Penrith Dentist

Once we have welcomed you and made sure you are comfortable, we will guide you through completing a brief medical history form. Our dentist will conduct a new patient examination.  This involves a thorough review of your teeth, gums, chewing muscles, and any lumps or bumps in your mouth.

We will often take x-rays to discover any decay between your teeth, or old leaking fillings that may need replacement. Your dentist will also give you a thorough explanation of what’s happening with each tooth.  At the end of your visit, we give you a treatment plan of findings and pricing so you will know exactly what your treatment costs are – no nasty surprises!

Every Australian health fund is welcome at Inform Dental. Simply bring your health fund card to your appointment and we’ll help you claim back straight away with our HICAPS facility.

The Commonwealth Government has introduced the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, which provides financial support for basic dental services to kids aged between 2 and 17 years.

The CDBS provides up to $1,000 of benefits per child, over a two calendar year period, for examinations, x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canals and extractions. A means test applies.  Please Contact Medicare regarding your child’s eligibility

Having regular dental checkups with Inform Dental can guard against painful conditions and expensive surprises. With regular visits our Penrith dentists can pick up early problems or progressing decay, and recommend a general treatment rather than resorting to major dental work further down the line. If you have good oral hygiene and maintain an excellent at-home cleaning routine, we recommend visiting us every six to twelve months.

At Inform Dental we recommend that children first visit our Penrith dentists when their baby teeth start to come through. This should be before their second birthday. Even if your baby’s teeth are yet to come through, you can still care for their oral health by wiping their gums with a clean, wet cloth.
