To see our dental students, you will be booked for an admission appointment, which may require an OPG X-ray (which is bulk billed for green Medicare card holders). While you wait at reception, you will be asked to complete a registration form which includes your medical history details, consent for treatment and consent for financial policy.
During the admission appointment our students will perform a comprehensive examination to review your overall health and determine your initial dental needs, and whether the clinic will be able to provide your required dental services. They may also be required to take some X-rays as part of the examination process.
You also have the option to book an appointment within our private clinic where you would be treated by registered dentists directly.
Our dental clinics are equipped with high-end technologies and our practitioners use the latest evidence-based practices and techniques during treatment. Our 150-seat patient lounge is the perfect place to relax while waiting for your appointment and the dental clinic itself houses over 110 cutting-edge dental chairs that treat over 1,000 patients per week.
Our on-site radiology area is operated by an external provider (Qscan) that provides a range of radiology services to assist with your dental treatment needs. We also have our own commercial prosthetic dental and clinical skills laboratory and a dedicated area for dental researchers.
