FAQs
We take pride in our relationships with staff and our patients and their families. Dr Mark, Dr Annika and Megan have known many of their clients since childhood. Several of our team members have worked with us for decades, and have balanced raising their families with dentistry. Some of our staff have left to undertake university study and are now back at our practice as highly qualified health providers.
All our professional staff are committed to continuing professional development, attending conferences and accessing current research and new techniques. Our team members are also educators at university dental schools and are involved in organising continuing professional education in the Australian Dental Association. Dr Mark is the current president and for many years previously the secretary of the NE Division of the ADA. Dr Annika is currently the secretary for the division.
Braithwaite’s Family Dental continues to be a QIP accredited practice, for several years now. This means we have developed policies and governance to ensure quality assurance and infection control throughout our sterilisation procedures and dental treatments. Above all we want to establish your ongoing dental wellbeing. We do our utmost to make your visit pleasant and a sound basis for planning your continuing treatment and care.

Yes, we do. We offer both full and partial dentures, acrylic and metal frame, and dentures that are retained by implants or precision attachments to your remaining teeth. Denture design can critically affect your existing teeth so talk to our dentists to discuss the best options.
Our charges are priced according to the type of extraction. A simple extraction will start from $195. However a tooth may need additional care or even surgical removal. These are priced according to the complicating features. We will take x-ray images and discuss your options before proceeding.
Dental restorations are priced according to the type of material and the number of surface involved. A tooth is described like a box with up to five surfaces that may need repairing. A small simple filling will start from $150. Larger restorations requiring more time and material are priced according to item numbers that also allow you to claim increasing benefits from your health fund. After a dental exam, we can propose a treatment plan and calculate an estimate of charges.

Yes. We have a lovely Dental Therapist on our team who can treat children up to the age of 18. Megan Gollan is great with kids and very aware of how important dental education is to preventing dental problems, and has visited some of the preschools. So chances are your child may have already met her. In some cases a child may need to see our dentists who offer nitrous oxide sedation or laughing gas. We find this can be a very useful way of gradually acclimatising an anxious child to dental care.
Yes. Megan Gollan is also registered as a hygienist holding a Bachelor of Oral Health degree from the University of Newcastle. She can perform cleaning, scaling and preventive measures such as fissure sealing and fluoride treatment on all ages of patients. She also is great at educating her patients about their diet and home oral hygiene measures. Routine recall hygiene and appointments are a great way to keep your mouth fresh and should be scheduled with your regular dental exam.
Yes. We are able to provide a range of services for eligible patients who have received emergency or general care vouchers from the Hunter New England Health Service public dental clinic. If you are a health card holder or a pensioner please make your situation known to our staff and we can tailor a treatment plan to your requirements and discuss a discount.
