Dentist Surrey Hills:Dentistry on a different curve.

Gentle dental care that’s shaped around you. Experience the difference at our dentist in Surrey Hills VIC.

It doesn’t feel like dental care. That’s intentional.

With us, it’s not an endless loop of rushed appointments and patchwork fixes. Because when dental care is delivered at you rather than with you, it stops feeling like care at all. And when your concerns are brushed aside or ignored altogether, trust disappears — sometimes for good.

At our dentist Surrey Hills, you’re never an afterthought. You’re part of the conversation from the start. Here, you’ll find gentle dental care that’s deeply considered. Yes, we treat teeth, but more importantly, we care for you. That means offering clarity, respect, and a space where you feel genuinely heard.

It feels better because it is.

What your new arc looks like...

Dentistry without a ticking clock

Time-rich appointments and thoughtful care that’s shaped around you.

Care that meets you where you are 

Dr Yi remembers the details, eases your fears and ensures you understand the full picture.

Perfect-for-you treatment

With a focus on restoring your oral health and what’s best for you — not what’s best on paper.

Comfort at every turn

Gentle, skilled hands, top tech, and luxe surrounds make every visit refreshingly comfortable.

What you won’t get here...

Rushed in, rushed out

Because bare minimum consults and patchwork fixes never lead to lifelong oral health.

Cookie-cutter solutions

There’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all dentistry. Your treatment should be as unique as your smile.

Talking at your teeth, not to you

You’ll never feel ignored or overlooked, there’s a person behind those pearly whites who deserves to feel seen and heard.

Dreaded dental visits

Dental care doesn’t have to be doom and gloom, dulled by outdated approaches and old tech.

Nothing rushed. Never more than needed.

Dr Yi Chan

BDSc (Melbourne)

Always with purpose.

That’s Dr Yi Chan’s philosophy.

And you’ll find every element at Arc Dental reflects this principle — from the tools and training she invests in to the time she invests in you.

Dr Yi’s approach is shaped by rigorous training in Australia and internationally at the prestigious Kois Center in the United States.

She brings a rare combination of advanced clinical insight and aesthetic restraint: knowing when to act, what to preserve, and how to plan for the long term.

A 5-star dentist in Surrey Hills, an experience you’ll want to share.

We have plenty of convenient street parking available on both sides of Whitehorse Road and nearby Langford Street. If you're using public transport, tram 109 runs along Whitehorse Road, with the closest stops at 51 and 53, just a short walk from our clinic.

5

I have a dental emergency, can you help?

Yes, we have same-day appointments available at our dental clinic in Surrey Hills for emergencies. Call us or book an appointment now and we’ll get you in ASAP.

Whether it’s a toothache, a broken filling, swelling, or a chipped or cracked tooth, we understand that these issues often arise at the worst times — and they shouldn’t be ignored. Not sure if it’s a dental emergency? Just give us a call and we’ll advise on what to do next.

If you're experiencing heavy bleeding or you think you may have a broken jaw, please go straight to the emergency department. The closest hospital to our dentist in Surrey Hills is Box Hill Hospital.

6

I’m terrified of the dentist, can you help?

We certainly can. Every detail of our dental practice is designed with your comfort in mind, from the calming space to our gentle approach. But if you’re feeling extremely anxious, talk to us about our sedation options, including oral sedation, IV sedation and general anaesthesia (GA). Our soothing sedation dentistry will help you drift off into a drowsy, comfortable state while we work on your smile. We also use local anaesthesia to ensure you don’t feel any pain or discomfort during your treatment.

7

How often should I go to the dentist?

For optimal dental health and a bright, beautiful smile, we generally recommend visiting us every six months.

Regular dental check-up and cleans allow us to catch any potential issues early — before they have a chance to develop into more complex concerns, like root canals. This proactive approach helps maintain strong teeth and gums while keeping your overall dental care as simple and stress-free as possible.
