    I think there was an initial consult that might have been $300. The main treatment was $1200 split into two visits and I just paid half each visit.

    Please keep in mind that these are likely top end prices given that it’s in the CBD. You may find better pricing out of the CBD. I am also vigilant about my checkups so have returned with a bit more frequency.

    You may find that you may fare really well with a good dental scale and clean. So don’t jump to any conclusions until you get the full picture.

    My perio costs are not general dental costs so they don’t do teeth per se. Fillings etc. are done through your dentist. So like I said, just wait to see what it is. There are always options and payment plans and choice of who you want to go to.

      Thanks mate, you’ve no idea how helpful that is. I’ll start making some phone calls and go from there

        All the best! Dentists and related services are not pleasant, but once you start framing it as self-maintenance, you’ll never look back.
