Family Dentistry
East Keilor Dental has proudly served families in the community since 1976. We make it simple and convenient for families to receive the dental care they need to enjoy a healthy smile.
Preventive Dentistry: Your Foundation for a Healthy Smile
As your general dentists in East Keilor, we focus on prevention to protect your smile and dental health. When you visit our dental clinic regularly throughout the year for preventive teeth cleans and exams, we can identify problems earlier before they become more significant and more costly.
Whether we’re working with children, adults, or seniors, our approach to preventive dental care is the same:
- Establish a schedule for routine teeth cleans and exams that are best for your unique dental needs
- Offer information and education about dental health for more effective home care routines, which results in empowered decisions about dental needs and treatments.
Preventive dental services we offer at East Keilor Dental:
- Professional teeth cleans and exams
- Digital x-rays for diagnostics
- Children’s dentistry
- Fluoride treatments and dental sealants
- Treatment for periodontal (gum) disease
- Protective nightguards and mouthguards

Additional Services for Your Dental Health and Overall Well-Being
Getting a good night’s rest is essential for your health and well-being. Sleep disorders, such as sleep apnoea, can keep you from getting the rejuvenating sleep you need.
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) occurs when your airway is blocked during sleep, which causes you to stop breathing. The lack of oxygen sends a signal to your brain to wake you up, which can happen multiple times throughout the night in mild to moderate cases and hundreds of times in severe cases.
Your East Keilor dentist can help with mild to moderate sleep apnea by creating a customised oral appliance that helps to reposition your jaw while you sleep, which opens your airway for clear breathing.
Some of the signs you or your bed partner might be struggling with OSA are:
- Loud snoring throughout the night that wakes your bed partner
- Frequent headaches or migraines – especially in the morning
- Chronic fatigue or exhaustion
- Waking during the night coughing or gasping for air
- Waking with a dry mouth or sore throat
We invite you to contact our dental surgery for more information about how we can help with sleep apnoea or to arrange your next dental appointment.
