Most Rowville families don’t want three different dentists for three different family members. And honestly, who has the time? A family dental practice that sees everyone from your toddler’s first check-up to your mum’s crown replacement makes life significantly easier. Especially when that practice is just a short drive from Rowville.
At Liberty Dental in Wheelers Hill, around 10 minutes from Rowville via Springvale Road, our multi-disciplinary team of general dentists, an oral surgeon, dental prosthetist, and oral health therapists means your whole family can be looked after in the same place. Dr Marian Bassalious founded the practice in 2016 with a philosophy that still drives everything we do: “I give my patients the same advice and gentle, understanding care that I would give my closest family member.”
That’s not a tagline. It’s how we actually operate.
What “Family Practice” Actually Means
Here’s the thing. Not every dental practice that calls itself “family-friendly” can actually treat every member of your family. Some refer out for anything beyond a check-up and clean.
At Liberty Dental, family dental care means your six-year-old can have their first examination with one of our oral health therapists, your teenager can start Invisalign, and you can finally get that crown sorted. All without leaving Wheelers Hill. We also offer children’s dentistry with a focus on prevention and education, so your kids actually understand why brushing matters (not just that you keep nagging them about it).
Our team includes specialists and generalists working side by side, which means if something comes up during a routine check-up that needs further investigation, we can usually handle it in-house rather than sending you elsewhere.
The Nervous Patient Question
Let’s be real. Plenty of adults are more anxious about the dentist than their kids are. If someone in your family has been putting off dental visits because of anxiety, you’re not alone, and we don’t judge.
Liberty Dental has something that most general practices in Melbourne’s east don’t: a licensed, in-house general anaesthesia facility. A qualified anaesthetist manages the sedation while our dental team performs the treatment, all in the comfort of our practice. For patients who need something lighter, we offer other sedation options too, along with comfort measures like noise-cancelling headphones, warm blankets, and ceiling-mounted TVs.
The goal isn’t to rush you through. It’s to make the experience manageable, and maybe even okay.
Why Wheelers Hill Works for Rowville Families
Rowville families looking for a family dental practice don’t necessarily need one on their doorstep. What matters is accessibility, parking, and whether you can actually get an appointment that works around school pick-ups and work schedules.
Liberty Dental is located in Brandon Park Shopping Centre on Springvale Road, typically a 10-minute drive from Rowville. We’re open until 8pm on Thursdays and Saturday mornings, which gives you options beyond the standard 9-to-5. On-site parking means you’re not circling the block with a carful of restless kids.
More Than Check-Ups
A family dental practice should grow with your family. That means general check-ups and AIRFLOW® cleans today, but also having access to advanced care when you need it down the track. From CEREC same-day crowns (no temporary crown, no second visit) to Digital Smile Design for cosmetic planning, and restorative options like dental implants.
We use the highest-quality materials imported from Germany and Japan, because the work we do for your family should last. Results do vary between individuals, and every treatment plan is tailored to your specific circumstances.
