Our Dental Services - Geelong
At Corio Central Dental, we offer a comprehensive dental service for adults and children.
General Dental Exams
New Patient Comprehensive Examination Package - for $195.
We always set aside a full hour for every new patient examination. This is a time to understand your needs and how we can best help you.
Intraoral X-Rays
We use digital x-rays which are have minimal radiation and give us a great deal of information about your dental health.
Fissure Sealants
This is a wonderful preventive option for both kids and adults to protect back teeth, before cavities develop. No needles and totally pain free!
Smile Enhancement & Makeover
Self-esteem can be closely linked to the appearance of your teeth. There are many options which can help to change the way your teeth and gums look, and we have plenty of creative solutions to suit every budget.
The best place to start is to book a consultation and we can just have a chat about what you would like to improve. If you have an important event, we can work towards a certain time frame.
Kids Dental
The best time to book your child in for their first check-up, is when baby teeth start come through. Even, if it’s just a 10-15min appointment, it’s a great opportunity to ensure that everything is going well.
Having the right routine, diet and daily habits determine the health of all the teeth to follow.
Best children's dentist in Geelong!
Composite Fillings
We only use white filling materials for our patients. They can be both fluoride containing and fluoride-free.
Porcelain Crowns
Yes, a crown is an odd name to describe a dental treatment, but here it goes! A porcelain crown is one of the best ways to rebuild a badly broken down tooth. It can also help to improve the appearance of an unsightly tooth.
Porcelain Bridge
A dental bridge spans a gap (missing tooth) in between 2 remaining teeth. This is a permanent solution to replace a missing tooth and does not need to be removed (at night or after eating, like a denture/plate does).
Appearance is also to a very high standard. These are less expensive than an implant and no surgery is required.
Porcelain Veneers
They are often used for a smile makeover. They are a thin facing attached to the front surface of front teeth to correct the shape/angulation/colour.
We believe that we offer some of the best cosmetic dental work in Geelong.
Root Canal Treatment
Most notorious word in dentistry! There seems to be a very bad reputation on root canal treatments, but they are certainly not to be feared.
This treatment is simply a way to save a painful, badly broken down tooth. Always performed with plenty of local anaesthetic and should never be painful.
Impacted Teeth Management
Impacted teeth are ones that get “stuck” in the jaw, instead of coming through, like all the others. They are most commonly wisdom teeth, but others like canines, can also get stuck.
They may or may not require removal. Each patient is unique, and we would require x-rays to determine the best solution. If removal is unavoidable, we can always arrange for sleep dentistry and keep anxiety levels to a minimum.
Wisdom teeth removal in Geelong has never been easier.
Oral Cancer Screening
Cancer can affect the mouth and gums. It is most commonly not painful, and unless an examination is performed, patients may be completely unaware. We highly recommend that you have an oral cancer screening at least once a year.
Tooth Removal
If a tooth needs to be removed due to disease, decay or simply for orthodontic reasons, we can help! We are very experienced at easy as well as, complex dental extractions.
These can be done with just local anaesthetic, mild sedation or full sleep dentistry. We take great care to understand your preferences and arrange for the most comfortable environment, to keep anxiety levels to a minimum.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Impacted teeth are ones that get “stuck” in the jaw, instead of coming through, like all the others. They are most commonly wisdom teeth. They may or may not require removal.
Each patient is unique, and we would require x-rays to determine the best solution. If removal is unavoidable, we can always arrange for sleep dentistry and keep anxiety levels to a minimum.
Impacted wisdom teeth are not always symptomatic or painful, but many can silently damage neighbouring teeth. Consultations are very important at any age.
Mercury Filling Removal
Amalgam fillings are the ones that contain mercury. If you would prefer to remove them, we can help you to replace them to white ones.
Implant Overdentures
If you have a full denture and find that it moves, is loose and just doesn’t quite stay in, this treatment may just save your life! Having a few implants placed in the jaw and a denture that can clip onto the implants creates a very stable solution.
Patients are amazed at the change in quality of life they experience, as they are for the very first time, in a long time are able to eat all types of foods and chew properly.
Full Dentures
If all teeth have been lost, full dentures are necessary. We are able to create a full denture or offer you a replacement, for an old pair that you may not be happy with.
Removable Dentures
If all or some of your teeth have been lost, removable dentures may be the solution that suits. We are able to create a full denture (replacing all teeth) or partial (only replacing a few teeth) denture for you.
We are very lucky to have Rob Clark - prosthetist for over 30yrs making dentures for our patients.
Partial Dentures
If you have lost a few teeth (front or back), a partial denture is a treatment that may be suitable. These are either made of metal or acrylic. They do need to be removed after meals and at night for cleaning.
White fillings
We only use white filling materials for our patients. These are also called composite fillings. They can be both fluoride containing and fluoride-free.
In Chair Teeth Whitening
If you feel that your teeth are not as white as you would like them to be, in office teeth whitening may be a great option for you. This takes about 1.5hrs and teeth can be lightened by quite a few shades.
A comprehensive consultation must be done before whitening, to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and you are suitable for a whitening procedure.
Take Home Teeth Whitening
You can whiten your teeth in the privacy of your home. This takes about 2 weeks and teeth can be lightened by quite a few shades.
2nd Opinions
If you have recently visited a dentist and came out feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, confused, embarrassed, we would be happy to offer a second opinion or reassurance.
Please do not feel embarrassed to bring in a treatment plan created by another practice, we never judge. We always try our best to understand your situation and offer a compassionate solution.
Sleep Dentistry
Dental phobia or dental anxiety is very common. You are not alone! If you have had some negative experiences in the past and feel like you just wouldn’t be able to sit through more dental treatment, we can arrange for mild sedation or sleep dentistry.

Dental Jewellery
Fancy a tiny crystal on one of your front teeth? We can help!
Gum Treatments
Many patients find that their gums bleed. This is a sign of gum disease. It’s very serious and often neglected, as there is no associated pain, until the disease is very progressed.
Looking after and treating your gums is just as important as treating your teeth. All treatment can be done with anaesthetic so there is minimal discomfort.
Dental Emergency
We are not open weekends, but if you are suffering from a severe toothache or have had an accident involving your teeth, please call Ph: 5275-6565 and we will do our best to help you.
Anxiety Management
All staff members at our practice have been trained in anxiety management by Nathan Castle. We help patients everyday, to understand their triggers and work through them.
Our practice has salt lamps, oil burners and even healing crystals for patients to hold, during treatment. Very loveable and adorable therapy dogs can also be arranged for your session, if you feel comfortable with animal therapy.
We treat each and every patient with compassion and take our time to create a nurturing and comforting environment. If you just want to meet us first, have a chat and discuss some options please make a time.
We do not have to dive into treatment, at the first appointment.
Most compassionate dentist in Corio, Norlane and all over Geelong.
