Friendly, Dedicated & Highly Qualified Dentist

Main Street Dental is one of the oldest dental practices in Bacchus Marsh. According to the Melton Express published on Saturday, November 28, 1942, resident dentist Mr M.G. Pietriche began his practice at the Main Street surgery on Monday, November 30. In 2008, Dr Saba Farooq joined the surgery, continuing its tradition of exceptional dental services alongside her team of friendly, dedicated, and highly qualified dentists. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive range of services in a comfortable environment, promoting good oral healthcare for the whole family under one roof.

How We Can Help?

Our MSDP provides comprehensive care to meet the needs of patients of all ages. We offer a full range of services from routine check-ups to advanced treatments, ensuring everyone leaves our clinic with a smile.

Why Choose Us?

At Main Street Dental Practice (MSDP), we prioritise more than just healthy smiles; we focus on personalised care tailored to each patient’s needs. Our team is committed to creating a comfortable, welcoming environment while using the latest technology and techniques to ensure the highest quality dental care. We believe in education and empowerment, striving to inform our patients about their oral health and empower them to make informed decisions. With a dedication to excellence and a compassionate approach, we aim to make every visit to Main Street Dental Practice (MSDP) dentist an exceptional experience.

Regular dental check-ups are essential for preserving the health of your implant teeth. Together with our dental team, we will help determine the optimal frequency of these visits but typically they will be between 3 to 6 months.

During these check-ups our expert dental team will thoroughly assess and clean your implants, teeth, and
gums, ensuring no area goes overlooked, including those hard to reach areas.

Professional cleaning of tooth implants requires more intricate techniques and may involve specialised instruments, making the process slightly longer but it is crucial for ensuring the longevity of your dental implants.

At MSDP we are dedicated to providing ongoing care to safeguard your radiant smile. Regular check-ups and professional cleaning is key to maintaining the health and beauty of your implant teeth.

Embarking on the dental implant process is an exciting step towards restoring your smile. This transformative
journey typically takes 3-6 months, starting with the removal of the affected tooth, followed by the precise
placement of the dental implant, and culminating in the delivery of your perfect replacement tooth. If the
missing tooth is in a visible area we can provide a temporary tooth for aesthetic concerns during this period.

For those with good bone quality or considering All on 4  implant treatment, the path to a complete smile
can be surprisingly quick. In some cases, you may receive your new teeth within a few days or even on the same day as the procedure.

However, if the tooth being replaced has an infection, or the underlying bone quality and quantity require
improvement the treatment duration may take longer. Bone grafting or soft tissue grafting may be necessary
which will extend the treatment time to ensure a suitable foundation for your permanent replacement.

It’s important to be aware that certain medical conditions, like cancer, blood disorders, nerve problems, or
uncontrolled diabetes, may warrant further assessment before dental implant placement. Individuals under 18
years old may need to wait until their bones have fully developed before considering dental implants.

Explore the possibilities of dental implants at MSDP. Our experienced team are dedicated to guiding
you through this journey, ensuring that you achieve a confident and radiant smile.

Most people should visit the dentist every six months for a check-up and
professional clean.
At MSDP, we recommend regular visits to help prevent tooth decay, gum
disease, and other oral health problems before they become more
serious. Some patients may benefit from more frequent reviews
depending on their oral health, medical history, or specific dental needs.
Regular check-ups help maintain healthy teeth, gums, and a confident
smile.

You should see a dentist urgently if you experience:

  • Persistent or severe tooth pain
  • Swelling of the face, gums, or jaw
  • Bleeding that does not stop
  • Signs of infection such as pus, fever, or a bad taste in the mouth
  • A broken, knocked out, or loose tooth

At MSDP, urgent dental issues are assessed promptly to relieve pain,
treat infection, and prevent further complications. Early treatment can
save your tooth and protect your overall oral health.

You should see a dentist urgently if you experience severe or persistent
tooth pain, facial swelling, bleeding that does not stop, signs of
infection (pus, fever, bad taste), or trauma to the teeth or jaw. At MSDP,
urgent dental care focuses on relieving pain quickly and treating the
underlying cause to prevent further complications.

What causes tooth pain and how can it be treated?

Tooth pain is commonly caused by tooth decay, gum disease, cracked
or broken teeth, dental infections, or teeth grinding. Treatment depends
on the cause and may include fillings, root canal treatment, gum
therapy, bite adjustments, or pain management. At MSDP, we assess
the source of the pain and provide targeted treatment to restore
comfort and protect your long term oral health.

You can improve your oral health by brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing or using interdental brushes daily, limiting sugary foods and drinks, and avoiding smoking. Maintaining a healthy diet and drinking plenty of water also supports strong teeth and gums.Regular home care combined with check-ups at MSDP helps keep your smile healthy long term.

Dental treatment today is designed to be as comfortable and
gentle as possible. At MSDP, we use modern techniques and
effective local anaesthesia to minimise discomfort during
treatment. For patients who feel anxious or fearful, we offer
sedation options, including sleep dentistry under general
anaesthesia (GA) and other forms of dental sedation, depending
on suitability. These options allow anxious patients to receive
dental care in a calm, controlled, and stress free environment.

The cost of dental treatment in Australia varies depending on the
type and complexity of care required. At MSDP, treatment fees
are discussed transparently after a thorough examination and
personalised treatment plan. We aim to provide clear information
upfront and offer payment plan options to help make dental care
more accessible. Our team is happy to discuss costs, options,
and flexible payment solutions to support your oral health needs.
