Affordable dental care - Inspiro’s dental clinic provides affordable dental care. All children under the age of 12 are free

Giving your child the best chance in life with good dental care matters. Starting your child off with good dental care will help protect their teeth for decades to come. A baby’s 20 primary teeth are already present in the jaws at birth. Those baby teeth that begin coming through the gums around 6 months help set the stage for future smiles by keeping space in the jaw for adult teeth.

Get your families teeth fixed early to avoid spending thousands

It’s much better to see the dentist for a yearly check-up rather than waiting until the time that your neglect has started causing you pain and discomfort (and additional cost). This same principle applies to your children.

High quality dental care matters to us

When it comes to your teeth you don’t want just anybody working on them. Government statistics show that not all dental services provide the same level of quality; Last year Inspiro dental performed well above the state average for dental service benchmarks.

Inspiro has well outperformed the state benchmark and the Eastern metro region benchmark for all dental health clinical indicators (in other words stats show that FAR less of our customers have faulty dentures or ongoing issues etc). See the figures here.

As a result of our affordable rates and highly ranked state benchmarking Inspiro has received a reputation for quality dental services at reasonable prices.

Higher standards than other dental clinics

As a side note we are also required by NSQHS to comply with strict infection control standards (higher standards than normal dental clinics). In addition private health insurance is likely to cover most or all of our standard private dental fees.

Emergency care
Check-ups, cleaning and preventative care

Infection control

Infection Control is a key element in Dental Services. To ensure that Inspiro Dental Service provides safe, high quality dental services we have strict policies and procedures in place, particularly in the area of Infection Control. To make sure these policies are followed properly we undertake regular audits of clinical practise and report outcomes to Inspiro’s Quality & Clinical Governance Committee.
