FREE Invisalign Consultation

Yes. Enhance Dental offers a no-obligation initial Invisalign consultation, valued at $89, at no charge. You do not need a referral to book this appointment. It is an opportunity to discuss your teeth, your goals and whether Invisalign may be an appropriate option for you.

Booking the free visit does not commit you to purchasing treatment or taking out a payment plan. Use the appointment to understand the proposed next steps and raise concerns about costs or timing before deciding whether to proceed.

The free initial appointment is separate from the paid records and treatment stages. If you choose to proceed with records, a $590 non-refundable deposit applies and is credited towards your total treatment cost. General dental examinations, cleaning and required dental work are also separate services.

Ask the team to explain any proposed paid service before agreeing to it. The word “free” applies to the initial Invisalign consultation; it does not mean the complete treatment, all diagnostic work or all future dental appointments are free.

Your personal Invisalign consultation is with Dr Joseph Paino. He will discuss your concerns, assess whether Invisalign may be suitable and explain alternatives where other dental treatment needs to be considered. You are welcome to ask questions about both the appearance and practical aspects of treatment.

Describe the changes that matter to you, such as crowded or spaced teeth, movement since previous orthodontic treatment, or another aspect of your smile. You can explain your priorities without arriving with a particular treatment already chosen.

Discuss your preferred timeframe, work or study commitments, budget and any worries about dental care. Tell us if you need an explanation repeated or time to consider the information.

At Enhance Dental, Invisalign treatment at each appointment is provided by a dentist. Ask how your progress would be reviewed and who to contact if questions arise between planned visits.

The initial visit includes a personal discussion of your dental needs and an assessment of whether Invisalign may suit your situation. You can ask questions, discuss possible alternatives, review examples of treatment at Enhance Dental and receive a comprehensive information pack to help you consider the information afterwards.

Treatment examples illustrate changes in individual patients; they cannot predict your result. Your recommendation depends on your assessment, and a complete treatment plan may require further records.

The Invisalign consultation also provides an opportunity to discuss the fee structure, any preparation needed and the sequence of appointments. Eligible patients may receive a referral for the orthodontic X-rays described below. Eligibility and the selected radiology provider must be checked.

A digital scan, photographs and personalised ClinCheck computer modelling belong to the separate records stage if you choose to proceed. Whitening is a conditional treatment offer available later; it is not a whitening procedure provided at the free first visit.

Adults and teenagers can enquire about an Invisalign consultation. Crowding, spacing and other concerns about tooth position can be discussed, but a description or photograph alone cannot establish whether clear aligners are suitable. The dentist needs to assess your individual situation and any other dental needs.

If you have had braces or aligners before, explain when treatment finished, whether you have retainers and what changes you have noticed. Bring available treatment information. This is useful background, but it does not establish which new treatment you need.

Our Invisalign Teen information page introduces options for younger patients. When booking for a teenager, contact the practice to clarify attendance arrangements and what information to bring.

If Invisalign is not the appropriate approach, Dr Paino will discuss viable alternatives or other treatment that should be considered. A useful consultation may therefore lead to a different recommendation, further assessment or time to consider your options. No particular treatment or outcome is guaranteed by attending.

Bring a short list of the changes you would like to discuss and any questions you do not want to forget. Useful background includes previous orthodontic treatment, recent dental appointments, relevant medical information and a current list of medicines. Tell the dentist about any dental discomfort or concerns.

If you have dental X-rays or records, ask the practice how to make them available for review. Existing images may help, but they do not guarantee that no new imaging will be needed.

Bring your Medicare details if you want to discuss eligibility for the advertised orthodontic X-ray referral offer. If you have private health insurance, bring the details of your policy and any benefit information you have received. The practice can explain the treatment information your insurer may need.

For a price match enquiry, bring the genuine written quotation, including its date, provider, Invisalign product and proposed number of stages. Your Invisalign consultation is also the time to explain any preferred start date or important event, so expectations can be discussed without assuming a particular treatment deadline.

The advertised offer is a referral for orthodontic X-rays at selected radiology centres. It applies to Medicare card holders who meet the relevant eligibility requirements. The imaging described in the offer is an OPG or panoramic X-ray and a lateral cephalometric X-ray.

These images are taken by the radiology provider following referral, rather than being a promise that every type of imaging is supplied free at the Invisalign consultation. The dentist will explain the imaging proposed for your assessment and the referral arrangements that apply.

Before attending the radiology appointment, confirm with the nominated centre which examinations are covered, whether your Medicare eligibility has been established and whether any charge applies to the requested service. If you do not hold a Medicare card, ask about the available arrangements and fees before proceeding.

Provide recent imaging for review. The referral offer does not cover all diagnostic tests or unrelated dental X-rays. Ask for any additional imaging needs and associated costs to be explained.

Your Invisalign consultation is a useful time to discuss recent dental care and any outstanding treatment. A free orthodontic discussion does not replace a general dental examination, cleaning or treatment of other dental problems. Tell us if you have existing concerns so the appropriate assessment can be arranged.

