Payment Information

At The Tooth Doctor our appointments are tailored to the requirement of each individual. Our new patient fees for examination/consultation and dental hygiene are listed below. All other fees are quoted prior to any treatment undertaken. We have HICAPS onsite, so you can bring your private health insurance card to access your benefit immediately.

Examination/consultation fees

An adult patient initial comprehensive examination fee is $87.

A child/adolescent initial comprehensive examination fee is $70.

Intra oral radiographs (x-rays) if required are an additional $45 each.

Once the dentist has assessed your treatment needs, you will then be provided a tailored, personalised plan that will indicate whether several treatments are required and an estimate of how much each visit will cost. Due to the complicated nature of dental treatments, it is impossible to give an accurate figure of the total costs prior to treatment starting. We will however, endeavour to provide as accurate a figure as possible.

Adult review (1 hour duration) $200 - This includes a periodic oral examination, removal of calculus, a prophylaxis (polishing) and application of a remineralising agent.

Adolescent review (30-45 minutes duration) $165 - Includes a periodic oral examination, removal of calculus, a prophylaxis(polishing) and application of a remineralising agent.

At The Tooth Doctor, we require full payment on the day. Any concerns regarding payment or any questions please contact our reception staff.

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CBDS)
