Take your time. Ask every question. Always feel informed, never rushed or judged.
Whether you visit the dentist every six months or you’ve been putting it off for years, making that appointment can feel like the hardest part.
That’s why everything we do is designed to help you feel better on every visit. We offer sleep dentistry for suitable patients, with sedation administered by our in-house anaesthetist, helping those who feel anxious or who prefer to complete more treatment in fewer appointments. And if you have questions, ask away. We’ll take the time to answer every one (in language that makes sense). Whether you’re searching for a local dentist in Somerville or visiting us from elsewhere on the Mornington Peninsula, our goal is simple: help you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive.
Great dental care is about more than healthy teeth. It’s about remembering the little things that help people feel more at ease. The same friendly faces. Knowing who’s treating you. A space where comfort is never an afterthought. Here’s what you can expect from our dental clinic in Somerville.
We take the time to listen, explain things clearly and help you feel informed before any treatment begins.
Seeing the same clinicians, whether your dentist or oral health therapist or anaesthetist, means you won't have to start from scratch each visit. Each appointment simply picks up where the last one left off.
We get it. Sometimes life gets in the way and dental appointments slip down the ‘To Do’ list. That's why we're open every weekday, with extended hours available Monday to Wednesday, making it easier to fit dental care around your schedule.
Where appropriate, we can complete more treatment in fewer appointments with sleep dentistry. We also offer same-day CEREC crowns, so you can often have your crown designed, made and fitted in a single visit.
Having an in-house prosthetist and anaesthetist means more of your care can be provided in one location. From sleep dentistry for suitable patients to dentures, splints, mouthguards, repairs and adjustments, you'll benefit from greater convenience, quicker turnaround times and continuity of care.
Routine check-up. Broken tooth. A smile makeover. Whatever’s brought you to Somersmiles Dental, you’ll feel genuinely cared for, listened to and comfortable from the moment you arrive.

There are lots of reasons people choose sleep dentistry. For some, it’s the confidence to finally book the appointment they’ve been putting off. For others, it’s the convenience of completing more treatment in a single visit where appropriate.
Whatever your reason, sleep dentistry with IV sedation offers a more relaxed treatment experience for suitable adults and children. Combined with thoughtful comforts like noise-cancelling headphones, TVs in every treatment room, warm blankets and neck pillows, we’ve created an environment designed to make dental visits easier. Whether you’re anxious about visiting the dentist or simply want a more relaxed experience, we’ll discuss whether sleep dentistry is right for you.
Our advanced technology has been chosen to improve your experience and support more accurate treatment.
Our intraoral digital scanner captures a fast, accurate 3D image of your teeth, making treatment planning more precise and without the need for uncomfortable impression trays.
Low-dose digital x-rays (OPG & CBCT) provide a safer, faster way to capture accurate views of your teeth, jaw and surrounding structures.
Using CEREC technology, damaged teeth can be restored with a custom-made ceramic crown in just one appointment. No need for temporary dental crowns or multiple visits.
Professional Zoom whitening safely lifts stains and brightens your smile more effectively than many over-the-counter whitening products.
Our dental laser allows us to perform selected procedures, including gum contouring, smile makeovers and frenectomies for babies and toddlers, with greater precision and, in many cases, less discomfort during healing.
The following cases are for illustration purposes only, shared with our patients’ consents. Results vary depending on oral health, existing restorations, and care between appointments. A consultation is essential to determine appropriate treatment options and understand associated risks. General information on cosmetic dental treatment risks and considerations can be found here.
