What you get

What is included in the $120 consultation?

One fee, whoever you see, and it covers the whole assessment:

  • An examination of your teeth, gums, bite and jaw
  • Any X-rays needed on the day: an OPG, bitewings or periapicals
  • Intraoral photos, so you can see what the clinician sees
  • Gum screening
  • An oral cancer check
  • A written plan with item numbers for anything that needs doing

Elsewhere, an OPG is commonly charged separately, often around $125, with individual X-rays around $49 each. At Berala Dental the X-rays needed on the day are part of the $120. Only CBCT and CT scans are quoted separately.

Why people come in

Why do people book a consultation?

Most consultations at Berala Dental start with one of these. Sometimes the answer is that nothing needs treating, and that is a useful answer too.

New to the practice

Switching dentists or starting fresh, and wanting to know where things stand.

A second opinion

A large quote from elsewhere, and a wish to see it checked before committing.

A tooth that hurts

Pain, sensitivity, a chip or a sore gum that needs a diagnosis.

Years since the last visit

No judgement, just a clear picture and a plan at your pace.

Wondering what is possible

Whitening, bonding or other changes, and what is realistic for your teeth.

Implant planning

A separate $300 implant consultation with Dr Belal Aly, including a CBCT 3D scan.

What it costs

How much is a dental consultation at Berala Dental?

Every figure assumes your health fund contributes nothing. The fee does not change with who you see.

Consultation

$120

Examination, X-rays needed on the day, photos, gum screening and a written plan.

Check-up, X-rays and clean

$250

For a routine visit: the check-up and X-rays with a clean and fluoride.

Implant consultation

$300

A separate appointment with Dr Belal Aly, with an OPG and a CBCT 3D scan.

Charged separately, stated plainly:
  • CBCT and CT scans, when a general consultation needs one: quoted before they are taken.
  • Treatment itself, which is set out on the written plan with item numbers before anything starts.

Step by step

What happens at a consultation at Berala Dental?

  1. Your concernsWhy you are here, your dental history and what you want to get out of the visit.
  2. The examinationTeeth, gums, bite and jaw, looking for the things you cannot see yourself.
  3. X-rays and photosOnly the ones needed, all included in the $120.
  4. Findings in plain EnglishWhat was found, shown on the X-ray and photos. If nothing needs treating, you are told that too.
  5. OptionsEach option with its fee, including the more conservative ones.
  6. A written planItem numbers and fees in writing, to take away. Nothing is booked unless you want it to be.

Second opinions

Can I get a second opinion on another dentist’s quote?

Yes. Implants, root canals, crowns and full-mouth work affect your health and your budget for years, and wanting another view before committing is sensible, not a slight on anyone.

A second opinion at Berala Dental is a $120 consultation: your own examination and X-rays, and a written plan with item numbers you can put next to the quote you already hold. If the plan you have is right, you are told so. For a second opinion on an implant quote, it is the $300 implant consultation with Dr Belal Aly. Berala Dental does not comment on another clinician’s judgement.

Bring the quote and any X-rays with you.

Before you come

What should you bring to a consultation?

  • Recent X-rays or scans from another clinic, if you have them; your previous dentist can email them
  • Any treatment plan or quote you want a second opinion on
  • Your health fund card, so claims can be made through HICAPS
  • A list of your current medications, including supplements
  • Your questions, written down

Recent X-rays from elsewhere can sometimes mean fewer new ones are needed.
