Growing more than smiles
Optimising children’s development through dentistry.
A visit that’s about more than cavities
At Central Dental Group, we know a child’s dental visit is about so much more than checking for cavities. It’s a chance to watch your child grow — happily, healthily, and with confidence — because today’s breathing, jaw development and bite influence tomorrow’s adult.
Your child’s development is unique, which is why our approach is grounded in specialised training and personalised care. Our team has extensive postgraduate training in paediatric dentistry, airway orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics.
Dr Leanne Le Anh Tran holds a Master’s degree in Orthodontics, with a particular focus on supporting healthy growth, development and airway function.
We are also members of Australian and New Zealand paediatric and orthodontic organisations, including aligner-focused professional networks.
We work closely with Ear, Nose and Throat surgeons, myofunctional therapists, osteopaths and speech therapists to provide comprehensive care for every child.
We bulk bill eligible children under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule, helping make regular dental care more accessible for your family. Our friendly team can let you know whether your child qualifies and what the scheme covers when you book your appointment.
Little smiles are always changing, and so is what’s underneath them. At every visit, we look beyond the teeth to how your child’s jaw, bite, and face are developing. We also check for signs of mouth breathing, airway and myofunctional concerns, because how well your child breathes and functions can affect their sleep, growth, learning and general wellbeing. Healthy breathing, healthy growth and a healthy bite shape the adults our children become.
We believe the best dental visit is the one that stops a problem before it starts. Our approach is all about prevention — helping your family avoid issues that could become bigger, more complicated, or more costly down the track.
We want your child to look forward to coming here. Every visit is paced to suit them, with plenty of warmth, patience and reassurance along the way. Our goal is simple: happy visits now, and no dental fear later in life.
From your child’s very first tooth through to their teenage years — including orthodontics — we’re here for the whole journey. As their needs change, so does our care, always tailored to where they are. Healthy children grow into healthy adults, and we’d love to be part of that journey with your family.
Better Health. Better Smile. Better Life.
Specialised postgraduate training, orthodontic expertise and a multidisciplinary approach to support your child’s growth and development.
