Melbourne's west gets specialist dental care

Core Dental Group's Wyndham practice is on Hoppers Lane in Werribee, close to Pacific Werribee Shopping Centre, in the middle of Melbourne's rapidly growing western corridor. The practice serves Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Point Cook, Wyndham Vale, and the surrounding areas.

What sets Core Dental Wyndham apart is the depth of specialist care available on-site. It's the only Core Dental Group location with a specialist periodontist (gum specialist) on-site, and it also has a specialist orthodontist — making it the most specialist-capable suburban Core Dental Group location in the network. Patients in Melbourne's west can access specialist-level dental care without travelling into the CBD.

On-site parking is available, and the practice is a preferred provider for HCF, CBHS, and NIB health funds, meaning eligible members may receive higher rebates with no or reduced out-of-pocket costs on many treatments.

Specialist periodontics at Core Dental Group Wyndham

Core Dental Group Wyndham is the only Core Dental Group location with a specialist periodontist on-site. Dr Nupur Kataria provides the full range of specialist gum care that patients in Melbourne's west would previously have needed to travel to the CBD to access.

Gum disease is one of the most common dental conditions affecting adults, and untreated periodontal disease is linked to serious health conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetes complications, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Early specialist treatment makes a real difference to long-term outcomes.

If you've been told you need to see a gum specialist, or you're experiencing bleeding gums, receding gums, loose teeth, or persistent bad breath, Dr Kataria can provide a specialist assessment at Wyndham without the need to travel into the city.
