A conversation before a decision
Understand your care and your options
We take time to listen to your concerns and explain suitable options. Ask about findings, treatment choices, likely steps, timing and fees before deciding how you would like to proceed.
Some care involves a single visit; other treatment needs several appointments or specialist input. We will discuss the plan with you and help you understand the practical arrangements.
Feeling nervous? Let us know when booking. Talk to Dr Paino about what helps you feel comfortable, any questions and when you might need a pause.

Who established Enhance Dental?

Who will I meet at the practice?
Our current team page introduces Dr Joseph Paino, Brigitte, Elena and Kush. Brigitte is the practice manager, Elena is the practice coordinator and Kush supports Dr Paino as a dental nurse. Their roles include helping arrange your visit, answering practical questions and supporting the clinical appointment. If you are unsure who to speak to, call and explain your enquiry so it can be directed appropriately.
What should I know about us before my first appointment?
Tell the team why you would like to visit, any concerns about dental care and whether you have access or communication needs. Have your current medicines, relevant medical information and questions ready to discuss. Ask how existing dental records can be shared. Confirm the appointment time, expected length, fees and anything you need to bring before you arrive.
Can I talk about several dental concerns together?
Yes. Explain your priorities when booking, whether you want a routine check-up, help with a particular tooth or information about cosmetic or restorative options. An examination may be needed to understand your dental health and discuss suitable choices. Ask about the likely steps, alternatives, timing and fees before deciding how to proceed. The appointment type and assessment required depend on your circumstances.
What if I feel nervous about seeing a dentist?
Let our team know when booking and tell Dr Paino what concerns you. You can ask for explanations, discuss a pause signal and talk about comfort options before treatment starts. Our Difference page explains the practice’s approach to listening, communication and comfort. Options depend on the planned treatment and your individual needs; ask which arrangements may be appropriate for your appointment.
How does dental technology fit into care?
Dr Paino keeps up to date with dental technology and explains its role in assessment and treatment planning in the original practice videos below. The practice uses tools such as digital radiographs, intraoral photographs and a digital scanner where appropriate. Ask why a particular investigation is recommended and how it may help your care. You can learn more about us through the Advanced Technology and Our Difference pages.
Can I ask about treatment costs before proceeding?
Yes. Ask what the appointment includes and request an explanation of the proposed treatment, fees, alternatives and any separate costs before agreeing to care. Review the practice’s payment information and any offer conditions that apply. If you have private health insurance, check the relevant cover with your insurer. A consultation offer does not make all examinations, records or subsequent treatment free.
