By incorporating digital 3D scanners and OPG X-ray machine into various treatments, we are empowered with better diagnosis and treatment guidance, thanks to their comprehensive imaging system. Additionally, the use of laser dentistry has revolutionised our approach to procedures such as dental implants and surgeries. This technology ensures greater precision, virtually bloodless surgeries, quicker healing times, and a significantly lower risk of infection. For added comfort during your visit, all our dental chairs are equipped with temperature-regulated warm water supply to soothe your dental nerves.
Central Dental Frankston offers a wide range of general dental treatments for all ages.
A meticulous daily oral care routine is not enough to clean the build-up tartar, especially in hard-to-reach areas. A regular dental check-up and cleaning will help prevent or detect and timely treat the problems before they eventuate, saving you the trouble and extensive treatments down the line.
During your check-up, our dentist will utilise an advanced 3D scanner, identifying issues like tooth decay and gum disease more accurately than traditional methods. This is followed by a deep clean using our latest Biofilm Airflow technology, which employs a gentle mix of powder and warm water for effective plaque and stain removal, even in hard-to-reach areas. Our sensitive teeth patients particularly appreciate this gentle yet effective cleaning technique.
The term 'root canal' often conjures images of painful dental procedures. At Central Dental Frankston, we offer gentle treatment, thanks to our extensive experience and advanced technology.
If you have severe tooth decay or dental trauma impacting the tooth’s pulp, a root canal treatment may be advised to save your natural tooth. The process involves drilling a hole into the tooth to remove the infected pulp: the soft centre made up of connective tissues and nerves. The space is then cleaned with an antibacterial solution and filled with rubber-like biocompatible filling called ‘gutta-percha’. The canal will then be sealed with an adhesive tooth-coloured cement. If the treated tooth requires reinforced protection, a dental crown may be advised to you.
Tooth decay is a common issue that can lead to cavities if not promptly addressed. Oftentimes, tooth fillings prove to be an ideal solution to treat and protect the tooth from further impact. Besides this, tooth fillings may also be used to address other issues such as minor to moderate chips either just on their own or in combination with other treatments.
During this procedure, the impacted part of your tooth will be removed, remaining surface will be thoroughly cleaned, dried and filled with a safe material such as composite resin and porcelain fillings. These materials not only provide a protective layer to the treated tooth but also match your natural tooth colour, leaving you with a seamless, healthy smile.
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are robust coverings that protect heavily filled teeth from further decay and conceal issues such as discolouration or misshapen teeth. They are meticulously crafted from a 3D impression of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit and a seamless match with the appearance of your adjacent teeth.
Dental bridges offer a reliable solution for replacing one or several missing teeth. They consist of prosthetic teeth anchored in a bridge structure, with supports attached to the neighbouring teeth on either side of the gap. This stable structure provides enhanced comfort compared to removable dentures, offering a more permanent and aesthetic solution.
The goal of periodontal treatment, commonly referred to as gum disease treatment, is to treat the infected gum area and prevent further complications. Some of the common issues that may require periodontal treatment are bleeding gums, redness or swelling in gums, bad breath, toothache resulting from infected gum, and pus buildup in the gum area.
Depending on the severity of your condition, surgical interventions may or may not be necessary. We recognise that periodontal disease can be both painful and discomforting. At our clinic, you can expect a gentle and compassionate approach to treatment, aimed at alleviating your immediate symptoms and preventing the recurrence of similar issues.
Regular clenching and grinding, known as Bruxism, can cause dental problems like worn teeth, cracks, and chipping, leading to increased sensitivity. It can also result in tender jaw joints, tired chewing muscles, headaches, and neck soreness. Using a protective barrier like a splint or mouthguard at night can help alleviate these issues.
Made from medical-grade plastic, splints and mouthguards cover the entire dental arch, creating a shield that stops teeth from rubbing against each other. This protects the enamel and prevents teeth from shifting. These devices are custom-made for comfort and fit, varying in thickness, with mouthguards generally being thinner. After assessing your needs, we'll recommend the most suitable solution for you.
If a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or impacting adjacent teeth, extraction might be the best course of action for your relief and to protect the other teeth. It might also be necessary before orthodontic treatment to make space for shifting teeth to the desired position.
At Central Dental Frankston, we understand that the thought of tooth extraction can evoke anxiety. Our dentists use a calm and gentle approach to minimise your discomfort. Whether you need a simple tooth extraction or wisdom teeth extraction, our advanced technology and techniques ensure quicker recovery times and a high standard of safety.

While regular brushing and flossing at home are crucial, they often fail to clean the hard-to-reach areas of the teeth. If these areas remain uncleaned, they can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and other related issues.
Regular professional cleaning ensures that built-up tartar, food debris, and stains are thoroughly removed, even from areas that brushing and flossing can’t reach. Our Biofilm Airflow technology provides a superior and gentle cleaning experience.
The frequency of dental filling replacement largely depends on the durability of the type of filling material used, such as composite resin or porcelain.
Moreover, over time, your filling may wear down or become damaged due to the everyday function requiring a replacement.
