Dental FAQs

Kallangur Dental Surgery is at 1423 Anzac Avenue, Kallangur QLD 4503, in the Moreton Bay region north of Brisbane. There is parking at the back of the clinic. We are open Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 6:00pm, and closed on weekends.

Yes, new patients of all ages are welcome, from Kallangur, North Lakes, Mango Hill, Murrumba Downs, Petrie and the surrounding suburbs. Our new patient offer covers a check-up, clean and X-rays for $199. Please arrive a few minutes early for your first visit to complete a medical history form.

For most people we recommend a check-up and clean at least twice a year. Regular visits let your dentist find decay and gum disease while they are small and simpler to treat. Your dentist may suggest a shorter or longer interval depending on your oral health.

For new patients, our check-up, clean and X-rays is a set $199. For returning patients, the fee depends on what is needed at the visit, and your health fund rebate is taken off on the spot through HICAPS. Members of our preferred funds may pay little or nothing, depending on their cover.

It is hard to give an accurate figure before your dentist has examined you. After your check-up, your dentist will explain your options and give you a written treatment plan with costs before any work begins, so you can check your rebate with your fund.

We accept all health funds. We are a preferred provider for Medibank, HCF, Bupa and Westfund, and every other fund is claimed through HICAPS. We also accept DVA patients and Queensland Health emergency dental vouchers. See our health funds page, or our Bupa Members First page if you are with Bupa.

We accept EFTPOS, credit cards and health fund claims through HICAPS. For larger treatment, we offer no-interest payment plans through humm and Afterpay: Afterpay (interest-free) suits treatment plans under $2,000, and interest-free finance options are available for larger plans from $2,000 to $50,000, subject to eligibility and credit approval. Details are on our payment plans page.

We bulk bill eligible children under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Adults are not usually eligible for bulk billed dental care. Mention the CDBS when you book and we will check your child's eligibility.

Call us on (07) 3886 0933 as early in the day as you can. We aim to see urgent cases on the same day, subject to availability, during clinic hours. Our emergency dentist page has first-aid steps for a knocked-out tooth, swelling or a broken tooth.

Yes. We see children of all ages and try to make early visits relaxed and positive. Our kids dentist page explains what happens at a first visit, and our child's first dental visit article has tips to prepare them.

Yes. Dr Sonia has undertaken further training in caring for anxious patients, and our team will explain each step, go at your pace and stop whenever you need. Tell us when you book so we can allow extra time. You can read more on our dental anxiety page.

X-rays show problems that cannot be seen in the mouth, such as decay between teeth, infection at the root, impacted wisdom teeth and bone loss from gum disease. We use digital X-rays and only take them when your dentist decides they are needed. If you have recent X-rays from another practice, we can request them.

Your general health affects your dental care. Some medications, such as blood thinners, and some conditions change how treatment is planned. Please list all prescription and over-the-counter medicines and any allergies, and update the form each year.

We provide general, cosmetic and implant dentistry for the whole family, including dental implants, Invisalign, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, crowns and bridges, children's dentistry and emergency care. The full list is on our dental treatments page.

You can book online at any time, or call (07) 3886 0933 during clinic hours. We ask for at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or change your appointment.
