There’s something reassuring about walking into a dental practice where the dentist you see actually can do what you need.
Not “also does” root canals. Actually trained in endodontics. Not “offers” dental implants. Actually holds advanced certifications in implant dentistry. At Sunbury Dental House, our 9 dentists have each pursued advanced training in different areas over the past 40 years.
For residents of Sunbury, Gisborne, Diggers Rest, Bulla, Riddells Creek, and Wildwood, this team approach means you’re matched with genuine expertise, not a generalist hoping for the best. Let’s talk about why this matters for your family.
The Real Advantage of Multiple Dentists
Genuine Expertise in Each Area
Every dentist in our practice has pursued additional training beyond their dental degree. Dr Fong is a Master Clinician in Implant Dentistry and has placed over 3,000 dental implants. Dr Richard won the ANZ Society of Paediatrics award for excellence in Children’s Dentistry. Dr Alex completed a Master Clinician program in Implant Dentistry and focuses on anxious patients. Dr Linda holds an FICOI fellowship and has trained across the United States, Brazil, Egypt, and Mexico.
When you need dental implants, you see a dentist who places them regularly and has pursued extensive training. When your child needs care, you see a dentist who’s genuinely experienced with children. That’s a different experience than hoping your general dentist “also does” what you need.
More Appointment Availability
With 9 dentists, we can offer extended hours Monday to Thursday until 7pm, Friday until 6pm, and Saturday until 4pm. Same-day emergency appointments are available because there’s always capacity somewhere in the schedule.
You’re not waiting three weeks for an appointment because the practice only has one or two dentists fully booked.
Seamless Continuity When You Need It
Your comprehensive dental records are accessible to our entire team. If your usual dentist is on leave or unavailable, another team member can step in seamlessly with full access to your treatment history, X-rays, and care plan.
Your dental care doesn’t grind to a halt when one dentist takes a holiday.
Collaborative Treatment Planning
Complex cases benefit from multiple expert perspectives. Our dentists regularly consult with each other on treatment approaches, combining their different training and experience. You get the collective wisdom of the team, not just one dentist’s opinion.
