Restoring Your Smile with Precision
Ringwood families have a straightforward option for full-service family dentistry about 10 minutes down Mt Dandenong Rd: The Fine Tooth Company in Croydon. We have been looking after patients from Ringwood, Eastland, and the surrounding streets for years, and we know the trip is short enough to make the practice your regular dentist rather than a once-in-a-while visit.
This page covers how to find us, what we offer Ringwood families, who looks after you when you arrive, what it costs, and how to book. If you have a specific question, the FAQ at the bottom covers the most common ones.
Why do Ringwood families choose The Fine Tooth Company?
Ringwood is one of the larger activity centres in Melbourne’s east, with a mix of demographics, higher density housing around the transit hub, and a steady stream of families moving through for the schools and shopping. What that means in practice is a wide variety of dental needs at every life stage. We see Ringwood patients from:
- Young families with toddlers getting their first dental check-up
- Teenagers who need orthodontic work (Invisalign, traditional braces)
- Working adults managing busy schedules and neglected check-ups
- Older patients looking at crowns, bridges, dentures, or implants
The Fine Tooth Company has the scope to cover all of it under one roof, which is the main reason Ringwood families make the short trip to Croydon rather than picking a clinic in their immediate neighbourhood.

Most of the day-to-day work happens in the same surgery where you have your check-up, with the same team you already know. For more involved work (orthodontics, complex restorative, oral surgery, implants), we either treat it in-house at our Croydon location or coordinate with a trusted specialist who does. You do not need to navigate the referral process on your own.

What happens at your first visit
If you have not been to the dentist in a while, the new patient package is the easiest way back in. We do not judge. We see plenty of patients who have put it off for years for cost, anxiety, or simply not having a regular dentist. The first visit is a conversation as much as it is an examination, and we work at the pace you are comfortable with.
For teenagers, we also do orthodontic assessments, mouthguards for sport, and wisdom teeth reviews as the adult teeth come through. Many Ringwood families end up using us as the regular clinic for the kids, with one parent bringing them in on the way home from school or sport on a Saturday morning.
