No diagnosis or personal clinical advice

Content on this website is general information for an Australian audience. It is not a diagnosis, treatment plan, prescription, prognosis or substitute for individual dental or medical advice. Symptoms that appear similar can have different causes, risks and treatment options.

Do not start, stop or delay treatment solely because of website content. A dentist needs to consider your history, examination findings, preferences and, where clinically indicated, diagnostic records.

Risks, suitability and results vary

All dental procedures have limitations and potential risks. Whether a treatment is suitable, the likely benefit, recovery, longevity, maintenance and cost vary between patients. No outcome is guaranteed. Before treatment, your practitioner should discuss material risks, expected limitations, alternatives and the option of no treatment where relevant.

Urgent and emergency care

Website forms, email and social media are not monitored continuously and must not be used for urgent clinical advice. For an urgent dental problem during opening hours, call the clinic on (08) 9022 7199.

Accuracy, availability and changes

We take reasonable care to keep information useful and current, but dental evidence, program rules, fees, practitioner availability, health-fund arrangements and external services can change. Information may contain an error or become outdated. Contact the clinic to confirm information relevant to a decision.

Website access may be interrupted, and we do not promise that every function will always be available or free of technical issues.

External links and third-party services

Links and embedded services are provided for convenience. External booking, payment, insurer, government and information services control their own content, availability, privacy and terms. A link does not mean we endorse every statement, product or service on the external site.
