Do you offer sedation dentistry?

What is a root canal, and when is it necessary?

A root canal is a procedure used to treat an infected or damaged tooth pulp. If you have severe tooth pain, sensitivity, or an abscess, you may need a root canal to save the tooth and prevent further infection.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes, we accept a wide range of health funds, including HCF, Medibank Private, Bupa, NIB, and CBHS. We also offer HICAPS for on-the-spot claims processing, making it easy to claim your benefits.

Additionally, Medicare is accepted for eligible treatments, such as those covered under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS).

What should I do if I have a dental emergency?

If you are experiencing a dental emergency, such as severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, or significant swelling, we recommend contacting our clinic immediately. Our emergency consultation, which includes an examination and any necessary X-rays, is priced at $170. Book an emergency appointment here.

How can I improve my smile without braces?

There are several ways to enhance your smile without traditional braces. Teeth whitening can brighten your smile, while porcelain veneers can correct the shape, size, and colour of your teeth. Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, offer a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth without metal brackets.

During a consultation, we can discuss the best cosmetic treatment options based on your needs.

What are the benefits of professional teeth cleaning?

Professional teeth cleaning is essential for maintaining good oral health. It helps remove plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be removed through regular brushing and flossing, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

A professional clean also helps freshen your breath and enhances the appearance of your teeth by removing surface stains. Regular cleanings allow for early detection of potential dental issues, ensuring prompt treatment.

Do you do wisdom teeth removal?

Yes, we perform wisdom teeth removal for patients who experience pain, swelling, or crowding due to impacted wisdom teeth. Our experienced dental team will assess your condition and recommend extraction if necessary. The procedure is carried out with precision and care to ensure a smooth recovery.
