Wondering how much a dental check-up and clean costs in Lara? At Lara Dental Prime, patients can book a $149 Dental Check-Up & Clean. Eligible private health fund patients may also be able to access gap-free care up to $149, depending on their level of cover.
This article explains what affects the cost, what to ask before booking, and how health funds may help reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
Why dental check-up costs can vary
The cost of a dental check-up and clean can vary depending on what is needed during the visit. A simple routine visit may be different from an appointment where X-rays, gum concerns, tooth pain, or additional treatment planning is required.
That is why it is helpful to ask the clinic what is included before booking. At Lara Dental Prime, our reception team can explain the current check-up and clean offer and help you understand the appointment type that suits your needs.

Can private health funds reduce the cost?
Yes, private health fund extras cover may reduce your out-of-pocket cost. Lara Dental Prime accepts all major health funds and offers on-the-spot claiming through HICAPS.

When should you book a check-up?

You should also book sooner if you notice bleeding gums, tooth sensitivity, a chipped tooth, bad breath, or discomfort when chewing.
