Professional-Grade Clean
Our hygienists remove tartar and plaque that daily brushing misses, leaving your teeth cleaner and your gums healthier.

FAQs
Common questions
answered.
01How often should I have a dental check-up?
We recommend most patients visit every six months. However, your dentist may suggest a different schedule depending on your individual risk factors and oral health history.
02Does a check-up hurt?
A routine examination and clean is generally very comfortable. If you have any sensitivity or anxiety, let us know beforehand and we will take extra care to keep you at ease throughout.
03What is involved in a general dental exam?
We examine your teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, and soft tissues. We also take digital X-rays when required and screen for early signs of oral cancer. The visit concludes with a clean and polish.
04Do you bulk bill for general dentistry?
We bulk bill eligible children under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) and eligible veterans. We also accept HICAPS rebates from private health funds.
05What happens if you find a problem during my exam?
We explain any findings clearly and discuss all available treatment options with you before proceeding. You are always in control of your care.
