Yarra Valley Dental is a QIP accredited dental practice. QIP is the exclusive independent accreditation provider of Private Dental Practice Accreditation.
Achieving accreditation demonstrates a commitment to the provision of excellent dental care and continuous quality improvement within the practice environment. This ensures that a patient under our care is given the highest standard of infection control, privacy, record keeping and patient rights. We comply with medication safety, excellent patient communication; and we minimise treatment errors through patient identification and treatment matching policies. This includes correct clinical hand-over (referrals).
Yarra Valley Dental aims to provide a family friendly dental service to the people of the Yarra Valley in a calm and relaxed atmosphere.
We welcome all people without prejudice to the practice – especially those who are anxious or have not visited a dentist this century!
Welcome to
Excellence, Compassion, Experience…
Whilst catering for those looking to improve their smile through cosmetic enhancements, we also place a strong emphasis on the health of the oral cavity through prevention and lifestyle changes. Moreover, we strive to care for those patients in pain and manage acute dental disease promptly and gently.
