Core Dental Group Check-up and Clean | Wyndham

Regular check-ups and cleans are the foundation of good oral health — and at Core Dental Group Wyndham, we recommend coming in every six months. That's because a lot of dental problems build up quietly, without any pain or obvious signs, until they've become something much harder to treat. Catching them early keeps treatment straightforward and costs down.

What's included in a check-up and clean?

Your appointment covers a comprehensive examination, a professional scale and clean, and digital X-rays where needed. Here's what the team will look at:

• All teeth for signs of decay, cracks, and wear
• Your gums for gingivitis or early-stage periodontitis
• The soft tissues of your mouth and throat for any signs of oral cancer
• How your teeth come together (occlusal analysis)
• Digital X-rays to pick up problems that aren't visible to the naked eye
• Above and below gum-line scaling to clear plaque and calculus buildup
• Polish and fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel

Check-ups and cleans at Core Dental Group Wyndham start from $290.

Why every six months?

Plaque starts hardening into calculus within just a few days. Once that happens, brushing can't shift it — you need professional care. Left alone, calculus accumulates below the gum line, causing inflammation, gum recession, and eventually bone loss.

The good news: most dental decay and gum disease is entirely preventable with twice-yearly professional care and consistent home hygiene habits.

No-gap check-up and clean for new patients

New patients with eligible private health insurance may qualify for a no-gap check-up and clean, covering your first comprehensive examination, X-rays, and scale and clean with nothing out of pocket. When you call to book, ask the team whether your health fund qualifies.

Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) — bulk billing for children

Children aged 2 to 17 from families receiving eligible Australian Government payments may be covered under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule. Core Dental Group Wyndham bulk bills eligible children under this scheme, so there's no cost for their check-up and clean. Benefits of up to $1,095.60 are available over a two-year period.

Health fund rebates with HICAPS

HICAPS is available on-site, so your health fund rebate is processed on the spot at your appointment. You pay the gap, if there is one — no waiting on reimbursement.

Early detection of decay and gum disease

Core Dental Group Wyndham is a preferred provider for HCF, CBHS, and NIB, which means patients with those funds generally pay less out of pocket for routine check-ups and cleans.

The team uses digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to show you exactly what's going on in your mouth. You'll always have a clear picture of your dental health before any treatment is discussed — no surprises.

The practice near Pacific Werribee Shopping Centre looks after patients from Hoppers Crossing, Werribee, and Point Cook, and carries the group's strongest on-site specialist presence, so anything flagged at your check-up can be followed up without sending you across town.
