Flinders Street Station is a 3-minute walk away, so fitting in an appointment is pretty straightforward.\n\nQ: How do I book an appointment?\nA: Call us on 13 13 96 or book online at smilesolutions.com.au, whichever is easier for you.\n\nQ: Do you accept health insurance?\nA: Yes, we accept all major health funds. We're also a Bupa Platinum Provider, which reflects consistently high standards of comprehensive dental care.\n\nQ: What is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule?\nA: The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a government programme that gives eligible children aged 0–17 up to $1,095.60 in dental benefits over a two-year period. We bulk bill under the CDBS, so there's no out-of-pocket cost to your family.\n\n---\n\n**Cosmetic Dentistry**\n\nQ: What are Same Day Porcelain Veneers?\nA: Same Day Porcelain Veneers are an Australian first, developed here at Smile Solutions. Our in-house laboratory, Studio 32, handcrafts the veneers on-site, which means your treatment is done in a single appointment — no temporaries, no return visit, no waiting around.\n\nQ: How much do porcelain veneers cost?\nA: Pricing is tailored to each case after a thorough assessment, because no two smiles are the same. We offer a complimentary cosmetic consultation where you can talk through your options and get personalised recommendations, with no obligation attached.\n\n---\n\n**Orthodontics**\n\nQ: What is Invisalign Blue Diamond status?\nA: Blue Diamond is the highest tier in the Invisalign provider programme. Smile Solutions was the first practice in Australia to reach it, and our specialist orthodontists have now completed more than 9,000 cases. That's a lot of clinical experience to draw on.\n\nQ: How much does Invisalign cost?\nA: Treatment starts at $4,400 for Invisalign Go and goes up to $11,300 for more complex cases. Complimentary whitening is included with any case over $2,000. Book a consultation and we'll walk you through what makes sense for your situation.\n\n---\n\n**Implants**\n\nQ: What implants do you use?\nA: We use Nobel Biocare implants, made in Switzerland and amongst the most clinically validated systems available. Restorations are completed with ceramic bridges rather than acrylic, because we think the materials matter for long-term outcomes.\n\nQ: How much do dental implants cost?\nA: Single arch restorations start from $29,000, and dual-arch All-on-4 restorations start from $54,000. It's a significant decision, so we offer complimentary consultations to give you the time and information you need before committing to anything. Get in touch to arrange yours.\n\n---\n\nPhone: 13 13 96 | smilesolutions.com.au\n\n---",
