Question 1

Do you participate in the Medicare dental scheme for children?

Accepted Answer

We provide visits to the dentist that are relaxing and fun for kids.
 
The CDBS is a scheme run by Medicare that provides eligible children up to $1,000 over 2 calendar years.

We offer instant CDBS bulk billing on the spot making it easier than ever for eligible children to receive the dental care they need without any out-of-pocket costs.

CDBS is available for children and teens aged 2–17 who meet the Medicare eligibility requirements. Not sure if your child qualifies?

Question 5

What does your practice do to limit your impact on the environment?

Accepted Answer

At Berry Dental Studio we do not place silver amalgam fillings. This is to minimise the release of mercury into the environment.

Our dental chairs are from Finland and incorporate amalgam filters to reduce the release of Mercury into the environment. This means when an old filling is replaced, the amalgam does not end up down the drain. 
We use the highest quality materials and equipment that lasts as long as possible. 
We limit the use of single-use plastics. We have achieved this by swapping out disposable items for versions that can be sterilised and reused.

Question 6

Do you have after hours appointments?

Accepted Answer
