Tooth Dental Information

Dr. Lou Waldie grew up in Ashgrove and has been a practicing dentist in Ashgrove since 2008. Dr Lou opened Tooth Dental in 2015 with the philosophy to provide excellent dentistry, where patient’s comfort is a priority. Explained in an easy to understand way, with all treatment options discussed. We love the community feel in Ashgrove, and strive to be part of this fantastic community. Our dentists attend many of the local daycare centers and kindergartens to present an interactive session teach the kids about dental health and hygiene. We further support the community by sponsoring many of the local sports teams (GPS rugby, Soccer) and school events (St Finbarr’s Fashion Parade, Oakleigh State School Fete, many local school Newsletters etc.) Our state of the art practice is modern with a very warm and inviting feel. Our Planmeca dental chairs are second to none when it comes to comfort (also referred to as the ‘golden marshmallow’ By Dr Lou), and are industry leaders for dental treatment. We also have the latest in digital radiographs, which means a much lower radiation dose for you than traditional radiographs. We also have an OPG and Lat-Ceph machine onsite for your convenience. You can relax and tune out during your treatment by watching a movie. We even have noise cancelling headphones so you can’t hear the noisy drill. For our more nervous patients, we offer nitrous oxide (happy gas).
