New patients
We’re so glad you are considering Toothbuds for your child’s dental care. Our goal is to make every visit relaxed, positive, and tailored to your child’s needs.

The first appointment is all about getting to know your child in a calm and supportive way. We’ll:
Take time to talk with you about your child’s health, habits, and any concerns
Gently introduce your child to the dental chair and environment
Provide you with a personalised treatment plan
Answer any questions you may have
Please note: no treatment is carried out at this first consultation appointment.
What to expect
A warm, child-friendly environment designed to put kids at ease
Specialist staff experienced in caring for children of all ages and needs
Time to ask questions and fully understand your child’s care options
A treatment plan tailored to your child and family
How to book
You don’t need a referral to see us—simply call our clinic or complete the online enquiry form, and we’ll be in touch to arrange an appointment.
If your child has been referred by a dentist, doctor, or health professional, please bring along any referral letters, notes, or X-rays.
Fees & payment
As a private specialist clinic, our services are not funded by the public system.
Consultation fees will be discussed at the time of booking.
An estimate of treatment costs will always be provided before starting care.
Payment options can be arranged with our reception team.
In some cases:
ACC may partially cover treatment for dental trauma (please expect a gap payment).
Private health insurance may contribute to costs, depending on your policy. We encourage you to check your coverage before your visit.
