Dental care for Reid patients

Reid has many long-time residents and families, so common visits include check-ups and cleans, crowns, fillings and implant consultations.

• Check-ups and cleans: regular check-ups and cleans pick up decay and gum problems early, when they’re simpler and cheaper to treat. Our new patient check-up and clean is from $219.
• Fillings: tooth-coloured fillings cost $209–$450, depending on the size of the filling and which surfaces of the tooth it covers.
• Children’s dentistry: gentle check-ups for kids, fissure sealants and advice for parents, from a child’s first visit through to their teens.
• Emergencies: same-day emergency appointments for toothache, broken teeth, swelling and knocked-out teeth whenever we can fit you in.
• Root canal treatment: root canal therapy to save an infected tooth, $1,200–$2,000 depending on the number of roots (the final filling or crown is extra).
• Crowns: porcelain crowns from $1,800 to protect cracked, heavily filled or root-filled teeth.
• Missing teeth: dental implants are from $5,500 for a single implant, with a written quote after an assessment and 3D scan.
• Straightening: Invisalign ranges from $4,200–$8,990 and braces from $4,000–$8,000.
