New Patients at Sanctuary Lakes Family Dental

mom and girl in waiting roomAt Sanctuary Lakes Family Dental, we want to take all the stress out of visiting the dentist – that’s why we let you know exactly what to expect.

As a true family practice, we welcome families with young children, and qualifying families may receive up to $1,132 of FREE dental care under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule.

*Pricing applies only to eligible patients.

Your First Visit

Patients typically begin care with a checkup and clean appointment – we offer a new patient special of $149 for the checkup, scale and clean (GAP-free for private health funds).

You can plan on being with us for 30-45 minutes for this first appointment.

We’ll have you fill in the new patient forms, and for children using the CDBS, we’ll have you complete the Medicare form as well.

Your dentist will do a thorough examination and let you know if they find any issues that need to be addressed, such as cavities, gum disease or other problems. They will do a gentle scale and cleaning, followed by a fluoride treatment. We also recommend X-rays at this visit.

What to Expect When Getting Other Services

For patients requiring other dental services, such as cosmetic or restorative services, we always begin with a consultation and thorough examination to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your situation. If panoramic X-rays or MRIs are required, we will refer you out for those. We will always give you a cost estimate before beginning any treatment plan.
