At Porstside Dental, one of our mottos is 'Dentistry Reimagined' because we take a different approach. We provide patient-centred dentistry in Newport, VIC, by following the patient's lead and taking the time to understand their smile and dental health goals. We also aim to provide you with a comfortable dental experience by offering sedation options, including sleep dentistry. 

What Makes Portside Dental Different?

Here are some of the patient-centred benefits that set our dental practice apart from others in the area: 

  • Empowering Patients — At Portside Dental, we believe you are in charge of your oral health, and we are your mentors. We use visual aids, like televisions in treatment rooms, and technology, like the intraoral camera, to help patients see what we see and better understand their treatment needs. 
  • Non-Judgemental Approach — We welcome patients wherever they're at in their oral health journey, without any judgement or shame. We genuinely just want to be here for you and get you back on the path to wellness. 
  • Sleep Dentistry — We understand that not every patient feels comfortable visiting their dentist. That's why we offer dental sedation, including sleep dentistry, so you can get the dental care you need while you sleep. A specialist medical anaesthetist comes to our dental clinic, administers the anaesthetic, and monitors your heart rate and vital signs throughout the process. Sleep dentistry is ideal for patients with dental phobia, special needs, or an extensive treatment plan they'd like to complete in one visit. Sleep dentistry helps all patients get the comfortable care they need and deserve.
