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.
