What should I expect on my first visit?
Please arrive 5-10 minutes earlier so you can take some time to fill out a New Patient Form.
On your first visit you can expect a dental examination and a consultation to address any questions you may have regarding the health and proper functioning of your teeth and gums. We usually like to take x-rays in order to check for decay under fillings and between your teeth. Next is a scale, clean and polish to remove any tartar build-up and finally a fluoride treatment is provided to keep your teeth healthy and strong.
You can also expect that we will place an emphasis on how you can best be taking care of your teeth and gums.
Do you offer a no-gap check-up & clean?
Yes, for patients with eligible private health insurance cover, the appointment will be covered completely by your health fund. There will be no ‘gap’ to pay, i.e. there will be no out of pocket expense.
What if my child is eligible for the CDBS?
For kids covered under the Medicare Child Benefits Dental Scheme, there will be no out of pocket expense and ongoing treatments are covered completely under the funds in this scheme, provided the overall treatments do not total over the limit prescribed.
What if I don’t have private health insurance?
For patients without a health fund, the cost for this initial visit will be $130.00.
