Let us help answer your dental questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why dental x-rays are necessary?
At Mindarie Quinns Dental Centre, our dentists assess the need for x-rays based on various factors, including your symptoms, age, and dental history. If you maintain good oral health and have a low rate of tooth decay, you may require fewer x-rays.
We prioritise your safety and minimise radiation exposure by using digital x-rays, which come with minimal risk. Your dentist will only recommend x-rays when they believe the benefits outweigh any potential risks. If you have had x-rays taken at another dental practice, it’s helpful to obtain copies to share with us. Similarly, if you choose to visit another dental practice after receiving x-rays at Mindarie Quinns Dental Centre, we are happy to forward them to your new dentist.
Why do I need to fill in a medical history form?
At Mindarie Quinns Dental Centre, we kindly request you to fill in a medical history form. This is a standard practice in our dental clinic and serves as a vital tool for our dental team to understand your overall health, medical conditions, medications, allergies, and other relevant health information.
Providing us with your medical history helps our dentists to be fully aware of any conditions or medications that may impact your oral health or influence the dental treatment we provide. Your safety and well-being are our top priorities, and having accurate and comprehensive information allows us to tailor our dental care to meet your specific needs.
Rest assured that all the information you provide is kept confidential and used solely for your dental treatment and care. We appreciate your cooperation in completing the medical history form, as it enables us to deliver the highest standard of dental care and ensure the best possible outcomes for your oral health.
How much will the treatments cost?
Assessing the cost of dental treatment is challenging until the dentist has evaluated the patient’s specific needs. While we can provide prices over the phone for routine check-ups, consultations, and x-rays, the actual cost of treatment will be determined after a thorough examination by the dentist.
During your check-up or consultation visit, the dentist will develop a treatment plan if further dental work is necessary. This plan will closely estimate the expected procedures. However, it’s essential to understand that adjustments may be required once treatment begins. For instance, while decay can be identified from an x-ray, its full extent may only be apparent once the dentist starts treating the tooth.
Our priority is to provide accurate treatment plans and transparent pricing. Rest assured that our dental team will communicate any necessary adjustments and keep you informed throughout your dental journey. Your oral health and satisfaction are our ultimate goals, and we strive to deliver the best possible dental care tailored to your individual needs.
