Sound familiar?

Whatever brought you here, we've heard it before.

Tap the one that sounds most like you — no judgement here.

You're far from the only one.

There's no lecture. Dr Zhao gives you a calm, honest picture of where things stand, then a plan that starts with what actually matters — with prices written down before anything is booked. Many people worry before a first visit. We explain everything first.

Gentle isn't a slogan here — it's how the visit is run.

Nothing happens before it's explained. You're numb before anything that could be uncomfortable. Raise a hand and we stop — every time. We go at your pace, in plain English or Mandarin, and if the first visit is just a look and a chat, that's fine too.

Sixty unhurried minutes. Prices in writing before anything else.

Full examination, scale & clean, polish and fluoride in one visit — capped at $280, and nothing to pay when your health fund extras rebate covers it. Weekday evenings until 6pm and Saturdays until 3pm, so you don't need the day off.

Call us — we keep time in the book for exactly this.

Tell the front desk what's going on and we'll get you the earliest suitable appointment, often the same day (subject to availability). If it's after hours, book the first slot online and we'll prioritise you when we open.

Whichever one you tapped, the first visit is the same: sit down, talk first, and nothing happens without your say-so.

Your first visit

Sixty minutes. No surprises.

1

Sit down and talk first

What's bothering you, what you're nervous about, what you want out of the visit — before anyone picks up an instrument.

2

A full, careful examination

Teeth, gums and existing dental work, with an oral cancer screen and x-rays only where there's a clinical reason for them.

3

Scale, clean, polish, fluoride

Plaque and tartar professionally removed, a smooth polish, and a fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel — all in the same visit.

4

A clear plan — prices first

Healthy? See you in six months. Something needs attention? You leave with options and exact prices in writing. Nothing is booked without your okay.

New patients

Two ways to start. One price cap.

Your check-up & clean is capped at $280 for new patients, with any clinically required X-rays included — and nothing at all when your health fund covers it. Claimed on the spot with HICAPS.

*Check-up & clean (60 min) fee capped at $280, current at September 2026. You pay nothing out of pocket when your health fund's general dental (extras) rebate, claimed on the day via HICAPS, covers the $280 fee; if your rebate is less than $280 you pay only the difference. Without extras cover the fee is $280. New-patient check-up (30 min, examination only) $200. X-rays, if clinically required, are included in both new-patient visits.

Straight answers

Check-up & clean, asked and answered

How much does a check-up and clean cost?
As a new patient, your first check-up & clean is a full 60-minute visit capped at $280, X-rays included if clinically required. We claim your health fund rebate on the spot through HICAPS: if your extras cover pays $280 or more, you pay nothing out of pocket; if it pays less, you only cover the difference up to $280. Without a fund it's a flat $280. Prefer a shorter first visit? A 30-minute check-up (examination only) is $200.
How soon can I get an appointment?
Most new patients are seen within the week, and we keep time in the book for anyone in pain — subject to availability. Book online below to see live times, or call (02) 9068 1388 and we'll find the earliest slot that suits, including Saturdays.
Does a scale and clean hurt?
For most people it's comfortable — you feel scraping and vibration rather than pain. Sensitive gums, or years between visits? Tell us: we work gently, pace the visit to you, and can use local anaesthetic so you're comfortable.
It's been years since I saw a dentist. Will I be judged?
No. You get a calm assessment of where things stand and a prioritised plan with prices, starting with what actually matters. No lectures.
Can I claim on my health fund?
Yes — we accept all Australian health funds and process claims on the spot with HICAPS. Your check-up & clean is capped at $280; your rebate comes straight off that, and policies that cover $280 or more leave you nothing to pay. Check-up and clean items sit under general dental (extras) cover, which most policies include.
Do you see children?
Yes — children's dentistry is part of everyday practice here, and first visits are kept short, gentle and pressure-free. Book online or call and tell us your child's age; we'll allow the right time.
How often should I have a check-up and clean?
Every six months for most adults — the interval at which tartar and early decay get caught before they become expensive. If your gums need closer attention, Dr Zhao may recommend more frequent cleans and will explain why.
