If this is an emergency

This website cannot help you with an urgent problem, and nothing on it should delay you getting care.

We do not operate an after-hours service. See dental emergency.

General information only

The information on this website is presented by Victorian Dental Group Pty Ltd. for the purpose of disseminating health information free of charge for the benefit of the public.

While the Victorian Dental Group Pty Ltd has exercised due care in ensuring the accuracy of the material contained on this website, the information on the site is made available on the basis that the Victorian Dental Group Pty Ltd is not providing professional advice on a particular matter.

This website is not a substitute for independent professional advice. Nothing contained in this site is intended to be used as medical advice and it is not intended to be used to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, nor should it be used for therapeutic purposes or as a substitute for your own health professional's advice.

Victorian Dental Group Pty Ltd. does not accept any liability for any injury, loss or damage incurred by use of or reliance on the information provided on this website.

Reading this site does not make you a patient

No practitioner–patient relationship is created by reading these pages, by sending an email, or by submitting a form. Care begins at an appointment, after an examination and a discussion of your own circumstances.

We cannot diagnose a tooth we have not examined. Photographs, descriptions and symptom lists — here or anywhere else — do not show decay, cracks, infection or bone loss reliably, which is why none of the pages on this site should be treated as a diagnosis of your own situation.

Individual circumstances differ

Every page here describes what is typical. Your own mouth, medical history, medications and habits change what is appropriate, what it will involve, how long it will last, and whether it is advisable at all.

Outcomes vary between individuals. Nothing on this site is a promise of a particular result, and no treatment described here is guaranteed to work for everyone.

Quality of information

Victorian Dental Group Pty Ltd. makes every effort to ensure the quality of the information available on this website and updates the information regularly. Before relying on the information on this site, however, users should carefully evaluate its accuracy, currency, completeness and relevance for their purposes, and should obtain any appropriate professional advice relevant to their particular circumstances. Victorian Dental Group Pty Ltd. cannot guarantee and assumes no legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, currency, completeness or interpretation of the information.

The material may include the views or recommendations of third parties and does not necessarily reflect the views of Victorian Dental Group Pty Ltd or indicate a commitment to a particular course of action.

Currency

Clinical guidance, government programmes, health fund rules and fees all change. Where a page refers to a benefit, a scheme or an eligibility rule, the responsible authority's own website is the current source — Services Australia for Medicare and the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, your health fund for rebates and limits, and Ahpra for practitioner registration.

Fees and quotes

Any fee shown on this website is indicative of a standard appointment or a starting price, and is subject to change.

The figure that applies to you is the one in the written, itemised treatment plan you are given before treatment begins. Where a page says "from", the final cost depends on what is found at examination. Nothing on this website is an offer capable of acceptance, or a quote.

Promotional offers are subject to our terms and conditions, and appointments to our attendance policies.

Links to other websites

This website contains links to other websites which are external to the Victorian Dental Group Pty Ltd.

Victorian Dental Group Pty Ltd takes reasonable care in selecting linking websites but Victorian Dental Group Pty Ltd accepts no responsibility for material contained in a website that is linked to this site. It is the responsibility of the user to make their own decisions about the accuracy, currency, reliability and correctness of information contained in linked external websites.

Links to external websites are provided for the user's convenience and do not constitute an endorsement or a recommendation of any third party products or services offered by virtue of any information, material or content linked from or to this site. Users of links provided by this site are responsible for being aware of which organisation is hosting the site they visit.

Views or recommendations provided in linked sites may include the views or recommendations of third parties and do not necessarily reflect those of Victorian Dental Group Pty Ltd or indicate a commitment to a particular course of action.

Content reproduced elsewhere

Search engines, assistants and other third-party tools may summarise, quote or reproduce material from this site. Those summaries are not written or checked by us, and they can be incomplete, out of date, or wrong.

The pages on this website are the authoritative version of anything we have published. Where a summary elsewhere differs from the page it came from, the page is what applies. If something you have read about this practice matters to your decision, ring us and check it.

Nothing in this disclaimer operates to exclude, restrict or modify any guarantee, right or remedy under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

You may also raise it independently with the Health Complaints Commissioner in Victoria (hcc.vic.gov.au), or with AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) about a registered practitioner's conduct.
