Welcome

Dental Care for Ringwood East Residents

Divine Dental Care is a single practice in Croydon, at 59 Wicklow Avenue, and Ringwood East is the suburb immediately down the line from us. We do not run a Ringwood East clinic. What we have is one set of rooms that a good number of 3135 residents already treat as their local, in a suburb that counted 10,764 people at the 2021 census.

Ringwood East station is on the Lilydale line and Croydon is the very next stop, so the train is the easy option: one stop, then a short walk. If you drive, it is about 3 km by road: Mount Dandenong Road and Dublin Road both run through to Croydon, and we have free on-site parking with no meters or time limits.

Ringwood East shares the 3135 postcode with neighbouring Heathmont, and families from both suburbs make up a steady share of our book. A lot of them are parents from the Tintern Grammar, Aquinas College and Ringwood Secondary College catchments fitting appointments around school hours, and staff finishing shifts at Maroondah Hospital, the Eastern Health public hospital in Ringwood East, who want somewhere open on a Saturday.

We are open Monday to Friday 8:30am to 6:00pm and Saturday 8:30am to 5:00pm. Because everything happens in the one Croydon surgery, a check-up and clean that turns into a crown, an implant or a root canal stays with the same team in the same building.

What Ringwood East Searches For

Crowns, Emergency Care, Implants and Cosmetic Dentistry for Ringwood East Patients

Same-day crowns for Ringwood East patients

A crown holds together a tooth that is cracked, worn down or carrying a large failing filling. For suitable cases we prepare the tooth, take a digital scan, design the crown on screen and mill it from a ceramic block in the practice in about 10 to 15 minutes, then bond it the same visit. Some teeth are still better served by a laboratory crown, and the dentist will tell you which applies before starting.

Emergency dental care near Ringwood East

Call and tell us what happened. The team will give you advice for the meantime and the earliest appointment we have, and time is kept aside for urgent problems. For a knocked-out tooth, hold it by the crown, keep it in milk and aim to see a dentist within 30 minutes. Difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding or major facial injury is a job for 000 or a hospital emergency department, and Maroondah Hospital in Ringwood East has one.

What to do in a dental emergency

Dental implants and All-on-4 for Ringwood East

A single implant replaces one missing tooth without touching the teeth next to it. For people who have lost most of an arch, All-on-4 uses four implants to hold a full fixed set of teeth, and a temporary set can often be fitted on the day of surgery. Suitability comes down to bone density and general health, which we check with imaging, including the cone beam CT in our Croydon building.

Cosmetic dentistry for Ringwood East patients

Cosmetic treatment splits by what you want to change: colour (whitening, white fillings), shape (veneers, bonding) or position (clear aligners, braces). We take a digital scan instead of a putty impression and pick the shade with you, in daylight where we can. You get a written plan with costs and your likely health fund rebate before anything starts.

Checked by an Outside Assessor

Divine Dental Care is accredited through Quality Innovation Performance (QIP). An external assessor reviews our infection control, patient safety and clinical governance, and the accreditation page sets out what that covers.

Ten Dentists, Several Languages

Ten dentists practise here, with an oral health therapist and a hygienist. Along with English, our dentists speak Mandarin, Cantonese and Shanghainese, and a dentist and the hygienist speak Korean. X-rays, scans and cone beam CT all happen in the one building, one train stop from Ringwood East station.

Hours That Work Around Shifts

We open at 8:30am six days a week and close at 6:00pm on weekdays and 5:00pm on Saturday. If you work rotating shifts at the hospital, or you are juggling school runs to Tintern Grammar, Aquinas College or Ringwood Secondary College, an early weekday or a Saturday slot is often simpler than mid-afternoon.

Child Dental Benefits Schedule

Eligible children aged 0 to 17 can use up to $1,158 of dental care over two calendar years under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule. We bulk bill it, so covered treatment costs nothing out of pocket, and older kids can make the trip themselves, one stop up the Lilydale line.
