What happens if I require any extra treatment after my check up?

If after your regular dental check up with us at Southside Dental Group you require any extra treatment your Dentist will compose a treatment plan for you. This plan will outline any other treatment you require in order of urgency, with the cost included as well. Your dentist will go through this plan with you before you leave so that you understand the procedure, and to clear up any questions you may have.

What happens if I need a full mouth x-ray (OPG) after my check up?

If you require a full mouth x-ray as part of your treatment with us your dentist will write up a referral for you. You can then take this referral to one of the x-ray centres in your local area to have the x-ray taken. You will either be given copies of those x-rays to take back to your dentist or they will be forwarded to us at Southside Dental Group ready for your next appointment. During your next appointment your dentist will then be able to go through these x-rays with you and to provide you with a personalised treatment plan.

Do I need to bring anything to the check up?

At Southside Dental Group we do not require you to bring anything with you to your check up. If you have private health insurance you can bring your health insurance card with you, and through our HICAPS machine your health insurer will be able to pay for some of your dental cost upfront. This means that you do not need to worry about claiming back any of your treatment at a later date.
