Welcome

Dental Care for Ringwood North Residents

Divine Dental Care is a single practice in Croydon, at 59 Wicklow Avenue. We do not run a Ringwood North clinic. What we have is one set of rooms that a steady number of the suburb's 9,900 or so residents already treat as their local dentist.

Ringwood North has no railway station of its own, so for almost everyone here the trip is a drive rather than a train. Loughnan, Warrandyte and Wonga Roads run along the southern boundary and feed straight through to Maroondah Highway and Croydon. We have free on-site parking with no meters and no time limits, which matters more in a suburb where driving is the only realistic option.

The suburb sits across two councils, mostly Maroondah with a north-western corner in Manningham, and it is hilly enough around Loughnan's Hill and Glenvale Road that walking anywhere is rarely the plan. There is no secondary school inside the suburb boundary; Norwood Secondary College sits just over the line in Ringwood, and families fit appointments around that run. We also see players and parents from the North Ringwood Saints and the North Ringwood Bulls, where a knocked tooth on a Saturday needs somewhere open the same day.

Next door is Warranwood, a Maroondah suburb of about 4,820 people that shares Ringwood North's 3134 postcode. Its name, chosen in 1946, joins Warrandyte South and Ringwood North, and it borders Croydon Hills and Croydon, so the trip to us is short: about 5.7 km by road. Warranwood Primary School on Wellington Park Drive and the Melbourne Rudolf Steiner School on Wonga Road are both in the suburb, and Saturday appointments suit families fitting check-ups around the school week.

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 North and Warranwood Ask About

All-on-4 implants, urgent care, bridges and veneers for Ringwood North and Warranwood

People in Ringwood North and Warranwood mostly look for us when teeth are missing, when something has broken, or when they want to change how their front teeth look. These are the four treatments that come up most.

All-on-4 implants for Ringwood North and Warranwood

All-on-4 uses four implants to hold a fixed full arch of teeth, for people who have lost most or all of their teeth or would prefer something fixed to a removable denture. Angling the two back implants can make better use of the existing bone and may reduce the need for grafting. In many cases a temporary set is attached on the day of surgery, and the permanent arch is fitted once the implants have integrated.

Urgent dental care for Ringwood North and Warranwood

A knocked-out tooth, a cracked tooth, a lost crown, a swelling or pain that pain relief will not touch. Call (03) 9725 8040 and the team will talk you through what to do in the meantime and find the earliest appointment we have, as we keep time aside for urgent problems. For a knocked-out tooth, aim to see a dentist within 30 minutes, and if it cannot go back in the socket, keep it moist in milk.

Dental emergencies · Toothaches

Dental bridges for Ringwood North and Warranwood

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with artificial teeth held in place by crowns on the teeth either side of the gap. It restores chewing and helps stop the neighbouring teeth drifting out of position. Where those supporting teeth are not suitable, an implant-supported bridge anchored on two or more implants is the alternative.

Crowns and bridges

Veneers for Ringwood North and Warranwood

Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of a tooth to change its colour, shape, size or length, and they are used for chips, worn edges and discolouration. Composite veneers need less preparation and can often be finished in one appointment. Porcelain veneers are made in a laboratory over two or more visits and have a stain-resistant surface.

Why Choose Us

Why Ringwood North and Warranwood Families Drive to Croydon

Top-Tier Network for Four Funds

If your household is with Bupa Members First Platinum, Medibank Members Choice Advantage, HCF More For Teeth or nib First Choice, you are seeing a network dentist here. Medibank, HCF and Bupa members holding eligible extras get two check-ups and cleans a year with no gap, conditions apply. We are also a preferred provider for CBHS, GMHBA, Australian Unity, Westfund and more, and HICAPS claims your rebate before you leave.

Independently Accredited

We are accredited through Quality Innovation Performance (QIP). That means an outside assessor has checked our infection control, patient safety and clinical governance, which is worth knowing before a full-arch implant or bridge treatment that runs over several appointments.

Ten Dentists, One Address

Ten dentists share the Croydon rooms with an oral health therapist and a dental hygienist, and cone beam CT and an intraoral scanner are on site. Members of the team speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Shanghainese and Korean.

Open Saturdays, Parking On Site

Hours are Monday to Friday 8:30am to 6:00pm and Saturday 8:30am to 5:00pm. Ringwood North has no train station of its own, so for most people the drive is the trip, and our free on-site car park means you are not hunting for a space when you arrive.

CDBS for Eligible Kids

Children aged 0 to 17 who qualify for the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule can receive up to $1,158 in dental benefits over two calendar years. We bulk bill it, so a check-up for a Ringwood North or Warranwood child who is eligible costs the family nothing on the day.
