F.A.Q.


Frequently Asked Questions

What Kind of people have cosmetic dental treatments?

People like you. Cosmetic dentistry is no longer just for models and film stars. With revolutionary new minimally invasive techniques and painless treatments, cosmetic dentistry is now readily accessible for almost anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of their teeth.

Will it be obvious I have had cosmetic dental treatment?

This depends on how radical the changes are but usually people who know you well will notice the improvement to your smile. Others will notice how good you now look but often find it hard to tell why. And those who have never met you before will just think you have great teeth!

How can I be confident I am choosing the right cosmetic Dentist?

Our dentists are fully qualified with over 15 years of experience and are members of the Australian Dental Association.

We can design any changes to your smile in advance utilising techniques such as before and after models of your teeth, instant mock ups and computer imaging. We can also show you photographic portfolios of actual treatments provided.

Only when you are fully confident with your dentist and the cosmetic dental solutions offered will you choose to go ahead with treatment.

Do I need to inform my existing dentist of the treatment being carried out?

You are not legally required to inform your current dentist but you may wish to out of courtesy. Clients are welcome either to continue to visit us or return to their current dentist for their routine dental care.

Is it expensive?

This varies depending on the services provided and the number of teeth treated. The costs reflect the value of the time taken and the skill of the dentist as well as the equipment and materials used. Our dental practice is totally committed to quality.

Fees are discussed openly and clients are given a treatment plan with a full breakdown before you decide to do any treatment.
If you have private dental health Insurance you will often be able to reduce your out of pocket costs.

How can I reduce the cost of Dental Treatment even if I don't have private health insurance?

If your total out of pocket costs after any health insurance claims exceeds $1500 a 20% rebate is allowed on the excess payable upon lodgment of your Australian tax return. This applies to all dental and medical expenses for yourself or any dependants (children).

If, for example, the cost of treatment is $4500 a tax rebate of $600 will reduce your total fee to $3900 even if you don't have any private health insurance.

Calculation: 20% X ($4500--$1500) = $600

This means you will effectively get a $600 discount!

We advise you confirm these details with your accountant or the Australian Tax Office in case the current conditions change. Read below about saving another 5% off by paying in advance.

Will the treatment Hurt?

We endeavour to make the whole experience as relaxed and stress free as possible. Modern techniques mean that even if you do require a local anaesthetic, this can be undertaken with the minimum discomfort.

Do I have to take special care or change eating habits after treatment is completed?

Porcelain veneers and crowns don't stain and are designed to take similar wear as your natural teeth. But you should never use your teeth as tools - such as cracking nuts or opening bottles. Also biting into very hard foods - such as crushing ice or chewing hard boiled lollies should always be avoided. Clients should follow a normal oral hygiene routine and healthy diet to maximise longevity of their own teeth and any new restorations alike.

How many appointments do I need?

This depends on what treatment is required after the initial consultation. As a guide however, some smile improvements, including porcelain veneers and crowns, can usually be completed in two to three weeks with only two or three appointments.

How long will my treatment last?

The longevity of your new smile is often related to how well you look after it.
An after-care program will be recommended to promote the health of your teeth and gums. As guidance, in the case of veneers, crowns or bridges we would expect them to last 15 years. In fact with correct maintenance, regular check-ups, healthy diet and avoiding abnormal dental behaviors such as crushing ice or hard boiled lollies with your teeth, it is likely your dental treatment will last even longer.
