You get the price before we pick up a single instrument.
Every treatment plan over $300 comes to you as a written, itemised quote with the item numbers your health fund needs. Read it, check it, then decide. No surprises at the front desk.

The quote comes before the drill
Anything over $300 is written up and itemised with ADA codes, so you can send it to your fund and get a number back before you commit to a thing.
An emergency chair is always empty
The 8:00am and 3:30pm slots stay unbooked every weekday. That is not a promise about next week — it is today, if you ring before 9.
The same dentist, every time
Four dentists on staff and no locums on the roster. Whoever you start with is who finishes the work and who you see at your next check-up.
Common fees, published
These are the prices we actually charge. HICAPS is on the desk, so if you are in a fund you claim on the spot and pay the gap only.
New patient exam, clean & 2 x-rays
Full exam, scale and clean, fluoride, and two small x-rays. Normally $310 charged item by item.
Standard check-up & clean
Exam, scale, polish and fluoride in one 45-minute appointment. Includes x-rays every second year.
You'll see the same dentist each visit

Straight answers
The things people ask before they book.
Do you take my health fund?
If your fund is on the HICAPS network — Bupa, Medibank, HCF, nib, Australian Unity, Defence Health, GMHBA, Teachers Health and the rest — you swipe at the desk, the claim goes through on the spot, and you pay the gap only. We are not a preferred provider for any single fund.
What if I haven't been to a dentist in years?
Then you are in the same boat as a fair chunk of our new patients. You get an exam, a clear list of what needs doing, and that list put in order of what actually matters first. No lecture, no guilt trip, and no pressure to book the whole plan on day one.
Do you bulk bill children?
Yes. Eligible kids aged 2 to 17 get up to $1,132 of dental care over two calendar years under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule. We bulk bill it, so there is nothing to pay at the desk.
Can I pay treatment off?
Interest-free payment plans over 3 to 10 months are available on treatment over $600 through Denticare or Zip. Application takes about ten minutes at the front desk and you will know the answer before you leave.
Where do I park?
Two off-street spots down the side lane, signed for patients. Otherwise there is 2P metered parking along Newmarket Rd. The 390 and 391 stop directly out front, and it is a nine-minute walk from QUT Kelvin Grove.
Ring before 9am for a same-day emergency chair
New patients welcome any day we are open. HICAPS is on the desk, so if you are in a fund you claim on the spot and pay the gap only.
