What should I expect at my first visit?

New patients complete a medical history form and receive a comprehensive oral examination. Your first dental appointment may include low-radiation digital X-rays when clinically required, discussion of your concerns, and a personalised treatment plan. We explain treatment options clearly so you can make informed decisions about your dental care.

Do you accept new patients who have not seen a dentist in years?

Yes. We welcome new patients and take a supportive, non-judgemental approach. Your appointment can include a thorough exam, any clinically required X-rays and a gentle clean. If there are multiple issues to address, treatment can often be staged to suit your schedule, comfort and budget.

Do you treat anxious or phobic patients?

Yes. We use a calm, step-by-step approach with clear explanations, regular check-ins and breaks where needed. If clinically appropriate, options such as nitrous oxide may be discussed at your visit. Our aim is to make your dental experience feel more comfortable and manageable.

Are your dentists registered in Australia?

Yes. Our dentists are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Our practice is also QIP accredited, reflecting our commitment to recognised standards of safety, sterilisation and patient care.

Our Team of Dentists

Dr Majid and Dr Sheyda lead a caring, experienced team focused on clear communication, gentle care and modern dentistry. From your first contact with reception through to treatment and follow-up care, our aim is to help you feel informed and supported.

Our dental assistants and professional staff work closely with the dentists to keep appointments smooth and comfortable. We use modern dental technology, including digital X-rays and 3D planning where clinically appropriate, to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Modern dental technology such as digital X-rays helps improve accuracy while reducing radiation exposure compared to older methods.

New Patient Information

What happens if I am a new patient?

New patients receive an initial consultation that includes a comprehensive examination, discussion of their dental needs and clear explanation of treatment options. We aim to make the whole process simple, informative and welcoming from the beginning.

Do you explain treatment options clearly?

Yes. We believe patients should understand what is happening, why a treatment is recommended, and what alternatives may exist. Clear explanations are an important part of helping patients make informed decisions with confidence.

Will I need a follow-up appointment?

Sometimes. A follow-up appointment may be recommended to review healing, monitor progress, check comfort after treatment, or plan the next stage of care. This depends on your dental needs and the type of treatment provided.

Payments and Insurance

Will I receive a quote before treatment?

Yes. You will receive a written treatment plan and itemised quote before treatment proceeds. For more complex care, such as Invisalign or dental implants, treatment can often be staged where clinically appropriate.

Do you accept private health funds and HICAPS?

Yes. We accept most major health funds and process claims instantly via HICAPS, making it easier for patients to access their benefits at the time of treatment.

Do you offer payment plans or flexible payment options?

Flexible payment options may be available, including Afterpay and Humm, depending on the treatment and current availability. Our team can guide you on suitable options before treatment begins.

Do dental costs vary depending on insurance?

Yes. Dental costs can vary depending on your level of cover, health fund benefits and whether a particular service is included under your policy. We recommend discussing your cover with our team so we can help you understand likely out-of-pocket costs.

Do you check eligibility for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule?

Yes. We can check eligibility for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) for eligible children and explain any likely gap fees before treatment.

Preventive Dental Care

How often should I have check-ups and cleans?

Most people benefit from a check-up and professional clean every 6 months, although some patients may need more frequent care depending on gum health, decay risk and overall oral health. Seeing a regular dentist for ongoing preventive care helps detect problems early and maintain healthy teeth and gums.

What is included in a check-up and clean?

A check-up and clean usually includes an examination, gum health assessment, professional scale and polish, and tailored home-care advice. X-rays are taken only when clinically indicated. Preventive care is designed to support oral health and reduce the risk of more complex treatment later.

Why is preventive dentistry important?

Preventive dentistry focuses on early detection, maintenance and education. Good oral hygiene, regular dental appointments and tailored advice can help reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease and avoidable treatment needs over time.

Do you offer a check-up and clean package?

Yes. Our Check-Up and Clean Package is designed to help new patients get started with a comprehensive check-up, professional clean and tailored oral health advice. It can be a practical first step for patients who want a clear overview of their dental health.

Oral Health Facts

Regular dental check-ups are important because they help detect issues such as tooth decay and gum disease early, often before symptoms become more obvious.

Good oral hygiene practices, including brushing twice daily and flossing, are important for maintaining long-term oral health. Educating patients about proper oral care techniques is a key part of preventive dentistry and helps support healthier habits over time.

