CALL (02) 4325 5825
A full examination, professional clean and a written record of what we find, at the Digital Dental Implant Institute in Gosford. You leave knowing the condition of your teeth and gums, and what — if anything — needs attention.
$229 is the fee for this appointment for patients new to the practice. Any further treatment identified at the examination is discussed with you and quoted separately in writing before it is booked. Health fund rebates vary — check with your fund.

By submitting this form you consent to us contacting you about your enquiry. Your details are used only for that purpose. An enquiry is not a treatment plan — findings, options and costs are discussed at your appointment with a registered dentist.
Our team will be in touch shortly. If it's urgent, call us on (02) 4325 5825.
A comprehensive examination is a systematic check of every tooth, the gums and the supporting bone, your bite, and the soft tissues of the mouth, lips and tongue. Small X-rays are taken where clinically indicated, because decay between teeth and bone loss around them are not visible to the eye.
The clean that follows removes plaque and hardened calculus that brushing cannot, above and just below the gum line, followed by a polish and fluoride application.
You then get a plain-language summary of what we found. If something needs treating, you are told what it is, what the options are — including monitoring it rather than treating it now — and what each would cost, in writing.
Allow around 45 to 60 minutes. If you have heavy calculus or active gum disease, a single clean may not be enough — we will explain why and what further care would involve rather than rushing it.
Your medical and dental history, any medications, and what prompted the visit. Tell us about anxiety — it changes how we pace the appointment.
Teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues are checked, with small X-rays where clinically indicated. Radiographs are only taken when there is a clinical reason.
Plaque and calculus are removed, the teeth are polished and fluoride applied. Some sensitivity during or after a clean is normal, particularly if it has been a while.
A written summary, home-care advice specific to what we saw, and a recall interval based on your risk — not a fixed six months for everyone.
We would rather you knew the boundaries of the $229 before you arrive. Nothing outside it is carried out without your agreement and a written quote.
Even a routine appointment has things you should expect. These are explained at the visit, and you can decline any part of it.
We can process your health fund claim on the spot where your fund allows it, so you only pay any gap. Rebates differ between funds and levels of cover, so check yours before the appointment if the amount matters to you.
Children may be eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule. Ask our reception team and we will check your eligibility.
