Comprehensive dental services for your family
Healthy smiles are built on consistent prevention, timely treatment, and practical education. Our team combines experience with a friendly chair-side manner, so appointments feel calm, stress free, and efficient.
General Dental Services – Check-ups, X-Rays & Cleanings
Our general dental services cover comprehensive check-ups, scale-and-clean, and diagnostic X-rays when clinically required. We focus on early detection, gum health, and tailored home-care guidance for children and adults to prevent avoidable dental treatment later.
Emergency Dental Services – Urgent Dental Care When You Need It
Toothache. Broken tooth. Infection. We prioritise same-day emergency dental services where possible and provide clear next steps for pain relief, stabilisation, and follow-up care. If you have a dental emergency, contact us for an emergency appointment.
Affordable Dental Treatments – Quality Care at a Low Cost
Quality dental care shouldn’t blow your budget. Our affordable dental services include fillings, extractions, root canal therapy, dentures, and preventive sealants—delivered to the highest clinical standards at a very low price.
Preventive & Oral Health Advice for All Ages
We provide simple, age-appropriate coaching on brushing, flossing, diet and fluoride, plus reminders to keep check-ups on track. Our goal is stronger long-term oral health for you and your family.
At a glance, our service range includes:
- Preventive care: check-ups, cleans, fluoride, fissure sealants
- Restorative care: fillings, crowns (where available), root canal therapy
- Urgent care: trauma management, pain relief, infection control
- Tooth removal and dentures (with referrals to specialists when needed)
- Education for families and carers to support daily routines
Public & Affordable Dental Services
We help eligible community members access public dental services and low cost private dentistry options. Our team will explain pathways clearly, including what’s covered publicly and what requires private fees.
Who Can Access BHN Dental Services
Community members eligible for public dental care include holders of a Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card and their dependants, as well as children and young people who qualify through national programs such as the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). We also support priority community groups in line with public access criteria.
Concession Card Holders, Children & Priority Clients
Concession card holders and eligible children may receive subsidised or no-gap dental services. Priority access is available for specific groups to ensure urgent needs are addressed promptly. Our friendly team can confirm eligibility for you and you family.
Low-Cost Private Dental Options for Non-Card Holders
Don’t hold a concession card? You can still access affordable dental services at our clinics with fair, transparent fees. We’ll outline options and provide quotes before you proceed, so there are no surprises.
Dental Fees and Payment Information
Before treatment, you’ll receive clear costings with itemised pricing and your expected out-of-pocket amount.
Affordable Dental Costs for Adults and Children
Where public eligibility applies, fees are subsidised according to program rules. For private care, we structure dental services to prioritise comfort, outcomes, and value—starting with the most important treatment first.
Free or Subsidised Services for Eligible Clients
Depending on eligibility (e.g., via Child Dental Benefits Schedule or concession status), some services may be fully covered or partially subsidised. We’ll help you understand what’s included before treatment.
Referred Specialist Fees & Payment Guidelines
If your case requires specialist care (e.g., complex surgery or advanced prosthodontics), we’ll coordinate referrals. Any external fees will be explained clearly at the time of referral.
What to Bring: Medicare & Concession Cards
Please bring your Medicare card and any concession or pensioner cards. If you hold private health insurance, bring your card so we can process rebates where applicable.
