Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you see children at your Shell Cove clinic?

Yes! We offer dentistry for the whole family, including children — and we begin seeing kids at a young age to make sure they have a healthy dental foundation. We also bulk bill eligible children aged 2–17 under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), with up to $1,000 in benefits over two calendar years.

What does the new patient offer include?

New patients receive a gap free check-up and clean with all major health funds, or $200 with no health fund — x-rays included. Terms and conditions apply; just mention the offer when you book.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes — we offer a wide range of options including DentiCare interest-free plans (3–24 months), MediPay (up to 48 months), Zip Pay, Afterpay, humm, SuperCare and National Dental Plan. We also have HICAPS for fast, on-the-spot health fund claims.

Will my root canal hurt?

Techniques have advanced considerably, and our team takes every step to keep you comfortable throughout. Root canal therapy treats infection inside the tooth, which is often the source of significant pain, and allows us to save the tooth. Some swelling or discomfort afterwards can occur and generally settles as you heal.

*Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

I'm not happy with the appearance of my teeth. What are my options?

We offer a full range of cosmetic services — veneers, porcelain crowns, composite bonding, teeth whitening and Invisalign. With Digital Smile Design (DSD) you can even preview your new smile before deciding to proceed.

*Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Should I have my wisdom teeth checked?

Wisdom teeth don't always erupt correctly — they can crowd adjacent teeth and cause pain and discomfort. If your wisdom teeth are causing problems, we invite you to book an exam.

*Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
