Footy finals the show and fine weather.  It always has a good feeling about it at this time of the year.  We hope this newsletter finds you all relaxed.

Dental on Metro is coming up to its third birthday this December.  The practice is really just being finished with concurrent use of our second operatory and the closing in of our amenities, the creation of a refresher station and increased stock carrying space.  The clinic is still able to double in size.  Over 100 new people every month are choosing to make Dental on Metro their dentist.

CLAIM YOUR INSURANCE IN THE 2014 CALENDAR YEAR!

Are your insurance claiming limits sitting there unused? Remember that for most health insurances, you’re better off to use up your insurance entitlements within the calendar year.  This is because most insurance entitlements renew on January 1 (including BUPA).  Don’t let your premiums go to waste, find out whether your insurance entitlements are based on calendar year or financial year.  This is particularly important if you are claiming the more expensive ‘major’ dental such as crowns or root canal treatment.  If your ‘minor’ limit is used, it does not mean that your ‘major’ is used.  There is still plenty of time to get crowns in for this calendar year.  For any clients wishing to make an appointment or requiring a new cost estimate with item codes, please contact the clinic.

IMPLANT RESTORATION:

A Dental implant is a method for replacing single or multiple lost teeth.  As opposed to a bridge or a denture, and implant stands alone like the original tooth without the need to damage other healthy teeth.  Dental on Metro is now offering Dental Implant Restoration using the most common implant systems such as Noble Biocare.  We now have in place structured professional relationships with implant surgeons and are able to work collaboratively to provide successful long term solutions for anyone requiring dental implants.
