Having healthy teeth for life starts with developing great habits. That is why we encourage you to bring in your little ones as soon as their first teeth appear, even if it’s just to say ‘Hi’! Our mission is to make every child feel comfortable at the dentist by making every visit a positive experience.
Child Friendly Dentists
Healthy Teeth For Life Start Young
Our goal is to create a positive experience for all patients, but especially the little ones. We believe that a lifetime of healthy teeth is built on a foundation of prevention by establishing good dental habits. The Chomp Dental team aim to make a dental visit fun and engaging, as a visit the dentist should not be feared!
Kids Dental Check Ups
Bringing your child to the dentist regularly is important as it helps us detect issues early, preventing them from causing pain and discomfort, and reducing the amount of anxiety-inducing dental treatment needed. In our modern and inviting space, we use all the latest equipment to thoroughly check your child’s mouth, all while they are entertained by some screentime on our ceiling mounted TVs. We’ll educate both you and your child on how to look after their teeth and prevent any problems in the future.
We help to make dental care affordable and accessible for kids by offering capped pricing for check up and cleans, and even bulk billed visits for those eligible for the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Scheme.

Why Choose Chomp Dental for Children’s Dentistry
Child-centred care
Every child is unique and so is our approach. We are all about creating a positive dental experience
Equipped for little ones
We have modern and innovative equipment to provide the best care for children of all ages. From age-appropriate x-ray equipment to Happy Gas sedation, we have it all.
A team of experienced and empathetic dentists
Our dentists and staff love caring for little chompers. We combine a gentle and nurturing approach with up-to-date knowledge to provide the best for our kids.
Dental Treatment for Kids
If treatment such as fillings or teeth removal are required, our dentists will guide you through all the options. Our clinic is equipped with Nitrous Oxide (Happy Gas) sedation, which greatly helps in reducing dental anxiety. We successfully provide these treatments to many of our patients, without creating a phobia of dentists. We also consider the option of referring to a pediatric specialist for treatment under a general anaesthetic, and will do so if we believe it’s the best thing to.
Fillings for Kids
Small cavities from tooth decay are treated with tooth-coloured fillings that restore the damaged part of the tooth. These fill up the holes and build the tooth back to its original shape.
Pediatric dental crowns
When a large part of the tooth is decayed or missing, our dentists use pre-made dental crowns that act like a cap over the entire tooth. These are also known as stainless steel crowns as they are made of a strong, yet malleable medical grade metal, and help restore the tooth and prevent future problems.
Teeth removal
Sometimes when the cavity reaches the nerve, and the tooth becomes painful and infected, it is necessary to remove the tooth. This is done after ensuring that the tooth is completely numb, so that your child doesn’t feel a thing.
Sealants
Deep, plaque trapping grooves on back teeth are sometimes filled in with a special dental resin, to prevent future tooth decay in these high risk areas.
Sports Mouthguards
We create custom-made mouthguards to protect kids teeth during contact sports. We use a 3D scanner to create accurate models without the need for goo-ey, uncomfortable moulds, resulting in a more precise fit and less gagging.
Orthodontic Treatment
Our dentists are trained to assess for future orthodontic problems, offering interceptive treatment solutions where needed. For more info, check out our interceptive orthodontics page.
Your child's first dental visit
We recommend a first visit around your child’s first birthday, or whenever the first teeth appear.
The first appointment is short and deliberately low pressure. We count teeth, have a look, talk about brushing and let your child get used to the chair. Nothing is done that they are not comfortable with.
You stay with them the whole time. If they are nervous, tell us when you book and we will allow extra time.
What children's dental costs at Chomp Dental
A children’s check up and clean at Chomp Dental starts from $139.
If your child is eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, that may be covered in full. If you have private health extras, bring your card and we will claim on the spot so you only pay the gap.
If your child needs anything beyond a check up, we will show you what we have found and tell you what it costs before anything is booked.
Treatments we provide for children
Check ups and cleans, fluoride treatment, fissure sealants to protect new adult molars, fillings, and mouthguards for school sport.
We also keep an eye on how the adult teeth are coming through. If we think orthodontic treatment will be needed later, we will tell you early enough that it is a plan rather than a surprise.
For anything more involved than routine care, we will talk you through the options and the cost before we start.
