When you search for a “dentist near me”, you are looking for more than a nearby address — you want a trusted team, convenient hours, and care that’s tailored to you and your family. At Chelsea Dental Group, that is exactly what we deliver, serving residents across 15+ suburbs in Melbourne’s beautiful bayside southeast.
“Accessible, local dental care is the foundation of a healthy community — and we are proud to be at the heart of yours.”
Continuity of care is one of the most underrated benefits of choosing a local dental practice. When your dentist knows your history — your past restorations, your anxiety triggers, your child’s first loose tooth — the experience becomes genuinely personal. You are not starting from scratch at every visit.
Proximity also means you are far more likely to attend regular check-ups. Research consistently shows that patients who travel shorter distances to their dental practice have better long-term oral health outcomes. Catching a small cavity early costs a fraction of what a crown or root canal does later. For busy families across Chelsea, Frankston, Seaford, and Mordialloc, having a quality practice nearby removes the most common barrier to dental care: time.
Rather than referring you across the city for different treatments, Chelsea Dental Group brings a full suite of modern dental services together in one convenient location.
Our practice sits at the heart of the Bayside corridor, making us one of the most accessible dental options for residents across a wide area. From Skye in the outer southeast to Mordialloc in the north, from beachside Aspendale to growing Keysborough — we see patients from all walks of life and all corners of our community.
Families in Carrum and Patterson Lakes enjoy a short drive to our practice, while residents of Frankston and Seaford appreciate having a patient-focused alternative to high-volume corporate chains. Parents in Chelsea Heights, Bonbeach, and Edithvale bring their children knowing they will be treated with patience and genuine care. Residents of Parkdale, Waterways, Braeside, and Belvedere Park have easy access via the Nepean Highway corridor. We are not just a business here — we are neighbours.
We also welcome patients travelling from further afield — including Mount Waverley and Glen Waverley — who prefer a bayside practice with a more personal, unhurried approach.
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) provides eligible children aged 2–17 with up to $1,158 in bulk-billed dental services over two consecutive calendar years. Chelsea Dental Group participates fully in this program, covering examinations, cleaning, X-rays, fillings, and fissure sealants at zero out-of-pocket cost for eligible families across all our service suburbs.
In a region well-served by dental practices, we differentiate ourselves through three core commitments: clinical excellence, transparent pricing, and genuine warmth. We invest in current technology — digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and tooth-coloured materials — because it directly improves comfort and outcomes. We provide written cost estimates before any treatment begins. And we take the time to listen, explain, and make every patient feel truly at ease.
We also offer early morning, evening, and Saturday appointments, because we know that life does not pause for dental visits. HICAPS on-site means you claim your health fund rebate the moment your appointment ends. For patients requiring more extensive treatment, we offer flexible interest-free payment plan options to spread costs over time.
Regular dental visits are only part of the picture. What you do at home every day has a profound impact on the long-term health of your teeth and gums:
Absolutely. We warmly welcome patients from Frankston (VIC 3199), Seaford (VIC 3198), Skye (VIC 3977), and every suburb across our service area. Many patients from these areas choose us for our personalised, unhurried approach as an alternative to larger corporate practices. Our practice is easily reached via the Nepean Highway or the Frankston rail line. If you are unsure of travel time from your suburb, feel free to call our team.
Yes — Chelsea Dental Group is a genuine family dental practice. We see children from Carrum, Mordialloc, Aspendale, Parkdale, Patterson Lakes, and all surrounding suburbs. Eligible children can access bulk-billed care under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). We recommend a first dental visit around the time of the first tooth, or by age one at the latest. Our child-friendly team makes every visit relaxed and positive.
Contact Chelsea Dental Group as soon as possible. We offer emergency appointment slots and prioritise urgent cases to get you seen quickly. For residents of Bonbeach, Chelsea Heights, and Edithvale, our practice is typically the closest option for emergency dental care. Outside business hours, please call our practice and follow the instructions on our after-hours message. If you are experiencing facial swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or have sustained significant facial trauma, please attend your nearest hospital emergency department immediately.
Yes. We accept all major private health funds and have HICAPS on-site so you can claim your rebate on the spot at your appointment — no paperwork, no waiting. For patients in Keysborough, Braeside, Waterways, and beyond who require more extensive treatment such as dental implants, crowns, or orthodontics, we offer flexible interest-free payment plans. We will always provide a written treatment plan with itemised costs before any treatment begins.
Parkdale residents can typically reach us in 8–12 minutes, while Skye is approximately 15–25 minutes via the Nepean Highway depending on traffic. Rather than travelling into the CBD for specialist-level treatment, patients from both suburbs appreciate that we offer a comprehensive range of services all under one roof — including dental implants, Invisalign, root canal therapy, teeth whitening, children’s dentistry, and emergency care. Fewer referrals, fewer separate trips, and one team that knows your history.
