New to Sandgate Bayside Dental? Your first visit includes everything we need to properly assess your oral health — a comprehensive examination, professional scale and polish, fluoride treatment, two diagnostic x-rays where clinically indicated, and a written treatment plan — for a total of $187. Booked individually, these services are valued at approximately $330 on our standard fee schedule*.

There is no obligation to proceed with any treatment identified in your plan. Many new patients need nothing beyond their check-up and clean — and if further care is recommended, you’ll have the findings, options and costs in writing so you can decide in your own time. Your visit is with Dr Vikram Bansal BDS MDS, Dr Shelly Bansal or Dr Emma Marshall — the same consistent team you’ll see at every future visit.

What’s Included in Your $187 First Visit

Comprehensive check-up — a full examination of your teeth, gums, existing dental work and soft tissues, including an oral cancer screen.

Scale & polish — professional removal of plaque and calculus, followed by polishing to remove surface staining.

Fluoride treatment — a concentrated fluoride application to strengthen enamel and help protect against decay.

Two x-rays — diagnostic bitewing x-rays, taken where clinically indicated, to check between teeth and below the gum line for issues an examination can’t see.

Written treatment plan — a clear, itemised plan explaining what we found, your options and the costs, before any further treatment is decided.

Why We Start With a Comprehensive Visit

A quick look and a clean tells us very little about the long-term health of your mouth. A comprehensive first visit — examination, x-rays where indicated, and a proper conversation about your history and goals — means small problems are found while they’re still small, and you’re never surprised by a diagnosis or a bill later on. That approach is why families from Sandgate and the surrounding bayside suburbs have stayed with our practice since 1992, often across generations.

What Happens at Your First Appointment

1. We listen first. Your dentist will ask about your dental history, any concerns, and anything you’d like to change about your smile. If you’re nervous about dental visits, tell us — we adjust our pace, and sedation options are available for future treatment if ever needed.

2. Comprehensive examination and x-rays. We assess every tooth, your gums and soft tissues, and take two bitewing x-rays where clinically indicated so nothing is missed between the teeth or under old fillings.

3. Scale, polish and fluoride. A thorough professional clean, stain removal and a protective fluoride application.

4. Your plan, explained in plain language. We walk you through what we found — with your x-rays on screen — and give you a written treatment plan with itemised costs. No jargon, no pressure.

Bringing the Kids? They May Be Covered at No Cost

Before you book this offer for your children, check whether they’re eligible for the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Eligible children aged 0–17 can receive up to $1,158 of dental care over two calendar years, and we bulk bill covered services — meaning their check-up, clean and x-rays may cost you nothing at all. Call us on 3269 2443 and our team can check your child’s eligibility before the appointment.

Haven’t Seen a Dentist in Years?

This offer is designed exactly for that. There’s no judgement here — whether it’s been six months or six years, the comprehensive first visit gives us a complete, honest picture so we can prioritise what matters and leave the rest. You’ll leave knowing exactly where you stand, with nothing decided for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for the $187 New Patient Offer?

Any patient attending Sandgate Bayside Dental for the first time. It’s available once per patient and can’t be combined with other offers. Children eligible for the Medicare CDBS may be bulk billed instead, which may mean no out-of-pocket cost.

Is $187 really the full price on the day?

Yes. The comprehensive check-up, scale and polish, fluoride treatment, two x-rays (where clinically indicated) and your written treatment plan are all included for $187, with no hidden extras. Any further treatment is quoted separately in your plan, and nothing proceeds without your agreement.

Can I use my health fund with this offer?

We accept all major health funds via HICAPS. Because fund rules on promotional pricing vary, please mention your fund when booking and our team will explain how your rebate applies.

How long does the first appointment take?

Allow around 45–60 minutes. This gives us time for a thorough examination, your clean, and an unhurried discussion of your treatment plan.

I haven’t seen a dentist in years — is this offer suitable for me?

Yes, it’s designed exactly for that. There’s no judgement here; the comprehensive first visit gives us a complete, honest picture so we can prioritise what matters and leave the rest.

When can I book?

We’re open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month, 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. You can book online any time or call 3269 2443.
