Dental Insurance: Use It or Lose It!

If you are overdue for a dental clean and checkup, the time to act is now if you are a health fund member. Most dental insurance funds offer no-gap cleans once or twice yearly, but your benefits do not roll over into the next year. This means that your benefits are wasted if you do not take advantage of them. At Simply Smiles Dental, Toorak dentists and their helpful staff are happy to work patients into the schedule through the end of December so that they can achieve maximum rebates and healthy smiles this 2015.

Smiling has numerous benefits for both the brain and the body, and the Melbourne dentists at Simply Smiles Dental encourage all patients to show off their smiles for improved overall health.

Dental Care: Second Opinions?

If the proposed treatment plan leaves you feeling uneasy, you should never feel bad about seeking a second opinion. A good dentist would never take offense at your desire to make an informed decision by seeking the advice of another professional.

Smile Trends

Smile Trends

Not so long ago, porcelain veneers could be spotted from across a crowded room. Thick and opaque, these cosmetic “enhancements” often resembled horse teeth and were hardly an improvement over a person’s natural teeth.

Thankfully, cosmetic dentistry materials and techniques have come a long way in recent decades.

This is partly due to patients who just want to subtly enhance what they already have rather than sport Hollywood smiles that scream, “I paid a lot for this!”
