What's recommended follows your own clinical situation, and the options get set out plainly before anything is booked. New patients can arrange a first appointment at any time.

Treatments Available at the Practice

Care spans preventive, restorative and urgent needs:

General Dental

General Dentistry

The routine appointment most patients come in for twice a year. It combines a professional clean, which lifts tartar from the gumline and the surfaces a toothbrush misses, with an examination of the teeth, gums, tongue and soft tissues.

Dental cleaning

Childrens Dentistry

Appointments shaped for younger patients and the way their teeth develop. Alongside examinations and preventive treatment, visits track how the adult teeth are coming through and whether there's enough room for them, which is often where crowding is first noticed.

Dental Fillings

The standard repair for a tooth affected by decay or a small fracture. The damaged part is cleared away and the space rebuilt with filling material, restoring the shape of the tooth so it holds up to normal biting.

Gums Treatment

Emergency Dental

Time set aside for problems that can't wait for a scheduled slot. That includes a tooth knocked out or fractured, a crown or filling that has come away, facial swelling, or pain that has kept you up overnight.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants

A fixed option for replacing a missing tooth. A titanium post is placed into the jaw and left to integrate with the bone before a replacement tooth is fitted on top, so treatment runs across several appointments with healing time between them.

Dental Bridge

Dental Crowns and Bridges

Restorations for teeth too damaged for a filling, or gaps where a tooth has already gone. A crown fits over what remains of the tooth to hold it together and take the force of chewing, while a bridge spans the space using the teeth on either side for support.

Details Worth Knowing Before You Book

A few practical points ahead of your first visit:

  • HICAPS is available for on-the-spot claiming, which means no paperwork to post and no delay between the appointment and the rebate.
  • Spreading treatment costs is possible through a payment plan, and the applicable terms and conditions are outlined before you commit.
  • Slots are kept free for trauma, swelling and severe toothache rather than every appointment being booked out in advance.
  • The numbers are put in front of you at the planning stage so the treatment plan can be weighed up properly.
  • Group bookings for a household are usually possible, so one trip covers everyone who needs to be seen.

Setting Your Check-Up Schedule

Six months is the interval that suits most adults, and it's what your dentist will typically recommend. It isn't fixed, though. Patients with a history of gum disease, dry mouth caused by medication, or a clenching habit are often reviewed sooner, while stable gums and no recent decay may mean visits can be spread further apart.

The interval matters because dental problems build without obvious signs. Decay starts in the contact points between teeth, out of sight and out of reach of a brush, and gum disease can cause bone loss before it becomes uncomfortable. Treatment suitability and results vary between individuals, and your dentist can advise what may be appropriate for your circumstances.

Travelling South Into the City Centre

The practice is on Wellington Street in the city centre, roughly five to ten minutes south. Most patients follow the East Tamar Highway down through Invermay and across the Charles Street Bridge into the CBD grid. From the eastern side of the suburb, the Mowbray Link connects onto the same highway run. Regular bus services cover the corridor for anyone not driving, and parking is available a short walk from the practice.
