We endeavour to see all of our patients on time, all the time. If we are running behind schedule due to unexpected delays, we will inform you as soon as possible.
If you are unable to make your appointment punctually, please let us know as soon as possible by a telephone call, so that arrangements can be made to accommodate for the lateness. Please refer to our booking policy here.

We really want to make sure your first visit with us is as comfortable as possible.
Infection control and COVID-19 Response
As an essential service, our practice adheres to the strictest of triaging, infection control and disinfection protocols.
We are constantly on top of new government health and safety regulations as they are announced.
And we are also subjected to strict audits from MOH and other relevant authorities to ensure compliance.
Since we were founded, we have always been practicing routine disinfection and safety protocols to comply with MOH guidelines, so as to protect you and our team from HIV, SARS, Influenza and other communicable diseases, including Covid-19.
As we try to adapt to new rules and added safety measures during this time, we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
Your welfare and safety has never been more important to us.
Dental X-rays and Dental Photography
Dental X-rays and high-resolution photographs of your smile and teeth will be taken at your first visit. These are an essential part of your baseline clinical records. It is easy to miss silent dental problems if X-rays are omitted. It may even be considered unethical for any dentist to start treatment on teeth without dental X-rays as a guide.

Special Note: If you are Pregnant or if you can provide recent dental X-rays taken within the past 6 months, we might decide not to take new X-rays at your first visit.

Consultation, Examination and Treatment
A thorough examination will be done to ensure accurate documentation of any dental issues that you may have. It is also important for us to be aware of any systemic health conditions that you may have (even if you think they may not be relevant to dentistry), since this may affect how we care for you.
The purpose of your first visit is NOT necessarily to perform a professional cleaning (scaling and polishing) unless there is sufficient time left over after a detailed examination and a discussion of your treatment goals.
At Elite Dental Group, our consultation process is unique. We aim to focus on your long term oral healthcare goals instead of just prescribing a list of procedures. This means more time spent in conversation with us during your first visit.
Pregnant Patients
Tooth decay and gum disease can worsen due to hormonal changes and frequent snacking during pregnancy.
Your oral health can influence the outcome of your pregnancy as well as your baby’s future health. If needed, we will work closely with your gynaecologist to ensure that you have peace of mind whilst receiving dental care during your pregnancy.
Please be assured that routine dentistry is generally safe during pregnancy. It is encouraged to come in for your routine scaling & polishing at the beginning of every trimester.
Dental Emergencies
If your first appointment with us is for a dental emergency or acute pain, our priority during your visit will be to provide emergency treatment and pain relief.
Usually there is insufficient time to provide you with comprehensive dental care, especially for complex cases. Other non emergency dental issues will be addressed at subsequent appointments.
If you have sustained a dental injury due to an accident, you may consider submitting a claim against your personal accident insurance.
Your attending dentist can provide a dental report ($100 before GST) to help you with the claims process.
Oral Health Tests
Saliva Testing
Saliva testing identifies risk factors (bacterial load, oral pH, inflammation level) for dental problems (such as tooth decay and gum disease). Saliva testing can make it easier to objectively measure your personal dental risk profile, optimize and assess the effectiveness of preventative measures. Saliva testing is especially useful for patients with a history of severe dental problems that have been hard to control.
Oral cancer rates have been rising in patients who do not smoke or drink alcohol.
Oral Cancer Screening
Sedation
Oral sedation with medication, nitrous oxide/laughing gas sedation, IV sedation (by a visiting specialist anaesthesiologist) and lastly, General Anaesthesia at an external Day Surgery Centre are available for adults and children with dental fear and anxiety.
We can provide attendance slips to account for the time spent at our practice.
MCs are given for other procedures that are complex and extensive (eg. Dental Implant surgery).
Medical certificates (MCs)

Booking Deposits
Each appointment is reserved exclusively for only ONE patient at a time. This allows our clinical team to deliver the highest quality dentistry.
Long appointments (> 60 minutes) for complex treatment are reserved with a deposit, which will come from a portion of your treatment fee.

Booking deposits are carried forward if you reschedule at least 48 hours prior to your appointment time. It is refunded if you cancel at least 48 hours prior to your appointment time by phone call or in person.
In the event of a cancellation and/or rescheduling less than 48 hours prior to your appointment, or appointment non-attendance, the booking deposit WILL NOT be refunded.

Latecomers
While every effort will be made to accommodate your busy schedule, please understand that we have an ethical responsibility to maintain a high standard of dental care in all circumstances.
If the clinical team judges that insufficient time will mean compromising on the quality of dentistry that we can deliver, then the option to carry out partial treatment will be offered to you.
Should you only wish to attend for complete treatment as initially planned, then we may have to reschedule your appointment.
