Dental care at our Prahran practice

You might be looking for a dentist for ongoing care or have a particular concern to assess. Let the team know which applies when you contact us. Dr Jun Kim’s practice offers general, restorative and cosmetic dental services; the appropriate next step depends on your individual assessment.

Planning your appointment

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.

Travelling from East Melbourne. Set the full Commercial Road address as your destination and check current traffic, transport connections and parking restrictions.

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.

Making your appointment useful

When an appointment involves travelling across suburbs, it helps to clarify the purpose before booking. Explain your main concern, any recent treatment and whether you are seeking a routine examination or advice on a specific issue.

Use our contact details to ask about appointment availability and what you should bring. An enquiry form requests contact from the team; it does not reserve an appointment until your time is confirmed.

Ongoing dental care. The general dentistry page outlines our services. Ask how a first visit is arranged and tell the team about records held at your previous practice.

An urgent concern. Call (03) 9533 2288 to explain what is happening and confirm whether the practice can see you. Read our emergency dental information. Do not rely on an unread online form for an urgent response.

Existing dental work. If you want a tooth or restoration assessed, describe the concern when booking. Our crowns and fillings pages provide service information, but an examination is needed before deciding what care is appropriate.

Cosmetic options. A cosmetic consultation is an opportunity to discuss your preferences, possible alternatives, limitations and fees. You do not need to commit to a procedure when enquiring.

Write down the questions you want answered, particularly if you are comparing previous advice. Let the dentist know about your priorities and any practical constraints on attending follow-up appointments.

Before travelling from East Melbourne

Our destination is Prahran, south of the city centre, at the Commercial Road and Izett Street end of Prahran Market. Use the full address and the map below to check your journey from East Melbourne. Allow for current traffic or public transport changes rather than relying on a fixed travel time.

The practice lists appointments during weekday opening hours, including Wednesday and Thursday evenings until 7pm. Opening hours do not guarantee a free appointment slot. Ask reception which time and appointment type are available before organising your trip.

If treatment is proposed, clarify whether another visit will be needed and ask about the expected appointment sequence, fees and follow-up arrangements. This helps you plan around work or other commitments without assuming everything will be completed at the first consultation.
