If you’re looking for a dental clinic near Jolimont Station, we’re at 150 Jolimont Rd. Five-minute walk. Flat ground. Hard to miss.
But here’s what most people don’t realise about us. We’ve been around for over 40 years, originally operating as SV Dental Centre inside St. Vincent’s Hospital.
Our founder, Dr Leighton, trained at Loma Linda University in the US for implant dentistry, spent a decade at St Vincent’s managing complex and medically compromised cases, and still lectures nationally for the Australian Dental Association. That’s not the kind of CV you usually find this close to a train station.
Not Your Average Check-Up Factory
You’d be forgiven for assuming a neighbourhood dental clinic near Jolimont Station handles check-ups, maybe a filling, and sends you on your way. We do all of that. But we also do things most local clinics can’t touch.
The big one? In-house general anaesthesia. We have a dedicated anaesthetist and nurse on-site, in the building. If you need sedation for anxiety or a complex procedure, it happens right here. No hospital referral. No separate waitlist. No bouncing between locations.
Our clinic itself feels more like a retreat than a dental office. We designed it from scratch as a calming, sanctuary-like space, specifically for people who get nervous about dental visits.
Three of our six dentists, Dr Ching Ching, Dr Ming, and Dr Setareh, have a particular focus on
anxious patients. So if you’ve been avoiding the dentist for years, you’re in good company here.
What You Can Actually Get Done
The list is longer than you’d think:
- Check-ups, cleans, and preventative care (including Airflow technology)
- CEREC same-day crowns (yes, you walk out with the crown that same visit)
- Dental implants with 3D guided placement, including All-Teeth-On-Four
- Full mouth rehabilitation
- Veneers, teeth whitening, Invisalign, smile makeovers
- Wisdom teeth removal
- Root canal therapy
- Children’s dentistry
- Emergency dental care, including after-hours on weekends and holidays
- Every level of sedation, right up to full general anaesthesia
Your routine check-up and your complex implant surgery happen under the same roof, with the same team who already knows your history.
