Getting here from Toorak

Your destination. Shop 7, 180 Commercial Road, Prahran, opposite Prahran Market at the Izett Street corner. Your appointment is at this practice.

Public transport. Check your route to Commercial Road or Prahran Station before leaving. The best connections depend on where you start; do not assume a fixed journey time.

Driving from Toorak. Set Commercial Road as your destination and allow extra time for traffic around Chapel Street and Prahran Market.

Parking and access. Check the signs for street-parking limits. If you need specific access information or are planning a longer appointment, call the practice before travelling.

Understanding your treatment options

A crown, a bridge and an implant address different situations. The useful starting point is the tooth or gap you want assessed, rather than a treatment name you have found online.

At your visit, explain what matters to you: eating comfortably, the appearance of a tooth, replacing an old restoration or understanding an existing recommendation. The dentist can then relate the discussion to your own teeth and priorities.

A tooth that needs repair. A crown covers a tooth rather than just filling a small area. It may be considered when a tooth needs more support than a filling can provide. The dentist checks the remaining tooth before explaining the options.

A missing tooth. A bridge fills a gap using neighbouring teeth for support. A dental implant replaces the root as well as supporting a replacement tooth. The condition of nearby teeth and the bone underneath helps determine which options can be considered.

A cosmetic question. Whitening changes tooth colour; veneers cover the front surface of a tooth. Existing fillings and veneers do not whiten in the same way as natural teeth, so the order of treatment matters. A cosmetic dentistry consultation can help you compare the changes, limitations and maintenance involved.

Ongoing care. General dentistry continues alongside any treatment plan. Mention changes you have noticed since your last visit, and let the team know if you are booking for a particular problem rather than a routine appointment.

Before agreeing to treatment, make sure you understand what is being proposed, why it is recommended, the expected appointments and the fees. If you are unsure about part of the plan, use the consultation to go through it.

Bringing an existing treatment plan

If another practice has already provided a plan or quote, tell us when you book. Ask which records would be useful and bring the information you already have, rather than trying to recall each detail from memory.

A useful comparison looks beyond a single price. You may want to understand what each option includes, whether further assessment is needed, how many visits are proposed and what follow-up care involves. Write down the questions you want answered so the appointment covers the points that matter to you.
