COVID-19: Message from the CEO

Due to the ongoing challenges we are facing from COVID-19, we have made some changes to our operations at the Melbourne Dental Clinic.

COVID-19 Update

No teeth, no good! In Australia alone, 1 in 5 people delay dental treatment due to the cost. But thanks to the Melbourne Dental Clinic (MDC) you don’t need to delay your dental treatment any longer.

It’s well worth spending a few moments discovering the many benefits of our unique dental and oral health care model. Conveniently located in a world-class facility, we offer a ‘one-stop-shop’ with most dental specialties in the once place. Our services range from provision of general dentistry to management of complex oral diseases. MDC is fortunate to be equipped with modern equipment in a central Melbourne position with close access to public transport.

We are an affiliate of the University of Melbourne. The graduate and postgraduate students from the Melbourne Dental School carry out our student dental services under the supervision of leading dental practitioners in Melbourne. We also have a private dental practice with fully qualified dental and oral health practitioners. The fees associated with these two levels of service are adjusted according to whether or not they are set in the teaching and learning environment.

Teaching program

The Melbourne Dental Clinic (MDC) is a purpose build teaching clinic designed to promote high quality care and effective teaching. Treatment at the MDC is provided by students of the Doctor of Dental Surgery, Doctor of Clinical Dentistry and Bachelor of Oral Health at the University of Melbourne. All treatment provided by our students is under the close supervision of qualified dental professionals. Students’ work is checked at various stages of treatment to ensure the same level of patient care you would expect from a fully qualified dental professional.

More information on the teaching programs at the MDC is provided below.

Doctor of Dental Surgery

The Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) leads to registration as a general dental practitioner with the Dental Practice Board in Australia and New Zealand. The course is delivered by highly qualified academics with research experience from leading universities around the world using lectures, pre-clinical practical classes and clinical teaching.

The Doctor of Clinical Dentistry is specialist clinical training for general dentists with at least two years full time experience. The course is offered in seven speciality areas: Endodontics, Oral Medicine, Orthodontics, Paediatric Dentistry, Periodontics, Prosthodontics and Special Needs Dentistry.

Bachelor of Oral Health

The Bachelor of Oral Health provides students with the technical skills required for practice as oral health therapists (dental therapists and hygienists) in general and specialist practice. Throughout the course students develop the scientific, theoretical and clinical skills required for practice as an oral health therapist through.
