Fees
Dentistry does not receive Medicare or Government subsidisation (except for CDBS). However private dental practices such as ours need to comply with numerous standards that also apply to hospitals, such as infection control, x-ray licensing, education and training, in addition to fixed overheads such as materials, utilities, staff and rent.
Our fees are structured to ensure high quality of care at as reasonable cost as possible. Fees are current as at the time of the last update (December 2024).
Medicare Child Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS) patients are accepted and bulk-billed. Please advise the receptionist when making the appointment and on your arrival. Please arrive 10 minutes earlier than scheduled to complete forms.

Digitisation, analysis of the photographic and radiographic records, diagnosis and treatment planning (approximately 60-90 minutes) is inclusive. A follow-up 30 minute appointment is also included in this fee to outline treatment options, process, estimated time in treatment and cost. Complex orthodontic cases (e.g. surgical treatment) will require referral to a specialist. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment ranges from $6500-$8500 including retainers. Comprehensive treatment with Invisalign® ranges from $7500-$10,000 depending on complexity and suitability (including retainers). If you have general queries about whether orthodontic treatment is right for you, please book in for a check-up and clean, and we would be happy to answer any initial queries you may have. |
