verynewuser Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Can someone shed light on what is average dental checkup cost in Australia, especially in NSW and more specifically in Sydney. Assume that the person who wants to get his teeth checked, does not have medical insurance apart from Medicare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 All depends what you get from them, whether they want scale &clean, x rays etc - anywhere between $150 and $300 I should think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Not cheap in my experience. Although we are in rural Victoria and our choices are limited to the local government funded dentist who are not that good imo opinion and still charged loads unless you have a health care card or the private dentist who charge loads but are very good. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck What are this 'load' as per you. Am I safe here to assume that according to you anything above $200 can be put in 'loads' category ?

aconcannon Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 My husband & I had a check up each, an X-ray & a scale & polish. The bill for us both was $540 & that was after discount had been applied from the dental insurers we use. We're on Sydney's north shore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wa7 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Be careful with the dentists here, they get carried away with themselves if your not on your toes. Walk in thinking it will be x amount and its doubled by the time they have finished because they do "extra " that you haven't asked for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
