What To Expect at Your Kelvin Grove Emergency Visit

Your comfort comes first. We start by easing the pain, then take a proper look at what has caused the problem, using an x-ray where it helps. We will explain what we have found in plain language, lay out the choices, and make sure you understand the cost before we begin. Wherever possible we treat you on the spot so you are not left waiting for relief.

Fees, health funds & payment options

Ours is a private billing practice, which means we discuss the fees with you openly before anything happens. We would rather you feel informed and comfortable than surprised by a bill.

• The type of problem
• Any diagnostic tests required (e.g. X-rays)
• Whether treatment can be completed at the same appointment

For patients with private cover, we provide the item numbers you need to make a claim, and we are open to discussing payment options so care stays within reach. Ask us and we will point you in the right direction.

Frequently asked questions

How long can I wait with a toothache?

If you have persistent or severe toothache, you should seek care as soon as possible. Pain that doesn’t settle can indicate infection or nerve damage and usually won’t resolve on its own.

Do I need to see a dentist if the pain goes away?

Yes. Pain that comes and goes can still indicate an underlying problem. It’s best to have the tooth assessed to prevent a more serious emergency later.

Can you see me today?

We keep time aside for emergencies and will do our best to see you on the same day. Please call us early in the day if possible.

Do you accept health funds?

Yes, we can provide item numbers and receipts for your health fund and discuss estimates before treatment is carried out.
