Welcome to Our Prahran Dental Practice

If you're looking for safe, gentle comprehensive dental care, we invite you to visit us at Lifetime Dental. Our team welcomes patients of all ages to take advantage of our full range of dentistry services and experience the benefits of our refreshing holistic approach.

Lifetime Dental offers an alternative to conventional dentistry, but why should you and your family opt for it? First, let's look at some of the problems with conventional dentistry.

How Conventional Dentistry Is Failing

Traditional forms of dentistry tend to focus solely on the teeth and gums, without any thought for how the treatment they provide is affecting overall health. For example, many dental practices still use amalgam fillings to address cavities. Not only are these fillings visible and unsightly, but they are also poisonous as they contain mercury.

They also don't ask the essential questions about your lifestyle, and how that affects your health. For example:

• Are you using safe toothpaste and floss, and is your technique protecting your teeth and gums?
• Are they monitoring the health of your gums and ensuring you're not losing jaw bone density?
• Are your breathing and swallowing being affected by an oral issue?
• Are your teeth making your face look its best, and are your children's teeth and jaws developing as they should?

These are all essential questions, and they're often left unanswered.

So, How Does Lifetime Dental Help?

We view your teeth and gums as just one part of a much bigger picture. As a holistic dentist near Melbourne, we look at your health in its entirety to ensure we can prevent disease in your mouth and the rest of your body. We don't just treat your teeth and gums; we manage everything, including your sense of self. We want you to look and feel great, so you make a great first impression every time.

We genuinely care about our patients. We don't fill up our appointment book just to get patients in and out as fast as possible; we focus on giving you the information and tools you need to take control of your dental health and set yourself up with a healthy smile for life.

This caring approach is born out of a desire to give you complete health, and to do that, we know we have to take care of the little details. That means using biocompatible materials instead of toxic ones and trying to find non-invasive options wherever possible.

Perhaps most importantly, we understand that a visit to the dentist can be a challenge for some of our patients. Phobias, fears and anxieties should never be ignored. They are real, and we respect them. That's why we've invested in a range of techniques, such as needle-free pain relief and sleep dentistry, that help fearful patients get through their treatment.

We also take it upon ourselves to offer the best holistic dental treatment we can. We continuously research and attend conferences, workshops and seminars, so our patients benefit from the latest techniques and research.

The mouth really is a mirror of your overall health. Oral health leads to a healthier heart, gut, nose and ears, as well as the reproductive system. Yes, women with healthy teeth and gums do have healthier babies!

This inextricable link is why we look so closely at how our treatments affect your body. We don't want to introduce toxic elements into your body when there are far safer alternatives. We check the chemicals in everything we use and make our own polishing paste instead of relying on the chemical-laden premade polishing paste.

We look at every detail so you can enjoy the safest possible dental treatment and rest easy knowing that nothing we do will affect your overall health.
