Family Dentist in Perth
Your Family Dentist in Subiaco
Dental 359 has been looking after children, teenagers, working adults and seniors in our purpose-built Subiaco dental clinic for more than 25 years. We know that good family dentistry means something different depending on who’s in the chair. But one thing that doesn’t change? The convenience of having one clinic that cares for your entire family. A team that knows your family’s dental history can provide truly personalised care.
New patients of all ages are welcome. Book a consultation today.
Dental Care for Children at Dental 359
A child’s early dental visits are usually about familiarity as much as treatment. As a general guide, a first dental visit is recommended by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Your dentist can check how the teeth are developing, look at the gums, and talk with you about brushing, feeding habits, thumb-sucking and what to expect next. We offer a 50% discount when children under 17 visit with a parent or carer, making it a little easier for families to stay on top of their children’s dental health.
Your Child’s Comfort Comes First
Starting young helps children get used to the chair before they need anything done. Appointments in those early years can be brief, and we don’t expect every child to sit still and open wide straight away. We keep appointments calm and unhurried, and we explain what’s happening in words they understand.
General Dentistry for Adults
For adults, family dental care usually centres on keeping teeth and gums stable through the years. Regular check-ups and cleaning catch decay and gum issues early, while they’re small and easier to treat. Alongside routine check-ups and cleaning, our clinic covers fillings, crowns, root canal treatment, wisdom teeth removal and the occasional dental emergency under one roof. We also provide cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments, ranging from Invisalign in the teenage years through to veneers, whitening and dental implants later in life.
Here When You Need
We know fitting the dentist around work is hard. We’re open Monday to Thursday, and we’ll always try to find a time that suits you. If you haven’t seen a dentist for a while, that’s fine. We’ll look at where things are now and explain what needs attention.
Dental Care for Seniors
Dental needs change as we get older, and a bit of extra attention keeps things comfortable. Gums can recede, older fillings and crowns wear out, and many common medications cause dry mouth (“xerostomia”), which raises the risk of decay. We keep an eye on all of it at your check-ups.
Care That Adapts To You
Regular visits also allow your dentist to check gum health, older fillings, crowns, bridges and any removable dentures. If you’re missing teeth or struggling with a loose denture, we can talk you through the latest options in restorative and cosmetic dentistry. Dental implants can replace individual teeth or anchor a full set, and our wider restorative dentistry covers crowns, bridges and dentures.
Perth Family Dentist FAQs
Looking for a family dentist in Perth? These common questions cover children’s appointments, family bookings and dental care through different life stages.
The Australian Dental Association recommends that children should see a dentist when their first tooth appears inside their mouth. This usually happens by their first birthday. If not, schedule an appointment so we can take a look.
Yes, we always try to book overlapping or back-to-back appointments for family members. In fact, children under 17 years old receive a 50% discount when visiting with a parent. The more notice you give us, the easier it is to line up. Just ask our reception when you book.
The biggest help is to talk about the visit in a calm, positive way beforehand. Try to avoid words like “hurt” or “needle”, even when you mean to reassure. Book an early appointment when they’re fresh, bring a favourite toy, and let us know before the appointment. We’re used to worried little patients (and big), and we take our time.
