What our patients say
That’s the whole list, unedited and unselected. We don’t pick the flattering ones and we don’t take any down, because a rating that only shows the good days isn’t worth reading.

In pain today?
Call us. We keep same-day appointments free every weekday for people in pain.
- Toothache
- Broken tooth
- Knocked-out tooth
- Lost filling
- Swelling
- Open until 6pm today
- An emergency exam is $95, and we tell you the cost of any treatment before we start.
Knocked out an adult tooth? Do this first
Pick the tooth up by the top, not the root. If you can, push it straight back into the socket and bite gently on a clean cloth. If you can’t, keep it in milk or in your own saliva, never in water. Then call us straight away. The sooner it goes back in, the better the chance of saving it.
What it costs, before you come in
Here is what most people pay, so nothing at the front desk comes as a surprise.
$245
New patient check-up, clean and x-rays
With health fund extras, most people pay a gap of $40 to $90.
- HICAPS on the spot. Tap your health fund card at the desk and pay only the gap.
- Preferred provider for Bupa and Medibank. If you are with either, your gap is smaller.
- Kids can be bulk-billed. Eligible children are covered by the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, which is around $1,100 of dental work over two calendar years at no cost to you.
- Payment plans. Treatment over $500 can be spread over weekly or fortnightly payments through DentiCare, with no interest.

If you have been putting it off
Nervous about the dentist? You’re not alone
About one in six adults avoids the dentist because they are anxious about it. Tell us when you book and we will plan the visit around it.
Your first visit is talking and looking
We talk about what has been going on, then take a look and explain what we find. You do not have to decide anything on the day, and nothing gets treated unless you agree to it.
We go at your pace
Raise your hand and we stop, every time. Plenty of our patients book a longer appointment so nothing has to be rushed.
We focus on your comfort
We offer happy gas, numbing gel before any injection, and we can refer you for sleep dentistry if that suits you better.
Book online in about a minute
Pick a time that suits you. We will text you to confirm.
