1What does the no gap dental check-up and clean include?
Our no gap check-up and clean at Knoxfield Dental Care includes a comprehensive oral examination, professional scale and clean (polish), fluoride treatment, unlimited X-rays, an OPG full mouth X-ray if required, and a personalised treatment plan — all at no cost to patients with eligible private health insurance.
2How much does a dental check-up and clean cost without private health insurance?
Patients without private health insurance can access the same comprehensive check-up and clean package at Knoxfield Dental Care for $189. This includes the full exam, scale and clean, fluoride treatment, unlimited X-rays and a treatment plan — the same standard of care offered to insured patients.
3Do I need private health insurance to get a no gap check-up and clean at Knoxfield Dental Care?
No. While the no gap (zero out-of-pocket) offer applies to patients with eligible private health insurance, we offer the identical package to uninsured patients for $189 so that everyone in our community has access to quality preventive dental care.
4Which private health funds are accepted for the no gap dental offer?
Knoxfield Dental Care is a preferred provider with major Australian health funds. The no gap offer applies to patients whose health insurance includes general dental extras cover. We recommend calling us on (03) 9763 3339 or checking with your fund before booking to confirm your specific coverage.
5How often should I get a dental check-up and clean?
Dentists recommend a routine check-up and clean at least every six months. Regular six-monthly visits help detect tooth decay, gum disease and other issues early — before they progress into more serious and expensive problems. We encourage all patients to make preventive care a priority.
6What is an OPG X-ray and why is it included?
An OPG (orthopantomogram) is a full-mouth panoramic X-ray that captures all your teeth, jaw bones and surrounding structures in a single image. It helps detect issues not visible during a standard examination, such as impacted wisdom teeth, bone loss or cysts. It is included in our check-up package where clinically needed.
7Is a no gap dental check-up and clean suitable for children?
Yes. Regular check-ups and cleans are important for children's oral health. Children under 18 may also be eligible for bulk-billed dental care under the government's Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Please contact us on (03) 9763 3339 to confirm eligibility and available options for your child.
