How can we help you?
We value patient education because it helps ensure our patients have the information they need to make good decisions about their oral health. We will never rush you when you are here at our Maroubra Junction, NSW dental surgery, so we welcome your enquiries about any aspect of your oral health. There are many questions we frequently hear from our patients; for your convenience, we’ve included some of them here.
Don’t hesitate to ask questions, no matter how seemingly unimportant. Chances are, if you have the question, someone else has asked it as well. Our friendly team loves nothing more than educating patients about maintaining happy, healthy smiles.
Orthodontics
At Maroubra Family Dental, we believe you are never too old for a straighter smile. What most people don’t realise is that having straight teeth is about more than just having a pleasing smile. Teeth that are properly aligned are often easier to take care of because they are easier to brush and floss thoroughly.
We offer traditional wire-and-bracket metal braces and clear ceramic braces, which can resolve most orthodontic problems on children, teens and adults. We assess children at a young age—usually around seven—to determine whether an interceptive device today can stave off more complex orthodontic treatment later.
We understand, however, that many adults are not interested in a mouth full of metal when they are attending board meetings or job interview. To that end, we offer Invisalign clear braces, which fit in well with most adult lifestyles. Whether you missed out on braces when you were younger, or if you have experienced orthodontic relapse as an adult, Invisalign provides a discreet yet effective way to straighten teeth.
Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic aligners that gently move the teeth into the desired position. The clear plastic aligners are barely noticeable, so people don’t have to feel self-conscious while they are straightening their teeth.
Here at Maroubra Family Dental, we believe everyone deserves quality dentistry. We want to make good oral health accessible to everyone in Maroubra Junction, NSW and the surrounding communities. Taking good care of your teeth and gums is one of the best things you can do for your overall well-being. Preventive appointments, including regular check-ups and cleans, are a crucial part of that.
Visiting the dentist every six months for check-ups and cleans might seem like a budgeting burden, but the truth is that it can save you in the long run because preventive care now often means you won’t need more invasive treatments later. We offer numerous payment options so you can fit regular dental care into your family’s budget.
Payment Options
We accept a variety of payments for your portion of your treatment total:
- Most major credit cards including American Express
- EFTPOS and Debit cards
Insurance and Government Scheme
For all our private healthfund members, we offer HICAPS to avoid the hassle of making a claim yourself. Please bring your healthfund cards to your appointments as we can claim your healthfund card benefits at the surgery via HICAPS.
We also take part in the Child Dental Benefits Schedule government schema CDBS, and we participate in the Medicare Teen Dental Plan.
Please feel free to contact one of our friendly team members should you have any further questions.
