Patient Treatment Enquiries
Q1: Initial Consultation - DENTAL
The first appointment will be a one hour, thorough initial consultation with Dr Nazia. Within this hour Dr Nazia will go through any dental concerns you may have, perform a thorough oral examination and discuss all/if any treatment options that may be suitable for you. During this appointment Dr Nazia can answer any questions you have, and ensure all your dental needs are met.
The cost of the initial consultation is $326, this does include all the x-rays required. If you have private health insurance they may cover a percentage for you, depending on your level of cover.
If you would like a professional dental clean on the same day, the cost is $189. This appointment includes a tooth strengthening and desensitising fluoride treatment. Professional dental cleans are essential to the health of not only your teeth and gums, but your general well-being. We highly recommended all of our patients have a professional dental clean appointment at least twice a year. Most private health funds will cover a portion of this cost but it does depend on your level of cover.

Q3: Consultation if patient not seen in 6+ months
Given it has been over 6 months since your last visit, we would want to ensure that the treatment planned is still right for you and that the rest of your teeth are in good health. For that reason, Dr Nazia will need to see you for an examination to confirm that the quotation is the same. If she notices any other issues, she will discuss them with you. You’re welcome to ask as may questions as you like to ensure you are completely informed before going ahead with treatment.
Q4: Composite Bonding
To assess if you are a good candidate for Composite Veneers, or commonly known as composite bonding, you will first require a consultation appointment with Dr Nazia. At this appointment Dr Nazia will thoroughly assess the health and cosmetic appearance of your teeth, mouth and face and will have a detailed discussion with you to get a good understanding of what you would like to achieve with your smile. After your examination, Dr Nazia will propose all treatment options that are available to you and will discuss them in great detail, as well as answer any questions you may have.
At this appointment a quote can also be provided for your treatment options. The cost of composite bonding starts from $500 – $800 per tooth, a portion of which is covered by most health insurance companies. Options vary depending on the result you would like to achieve.
Q5: Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to change their colour, shape or size. Treatment involves an assessment, planning and fitting process, and the number of appointments and overall timeframe depend on the individual case.
During your consultation, your dentist will assess your teeth and discuss whether veneers are suitable for you. The consultation will cover the proposed treatment, alternatives, expected outcome, costs, potential risks and ongoing maintenance. Veneer treatment may involve removing enamel, which is irreversible. Veneers can chip, crack, stain or detach and may require repair or replacement.
A written treatment quote can be provided before you decide whether to proceed. Please contact the clinic if you have questions or would like to arrange a consultation.
Q6: Lip Fillers
Dermal filler treatment requires an individual assessment to determine whether it is suitable for you. During the consultation, your dentist will discuss the proposed treatment, the products to be used, potential risks and side effects, aftercare and the total cost. A written quote showing the total price will be provided before treatment. Possible side effects include swelling, bruising, tenderness and uneven results. More serious complications may occur, and treatment is not suitable for everyone.
Q7: Botox / Dysport
Anti-wrinkle injections are prescription-only treatments that require an individual assessment. During your consultation, the practitioner will discuss whether treatment is suitable, the expected effects, possible side effects, alternatives, aftercare and costs. Effects vary between patients and wear off over time. A written quote showing the total cost will be provided before treatment. The practitioner will explain the relevant risks and answer your questions before you make a decision.
Q8: Gummy Smile
Treatment options for a gummy smile are discussed after an individual assessment. Treatment is not suitable for everyone, and results and duration vary between patients. Your practitioner will explain the available options, potential risks, aftercare and costs before treatment. A consultation is required to determine whether a treatment may be appropriate for your circumstances.
Q9: Bruxism / Relaxers (Masseter Inj)
Treatment options for teeth grinding and jaw muscle concerns depend on your symptoms and individual circumstances. Your dentist will assess your needs and discuss appropriate options, which may include a night guard or occlusal splint. If injectable treatment is being considered, the practitioner will explain its suitability, potential side effects, risks, expected duration and alternatives. Effects and duration vary between patients. The costs and aftercare requirements will be discussed before you decide whether to proceed.
Q10: Invisalign
Clear aligners are removable appliances used to move teeth according to an individual treatment plan. A consultation is required to assess whether aligners are suitable for your dental needs. Your dentist will discuss the proposed treatment, expected timeframe, costs, limitations and relevant risks.
Q11: Splint / Night Guard
We have a few treatment options that may help you with teeth grinding. The first option is wearing a night guard or occlusal splint at night time. The price range for this option is between $300-$840.
The second option is to have muscle relaxants which are injected into the jaw joints to help decrease the masseter muscle activity. The price range is between $500-$780 for this treatment. Quite often our patients will use the muscle relaxants in conjunction with an occlusal splint or night guard.
The best way to assess which treatment option is right for you is to come in and have a consultation with Dr Nazia where she can examine your symptoms and provide you with options suitable for you. It may also be possible for us to give you a quote from your private health fund on the day of your consult so that you know exactly what you will be getting back from them.
Q12: Whitening
Professional teeth whitening may lighten the shade of natural teeth. Suitability and expected results depend on the starting colour of your teeth and the cause of discolouration. During your consultation, your dentist will assess your teeth and discuss the available whitening options, treatment process, costs and aftercare.
Whitening can cause temporary tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. Results vary between patients, and whitening does not change the colour of crowns, veneers or fillings. Treatment is not suitable for everyone. Your dentist will explain the relevant risks, limitations and aftercare before you decide whether to proceed.
A written quote can be provided before treatment. Any health insurance contribution depends on your individual policy and level of cover, so you should confirm your benefits with your insurer.
