Established more than seventy years ago and under Dr. Ian Fishman’s ownership since 1988, Collins Dental Image has remained steadfastly committed to providing exceptional dental care to patients of all ages and stages, including busy city professionals and families.
Fiercely devoted to upholding our reputation for inimitable quality, our team aims to provide patients with an outstanding VIP experience at every visit.
Whether you need a checkup and clean or want to restore your smile, we cover everything from smile maintenance to makeover and we're committed to providing exceptional dental care. Our extensive services include general, cosmetic, Invisalign treatment and braces, dental implants, children's dentistry, snoring and sleep apnoea solutions and more. Our dentists will ensure you achieve the outcome you desire.
And because we believe prevention is better than cure, we were one of the first practices in Victoria to have an in-house hygienist-led preventative care program and see the benefits of more than three decades of gold standard preventative care. Many of our patients in their 70's are as dentally healthy as they were in their 40's. Maybe we are the fountain of dental youth!
We work to ensure that all our patients have a first class experience which means priority boarding so that you will be seen promptly. You can enjoy coffee or tea, hot or cold towels after your appointments, and access to a full suite of dental treatments customised to your needs and goals. We also offer online booking to ensure your visit is convenient and seamless.
BOOK NOWHave your teeth assessed and discover how our practice can address your smile needs - without even having to leave your home. You just need to send us photos of your teeth and receive your personalised dental report via email with our complimentary virtual assessment.
We also offer a complimentary follow-up visit for new patients. Hence, there is no pressure to decide on treatment going forward, just options to consider and the opportunity to ask questions and make an informed decision.
At our practice, we promise:
A hallmark of our practice is our commitment to transparency, so there are no surprises. We will outline the advantages and disadvantages of options, giving patients the information you need to make an informed decision. We'll let you know the length of your appointments, how many will be required, and how long treatment will take.
Because we value our patients' time, our practice offers a Dental Delay Discount™ as an on-time guarantee. As we are genuinely committed to delivering a best-in-class service to each patient, we don't over-book, which means our team can take the time to focus on providing an outstanding level of patient care.
We recommend a checkup with the dentist once every 6 months. Early intervention is key as the sooner we're able to pick up issues such as decay, gum disease or tooth loss, the sooner we can help combat these issues and better preserve your natural smile for a lifetime.
We like to create a spa-like experience and pride ourselves on the comprehensive induction program each of our highly skilled hygienists completes before joining us - designed to ensure an almost painless experience. Dental cleaning shouldn't have to hurt to be thorough. We also go the extra mile with our patient care, including a warm blanket or cool towel to enhance your comfort.
Digital technology, including 3D imaging, plays a crucial role in planning and precision for complex dental procedures, improving accuracy and patient outcomes. At Collins Dental Image, we offer digital smile design which includes a digital scan, plus a 3D printed simulation which allows you to try on your new smile to see what you will look like before you go ahead with treatment.
Invisalign has a number of advantages, including virtually invisible aligners which means they are more discreet than traditional braces, plus convenience as they can be removed when eating or drinking. However, suitability depends on the complexity of the orthodontic issues which can be determined through a consultation with our experienced dentists.
At Collins Dental Image, we offer both composite and porcelain veneers which are a natural looking option to enhance your smile or mask any dental imperfections in a shorter time frame than orthodontics. We use 3D technology to help visualise and design the natural-looking smile you want before commencing any treatment . The treatment process varies depending on the type of veneer you choose, as well as how many teeth we enhance and other factors, but composite veneers can be done in one visit whereas the most natural looking porcelain veneers require at least 2 visits. Ask your dentist at your next visit.
Root canal therapy is needed in situations where trauma or decay have caused inflammation or infection resulting in severe toothache and associated pain. Our dentists will do everything possible to help save your natural tooth by removing damaged nerves and sealing the canal. To protect the biting surface of the tooth, it's often necessary to use a large filling, or in some cases, crowns or inlays.
Implants can last indefinitely - the crowns on top can last 10-20 years. Good oral hygiene habits at home, regular visits for implant maintenance as part of your checkup and clean, plus healthy lifestyle habits contribute significantly to the long-term success of dental implants.
IResults do tend to vary, but whitening can last anything from a few months to a year depending on the form of whitening you use. In-chair whitening tends to deliver longer-lasting results than take-home whitening for instance. Drinking coffee, tea or red wine may have an impact due to their staining effects. You can always keep your teeth white with a home whitening touch-up .
For your convenience, we'll make sure to reimburse the parking fee for the duration of your visit to our practice.
