Better Health. Better Smile. Better Life.

Health-minded dentistry: where airway, function, and aesthetics come together.

We believe beautiful smiles are built on healthy foundations. By considering airway health, jaw function, oral health, and aesthetics together, we help patients achieve results that look great, feel comfortable, and last.

Almost 100 years of care Award winning 5 star rated Holistic and airway focused Two Melbourne clinics

Why choose us

Dentistry done differently.

Four principles shape every visit at Central Dental Group. They are not marketing lines. They are how we have practiced for generations.

Holistic, whole body focus

We look beyond teeth to airway, breathing, facial growth and long term function.

Minimally invasive philosophy

We preserve natural tissue wherever possible and favour gentle techniques.

Advanced digital dentistry

3D CBCT imaging, intraoral scanning, guided implant surgery, laser dentistry and fully digital workflows.

Continuity
of care

You are always treated by clinicians who take time to build long term relationships, not a rotating roster.

About us

Two practices.
One philosophy.

Central Dental Group brings together two of Melbourne's most trusted dental clinics, Central Dental Elsternwick and Central Dental Frankston. Our Elsternwick practice has cared for the community for close to a century, with four generations of dentists looking after families across as many as ten generations. Our Frankston practice has served the bayside and peninsula community since 1977.

We are health focused and holistic. We pay close attention to airway, breathing, facial growth and long term function, not just teeth in isolation. We are passionate about early intervention for children, airway conscious orthodontics, and preserving natural tissue through minimally invasive care.

Much of our growth has come from word of mouth and multi generational families who trust us. With kindness, integrity, empathy and respect at the heart of everything we do, we treat every patient as a long term relationship, not a transaction.

Comprehensive care under one roof.

From advanced implant and regenerative dentistry to gentle, airway focused care for the whole family. Explore the treatments we are known for.
