  • Checking your gums and teeth
  • Checking your bite
  • Checking your jaw joint function
  • Oral cancer screening
  • Charting your teeth and shade
  • Taking X-rays

Q. Do you process health fund claims in your practice?

A. For your convenience we can claim your health fund rebate on the spot so all you have to take care of on the day is the gap payment.

The amount of rebate paid by your health fund will depend on the level of cover that you have taken out with your health insurance company.

Q. What kind of payment methods do you accept?

A. We accept a wide range of payment methods including cash, EFTPOS, VISA, Mastercard. We do not surcharge merchant fee with any credit card payments.

Q. How often should I go for my check up and clean?

A. We recommend that you have your check up and clean every six months to allow early detection of dental decay and gum disease which means treatment is simple and less costly.

At Macarthur Dental, our Continuing Care Program makes it easier for our patients to return for their regular 6 monthly visit.

A. It is our practice protocol to send a courtesy confirmation between 24 to 48 hours via SMS and/or phone call prior to your appointment. However, we may at times not be able to reach you.
