The cost of your treatment at Arthur Street Dental will depend on what you’re having done and the complexity of the procedure.
When you first visit our Coffs Harbour dental clinic, we will develop an individualised dental treatment plan and will discuss the costs of any proposed treatments with you.
Due to our appointments being in high demand our practice is now taking a deposit of $100 to secure every patient appointment, unless the deposit is paid the appointment can’t be held for you.
If you have any questions about our fees, payment methods or funding options, please contact the friendly staff at Arthur Street Dental in Coffs Harbour.

Did you switch from cigarettes to vaping because you thought it was safer or better for your oral health?
Unfortunately, new evidence suggests that vaping is harmful to your teeth. In fact, it may be more problematic than traditional tobacco smoking.
Your Coffs Harbour dentist shares a few reasons to quit vaping in the list below:
- Dry Mouth — Smoking has always been a risk factor for dry mouth, which increases cavity risks. Vaping is no different.
- Increased Tooth Decay Risks — Some vaping products' ingredients break down and become acidic, which can erode enamel. Additionally, the sweet flavouring in some vaping juices can also promote tooth decay.
- Oral Cancer Risks — A new study finds that vaping can alter DNA methylation, which may increase cancer risks. Of course, traditional smoking also increases your risks.
We Urge You to Visit the Dentist
We strongly encourage you to stop tobacco in all forms. There is no safe option or clever way to trade one method for another. Smoking and vaping are harmful to your oral health and can impact overall wellness.
If you vape or have recently stopped, you must see your dentist for a periodontal check, comprehensive dental exam, and professional teeth clean in Coffs Harbour. We aim to set you back on a healthy course.
We encourage you to book your next dental appointment today.
A dental emergency can be a traumatic experience, especially if pain is involved. We treat dental emergencies as quickly as possible, often arranging a same-day appointment.
The purpose of an emergency dental exam is to determine the cause of pain or the problem and to diagnose the condition. When you contact our Coffs Harbour dental surgery with a toothache or other oral health issue, our team will ask a few important questions to prepare for your arrival.
In most cases, we will start by taking an x-ray of the affected tooth or area to give Dr Ward valuable information. Once he determines the problem, he will address the pain and stabilise your condition.
- A broken tooth
- A knocked-out tooth
- A damaged or lost restoration
- Swelling or pain
If you have a toothache or dental emergency, we encourage you to contact our surgery right away. Dental pain may worsen with time and put your oral health at risk.