Cosmetic Dentistry and Teeth Whitening

Do you offer professional teeth whitening?

Yes. We offer Philips Zoom teeth whitening with strengths tailored to help minimise sensitivity and support safe, effective whitening. Professional whitening is designed to brighten smiles more predictably than over-the-counter products.

What are porcelain veneers used for?

Porcelain veneers are used to improve the appearance of teeth affected by chips, discolouration, uneven edges or spacing concerns. They are designed to provide a natural-looking enhancement while blending with the surrounding teeth.

Do you offer smile makeovers?

Smile makeover planning may combine treatments such as whitening, veneers, bonding or orthodontic options, depending on your goals and clinical needs. The aim is to create a personalised plan that improves both appearance and confidence.

Do you provide bonding and crowns?

Yes. We provide composite bonding for smaller repairs, veneers for aesthetic enhancement and crowns to restore strength and appearance for damaged teeth. Treatment recommendations depend on the condition of the tooth and your goals.

Restorative and Surgical Treatments

What is root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment removes infection from inside the tooth, disinfects and seals the canals, and is often followed by a crown for long-term strength. It is used to help save a tooth that might otherwise need extraction.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are designed to replace missing teeth with a long-term solution that restores both function and appearance. The implant procedure typically involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as the root for the replacement tooth. Dental implants can also help preserve jawbone health by reducing bone loss associated with missing teeth.

Do you provide wisdom teeth removal?

Yes. Wisdom teeth removal may be recommended when wisdom teeth become impacted, painful, infected or difficult to clean. Treatment may be performed under local anaesthetic, and in some cases sedation or referral pathways may be discussed depending on complexity.

What is recovery like after wisdom teeth removal?

Recovery after wisdom teeth removal usually involves a few days of mild to moderate discomfort, swelling and careful eating. We provide clear aftercare instructions, pain management guidance and follow-up advice to support healing.

Do you restore cracked or broken teeth?

Yes. Cracked or broken teeth can often be restored with bonding, crowns or other restorative treatment depending on the extent of damage. We assess the tooth carefully and explain suitable treatment options clearly.

Orthodontic Options - Invisalign Clear Aligners

What is Invisalign and how does it work?

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually move teeth. Aligners are usually changed every 1 to 2 weeks, allowing controlled tooth movement over time.

Why do people choose Invisalign?

Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, comfortable, nearly invisible plastic, making them a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. They are removable, so you can usually eat, brush and floss more normally during treatment.

Is Invisalign suitable for teens and adults?

Invisalign may be suitable for both adults and teens depending on the bite, spacing and treatment goals. A consultation is needed to assess suitability and explain the expected treatment process.

Emergency Dental Services

Do you offer same-day appointments?

We aim to keep urgent appointments available for severe pain, swelling, broken teeth, trauma and other pressing dental issues. Many dental clinics aim to offer same-day appointments for emergency dental care to help relieve pain quickly, and we encourage patients to call (07) 3523 3333 or book online as early as possible.

What counts as a dental emergency?

Dental emergencies can include severe tooth pain, swelling, infection, dental trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, or cracked and broken teeth. Early assessment can help reduce discomfort and prevent complications.

Should dental emergencies be treated quickly?

Yes. Patients experiencing dental emergencies should seek care promptly, as early treatment can help reduce pain, limit infection risk and prevent more complex problems from developing.

Children’s Dentistry

Do you see children?

Yes. We are a family dentist and see patients of all ages, from children to adults, so families can receive care in one place. Family dentistry includes preventive care, restorative treatment and oral health advice tailored to different ages and stages.

What does family dentistry mean?

Family dentistry provides care for patients of all ages, allowing children and adults to receive treatment in one convenient location. A family dentist typically offers preventive care, routine check-ups and treatments tailored to the needs of both children and adults.

Do you check CDBS eligibility for children?

Yes. We can check eligibility for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule and explain any likely gap fees before treatment. Our aim is to make children’s dental care clear and accessible for families.

How do you help children feel comfortable?

We use a gentle, family-friendly approach with simple explanations, calm pacing and encouragement. Children’s dentistry focuses not only on treatment, but also on helping children build positive habits and a healthy relationship with dental care.
