Our Approach to Pricing
We describe our pricing as “family-affordable” because that’s exactly what it is. Premium quality care at prices that work for families in Bacchus Marsh, Melton, Ballan, and surrounds.
What this means in practice:
- Competitive pricing that reflects our local community
- No hidden fees or surprise costs
- Transparent quotes provided before any treatment begins
- Multiple payment options to spread the cost
- Complimentary consultations so you know exactly what you’re looking at before committing
We’re not the cheapest option, and we wouldn’t want to be. Cosmetic dentistry requires skill, quality materials, and proper time. But we’ve worked hard to make our services accessible to everyday families, not just those with unlimited budgets.
Flexible Payment Options
We offer several ways to manage the cost of cosmetic dentistry:
Interest-free payment plans
Spread the cost of your treatment over time with no interest charges. We can discuss terms that work for your budget during your consultation.
Afterpay
Pay in four fortnightly instalments with no interest. Available for smaller treatments and deposits.
Humm
Flexible payment terms for larger treatments. Apply in-clinic and get an answer quickly.
SuperCare
Access your superannuation to pay for dental treatment. This option is available for eligible patients and can make larger treatments like smile makeovers more accessible.
Health fund claims
We accept all major health funds and offer HICAPS on-the-spot claiming. This means you only pay the gap on the day, rather than claiming later.
Staged treatment plans
For comprehensive smile makeovers, we can stage your treatment over time. This spreads both the appointments and the costs across several months, making it more manageable.
What Affects the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dental costs vary based on several factors:
The type of treatment
Teeth whitening costs less than porcelain veneers. Cosmetic bonding costs less than a full smile makeover. The treatments you need will be the biggest factor in your overall cost.
The complexity of your case
Some cases are straightforward. Others require preparatory work like gum treatment, orthodontics, or decay management before cosmetic treatments can begin. More complex cases take more time and resources.
The materials used
We use high-quality materials because they look better and last longer. Porcelain veneers, for example, cost more than composite bonding, but they typically last 10-15 years compared to 5-7 years for composite.
The number of teeth involved
A single veneer costs less than a full set. Whitening your whole smile costs the same whether you have minor or significant staining.
Your individual goals
Some people want subtle improvements. Others want a complete transformation. We tailor treatment plans to your specific goals and budget.
Complimentary Consultations: Know Your Costs Upfront
One of the most important things we offer is a complimentary consultation. This removes the financial barrier to simply finding out what’s possible.
During your complimentary consultation, you’ll receive:
- A thorough examination of your oral health
- A discussion of your goals and concerns
- Digital Smile Design preview of potential results
- A detailed quote outlining all costs
- Information about payment options
- Time to ask questions with no pressure
You’ll leave knowing exactly what treatments are recommended, what they’ll cost, and how you might pay for them. There’s no obligation to proceed, and no awkward conversations about money later.

Quality Matters More Than Price Alone
We understand the temptation to shop purely on price. But cosmetic dentistry is one area where the cheapest option rarely delivers the best value.
Why quality matters:
- Longevity: Well-made restorations last years longer than cheap alternatives. A veneer that lasts 15 years costs less per year than one that fails after 5.
- Appearance: Quality materials and skilled application create natural-looking results. Poor quality work often looks obviously artificial.
- Comfort: Properly fitted restorations feel comfortable. Poorly made ones can cause ongoing issues.
- Safety: Cosmetic procedures done properly protect your underlying teeth. Done poorly, they can cause damage.
At Bacchus Marsh Dental House, we invest in the latest technology and over 300 hours of professional training every year. Our team includes dentists experienced in cosmetic procedures, using quality materials from reputable suppliers.
We’d rather do the job properly once than have you return for repairs or replacements.
Affordable Options for Different Budgets
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t all-or-nothing. There are options at various price points:
Lower cost options:
- Professional teeth whitening (in-chair or take-home)
- Cosmetic bonding for minor chips or gaps
- Single tooth improvements
Mid-range options:
- Porcelain veneers on front teeth only
- Invisalign for alignment improvements
- Combination of whitening plus minor bonding
Comprehensive options:
- Full smile makeovers with multiple treatments
- Complete veneer sets
- Complex cases involving orthodontics, gum work, and restorations
During your consultation, we’ll discuss which options might achieve your goals within your budget. Sometimes a simpler approach delivers results you’re happy with at a fraction of the cost of a full makeover.
