Dental treatment prices in Toowoomba
We believe you should know what dental care costs before you're in the chair. Below are our fees for the treatments we provide, with health fund item codes listed so you can call your fund and confirm your rebate before your visit.
How our pricing works
Before we can quote: an accurate quote needs an examination first — so before any treatment we'll see you for either a check-up or a standard consultation. That's what lets us quote your tooth, not an average tooth.
Before we treat: you'll always receive a written quote and a personalised treatment plan before any treatment begins. No treatment ever starts before you've seen the cost and agreed to it.

Check-ups & preventive care
Prevention is the cheapest dentistry you'll ever buy — so we've capped the price of it. That's the most you'll pay for the visit, regardless of how long it takes.

Children's dentistry
Children aged 1–17 have their check and clean capped at $130. If your child is eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, their visits are bulk billed with Medicare — no out-of-pocket cost for covered services, up to the scheme's two-year cap. Call us on 07 4635 1444 with your child's Medicare number and we'll check eligibility in a minute or two.
For children who can't manage a full appointment yet, we split it into four shorter visits and let your child work through them at their own pace. There's no passing or failing, and you can go back a step any time.
Health fund item codes for these treatments
Treatment at a fixing visit, and happy gas, are coded individually on your written quote — ask us and we'll confirm the codes so you can check your rebate before the appointment.
| Treatment | Health fund item codes |
|---|---|
| Hello visit or Counting visit (10 minutes) | 013 |
| Check and clean visit — examination, clean and fluoride | 012 114 121 |
| Treatment | Price |
|---|---|
| Hello visit — 10 minutes, sitting in the chair, nothing in the mouth · eligible children bulk billed with Medicare CDBS | $45 |
| Counting visit — 10 minutes, mirror and count, no cleaning · eligible children bulk billed with Medicare CDBS | $45 |
| Check and clean visit — 30 minutes, examination, clean and fluoride, ages 1–17 · eligible children bulk billed with Medicare CDBS | $130 |
| Fixing visit — 30–40 minutes, numbing and treatment · eligible children bulk billed with Medicare CDBS | Quoted before treatment |
| Happy gas (nitrous oxide) — per appointment, after a Hello visit | $97 |
Happy gas needs a Hello visit first. Happy gas only works if a child can wear a small mask over their nose, breathe through their nose and stay reasonably still — the gas doesn't create those things. So we can't tell you over the phone whether it will suit your child, and we won't book it as a first appointment. Every child does a Hello visit first, so we can see how they go with the chair and the mask.
More on how the four visits work on our children's dentistry page, including how we adapt them for autistic and neurodivergent kids.

Orthodontics — clear aligners
Thinking about aligners? The initial 30-minute aligner consultation is complimentary. It's a chance to look at your teeth, take a few photos of your teeth and smile as part of the assessment, talk through whether aligners suit what you're after, and get a clear idea of the cost before you commit to anything. It isn't a full dental examination — if you also need a check-up, we'll book that separately.
Health fund item codes for these treatments
| Treatment | Health fund item codes |
|---|---|
| Clear aligner treatment (complete course, including retainers) | 825 ×2 |
| Clear retainers — one set, upper and lower | 811 ×2 |
| Treatment | Price |
|---|---|
| Aligner consultation (30 minutes) — photos, assessment and discussion of your options | Complimentary |

| Clear retainers — one set, upper and lower · same price for everyone, whether or not you had your aligners or braces with us | $300 |
Bruxism & splints
Grinding or clenching wears teeth down over time. A custom-made occlusal splint is designed to take that wear instead of your enamel, and to ease the load on your jaw muscles. One price covers the whole process, whichever design suits you.
Health fund item codes for these treatments
| Treatment | Health fund item codes |
|---|---|
| Occlusal splint for teeth grinding (Michigan or cushion) | 965 |
| Treatment | Price |
|---|---|
| Occlusal splint (Michigan or cushion) — consultation, digital scan, fabrication and fitting | $648 |
Comfort & sedation
Happy gas — nitrous oxide — is available if you'd like help staying relaxed during treatment. You breathe it through a small nosepiece, it takes effect within a few minutes, and it clears quickly once we turn it off. You stay awake and able to talk to us throughout. It doesn't suit everyone, so we go through your medical history first and talk it through with you. More on how we look after nervous patients.
For children, happy gas can't be booked as a first appointment. Your child needs a Hello visit first so we can see whether the mask suits them.
Health fund item codes for these treatments
Sedation is coded individually on your written quote — ask us and we'll confirm the code so you can check your rebate with your fund before your appointment.
| Treatment | Price |
|---|---|
| Happy gas (nitrous oxide) — per appointment | $97 |
