Fees Terms and Conditions

• Dental fee examples are a guide only. Individual treatment costs may differ and should be discussed with the treating dentist.
• Most dental treatments need a limited consultation and X-ray fees. For example, a tooth extraction for a new patient includes charges for an X-ray and a limited consultation, in addition to the extraction fee.
• You may need fewer or additional dental treatments, which may increase or decrease the total fees.
• If extensive treatment is needed, you receive a written quote so you can check with your health fund about rebates and make an informed decision.

Check-up and Clean (New Patient / Returning After More Than Two Years)

Available for your first check-up and clean with us, and if it has been more than two years since your last clean at the clinic. Adults are capped at $250 including an OPG where clinically appropriate. Children are capped at $150 without an OPG, or $200 with an OPG where clinically appropriate. Eligible health fund benefits may leave no gap to pay.

Includes:

• Comprehensive dental check-up
• Clean and polish
• Digital X-rays (if you need them)
• OPG (full mouth X-ray), where clinically appropriate
• Fluoride treatment (if you need it)
• Personalised treatment plan
• Photo assessment

An OPG is taken where clinically appropriate. Your dentist will assess whether you need one.

Check-up and Clean (Return Visit)

Available to existing patients returning for a clean within two years of their last clean with us. Gap free or capped at $175 for adults and $150 for children. If it has been more than two years, the new patient clean caps apply.

Includes:

• Comprehensive dental check-up
• Clean and polish
• Fluoride treatment (if you need it)
• Personalised treatment plan (if you need it)
• X-rays (if required)

Gap free requires an eligible health fund with dental cover and available limits. Compare the benefit with your visit's adult or child cap, not always $250. If the benefit meets that cap, you pay nothing out of pocket. If it is lower, you pay the difference. For an adult first visit only, a $230 benefit against the $250 cap leaves $20 to pay. Fees can change with your dental health.

These fees are starting prices. Final costs may vary based on individual treatment needs and complexity.

• All treatment is subject to clinical assessment and the dentist's recommendation.
• For cosmetic and restorative procedures, final suitability and treatment requirements are assessed during consultation.
