Children’s Dentistry

Children’s Dentistry

At Verve Dental, we understand that taking care of children’s teeth can be challenging, but it’s essential to ensuring a lifetime of good oral health. As parents, it’s important to find an experienced and local children’s dentist in the Bentleigh East area who can provide regular care and maintenance for your child’s teeth.

Our team are friendly and welcoming, and we take the time to explain every step of the process to your child in a way that they can understand, making their experience as pleasant as possible.

Dentistry for children involves more than just checking your child’s teeth. Our experienced Oral Health Therapist, Nancy, along with Dr Raj, understand the importance of creating positive experiences for children during their dental appointments. They work together with parents and children to provide a relaxed and encouraging environment that helps everyone feel comfortable and at ease.

We believe that by providing a positive experience for children, they are more likely to continue taking good care of their teeth throughout their lives.

We are bulk billed for CDBS-eligible children.

What is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) gives eligible children and teenagers access to up to $1,000 in benefits for dental services over two calendar years. Children and teenagers are eligible for the CDBS if they’re aged 2 to 17 years for any one day of the calendar year, are eligible for Medicare, and are part of a family that receives Family Tax Benefit Part A or the child receives an Australian Government payment from the list available through the Department of Human Services. You don’t need to register your child for the CDBS. Families and teenagers will be advised by Medicare if they are eligible. You can check your child’s eligibility and CDBS balance through your Medicare online account at my.gov.au or by calling Medicare on 132 011. Alternatively, get in touch with us and we can check for you.

Baby Teeth

Early examination of baby teeth is crucial as they can significantly impact the development of adult teeth. In addition, the growth of the face and jaws can affect breathing and sleep habits.

At Verve Dental in Bentleigh East, we offer the following children’s dentistry services:

Orthodontic Issues

We check for early signs of orthodontic issues, including crowded or crooked teeth, overbites or underbites, misaligned jaws, and unusual spacing. We also assess if there are any speech problems or difficulty biting and chewing so we can start any necessary treatment as soon as possible. Early intervention is essential to prevent further problems and to ensure that your child’s teeth develop correctly.

Fissure Sealing

Fissure sealing is a preventative procedure in children’s dentistry that involves the application of a sealant on the deep grooves of the back teeth to protect them from decay.

Examination and Repair

We also examine your children’s teeth and repair them if required. Regular check-ups are needed to detect any dental issues and to ensure that any necessary repairs or treatments are done in a timely manner to maintain good oral health.

If you’re looking for a local paediatric dentist in Bentleigh Eastcontact us today at 03 9570 5188 or book your appointment online.

When I moved from Sydney to Melbourne two years ago, I had to find myself a new dentist. A friend recommended Dr Kamal Raj at Verve Dental. The recommendation was spot on. Dr Raj and his team could not be more friendly and professional. They even see you at the actual time of your appointment, which I find especially helpful and respectful. Their fees are very reasonable too.

2020 has not been kind to many people and finding out I was going to lose a front tooth was not news I wanted to hear. I am so thankful that I sort treatment from Dr Raj and Verve Dental. From the first day I stepped into the building to the day I walked out with my completed Implant every single employee at Verve made me feel comfortable and confident that I had nothing to worry about. Dr Raj explained everything in a way I could understand, and even went out of his way to explain things that interested me about the process. His very specialised torque wrench is measured in Newton Centimetres. My Implant looks exactly like the adjacent tooth, and if I didn’t point it out, I’d be surprised if you could tell that it wasn’t a real tooth. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Raj to anyone needing Dental work done.

Dr Raj has transformed my dental experience. He quickly identified that I needed to sit more upright to assist my breathing during dental treatment. This has made such a major difference for me - I'm no longer scared to go to the dentist. After years of bad expereiinces. I am so grateful his gentle and caring attitude allowed him to listen and find what worked for me.

I am normally afraid of dentists. I would avoid them like the Ebola however circumstances forced me to visit one. I choose Dr Raj. I couldn't be any happier with his service. He is gentle, caring and takes the time to explain things and make you feel comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Please give him and his team a chance.

I recently completed my Invisalign journey with Dr Raj at Verve Dental, after being recommended from my partner and his family. The whole team at Verve made my experience extremely easy, stress free and comfortable. I am over the moon with my results from the treatment, which is it a testament to the advice, direction and special care given to me. I highly recommended Verve Dental to anyone who needs a gentle dentist who will look after them, from first phone call to the end of treatment. Thank you so much to Glennis, Karyn and Dr Raj for looking after me with such care. I will be continuing to see them for regular check ups.
