Your first visit, hour by hour.

Before you arrive

Isabelle, our treatment coordinator, calls ahead of your visit: what’s worrying you, what you’ve been quoted elsewhere (bring it — we’ll translate it into plain English), any dental anxiety we should plan around. Street parking runs along High Street and Kooyong Road; Armadale station is a four-minute walk.

The forty-five minutes

Minutes 0–10 — the conversation. Not in a chair. In the corner of the studio with the good light, where you tell us what you’d change and — just as useful — what you’re afraid of ending up with.

Minutes 10–30 — the records. Calibrated photography against a neutral grey, a digital scan of both arches, and an examination that looks at gum health and bite before anything cosmetic. If imaging is needed, it happens here under our own radiation licence.

Minutes 30–45 — the routes. Dr Ellison or Dr Raman walks you through what’s achievable — usually two or three routes at genuinely different price points, including the cheaper one we’d choose ourselves. You’ll see gallery cases that started where you are.

What follows

Within three days: a written plan, itemised against ADA codes, with each stage priced separately. No deposit is taken at the consultation and nobody phones you to “lock in a special”. The plan is yours; so are your photographs and scans, and we email them to you or to any second-opinion practitioner you choose.
