Our Dentists
Berwick Dental Clinic & Surgery was opened by our team in 2017. With a passion for dental care, we wanted to provide a centre for modern dentistry in our community. In our growing area just an hour from Melbourne, you can book appointments with flexible hours including Saturdays. With free parking on-site, you’ll find that we are a convenient stop during your day.

From treating children to seniors, we feature a range of solutions to suit the needs of your entire family. Our team has been in practice since 1993, giving us the experience and training to help you meet your dental goals, no matter what they may be.
In our warm and friendly environment, you can sit back, relax and know that you are in the most capable of hands. Our team provides all the time necessary to thoroughly address your concerns, so you’ll never feel rushed through your appointment. We like to take a conservative approach to dentistry, meaning we explore the most minimally invasive treatment available to achieve the results you’re looking for.
Dr. Evangeline Alphonse:
Dr. Evangeline Alphonse is a general dentist whose greatest area of strength is her ability to understand and build a relationship with her patients. She has extensive experience working with patients who are anxious or afraid of getting dental work done, and guarantees that you will have full control and knowledge of what’s happening during every step of the way during your appointments with her – the more questions you have the better!
Evangeline believes in the holistic treatment planning model – your appointment isn’t just about getting a filling or a clean done, it’s about assessing your entire oral health and working together with you to come up with both a home-care and professional-care plan that will help you minimize your costs and maximize your oral health over the next several decades. All appointments automatically screen for signs of orals cancer and gum health, and carefully take your medication and medical history into account when coming up with a suitable treatment plan.
Evangeline is skilled in oral surgery and has done over a thousand surgical wisdom tooth extractions in the past 12 months alone. She is also a registered provider for clear braces (Invisalign and SmileStyler) and has completed her advanced bone grafting and implant placement training. All her implants are planned and virtually placed via a computer before printing a 3D stent for the most ideal and precise implant placement possible, allowing for the best result for her patients.
