Smile Place Dental at 249 Canterbury Road, Forest Hill provides general dental care for the whole family. Whether you are due for a check-up, need a filling attended to, or are looking for a practice that sees patients of all ages in one place, our Forest Hill team is here.
We see patients from across the Whitehorse area, including Box Hill, Nunawading, Blackburn, Vermont, and Mitcham.
For most patients with generally healthy teeth and gums, a check-up and clean every six months is the standard recommendation. Patients with a history of gum disease, higher decay risk, or who are undergoing orthodontic treatment may benefit from more frequent visits. Your dentist will advise on the right schedule for your situation.
Smile Place is a Medicare CDBS provider. Eligible children aged 2 to 17 can access up to $1,026 in Medicare-funded dental benefits over two consecutive calendar years. Benefits cover check-ups, cleans, X-rays, fissure sealants, and fillings. Ask our Forest Hill team to check your child's eligibility.
We recommend a child's first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits focus on familiarising your child with the dental environment and advising parents on feeding and hygiene.
If you or your child experience anxiety about dental visits, let us know when you book. Our team can adapt the pace of the appointment to make the experience as manageable as possible. We do not rush anxious patients.
