Children's Dental Specialists

Welcome to Children's Dental Specialists, located at 162 Upper Heidelberg Road, Ivanhoe, Australia. As a specialized dental institution, we prioritize creating a positive experience for your child. Our goal is to ensure that both you and your child enjoy visiting our practice and eagerly look forward to returning.

At Children's Dental Specialists, our team of registered specialist pediatric dentists understands the physical and psychological growth and development of children. We also recognize the individual nature of each child and how oral health can be influenced by temperament, family dynamics, and school environments.

With comprehensive training in the full range of oral diseases, from decay to gum disease and tooth wear to traumatic injuries, we apply evidence-based research and best practice guidelines to prevent and treat dental issues in children of all ages, from birth to adolescence. Our team is highly qualified, holding qualifications such as BDS(Hons), MMedSci(OS), GCert(HumNutr), GDipCD(Paed), DCD(Paed), and FDSRCS(Eng).

Our ultimate aim is to ensure that children have healthy teeth and mouths for their entire lives, starting with good dental habits at an early age. We use the highest quality dental materials for restorations, ensuring the best treatment outcomes and minimizing the need for future dental procedures.

We strongly believe that enabling your child to cope well with their dental treatment now is crucial to ensuring their ongoing willingness to visit the dentist. Our staff is highly supportive and experienced in treating children with medical, physical, and intellectual conditions, including those with behavioral challenges. We understand the importance of tailoring dental care to your child's specific needs.

We strive to see children with dental trauma, infection, or severe dental pain as soon as possible. We also adhere to the advice of the Australasian Academy of Paediatric Dentistry, recommending that children have their first dental visit no later than age one to initiate preventive oral care from infancy.

As sporting accidents are a common cause of dental trauma, especially in school-aged children, we are here to provide prompt and effective dental care in such situations. Additionally, we offer the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) provided by Medicare, benefiting eligible children aged between 0 and 17 years.

With 40 years of combined experience in private specialist practice in Melbourne, we have established Children's Dental Specialists to deliver a positive dental experience. Our team consists of professionals who truly understand kids and are committed to expertly providing the best dental care.

Our operating hours are as follows: Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm. Please note that we are closed on weekends and public holidays.
