Whether you are based in East Melbourne or commuting from nearby Richmond or Fitzroy, maintaining a healthy, aesthetic smile is easier than ever. At our clinic on Jolimont Road, Dr Leighton Phu takes a comprehensive approach to dental health, ensuring every patient receives tailored care. Just like we assisted our patient Farhad, our team focuses on preserving your natural teeth whenever possible while enhancing your smile through precise, evidence-based treatments.
Our Approach to Restorative Dentistry
Assess and Preserve
The first step in any restorative journey is a thorough assessment. As we did with Farhad, we examine existing work—such as old crowns or previous treatments—to determine the best path forward. Our goal is to ensure there is sufficient healthy tooth structure remaining so we can save your natural teeth rather than opting for extraction.
Healing and Restoration
If previous treatments have become compromised, we focus on retreatment and healing. For Farhad, this involved addressing reinfected root canals to restore health to the tooth structure. Once the foundation is solid, we utilise custom-crafted ceramic crowns to provide strength and aesthetics. Where teeth are missing, dental implants are used to replace the missing roots, creating a harmonious and functional smile.
Routine Maintenance
Achieving a beautiful result is only the beginning. We emphasize the importance of regular check-ups and cleaning to ensure that your gums, crowns, and remaining natural teeth are well maintained for years to come.
We invite you to experience dedicated care at our East Melbourne practice. To discuss your needs, please call us on (03) 8820 1699 or book an appointment online today.
