CHECK-UPS & CLEANS.
However long it's been, you're welcome here. No lectures, no judgement, a fresh start.
Open Monday to Saturday, from 7:30am
GENERAL DENTISTRY
THE APPOINTMENT THAT HELPS PREVENT THE OTHERS.
Regular check-ups and professional cleans are how we keep small things small. A proper look at your teeth and gums, and a clean that reaches what brushing can’t.
Anything we recommend is explained and quoted first, and it’s yours to decide on.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR →
Early signs of decay. Gum health. The soft tissues of your mouth. Wear, cracks, and how any old dental work is holding up. The things that are cheap to catch and expensive to miss.
WHAT TO EXPECT →
A thorough examination, X-rays only where they’re genuinely needed, and a professional scale and polish. Around an hour, and you leave knowing where your teeth stand. You can read the risks and considerations for check-ups and cleans before you come in.
COSTS AND HEALTH FUNDS →
A check-up and clean is $249. That covers your examination, X-rays, a scale and polish to remove plaque and staining, fluoride, and a 3D scan if one is needed.
With some private health funds there is no gap to pay, though that depends on your fund, your level of cover, your annual limit and any waiting periods. We have HICAPS on site, so you can claim on the spot and see exactly what’s left to pay. Anything we recommend beyond your check-up is quoted first and itemised with item codes, so you can confirm your rebate with your fund before committing to anything.

YOUR VISIT.
Around an hour, start to finish.
01 | THE CHECK-UP
A full look at your teeth, gums and overall oral health, so anything starting can be picked up early.
02 | X-RAYS AND PHOTOS
Two types of digital X-ray, taken where they’re genuinely needed. Close-up images show decay and what’s happening between the teeth, and a full view shows the jaw and overall structure. We also take detailed photos of your teeth and put them up on the screen, so you can see what we see rather than take our word for it.
03 | CLEAN, POLISH & FLUORIDE
Removal of plaque and tartar, including the hard-to-reach areas a toothbrush doesn’t get to, then a polish for a smooth finish that helps remove surface staining. A fluoride layer goes on at the end, a compound that helps strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of decay.
04 | PERSONALISED ADVICE
What we found, what it means, and practical things you can do at home. If nothing needs attention, we’ll see you in six months. If something does, you get an honest explanation, clear pricing, and time to decide.
NERVOUS PATIENTS
THERE'S NO WRONG WAY TO FEEL ABOUT THE DENTIST.
If visits make you anxious, tell us before you book rather than on the day. We can take breaks, explain as we go, or stop if you need to. Happy gas is available here if it would help. Where more is needed, twilight sedation and general anaesthetic are arranged with an independent specialist anaesthetic team, assessed and quoted separately. You can read more about the sedation options and the risks and considerations that come with them.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ASKED & ANSWERED.
If your question isn't here, please get in touch with us. We're always happy to help.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE A CHECK-UP?
For most people, around every six months. Some need to come more often and some less, depending on gum health, history of decay, grinding, and things like medication that affect the mouth. We’ll tell you what interval makes sense for you.
IT'S BEEN YEARS, WILL YOU JUDGE ME?
No. Plenty of people come to us after a long time away. You’ll get a clear picture of where things stand and what your options are, not a lecture. Nothing gets done in that appointment unless you’ve agreed to it.
DOES A CLEAN HURT?
That depends on your gums and how long it’s been. If your gums are inflamed, or there’s a lot of hardened plaque to remove, parts of the clean can feel uncomfortable, and some people notice sensitivity for a day or two afterwards. Tell us at any point and we can slow down, adjust, or numb the area first. You can read more in our risks and considerations.
WHAT'S YOUR PRICING LIKE?
A check-up and clean is $249 and with some private health funds there is no gap to pay, depending on your cover, waiting periods and annual limit. Our full price and service guide has the cost of everything else we offer. Anything we recommend beyond that gets quoted before it happens, itemised with the item codes, so there’s nothing unexpected on the day. Interest-free payment options are available for larger treatment plans, with the total cost and the terms set out before you commit.
Payment plans are available for larger treatment plans, interest-free or low-interest depending on the plan, with the total cost and the terms set out before you commit.
I'M ANXIOUS, WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
Tell us before your appointment or when you arrive, and we’ll work around it. We can go slower, explain each step before it happens, or stop whenever you need to. Happy gas is available here if that would help. Where more is needed, twilight sedation and general anaesthetic are arranged at the clinic with an independent team of specialist anaesthetists, assessed and quoted separately by them. It isn’t suitable for everyone and carries its own risks and considerations.
WILL MY HEALTH FUND COVER IT?
If you have extras cover that includes dental, it may contribute. What you get back depends on your fund, your level of cover, your annual limit and any waiting periods, so it isn’t something we can tell you in advance. We have HICAPS on site, so you can claim on the spot and pay only the difference. For anything larger, we’ll give you an itemised plan with the item codes on it, which you can send to your fund to confirm your rebate before you commit.
