After having an awful experience with the last dental clinic I went to, I can safely say that this clinic, the dentists, Michael and Nish, and all the staff, made me feel welcome.

My visit to Care Family Dental was the best experience I ever had at a dentist. I had a filling done on a broken tooth, and it was quick, painless and not too expensive.

General Dentistry
Routine Care Done Properly
We see patients of all ages for regular dental care. If it’s been a while since your last visit — that’s fine, we’ve heard it before.
Check-up & Clean
Full exam, digital X-rays, and a professional scale and polish. We walk you through what we find before doing anything.
Fillings
Tooth-coloured composite fillings that match your natural tooth. No silver amalgam unless you want it.
Crowns & Bridges
For heavily damaged or missing teeth. Ceramic matched to the colour and shape of your existing teeth.
Kids' Dentistry
We're used to nervous kids (and nervous parents). We keep it calm, short, and stress-free — for everyone.
Prevention
Fluoride, fissure sealants, and a practical plan for keeping on top of things between visits.
Wisdom Teeth
Assessment and extraction if they need to come out. Happy gas available for anyone who'd rather not feel a thing.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a same-day emergency appointment?
We keep slots available for emergencies every day. Call (03) 9826 3633 first thing in the morning and we’ll do our best to get you in. The earlier you call, the better your chances.
What counts as a dental emergency?
If you’re in pain, bleeding, have facial swelling, or you’ve cracked, lost, or knocked out a tooth — call us. Even if you’re not sure whether it’s urgent, it’s worth a quick call. We’d rather you check than sit at home in pain.
Are you taking on new patients?
Yes, we’re currently accepting new patients.
Do you accept my health fund?
We accept all Australian private health funds and process claims on the spot via HICAPS. We’re a preferred provider for Medibank, BUPA, HCF and NIB — which usually means lower out-of-pocket costs for you.
I'm nervous about the dentist. Can you help?
You’re not alone — a lot of our patients are. Dr Gauri works at your pace and explains what’s happening at each step. We also offer happy gas (nitrous oxide) for anyone who needs it. Just let us know when you book.
How much does a standard check-up cost?
for existing and new patients, call us on (03) 9826 3633 or email us on info@tooraksmiles.com.au and we’ll give you a quote upfront.
