Frequently Asked Questions

It is recommended to visit your dentist every six months for a good clean! This helps keep track of your oral health and detect any tooth decay and oral diseases early on.

Dental x-rays are safe for both children and adults! They allow dentists to have a comprehensive assessment of your mouth below the surface of your gums and teeth. They help detect diseases or conditions (e.g. tooth decay, bone loss, fractures, abscesses, cysts, tumours etc.) that may not be visible to the naked eye.

A toothache may be caused by a variety of different causes, the most common being tooth decay. To treat your toothache, we will complete a pain history and conduct a clinical examination to reach a diagnosis and formulate a treatment plan to cater to your needs. We would be happy to see you for an appointment to fix that toothache!

Medicare does not cover dental services for adults. However, a Medicare program for children called the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) covers up to $1000 of general dental services within a two year period for eligible children aged 0-17 years.

We accept all health funds! After your appointment we can process your claim directly to your health fund through our HICAPS machine on site so you don’t have to do it manually.

If your entitlements don’t cover the full cost of your treatment you’ll have to pay the difference, known as ‘the gap’. However, at Leap Son Dental, examinations and cleans are gap-free!
