Dental Check-up and Clean at Core Dental Bayside

Regular dental check-ups are the foundation of lifelong oral health - and from June 2026, residents of Bentleigh, Brighton, Cheltenham and the surrounding Bayside corridor will have a Core Dental practice right on their doorstep.

Opening June 2026 - Bentleigh's New Local Dentist

Core Dental Bayside will open at 973 Nepean Hwy, Bentleigh VIC 3204, bringing the Core Dental Group's trusted approach to preventive care to a community that has long lacked a group-quality dental practice nearby.

What Is Included in a Check-up and Clean?

A comprehensive dental check-up at Core Dental Bayside covers:

• Full mouth examination - teeth, gums, bite, soft tissues, jaw joint
• Oral cancer screening - checking for any suspicious changes to the oral mucosa
• Digital X-rays - detecting decay, bone changes, and issues invisible to the naked eye
• Intraoral photos - a visual record and educational tool
• Professional scale and clean - removal of plaque and calculus build-up above and below the gumline
• Polish - stain removal and smooth finish
• Fluoride treatment - protective fluoride application
• Oral hygiene advice - personalised tips for your home care routine

We recommend a professional clean every 6 months. Many conditions - gum disease, early decay, oral cancer - show no symptoms until well advanced. Regular check-ups catch problems early, when treatment is simpler and less costly.

No-Gap Check-up for Eligible New Patients

New patients with eligible private health insurance may qualify for a no-gap check-up and clean, meaning no out-of-pocket cost for the complete initial appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have a dental check-up? The Australian Dental Association recommends a professional check-up and clean every 6 months for most adults and children. Some patients with higher decay or gum disease risk may benefit from more frequent visits - your dentist will advise what is right for you.

What is included in a no-gap check-up? Eligible new patients with private health insurance can receive a no-gap comprehensive check-up including examination (011), X-rays (022), OPG panoramic X-ray, intraoral photos, oral cancer screening, occlusal analysis, and a scale and clean (114) - all with no out-of-pocket cost. Note: this offer cannot be combined with other promotions.

Do you bulk bill children? Yes - Core Dental accepts the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), which provides up to $1,026 in government-funded dental treatment for eligible children aged 2 to 17. This covers check-ups, X-rays, cleaning, fillings, extractions, and root canals. Check eligibility via MyGov (Medicare).

Can I book for my whole family in one visit? Yes - we encourage family appointment blocks. This is especially convenient for busy parents who want to bring their children at the same time. Call 13 13 16 to arrange back-to-back family appointments.
