Things have been changing here at Central Dental, we have been very busy here, and we needed to expand. We have a new clinic up and running with a new knee break chair, this makes it easier for people to get in and out of. We have had the new room up and running for a few months and now we have some new staff to fill it.

Maxim Stevenson and Victoria Ryan have joined us this year, and are off to a flying start. Max is a new graduate dentist, and Victoria is our Oral Health Therapist.

With Victoria we are going to be focusing more on routine  hygiene visits.  and we would like to explain the changes.

Your first appointment with Victoria will be an hour long appointment, with an exam at the end with either Max or Amelia.  Victoria will do a very gentle thorough clean, examine and record your current gum condition and take xrays to check for bone loss around teeth due to gum disease. One of our dentists will then come through for a dental exam, checking for any cavities, abscesses or failing fillings, they will also review your xrays and take any additional xrays they require. This appointment is $193. The increase comes from spending that extra time with Victoria, who spends a lot more time giving your teeth a thorough clean as well as the dentist doing the exam. We have provided Victoria with the tools to do the cleans in the gentlest way possible.

You can still book an exam in with the dentist only, for $145 this is a shorter appointment as not much time is spent on the clean, we still will take xrays. If regular hygiene visits are required these will be booked in with Victoria. Regular hygienist visits are $100 for a 30 minute clean without radiographs.
