“Do I need a referral to see you?”
One of our most common questions — and the answer is:
👉 Not always!

You can book directly if you’re:
✔️ In pain
✔️ Need your wisdom teeth assessed
✔️ Exploring dental implants
✔️ After specialist advice

However, there are benefits to having a referral from your dentist, GP or specialist:
✅ Medicare rebates may apply to your consultation and certain medical procedures (e.g. biopsies, bone grafting, oral pathology)
✅ Your referring provider can share relevant X-rays or notes with us in advance
✅ It helps us work together for the best possible outcome
