A tooth may have ached for a week while you hoped it would settle. Or you've tried pain relief from the chemist and kept putting off a check-up. Either way, you're in the right place: Golden Plains Dental Services is a dental clinic in Bannockburn VIC, on High Street. We look after check-ups, fillings, crowns, extractions and more for families across the Golden Plains.

What Dental Problems Do You Have?

Common dental problems we can help with at our Bannockburn dental clinic include:

If any of these sound familiar, it's a good idea to have it checked soon. Call and we'll find the earliest suitable time. Many dental problems are simpler to treat when they're found early. Pain relief from the chemist can ease pain for a while, but it doesn't treat the cause.

For some Golden Plains families, a dental visit has meant a drive to Geelong. We're here on High Street and open on Saturday mornings, so everyday care can stay close to home.

Our Dental Clinic Services

Our dental clinic in Bannockburn provides general dentistry: everyday care for children and adults that finds, treats and helps prevent problems with teeth and gums.

Care usually starts with a dental check-up and clean. A dentist looks at your teeth and gums, and your clean is done by a dentist too. For parents, our family & children's dentistry (CDBS) covers check-ups and care for kids, with CDBS bulk billing for eligible children.

When decay or a small break needs repair, tooth-coloured fillings rebuild the tooth in a shade that blends in. If the nerve inside a tooth is infected or inflamed, root canal treatment cleans out the inside of the tooth and aims to keep it. A tooth that is cracked, worn or heavily filled may need one of our dental crowns, a cap that covers and protects it.

If a tooth is missing, dental bridges fill the gap by attaching to the teeth on either side. Dental implants are another option, and Dr Vivek Juneja places them at our clinic. We check your gums, bone and general health first, so you can compare implants with bridges and dentures. When a tooth can't be saved, tooth extractions include simple and surgical removal, and we call to check on you afterwards. Wisdom teeth removal starts with an assessment, and we'll tell you if your case needs a referral.

Bleeding or swollen gums are a reason to book gum disease treatment. Most cases are treated with a deep clean and a plan for care at home, and some are referred. If you grind or clench at night, custom night guards help protect your teeth while you sleep. For footy, netball and hockey, sports mouthguards are custom-fitted to your teeth.

Dental Clinic for Bannockburn Families

Many of our patients come from Bannockburn, Teesdale and Lethbridge, and we also see families from Inverleigh, Batesford, Shelford and Meredith. Golden Plains has plenty of growing families, and children's check-ups are part of our everyday care.

We also look after many older patients, including people who wear dentures or are thinking about them. Our page on new dentures, repairs and relines explains the options. Our clinic is easy to get into:

If you'd rather talk through your care in another language, our team speaks English, Hindi, Gujarati and Urdu.

Local care also keeps follow-up simple. We call to check on you after treatments such as extractions, and if something doesn't feel right, call us and we'll book you in to have a dentist check it.

Common Questions About Our Bannockburn Dental Clinic

A few common questions are answered below. You'll find more answers to common questions from Bannockburn patients on our FAQ page.

How much does a check-up cost at a dental clinic in Bannockburn?

The cost of a check-up in Bannockburn depends on whether you need X-rays, a clean or fluoride, and on your health fund cover. After your check-up we'll explain your options and what each one costs before any treatment starts. We accept all health funds and claim on the spot with HICAPS. You can read more about dental fees and health fund rebates.

Is your Bannockburn dental clinic open on Saturdays?

Yes, our Bannockburn dental clinic is open on Saturdays from 9am to 1pm. During the week we're open Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, and we're closed on Sundays. Saturday mornings suit many people who work out of town during the week. Book online or call (03) 4217 3810, and you'll find directions on our opening hours and contact page.

What should I do if I'm in dental pain in Bannockburn?

If you're in pain or have broken a tooth, call us during opening hours. We fit emergency patients in between booked appointments wherever we can. Pain relief from the chemist can ease pain for a while, but it doesn't treat the cause, so it's a good idea to have it checked soon. Read how we help with dental emergencies.

Are the dentists at your Bannockburn clinic registered?

Yes. Every dentist at our Bannockburn clinic is registered with Ahpra, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, as the law requires for dentists in Australia. Our dentists are Dr Tasneem, who owns and runs the practice, and Dr Vivek Juneja. You can meet the dentists on our team on our About page.

What happens at a first check-up at a Bannockburn dental clinic?

At your first check-up, a dentist looks at your teeth, gums and mouth and asks about your health and any concerns. X-rays are taken only if they're needed, and your clean is done by a dentist too. Then we explain what we found, your options and the fee for each before any treatment starts. See what's included in a check-up and clean.

Can my children be bulk billed at your Bannockburn clinic?

Yes, if your child is eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), we bulk bill their eligible care. CDBS is means-tested, so not every child qualifies, and Services Australia can confirm eligibility. We see children for check-ups, cleans and fillings, and parents can ask us anything about their child's teeth. Read about dental care for children and families.
