Welcome to Crescent Dental!
At Crescent Dental, we love welcoming new patients to our beautifully-designed, modern practice. Our friendly and professional team are here to assist you in any way required, to make your visit a comfortable, positive and a stress-free experience whilst in our care.
When arriving at our practice, you’ll be warmly greeted by our friendly receptionist before being invited to make yourself comfortable in our relaxing waiting room. Sit back and relax whilst watching our large television screen or make use of our wide selection of magazines. You will be offered a tea and coffee.
Our receptionist team will be here to help answer any of your queries about your visit. We ask that you please arrive at least 10-15 minutes before your appointment, to allow for time to fill out a medical history form. This information will assist our dental team with your important relevant information. Remember to bring your health fund card and MEDICARE card to your visit.
Your First Consultation
Your first appointment at may take around 40 – 50 minutes. During your appointment you will be greeted by your dentist, where all your concerns will be discussed carefully. Your dentist will run through your full history and get an understanding of your dental issues. During this time, a full oral examination will take place to assess your mouth, gums and teeth for any signs of concern. Your dentist may recommend taking x-rays of your teeth/mouth and may take some photographs and moulds of your teeth in some occasions where necessary.
This will be followed by a discussion of your treatment options and full estimates of the cost of treatment. We do offer flexible payment plans for larger treatments to make our services accessible for all patients.
Feeling Nervous?
We understand that you may be feeling nervous or anxious about your first visit. Please make this known to our friendly reception team if you are feeling anxious when booking your appointment.
Remember, we have seen it all before, so our experienced team are here to assist you offering a gentler approach to dentistry, in a fun, stress-free environment. Our dentists will never rush a patient, and ensure they provide plenty of time to fully discuss treatment and address any questions you may have.
All of our rooms have televisions on the ceilings, to allow you to watch your favourite movies or NETFLIX whilst laying back in the dental chair. We also provide relaxing music and aromatherapy in all the rooms.
If you’re feeling nervous, please ask our dentists about the option of using Penthrox(also known as the green whistle) or treatment under general anesthetic (hospital procedure)
Emergency Treatment
If you are in pain, please inform the receptionist when booking your first appointment. We will book you enough time to try to get you out of pain at this first appointment.
Your Child's First Visit
We love treating children. We understand how important your child’s first visit is, so we try to make it a fun experience, like allowing your child to hold the mirror and count their teeth. Children love laying back in the dental chair to watch our cartoons on the kid’s tv channel on the television screen on the ceiling.
