Fee guide

Children's check-up and clean

$99 for ages 2 to 9.

A check-up and clean for children aged 2 to 9 is $99, or no gap with most health funds. Under 2s are seen free, and eligible children are bulk billed under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule.

Fee guide

What the fee covers

An exam of your child's teeth and gums, a clean, X-rays if they are needed and simple tips for brushing at home. Most children see one of our oral health therapists, who work alongside our dentists.

Returning check-ups for children are $149, or no gap with most health funds. Under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, eligible children aged 0 to 17 can have basic dental care bulk billed up to the government cap.

Why we opened Lumi

We wanted a practice where people feel comfortable walking in. You shouldn't feel rushed in the chair, and you shouldn't have to guess what something will cost.

Lumi is independently owned, and every dentist and oral health therapist here is AHPRA registered. If it has been years since your last check-up, that's fine. We'll have a look, tell you what we see and give you a written quote before anything is done.

Your clinician may be a dentist or an oral health therapist (OHT). Our OHTs are university-trained and AHPRA registered, and look after check-ups, X-rays, cleans, gum care and children's teeth. They work alongside our dentists from the same plan, and if you need a filling, crown or other treatment, we book you in with a dentist.

Questions

Common questions

Is my child eligible for CDBS?

Children aged 0 to 17 can be eligible if the family receives certain government payments, such as Family Tax Benefit Part A. Bring your child's Medicare card and we can check.

When should my child first see a dentist?

When the first teeth come through, or by their first birthday. The first visit is mostly exploratory: your child can sit in the chair, meet the team and get a feel for the clinic, and we take a look at their teeth.

What about teenagers?

Teens aged 10 to 18 are $149 for a first check-up and $189 for returning check-ups, or no gap with most health funds. Eligible teens aged up to 17 can also be bulk billed under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule.

Is this the final price?

It is a guide. We check your teeth first and give you a written quote before any treatment starts, so you know what you will pay.

When are you open?

Monday to Wednesday 9am to 6pm, Thursday 9am to 9pm, Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 5pm. Sundays are by appointment.
