OUR PRACTICE
At Drummoyne Dental Practice, we are committed to treating all patients with a warm and friendly manner so you can feel as comfortable as possible as we help you attain your ideal smile. Our practice provides comfortable, modern surroundings for your dental visit. During treatment you can watch television programs or listen to your favourite music. Pain free treatment is a priority for us, so if you are nervous or anxious about dental treatment, please let us know so that we can take extra measures to ensure that you are comfortable during your appointment. Nitrous Oxide sedation (or "happy gas") is available and Intravenous Sedation (or "Twilight Sedation") can be arranged for those who prefer it. We are also a child friendly office and we enjoy introducing good dental habits to children from an early age! Easy car parking is available in the Drummoyne Council carpark at the rear of the building, there are one hour OR two hour parking spaces available so please take note of which type of spot you find so that you can time your visit accordingly. Wheelchair access and amenities are provided.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe in personalised dental care, tailored to your individual requirements, not only caring for your teeth and gums, but also caring about your general health and wellbeing. Our aim is to create and maintain sustainable healthy mouths for life, allowing you to feel comfortable and confident. This is achieved by our commitment to high quality, long lasting dental solutions when required and using preventive solutions for long-term stability.
"Quality care for every individual"
We have a strong focus on regular preventive care for all our patients and believe prevention of dental disease is smarter and more economical than treatment. There is a growing body of evidence highlighting the relationship between oral disease and systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis and sleep apnoea. Evidence suggests that improving oral health can actually lower your risk of some systemic diseases. We believe this increases the importance of maintaining optimum oral health, as it's not just for your teeth and gums, but for the benefit of your whole body. Our dentists are committed to regular continuing education to ensure that you are provided with the very best treatment available.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
At Drummoyne Dental Practice, we pride ourselves on providing our patients with the best treatment options for their individual, unique situation. It is important to us that you are informed of costs prior to treatment and the dentist will discuss this with you during the initial consultation appointment. We explain all treatment options and fee estimates in the initial treatment planning phase before proceeding with any treatment. Our goal at Drummoyne Dental Practice is to provide quality care for every individual. Treatment plan fees are valid for 3 months from the initial examination or consultation appointment. Please contact us if you have any questions about your treatment plan and the payments methods offered.
