Where we work
Common questions
- How much is a first appointment?
A new-patient examination, scale and clean, fluoride and two x-rays is $199. If you are coming in because something hurts, the emergency examination is $145 and includes an x-ray and a written plan. Any treatment beyond that is quoted before it starts — we do not begin work you have not seen a price for.
- Which health funds do you accept, and can I claim on the spot?
All Australian funds, through HICAPS at the front desk: you pay the gap rather than the full amount, and there is no claim form for you to lodge. We also hold no-gap preventive arrangements with several of the larger funds, which usually covers a twice-yearly check-up and clean in full. Bring your card, or your fund number if the card is on your phone.
- What happens at my first visit?
Forty-five minutes, most of it spent looking and talking. We take a short medical and dental history, examine your teeth, gums and soft tissues, take two small x-rays, and clean and polish. You then see what we found on the screen and get a written plan with priorities and costs — what needs doing now, what can be watched, and what is genuinely optional.
- Is there parking near the practice?
Yes. There is metered one-hour parking directly on Bridge Road and two-hour parking on the residential side streets behind us, which is usually easier mid-morning. East Richmond station is a four-minute walk, and the 48 and 75 trams stop outside the door. If you are being sedated or have had an extraction, arrange a lift rather than driving yourself home.