Before commencing Invisalign treatment, Enhance Dental requires a general dental check-up, bitewing radiographs, a scale and clean, and any required dental work to have been completed within the previous six months. The dentist will review what has already been done and explain what remains necessary in your situation.

Those general dental services are separate from the Invisalign treatment fee. Enhance Dental can assess, quote for and provide the required care. Ask for the preparation costs to be identified separately so you understand the proposed orthodontic treatment and the other dental work involved.

If you see another dentist, bring details of recent appointments and relevant records. Explain planned dental work before setting a start date, so the necessary preparation and order of treatment can be discussed.

The next stage can include Invisalign records and individual treatment planning. A $590 non-refundable deposit is required when you proceed with records, and that amount is credited towards your total Invisalign treatment cost. It is separate from the free initial Invisalign consultation.

The records stage includes a customised 3D digital scan, photographic records and animated ClinCheck computer models of the proposed tooth movements. The advertised records package also includes two comprehensive scheduled appointments and digital setup fees. These are planning services, not a guarantee of a particular result.

Dr Paino prepares your individual virtual treatment plan, and the computer modelling can be adjusted to suit your needs at no extra fee. You can review the proposed result before approving treatment. A 3D movie file is also available for you to keep at no extra cost.

Before agreeing to records, check the deposit terms, planning appointments and treatment-account credit. The deposit is non-refundable even though it forms part of the total fee if you proceed with treatment.

Yes. Your Invisalign consultation is an opportunity to discuss the treatment fee and the option recommended for your teeth. Our Invisalign Cost page shows the five treatment categories, upfront fees, payment-plan totals and applicable inclusions. A written recommendation should explain the option relevant to your assessment.

For a price match review, bring a genuine written quotation from a certified Invisalign provider currently practising in Australia. The quotation must use the genuine Invisalign product, be no more than two months old, and specify the required stages within Invisalign protocols for predictable tooth movement.

The offer remains subject to assessment of suitable treatment. Compare stages, records, appointments, retainers, payment conditions and separately quoted dental work as well as the price. Two headline prices may describe different care.

Invisalign Australia’s cost guidance explains that providers determine their own treatment fees. Use your Invisalign consultation to clarify the quotation you are considering, including the deposit credit and the full amount payable under your chosen payment arrangement.

Yes. Enhance Dental offers 0% interest-free Invisalign payment plans for approved applicants. A deposit is required, and approval and the applicable terms must be reviewed before you accept an arrangement. Discussing finance at an Invisalign consultation does not mean that an application has been approved.

Ask for the total treatment fee, the deposit, the instalment amounts and the payment schedule to be explained together. An advertised weekly amount is only one part of the arrangement. Our fee comparison shows payment-plan totals separately from upfront fees, so check which figure applies to your proposed treatment.

Read the agreement for additional fees and missed-payment conditions. Ask the practice to explain the available options and the details of your arrangement before deciding how to pay.

Treatment extras also have their own conditions. In particular, the whitening offer and the one-time Vivera retainer offer require treatment to have been paid in full. Ask when applicable inclusions become available under your chosen payment plan.

The advertised take-home Zoom teeth-whitening offer is linked to Invisalign treatment and is available only after all Invisalign treatment payments have been completed, subject to clinical suitability. It is not provided simply for attending an Invisalign consultation. Enhance Dental supplies the whitening gel after the attachments have been removed.

Before whitening, a recent examination and clean at Enhance Dental is required. Bitewing radiographs must be updated if they are more than two years old. Dental problems such as gum disease or decay must be treated first. Examination, cleaning and other required dental care are quoted separately.

Your dentist will assess whether whitening is appropriate and explain the instructions for the supplied gel. Results vary, restorations do not lighten, and teeth may not whiten evenly. Sensitivity can occur. Discuss these considerations before deciding to use the offer.

At your Invisalign consultation, ask how whitening would fit with your proposed treatment and other dental work. The inclusion remains subject to the payment, timing and suitability requirements above. The full treatment inclusions and conditions are also explained on our Cost page.

A contribution may be available if your policy includes eligible orthodontic treatment. Check directly with your private health insurer that your cover includes Invisalign and ask what benefits remain available. Attending an Invisalign consultation does not establish eligibility or guarantee a particular rebate.

Before treatment, ask your insurer about waiting periods, annual and lifetime orthodontic limits, previous claims and when benefits can be claimed. Provide the recommended treatment information and dental item numbers when requesting an estimate. Mention the proposed payment arrangements, because the timing of payments and claims may matter.

A percentage of eligible orthodontic fees may be claimable through Enhance Dental’s HICAPS facility. The amount depends on your policy and your insurer’s assessment. HICAPS availability does not mean every patient or every treatment item will receive a benefit.

The Commonwealth Ombudsman’s orthodontic insurance guidance explains useful checks to make with your insurer. Keep the insurer’s benefit estimate alongside the treatment quotation: one describes a possible contribution from your cover, while the other describes the fee payable for the proposed dental care.
