Why Caroline Springs stands apart

Caroline Springs brings together the most multilingual team and the most advanced technology of any suburban Core Dental Group practice.

CBCT 3D imaging — The only suburban Core Dental Group location with cone beam CT. This enables precise implant planning, orthodontic analysis, and complex oral surgery assessment — capabilities usually found only at specialist centres or hospitals. Having it in-practice means patients skip the referral to a separate radiology clinic.

Digital smile design — See what your future smile could look like before any treatment begins. The software creates a digital preview of your proposed veneers, composite bonding, or smile makeover result. You approve the look before anything is touched.

Most multilingual location — Arabic (Dr Sherin Gad), Bengali (Dr Anika Moyeed), and Farsi (Dr Shakiba Askary) are spoken alongside English, making Caroline Springs the most accessible Core Dental Group location for Melbourne's western multicultural communities.

Specialist orthodontist on-site — Dr David Austin (MDS Orth, MOrth RCS Edinburgh) provides specialist orthodontic care including Invisalign Teen with compliance indicators.

Specialist paediatric dentist on-site — Dr Angel Babu (DClinDent Paediatric Dentistry, University of Otago; former Senior Dental Registrar, Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne) provides specialist children's dental care including general anaesthesia and sedation.

Free parking — Parking is free behind the practice, directly adjacent to CS Square shopping centre.

Sleep dentistry and IV sedation — Available for patients managing dental anxiety.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Caroline Springs different from other Core Dental Group locations? Caroline Springs has the most advanced technology in the group (CBCT 3D imaging, digital smile design), the most multilingual team (Arabic, Bengali, Farsi), and the broadest specialist access — an on-site orthodontist, an on-site paediatric dentist, and CBCT-guided implant planning. It's the group's flagship technology location.

Can I see my smile before treatment starts? Yes. The digital smile design software lets you preview your proposed cosmetic outcome before any tooth preparation takes place — for veneers, composite bonding, whitening, and smile makeovers. Ask for a smile preview consultation when you book.

What is the CBCT scanner used for? CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) produces a 3D view of your teeth, jawbone, sinuses, and nerve pathways. It's used for precise implant planning, identifying hidden infections, complex orthodontic assessment, and planning surgical extractions. Having this technology in-practice means you don't need a referral to a separate radiology centre.

Is parking free at Caroline Springs? Yes — free parking is available directly behind the practice. The practice is also accessible from CS Square shopping centre.

Does Caroline Springs offer Invisalign Teen? Yes. Invisalign Teen is available with specialist orthodontist Dr David Austin. Teen aligners include compliance indicators (coloured dots that fade with wear) and spare aligners. Call (03) 9363 7888 to book a consultation.
