A trusted dentist for
Torquay families —
just up the Surf Coast
Highway.
Norlane Dental Aesthetics & Implants is an independent, family-led dental practice on the Princes Highway, around 25 minutes from Torquay. General, cosmetic, restorative, orthodontic, implant, sleep and emergency dentistry — all under one roof, with on-site general anaesthesia and free parking.
Closer than you might think.
For most Torquay patients, the trip to Norlane Dental is a 25-to-30-minute drive — comparable to a journey across town in any major city. The route runs north along the Surf Coast Highway, joins the Geelong Ring Road at Waurn Ponds, and exits onto the Princes Highway near our practice.
Many patients combine appointments with work commutes into Geelong, school drop-offs at Surf Coast or Geelong schools, or shopping at Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre. We schedule longer appointments and complex implant or sedation cases with travel in mind, and we always confirm the day before to keep your trip predictable.
Four reasons Surf Coast families make the drive to Norlane.
For everyday check-ups, plenty of options exist closer to home. But for treatment that benefits from comprehensive scope, on-site sedation and depth of case experience — Torquay and Surf Coast patients consistently choose to travel a little further.
End-to-end dentistry, under one roof.
From routine examinations to All-on-X full-arch rehabilitation and full-mouth restoration — you aren’t referred between practices for complex work. Routine, restorative and surgical cases are all handled here, which is particularly valuable when you’re travelling from Torquay.
On-site general anaesthesia.
Our co-located day surgery facility, Geelong Sleep Dentistry, brings on-site anaesthetists into the practice. Complex surgical procedures can be performed under general anaesthesia without a separate referral or hospital transfer — a service not commonly available within Torquay itself.
Thousands of cases. Decades of experience.
A multi-surgery practice with more than 2,000 dental implants placed and 2,000+ orthodontic cases completed — including All-on-X full-arch rehabilitations, full-mouth restorations and complex surgical work. Suitability is always confirmed after a clinical assessment; outcomes vary.
Appointments planned around your drive.
We block longer appointments where appropriate so Torquay patients can complete more in a single visit. Treatment-planning consultations are designed to be thorough, written and unhurried — the kind of conversation that makes a 25-minute drive feel worthwhile.
Every dental need under one roof — from Torquay.
Surf Coast patients shouldn’t have to drive between specialists for routine, restorative, cosmetic and surgical work. We’ve built the practice so they don’t have to.
General Dentistry
Examinations, professional cleans, fillings, root canal therapy, extractions and oral health management for Torquay families of all ages.

Practical answers, before you make the drive.
Sleep dentistry under general anaesthesia is not commonly available within Torquay itself. Norlane Dental offers on-site general anaesthesia in partnership with Geelong Sleep Dentistry, around a 25-minute drive from Torquay. This is one of the most common reasons Torquay patients choose to travel to our practice.
Suitability for general anaesthesia is always confirmed after a clinical assessment, including a review of your medical history. Outcomes vary.

What dental treatments do Torquay patients most commonly travel for?
The treatments Torquay patients most commonly travel to us for include dental implants and All-on-X full-arch rehabilitation, cosmetic dentistry such as porcelain veneers and smile design, orthodontics including Invisalign, sleep dentistry under general anaesthesia, complex restorative work and same-day emergency appointments.
For routine check-ups and cleans alone, many Torquay patients still choose us because they prefer to keep all their care under one roof. Outcomes vary; suitability for any treatment is confirmed after a clinical assessment.
Do you offer same-day emergency appointments for Torquay patients?
Yes — same-day emergency dental appointments are typically available for toothache, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, abscesses and dental trauma, including Surf Coast sport and surf-related injuries. Phone (03) 5278 2666 as early in the day as possible to discuss your situation.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. Interest-free dental payment plans are available, including zipMoney, Afterpay, MySmilePlan, National Dental Plan and DentiCare. Eligible children may also be bulk-billed under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), subject to Medicare eligibility.
Can I combine multiple appointments into one visit to reduce travel?
Wherever clinically appropriate, yes. Many Torquay patients choose to combine a hygiene appointment with restorative or cosmetic work in the same visit. We use same-day CEREC porcelain crowns where suitable, which can avoid second appointments for crown work. Please mention your travel when booking so we can plan a longer single visit.
Do you provide free dental implant consultations for patients from Torquay?
Yes. We offer no-obligation dental implant consultations — an opportunity to talk through whether implants, an implant-supported bridge, or All-on-X full-arch rehabilitation may be suitable for your situation. Suitability and outcomes are individual and confirmed after a clinical assessment, including imaging where clinically indicated.
Phone (03) 5278 2666 to arrange an appointment.
