Last updated: 2 July 2026
This Disclaimer applies to the website dacv.contentauthority.com.au (the “Website”), operated by Dentists @ Canning Vale, Unit 8, 3 South Street, Canning Vale WA 6155 (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Practice”). It expands on the summary disclaimer shown in our website footer and should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By using this Website, you agree to the terms of this Disclaimer.
1. General Information Only
All content on this Website, including text, images, videos, blog articles, FAQs and service pages, is provided for general patient education purposes only. It is not, and must not be relied upon as, personalised dental, medical or health advice, diagnosis or treatment. Nothing on this Website is intended to replace an in-person consultation, examination or clinical assessment by a qualified, AHPRA-registered dental practitioner.
2. No Dentist-Patient Relationship Is Created
Browsing this Website, submitting an enquiry form, or booking an appointment online does not, by itself, create a dentist-patient relationship. That relationship only commences once you have attended a consultation with one of our practitioners and we have accepted you as a patient of the Practice.
3. Treatment Suitability Requires Individual Assessment
Any treatment referred to on this Website, including general, cosmetic, restorative, orthodontic, implant, sedation or emergency dentistry, may not be suitable for every person. Suitability depends on your oral health, medical history, dental concerns, treatment goals and clinical examination findings. A consultation with one of our dentists is required before we can confirm whether a particular treatment is appropriate for you, along with its risks, benefits, alternatives and expected costs.
4. No Guarantee of Outcomes, Individual Results May Vary
Dentistry is not an exact science. Individual results, treatment timeframes, healing times and recovery experiences vary from person to person. No dental, cosmetic, orthodontic, implant or surgical treatment referred to on this Website, or described by our team in consultations, marketing material or correspondence, is, or should be interpreted as, a guarantee, warranty or promise of a specific outcome.
5. Risks of Dental, Surgical and Invasive Procedures
Where this Website refers to dental implant treatment, wisdom teeth removal, tooth extractions, bone grafting, gum procedures, root canal treatment, implant-supported restorations, therapeutic muscle injections (including the use of botulinum toxin for bruxism management or sleep dentistry) or other surgical or invasive procedures, you should understand that these treatments carry inherent risks, possible complications and recovery considerations, as with any surgical or invasive procedure. Before any such treatment proceeds, our dentists will explain the relevant benefits, risks, alternatives and costs, and you are entitled to, and encouraged to, seek a second opinion from another appropriately qualified health practitioner before consenting to treatment.
6. Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dental treatments referred to on this Website, including veneers, teeth whitening, bonding, smile makeovers, gum contouring and clear aligner therapy, may not be suitable for every patient. Suitability depends on your oral health, tooth structure, gum health, bite function, existing restorations and personal treatment goals. In line with the Dental Board of Australia’s advertising guidelines, no cosmetic dental outcome is promised or guaranteed.
7. Before-and-After Photos and Smile Gallery
Where before-and-after images, treatment examples, illustrations or smile-related imagery appear on this Website, including in our Smile Gallery – they are provided for general information purposes only and depict the results achieved for a specific individual in specific circumstances. Photographs are used with the informed consent of the patient shown and are not altered to misrepresent the outcome achieved. These images should not be interpreted as a guarantee, promise or representation that you, or any other patient, will achieve the same or a similar outcome.
8. Patient Reviews and Testimonials
Under section 133 of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law, it is unlawful to advertise a regulated health service using a testimonial or purported testimonial about the clinical aspects of that service (including a specific symptom, diagnosis, treatment or clinical outcome). Any reviews, ratings or comments about the Practice that may appear on this Website or on third-party platforms (such as Google) are intended to reflect a patient’s experience of our customer service, communication and care environment only. They are not, and must not be read as, a representation, warranty or guarantee about the clinical outcome you or any other person will achieve.
9. Practitioner Registration and Scope of Practice
All clinicians at Dentists @ Canning Vale are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Current registration details are published on our Practitioner Licences page and can be independently verified on the AHPRA Register of Practitioners. Unless expressly stated, a reference to a treatment area on this Website does not imply that a practitioner holds specialist registration in that area. Where specialist-level care is clinically indicated, we will refer you to an appropriately qualified specialist.
10. Fees, Pricing and Health Fund Rebates
Fees shown on our Dental Treatment Fees page or elsewhere on this Website are general guides only unless expressly stated otherwise. Actual costs depend on your individual treatment needs, complexity, materials, laboratory fees, imaging and any additional procedures required, and will be confirmed in a personalised treatment plan and quote following consultation. Private health fund rebates and provider arrangements referred to on this Website (including HICAPS, Medibank, BUPA, HCF, HBF, NIB, ahm, CBHS, GMHBA, Qantas Assure, DVA Dental Care, the Child Dental Benefits Schedule and the National Dental Plan) vary by fund, policy, level of cover and waiting periods. Please contact your health fund directly to confirm your entitlements before proceeding with treatment.
11. Dental and Oral Care Products
Where this Website refers to or displays third-party oral care products (including on our Colgate Oral Care Products page), this information is provided for general convenience and education only. It is not an endorsement, prescription or personal recommendation for your specific circumstances, and does not replace advice from your treating dentist. Any therapeutic goods referred to (for example, therapeutic toothpaste, mouth rinses or whitening products) should be used strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and any applicable Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approvals or listings. We do not warrant the claims made by third-party manufacturers about their products.
12. Dental and Medical Emergencies
If you are experiencing severe pain, facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, dental trauma, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or any symptom that may require urgent attention, please contact our clinic immediately on (08) 9256 2588, or attend your nearest hospital emergency department, or call 000 in a life-threatening emergency. Do not rely on this Website for guidance in a medical or dental emergency.
13. Accuracy and Currency of Information
We make reasonable efforts to keep the information on this Website accurate, complete and up to date. However, dental techniques, treatment options, pricing, provider arrangements and practitioner availability may change over time, and we do not warrant that all content is current or error-free. Please contact our team via our Contact Us page to confirm current information before making decisions about your dental care.
14. Third-Party Links and External Content
