenty of our Ringwood patients tack an appointment onto a trip they were making anyway, out of Eastland or off Ringwood Street. We are open Monday to Friday 8:30am to 6:00pm and Saturday 8:30am to 5:00pm, with free on-site parking, so an appointment does not have to cost you a work day.

Emergency Care, Crowns and Implants for Ringwood Patients

Emergency dental care for Ringwood

Call and describe what has happened. We keep time aside for urgent problems such as severe toothache, a broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, or swelling, and we will tell you on the phone how soon we can see you. If a denture has gone loose, it can be adjusted or relined here.

What to do in a dental emergency

Same-day crowns for Ringwood patients

For suitable teeth, the crown is scanned, designed on screen and milled from ceramic in the practice, then bonded at the same appointment. That means no temporary crown and no second trip down Maroondah Highway. Some teeth are still better served by a laboratory-made crown, and your dentist will tell you which applies.

All-on-4 and implants near Ringwood

All-on-4 uses four implants to hold a full arch of fixed teeth, and a temporary set is often fitted on the day of surgery. Suitability depends on bone and general health, so assessment starts with imaging on the cone beam CT scanner in the building. Single implants replace one tooth without touching its neighbours.

Cosmetic dentistry for Ringwood

Whitening changes colour, veneers and bonding change shape, and clear aligners change position. Whitening works on natural enamel only, so existing crowns and fillings stay their current shade. You get a written plan with costs before any treatment is booked.

Changing Dentists From Ringwood: What the First Visit Involves

Most people searching for a dentist near Ringwood are not in pain. They have moved house, changed jobs, or their old practice has changed hands and the dentist they trusted has gone. If that is you, the first appointment is a full examination rather than a quick look: charting every tooth and existing filling, checking the gums for pockets, screening the soft tissues, and taking the x-rays needed to see between and beneath teeth where decay hides.

You do not need to chase your old records first. Bring the practice name and we can request them, though we will usually take our own baseline images anyway so we can compare against them at future visits. Where a tooth needs more investigation than a standard x-ray allows, the cone beam CT scanner is here in the building, so you are not sent to a radiology clinic and back.

You leave with a written plan sorted into what needs doing now, what can wait and be watched, and what is optional. Health fund rebates are processed on the spot through HICAPS, and children who qualify for the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule are bulk billed, which matters if you are booking the whole family in on one Saturday morning.

Start with a check-up, scale and clean, or read about children's dentistry if you are booking the kids in at the same time.

Why Ringwood Patients Choose Divine Dental Care

Health Fund Preferred Providers

We are preferred providers at the top tier with Medibank, BUPA, HCF and NIB, which those funds call Members Choice Advantage, Members First Platinum, More For Teeth and First Choice. We are also preferred providers for CBHS, GMHBA, Australian Unity, Westfund and more.

QIP Accredited Practice

Voluntarily accredited through Quality Innovation Performance (QIP) against the National Safety and Quality Primary and Community Healthcare Standards, so patient safety is independently checked rather than simply claimed.

Experienced Dental Team

Ten dentists work at the Croydon practice, alongside an oral health therapist and a dental hygienist. Cone beam CT and an intraoral scanner are on site, so scans and impressions are done here.

Open 6 Days Including Saturdays

Monday to Friday 8:30am to 6:00pm and Saturday 8:30am to 5:00pm. A Saturday appointment is often the easiest option if you commute out of Ringwood during the week.

CDBS Bulk Billing for Children

Eligible children aged 0 to 17 can receive up to $1,158 in dental services over two consecutive calendar years through the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule, bulk billed at no out-of-pocket cost.

Either Side of Ringwood

Ringwood is about 5 km by road from Wicklow Avenue. Three of the suburbs bordering it have their own pages. Ringwood East, at about 3 km, and Ringwood North, at about 4.5 km, are both a little closer to us than Ringwood itself, and Heathmont is about 6.1 km. Further out, Park Orchards is about 7.4 km. Whichever page you land on, it is the one Croydon practice and the same treatments.
