Family dental appointments
Dental Care for Every Stage of Life
Your dental needs change significantly throughout life. Having one trusted practice that knows your history, and your family's history, means better, more personalised care at every age.
Babies & Toddlers (0–3 years)
We recommend the first dental visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth. Happy Visits introduce little ones to the dentist in a pressure-free, playful way, building positive associations from the very start.
School-Age Children (4–12 years)
Regular check-ups, cleans, fissure sealants and fluoride treatments protect developing teeth. We're also preferred providers under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, covering up to $1,095 in eligible treatments for qualifying children.
Teenagers (13–18 years)
Wisdom teeth monitoring, orthodontic assessment, mouthguards for sport and guidance on diet and hygiene during a high-risk period for decay. We help teenagers take ownership of their dental health.
Adults (18–60 years)
Preventive check-ups and cleans, restorative treatments, cosmetic options and ongoing monitoring of gum health. We're focused on keeping your teeth for life through smart maintenance and early intervention.
Seniors (60+ years)
Dry mouth management, crown and bridge maintenance, implant care, denture assessment and monitoring of oral cancer risk. We understand the specific challenges of senior dental health and provide sensitive, respectful care.
Why Choose a Family Dentist
One Relationship for Everyone
No juggling multiple practices. Your whole family sees a team that knows each person individually.
Shared Appointment Blocks
We often accommodate family appointments together, reducing the number of separate trips to the dentist.
Genetic Risk Monitoring
Dental conditions often run in families. Knowing your history helps us monitor children for the same risks parents face.
Consistent Records
Lifelong records mean no repeated X-rays, no repeated history-taking, and better clinical decision-making.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you bulk bill for children?
We accept the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), which provides up to $1,095 in Medicare-funded dental treatment for eligible children aged 2–17. Contact us to check your child's eligibility.
Can we book the whole family in on the same day?
Yes, where possible we try to accommodate family bookings together. Let us know when you call and we'll do our best to schedule everyone on the same day.
When should my child first see the dentist?
By age one or within six months of their first tooth appearing. The earlier we start, the better the long-term outcome, and Happy Visits make the first experience positive.
What if my child is anxious about the dentist?
We have a lot of experience with anxious young patients. We never rush or force treatment, and we use our Happy Visit approach to let children explore the environment at their own pace.
Do you see adults with dental anxiety too?
Absolutely. We welcome patients of all ages who've had difficult dental experiences. We'll always discuss treatment before starting and work at a pace that's comfortable for you. Sleep dentistry (sedation) is also available if needed.
