5. Can I spread the cost of dental treatment? Yes, we offer flexible payment plans via TLC (Total Lifestyle Credit). Repayments can be as low as $60/week. We also accept all major health funds and use HICAPS for on-the-spot claims.
6. Does Oxford St Dental see emergency patients? Yes, we reserve time for dental emergencies such as toothaches, broken teeth, or lost fillings. Call us and we’ll prioritise same-day care whenever possible.
7. How long does a smile makeover take? It depends on the complexity: composite veneers or whitening might be done in a few visits, whereas porcelain veneers or implant-based makeovers take more planning and multiple stages over weeks.
8. Does veneer treatment hurt? Most veneer procedures are done under local anaesthesia, making them painless. If you feel anxious, we can arrange sedation with an anaesthetist.
9. Do you accept health fund rebates? Yes — we accept all major health funds. With our HICAPS terminal, you can claim your rebate instantly at the time of payment.
10. What services does Oxford St Dental offer? We offer general, cosmetic, and implant dentistry, including composite & porcelain veneers, Digital Smile Design, full mouth rehabilitations, implants, crowns, clear aligners, whitening, and more.
11. How long do porcelain veneers last? Porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years or more with good care. At Oxford St Dental, we use premium materials and recommend regular check-ups to extend their lifespan.
12. Are veneers reversible? Porcelain veneers are not reversible because a small layer of enamel is removed. Composite veneers are less invasive and may be reversible depending on the case.
13. Can I get veneers if I grind my teeth? Yes, but we will assess your bite first. For patients who grind, we often recommend a protective night guard or stronger material choice to prevent veneer damage.
14. Am I a good candidate for dental implants? Most adults with good oral and general health are suitable. We assess jawbone quality, gum health, and overall medical history to ensure implants are safe and effective for you.
15. How long does it take to recover after dental implant surgery? Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 days, though full healing of the bone (osseointegration) takes several months before the final crown is fitted.
16. What happens if I don’t replace a missing tooth? Missing teeth can cause shifting of nearby teeth, bite changes, and bone loss in the jaw. Replacing teeth early with implants or bridges helps maintain function and facial support.
17. What is included in a check-up and clean? Our check-up includes a comprehensive examination, scale and polish, fluoride treatment, and x-rays if needed. This helps prevent decay, gum disease, and future dental problems.
