Our Mission:
Dentistry With Heart
At Beacon Cove Dental, we believe your dental experience should feel safe, respectful, and deeply human. That means listening before we treat, educating instead of pressuring, and walking with you every step of the way—whether you’re visiting us for a simple check-up or something more involved.
Because for us, dentistry isn’t just about teeth.
It’s about people. And it’s about health—for life.
We’re here to rewrite what dental care feels like—especially for those who’ve felt overlooked, rushed, or afraid in the past.
Our mission is simple:
To deliver exceptional dental care that supports your whole-body health, empowers you through education, and builds lifelong trust—without judgement, pressure, or pain.
We’re particularly passionate about supporting women over 50 who may be navigating a changing relationship with their health, energy, and wellbeing. This is a season of life where your comfort, confidence, and autonomy matter more than ever, and we’re here to honour that.
How We Work
Whole-Person Dentistry, Rooted in Respect
We do things differently here—because you deserve dental care that feels safe, empowering, and deeply personalised.
At Beacon Cove Dental, our approach centres around building long-term trust, not rushing you in and out. We look beyond the surface to support not just your teeth, but your overall wellbeing.

We Take Our Time—Always
We never rush appointments. You’ll have the space to speak, ask questions, and be heard—because your comfort matters just as much as your care.

We Look Beneath the Surface
Your mouth reveals important signs about your heart, brain, and whole-body health. We take a deeper look to detect issues early and protect your long-term wellbeing.

We Educate, Not Pressure
No scare tactics. No confusing jargon. Just honest, trauma-informed guidance to help you make the best decisions for your health—on your terms.

Ms. Bronwyn Cameron
Hygienist & Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist
Bronwyn’s expertise extends beyond standard hygiene care.
With over 20 years in the industry, Bron’s drive to grow as a myotherapist as well an incredible hygienist (previously working at specialist practices) stemmed from her own challenges as a mother.
Her two beautiful girls had so many health issues as young children – and her search for answers were so hard and scattered opinions that she took it in her own hands to study and train in myofunctional therapy to help them.
No easy feat with a young family to support and nurture!
Now a certified Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist, she wants to help all parents with the same issue –
Bron helps solve issues like breathing difficulties, jaw pain, and sleep disorders, especially in children which results in huge issues with their mental and physical growth and development.
Her holistic approach benefits both children and adults, making her a crucial part of our team.
When she’s not helping patients, she’s negotiating with her two young daughters—skills that make her a pro at handling dental anxieties too!

Ms. Danie Bond
Practice Manager
Danie is the backbone of our practice, seamlessly managing everything from patient care to clinic operations. As an experienced dental nurse, receptionist, and sterilisation nurse, she ensures that every patient feels welcome and cared for from the moment they walk in.
Her dedication makes every visit smooth and stress-free, reinforcing our reputation as a trusted local dentist.
Every Smile Has a Story
Here’s How We Help Tell Yours
No two mouths are the same, which is why no two treatments should be either. At Beacon Cove Dental in Port Melbourne, our approach is deeply personal, tailored, and backed by clinical excellence. Below you’ll find an overview of the services we offer — not just treatments, but steps in your long-term journey to better health, comfort, and confidence.
Explore what’s possible.

Fillings
Gentle, precise, and always with your future health in mind. We use advanced materials and a conservative approach to restore your tooth, while preserving as much natural structure as possible — because every millimetre matters.

Teeth Whitening
A brighter smile without the harsh chemicals. Our whitening options are safe, tailored, and designed to bring out your natural sparkle while protecting your enamel and sensitivity.

Your First Visit
More than a check-up. This is where we get to know you, your story, and your goals. Through a comprehensive 20-point assessment, we co-create a plan that empowers you to take charge of your oral health with clarity and confidence.

Hygiene & Maintenance
Think of this as your oral health MOT. Regular hygiene care keeps your gums strong, your teeth clean, and helps prevent small issues from becoming bigger ones — all in a calm, supportive space.

Emergency Dentistry
Toothache or trauma? We’re here when you need us most. Same-day appointments and compassionate care designed to get you out of pain fast — with a plan for long-term relief.

Teeth Straightening (Invisalign)
Move your teeth, not your lifestyle. Our clear aligner treatments are discreet, custom-designed, and ideal for anyone wanting straighter teeth without the metal or fuss.

Dental Implants
A second chance for your smile. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, implants are the gold standard for restoring function, beauty, and confidence — as close to your natural teeth as it gets.

Veneers
Not about perfection — about presence. Veneers can reshape, brighten and restore the natural character of your smile. Each one is a blend of precision, design, and your unique vision.

Jaw Pain & Headaches
Chronic jaw tension, clenching or migraines? These could be signs of deeper muscle or bite imbalances. We take a holistic look at your head, neck and posture to uncover — and resolve — the root cause.

Root Canals
When infection strikes, root canal therapy offers a way to save your natural tooth and avoid future pain. Our gentle, thorough process ensures you can keep what nature gave you — without the discomfort.

Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional therapy gently retrains the muscles of the tongue, jaw, and face to support healthier habits and overall wellbeing. Ideal for children and adults with mouth breathing, jaw pain, or sleep disturbances, this therapy helps improve long-term function in a holistic, non-invasive way.

Porcelain Onlays
Porcelain onlays are our go-to for restoring damaged or weakened teeth without the need for full crowns. Using advanced bonding techniques, we rebuild only what’s missing—saving your natural structure and giving you a strong, beautiful result that lasts. Think of it as keyhole dentistry for your teeth.
They Came For Their Teeth.
They Left With So Much More.
Our patients travel from all across Melbourne, interstate — and even overseas — because they know they’ll be cared for here like family.
But more importantly, because we have phenomenal skills and craftsmanship, the work lasts which means fewer trips to the dentist.
Our mission is for you to have LESS visits to the dentist.
