Your first visit, start to finish

If you’ve never been in before, here’s exactly how your first visit goes — start to finish, no surprises. The whole idea is that you know what will happen before you arrive.

You’ll always know the cost before any treatment starts.

How the appointment goes

Arrive
Come in off the Cronulla Street mall. Say hi at the front desk — there’s parking a block north and the station is a 4-minute walk.
A chat first
We sit down and talk before anything else: your history, what’s brought you in, and anything you’re worried about.
A gentle exam
A careful look at your teeth, gums and bite, with digital X-rays only if they’re needed.
Your plan
We explain what we found in plain words and, if anything needs doing, walk you through the options.
The cost, up front
You’ll get a clear estimate before any treatment — including what your health fund is likely to cover.

Have a look around before you come in.

The rooms, the front desk, the street out front — a quick walk through the practice so nothing about your visit is a surprise.

The Saltwater Dental front desk, with a curved reception counter and a team member ready to greet patients — Reception — say hi to the front desk on your way in.

The waiting corner at Saltwater Dental with a low sofa against exposed brick and natural light — The waiting corner — brick, a low sofa, and morning light.

A calm treatment room at Saltwater Dental with the chair set against warm timber floors and daylight — Room 1 — the one with the timber floor and the big window.

A Saltwater Dental clinician mid-conversation with a patient beside the chair, both at ease — Chairside — most of your visit is a conversation.

A tray of clean dental instruments laid out ready, sealed and sterilised per instrument — Sterilisation bay — every instrument sealed and tracked.

A close detail of the practice: a study model and toothbrushes on a bench beside a small plant — The little things — study models and a plant on the bench.

A dentist and patient across a desk looking at a scan together during a consultation — The consult desk — where we talk through the plan and the cost.

The Saltwater Dental shopfront on a suburban corner, late afternoon — Out front — Cronulla Street, a block from the station.
