Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: Most adults and children benefit from a six-monthly visit, but high-risk patients (e.g. smokers, diabetics, orthodontic wearers) may need more frequent reviews.
Answer: Yes, most Australian extras policies pay all or most of the cost twice a year. We offer instant HICAPS claims and flexible payment options.
Answer: Not at all. Ultrasonic scalers vibrate calculus loose without scratching healthy tooth structure, safer than DIY whitening kits or over-brushing.
Answer: You can eat right away, though avoiding highly coloured foods (coffee, beetroot, red wine) for two hours helps maintain your freshly polished smile, or consider professional cosmetic teeth whitening if you’d like an even brighter result.

Every mouth is unique. At the end of your visit, we’ll create an easy-to-follow action list that may include:
Switching to a high-fluoride toothpaste or electric toothbrush
Demonstrating correct floss / interdental brush technique
Diet tweaks (e.g. limiting sports drinks) to reduce acid attacks
Optional fissure sealants, mouthguards or night splints
We’ll email your plan so you can refer back any time, and SMS-remind you when your next six-monthly maintenance is due.
What Makes a “Clean” Truly Clean? (The Science Bit)
Plaque begins to harden into calculus within 48 hours. Once mineralised, brushing alone can’t shift it. Left unchecked, these rock-hard deposits trap bacteria that release toxins, inflaming gums and eroding bone. Our ultrasonic scalers vibrate up to 30 000 times per second, shattering calculus while an integrated water jet cools and flushes debris. A final professional polish then removes residual biofilm and surface stains. The result? Healthier gums, brighter teeth, and that fresh-from-the-dentist feeling you just can’t get at home.
