Community Dental Service Bendigo, Victoria 3550

Welcome to the Community Dental Service, located at 100 Barnard Street in Bendigo, Victoria. As an establishment that focuses on health, we are a point of interest for individuals seeking quality dental care in the Greater Bendigo City area.

At our institution, we prioritize the dental needs of adults aged 18 and over who hold a current Healthcare or Pension card. We understand that emergencies can arise, which is why we conduct a triage assessment to determine the urgency of each case. Our patients are then placed into one of five categories, ensuring that those in need of immediate attention receive prompt care. Please note, a co-payment fee is applicable for our services.

The treatment timeframe varies depending on the urgency of the dental problem. Our dedicated team of Dentists, Oral Health Therapists, Oral Health Educators, Dental Assistants, and Latrobe students studying to be Dentists or Oral Health Therapists work diligently to alleviate pain caused by toothaches, dental swellings, broken teeth, and fillings. We prioritize child patients experiencing toothaches, ensuring they receive the care they require in a timely manner.

To receive treatment at our facility, adults aged 18 and over must possess a current Healthcare or Pension Card and be placed on our waiting list. Additionally, we offer denture provision services as recommended by our dental practitioners.

In collaboration with Latrobe University, our Dental Services also include a Dental Teaching Clinic, where future dental professionals receive hands-on training. We are proud to contribute to the education and development of these students.

Our commitment to the community extends beyond the clinic walls. We deliver various preventative oral health care programs to promote good dental hygiene and overall well-being. We believe that prevention is key to maintaining optimal oral health.

Children eligible for treatment at our Public Dental Clinic do not require a referral. We are pleased to inform you that there are no out-of-pocket costs for eligible children, as all treatments are bulk billed.

For adults aged 18 and over seeking treatment at our Public Dental Clinic, no referral is necessary. Bendigo Health and Latrobe University work in partnership to provide a teaching facility within our clinic, ensuring that patients receive the highest standard of care.
