Every patient handout we give out, in one place and always the latest version: self-assessments, at-home routines and treatment explainers. Each guide is a single A4 page, ready to print or save. You will also find them embedded in the related article on our blog.
Crown alternatives
A one-page checklist to go with your written treatment plan: questions to ask us, questions to ask your health fund about item numbers, general or major dental, waiting periods and annual limits, and space to note what your fund tells you. An estimate is not a guarantee.
A one-page checklist for patients who already have a crown: how we look after it together, the signs to call us about, what to do if your crown comes loose or falls off, and space to note your crown and next check-up.
A two-page decision guide comparing a traditional filling, a BioClear restoration, a biomimetic crown and a conventional crown side by side: what each one does, how it is made, which teeth it suits, how we choose, and questions you might like to ask us. For patients weighing up a crown or a filling.
A two-page patient guide to how we rebuild damaged teeth while keeping more of your own tooth: what BioClear and biomimetic mean, the options from a traditional filling to a crown, what happens at the appointment, aftercare and common questions. Useful for patients who have been told they need a crown.
Extraction
A two-page take-home guide for after a tooth extraction: protect the blood clot in the first 24 hours (no rinsing, straws or suction), start gentle warm salt water mouth rinses the day after and continue for a full 5-7 days, plus what is usually normal and when to contact us. Given to patients after an extraction.
Practice form
General consent form for a patient or team member to sign before we feature them in a photo or video on our social media, Google profile, website or print. Covers everyday, non-clinical use only (not treatment or before-and-after images). Print and sign at reception.
Consent form for using clinical and before-and-after images anonymously (no name or face), for patient education and marketing. Includes the AHPRA-aligned wording and the honest limits of de-identification. Print and sign at reception.
Sedation
A one-page preparation and aftercare checklist for a visit with minimal sedation: nothing to eat or drink within 2 hours, no alcohol, the tablet taken at the clinic about an hour before, and a responsible adult to escort you home with no driving until the next day. Given to patients when they book.
Teeth grinding
A guide we go through with you at the chair: what tooth wear and grinding look like, how grinding can connect to your sleep, and the ways we can protect your teeth. Yours to take home.
Self-assessment checklist: common signs of teeth grinding and clenching to check at home before your visit.
Sensitive teeth
Step-by-step relief routine for sensitive teeth: Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief with the rub-on technique, NeutraFluor 5000, acidic drink habits and the bicarb soda rinse.
Prevention
Explains what a prevention filling is, why acting on early decay matters and what it means for your tooth long term.
Early treatment
Signs of gradual dental wear and damage that are easy to tune out, and why an early look is worth it.
Biomimetic crowns
Plain-language explainer of biomimetic crowns: how they work, how they preserve natural tooth structure and who they suit.
Post-treatment explainer for patients: why we recommended a biomimetic crown and what it means for your tooth.
Helps patients weigh the investment: what a biomimetic crown costs, what it protects and how it compares over time.
Our practice approach: what biomimetic dentistry is and why we use it to keep as much natural tooth as possible.
Sleep screening
Screening checklist for the signs that link snoring, sleep apnoea and teeth grinding, and when to raise them with us.
Jaw exercises
Illustrated jaw exercises for after wisdom teeth removal and longer dental visits: resting position, massage, stretch and glide.
