What should I bring to my first dental appointment?s Here

To ensure a smooth visit, here are some essential items you should bring to your first dental appointment:

 

  • Insurance Information — If you have a Health Fund and have dental cover, bring your insurance card. We need a physical card or a digital card.  This will mean we can claim for your treatment on the day.
  • Medical History — If you have any relevant medical history, such as chronic conditions, allergies, or medications you’re taking, please bring a list or relevant documentation. This information helps us provide the safest and most effective care.
  • Previous Dental Records — If you are transitioning from another dental practice, it’s helpful to bring any previous dental records or X-rays. This can provide us with insight into your dental history and any ongoing treatments.

Do you accept my insurance plan?

Yes, we accept all health funds. However, please note that we operate as a private practice, which usually means there may be a gap fee associated with certain services. The good news is that for preventative treatments, such as cleans and X-rays, there will be no gap fee if you are covered by the Commonwealth Bank Health Fund.

What are your payment options?

You can pay with all major credit and debit cards, cash and bank transfers. However, please note that we do not accept American Express.

For those who prefer flexible payment solutions, we are pleased to offer payment plans through TLC Finance. This option is easy to apply for, and the interest rate is based on your credit score — ensuring a fair rate for everyone. TLC Finance offers some of the lowest interest rates for medical treatments in the country, and there are no early payout or exit fees, meaning you can pay off your balance at any time without penalties. Simply fill out your information, and one of the TLC representatives will assist you.

Additionally, we can help you with the application process for Access My Super, enabling you to access your Superannuation funds for your treatment.

How can I manage dental anxiety?

At our practice, we understand that many patients feel anxious about dental procedures, and we are committed to providing a gentle and calming environment to help ease your concerns.

Here are some effective strategies we offer to help manage dental anxiety:

 

  • Calming Environment — Our clinic is designed to be serene and soothing, with a focus on making you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. Our staff is trained to be patient and understanding, ensuring that you feel at ease throughout your appointment.
  • Noise-Cancelling Headphones — To help distract you during your procedure, we offer noise-cancelling headphones. You can listen to your favourite music or watch a movie, allowing you to immerse yourself in a more relaxed state.
  • Happy Gas (Nitrous Oxide) — We provide nitrous oxide, commonly known as “happy gas,” as an option for relaxation. This safe and effective sedative helps you feel calm and comfortable during your treatment while allowing you to remain awake and alert.
  • Sleep Dentistry — For those who experience significant anxiety, we offer sleep dentistry options performed by our qualified medical doctors. This approach allows you to undergo dental procedures while comfortably sedated, ensuring you won’t feel any pain or discomfort during your treatment.

Are dental X-rays safe?

Yes, dental X-rays are generally safe when performed by a qualified professional. Key points include:

 

  • Low Radiation Exposure — The radiation from dental X-rays is very low, much less than the natural background radiation we encounter daily.
  • Modern Technology — Digital X-rays reduce radiation further while providing high-quality images for accurate diagnostics.
  • Clinical Necessity — X-rays are crucial for detecting issues like cavities and bone loss that aren’t visible during regular exams. Dentists recommend them only when necessary.

What’s the difference between a dental crown and a standard filling?

A porcelain crown is a full tooth covering made from durable ceramic material, designed to restore and protect a damaged or weakened tooth while improving its appearance. It is typically used in cases where a tooth is severely decayed or compromised. In contrast, a composite filling is a tooth-coloured resin applied to fill cavities or repair minor damage. Composite fillings are typically used for smaller restorations, while porcelain crowns are suited for longer-lasting restorations.

What is a same-day crown?

A same-day dental crown, also known as a chairside crown or one-visit crown, refers to a dental procedure where a dental crown is created and placed in a single appointment, rather than requiring multiple visits over several weeks. This type of crown is typically made using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. They are advantageous for patients who prefer to minimise the number of dental appointments, as they eliminate the need for temporary crowns and the waiting period for a laboratory-fabricated crown.

What is the process of a same-day crown?

  1. Initial Examination — The dentist examines the tooth needing the crown, prepares the tooth, and takes digital impressions using an intraoral scanner rather than traditional molds. The patient then waits in our private waiting room.
  2. Design — The digital images are used to create a 3D model of the crown, which the dentist designs on a computer. The dentist can adjust the design to ensure a proper fit and aesthetic appearance.
  3. Milling — Once the design is finalised, the information is sent to a milling machine that carves the crown out of a solid block of dental material (such as porcelain or zirconia) in a matter of minutes.
  4. Final Placement — The crown is then permanently bonded to the prepared tooth, completing the procedure in one visit.

What are ten ways to take care of your teeth?

Taking care of your teeth is essential for maintaining good oral health. At Hills Dental Care, we recommend these ten tips:

  1. Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
  2. Floss daily.
  3. Use antibacterial mouthwash.
  4. Limit sugary foods and drinks.
  5. Visit us regularly for cleanings and check-ups.
  6. Drink plenty of water.
  7. Avoid tobacco products.
  8. Use a mouthguard if needed.
  9. Replace your toothbrush every 3–4 months.
  10. Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and dairy.

These practices ensure excellent dental care and a healthy smile.

What are the basics of dental care?

The basics of dental care include:

  1. Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily.
  2. Eating a balanced diet, limiting sugary foods.
  3. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings.

Following these fundamentals helps maintain strong dental health. By incorporating these habits into your daily routine, you can prevent common dental issues like cavities and gum disease, ensuring a healthy smile for years to come.
