Child Dental Filling (Under 18)
Little Smiles, Big Care!
Service Description
Give your child the gift of a healthy, pain-free smile with our gentle and effective pediatric dental filling procedure. Designed with young patients in mind, this treatment restores teeth affected by cavities while ensuring comfort and care. Comprehensive Dental Exam Requirement: A comprehensive dental exam, including a full set of 2D dental X-rays, is required before any treatment commences to ensure a safe and tailored approach. If your child has not had a comprehensive exam within the last 6 months, one will be performed prior to the filling to assess their oral health and confirm treatment needs. Filling Procedure: If the filling has already been planned for following a recent exam, we’ll proceed with the treatment. Our skilled team uses child-safe materials to carefully remove decay and restore the tooth, ensuring durability and a natural appearance. Comfort-Focused Care: We create a calm, reassuring environment to keep your child at ease, with techniques and explanations tailored to their age and needs. Post-Treatment Guidance: You’ll receive a detailed summary of the procedure, care instructions, and any recommendations for ongoing dental health. If further treatment is needed, a personalized treatment plan with estimated costs will be provided. Schedule your child’s filling today to protect their smile! If a comprehensive exam is needed, we’ll seamlessly incorporate it to ensure the best care possible.
Cancellation Policy
Watagan Dental Appointment & Booking Policy At Watagan Dental, appointments are reserved exclusively for each patient. This policy ensures fairness, clinical efficiency, and availability of care for our community. 1. Appointments Bookings can be made online at watagandental.com.au, by phone (02) 4977 1222, or in person during business hours (Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm). You will receive confirmation via SMS/email. A reminder SMS is sent approximately 48 hours prior. Reminders are a courtesy — patients remain responsible for attending or rescheduling in time. 2. New Patients & Examinations All new patients must complete a medical history form prior to treatment. For medico-legal and clinical governance reasons, an examination is required to diagnose conditions and develop an appropriate treatment plan for patients who do not have a current plan in place. This may include clinical assessment and radiographs where indicated. Treatment cannot proceed without appropriate examination and diagnosis. We accept all major health funds. 3. Cancellations & Booking Fees We require 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Appointments missed or changed with less than 48 hours’ notice will require a non-refundable booking fee to secure future appointments. The booking fee is applied to the next visit. If another late cancellation or missed appointment occurs, the fee will be retained. Repeated occurrences may result in refusal of further bookings and recommendation to seek another provider. Exceptional circumstances may be considered at the practice’s discretion. 4. Late Arrivals Arrivals more than 15 minutes late may require rescheduling to avoid impacting other patients and may fall under the 48-hour policy. 5. Payments & Health Funds Payment is required on the day of treatment. We accept EFTPOS, credit/debit cards, cash, and HICAPS. Health funds are separate entities with their own policies. We do not control rebate amounts. The policy holder is responsible for understanding their cover and ensuring full payment of any gap on the day. Any rebate disputes must be directed to the health fund. Payment plans may be available by prior agreement. 6. Zero Tolerance Policy We maintain a safe and respectful environment. Abusive, aggressive, threatening, discriminatory, or inappropriate behaviour toward staff or patients will not be tolerated. We reserve the right to refuse treatment, cancel appointments, decline future bookings, and involve authorities if required
