Our Fees
Our Mission
Our mission is to make quality dental care accessible and affordable to people of Illawarra. We believe that good oral health is vital for a healthy and happy life. We are aware that poor oral health can lead to major health problems, so we are making the cost of visiting the dentist affordable so that everyone has access to regular check-ups and treatments.
We are not a corporation or health fund owned practice. It is owned by your local, West Dapto Dentist, so you can be assured that we care about your oral health.
Our Promise
- Safety: We use state of the art equipment, digital X-ray and track the sterilised instruments.
- Quality: You can be assured that the dentist who provides you the treatment is well informed and up to date with continued professional development. We use Premium Dental Materials sourced mainly from Henry Schein Halas and Dentsply, and only work with 100% Australian owned laboratories for veneers, crown & bridge, Implants and dentures.
- Affordability: When you receive dental treatment from us, you save up to 15 – 40 % compared to the NSW average dental fees published by ADA based on their annual fees survey. We have a best price guarantee. If you have a written quote from another provider, come see us for a Gap free/Free second opinion and we will beat that quote by a minimum of 10% Margin (except for dental implants)! We have special offers on preventive treatments thus making the dental care affordable for everyone in the local area.
