Mount Barker Dental Centre has been providing high quality affordable dental care since 1997. Our team includes both dentists, Chris Thorne, Hannah Korhonen-Bannister, Monica Biondo and Anthony Ma, and oral health therapists, Edwina Williams, Bianca Stott and Deanna Efstathiadis, who are committed to maintaining every aspect of your oral health.
At Mount Barker Dental Centre our aim is to see our patients when they want to be seen. For all appointments our reception team works with you to find a day and a time that best meets your needs. Any dental emergencies are seen on the day (see below).
Yes, we offer evening and Saturday sessions to make it easier for patients whose time is constrained by employment, family or other commitments.
Each day we reserve a number of appointments for emergency care. During normal consulting hours please phone 8391 1655 and explain your problem to our reception team. After hours, please phone our after-hours emergency hotline (0412 166 874). We are one of the very few dental practices in the Adelaide Hills offering an after-hours emergency service.
At Mount Barker Dental Centre, we are committed to charging a fair price for the services we provide. Our reception staff will tell you the cost of an initial check-up and, if you need further treatment, your dentist will prepare a treatment plan for you and explain the costs of this treatment.
We require payment in full on the day of your treatment and accept cash, credit and debit cards, and personal cheques. Any dental benefits from your health fund will be processed immediately and your account will be reduced accordingly. We also accept all current government dental schemes. (If you are concerned about your ability to pay, especially where your treatment plan requires services over an extended period, please talk to us about a payment plan.)
We have set up the Happy Chomper Kids’ Club to help kids overcome their fear of the dentist and to encourage them to look after their teeth (as well as to support parents in achieving these outcomes). To find out more about our Happy Chomper Kids Club please visit our Kids Club page at http://happychomper.com.au/kids-club/
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a dental benefits program for eligible children aged 2-17 years that provides up to $1000 in benefits over a two-year period for basic dental services. For details about eligibility and the services covered see https://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/childdental, Mount Barker Dental Centre is eligible to provide these services and accepts the scheduled government fee as full payment.
Yes, while our dentists can clean and scale your teeth, our oral health therapists have been trained specifically and are the real experts in this area.
Some dentists recommend a check-up every 6 months. However, current research suggests that the frequency of check-ups should be based on a review of a patient’s risks, including their medical and dental history, oral hygiene, dietary habits and so on. While many patients may opt for a 6 monthly clean and scale, not all need a check-up every 6 months.
