Why we're different

What makes East St Kilda Dental different

Plenty of clinics can clean your teeth. Here's what you get with us that you won't find just anywhere.

Eight reasons families choose us

The difference is in how we care

Decades of local trust

We've been on this corner since around 1980, with many second and third-generation patients. That history is something a new clinic simply can't replicate.

No judgement, ever

However long it's been, you'll be met with warmth, not a lecture. “No judgement” isn't a slogan for us, it's built into every call, visit and conversation.

Comprehensive, not patchwork

We look at the whole picture, teeth, gums, bite and long-term health, and plan ahead, rather than just patching the tooth in front of us.

Genuinely good with nervous patients

Dental anxiety is normal and we treat it as a clinical factor, not a barrier. Gentle pace, full control, and happy gas if you’d like it.

A female-led clinical team

Dr Anbar Ganatra leads our clinical care, which many patients, especially those who feel anxious, tell us makes a real difference to how comfortable they feel.

Coaching-informed communication

Our way of explaining things is shaped by coaching and behavioural-change principles, so you understand your care and never feel sold to.

A multilingual team

Between us we speak several languages, including Mandarin, Hebrew, Russian, Hindi, Tamil and Kannada, so more of our community can feel at home here.

Responsible, not cheap or pushy

We're not the cheapest and we're not a high-pressure chain. We practise responsible dentistry: honest, preventive, and planned for the long term.

Decades of trust, a gentle team, and honest, comprehensive care. That's the difference.
