Frequently Asked Questions

    Do you offer payment plans?

        We understand that the expense of visiting the dentist can often deter patients so to help our patients maintain a healthy smile, we do offer payment plans which can be organised with Dr Didaskalu and our friendly front office staff. For more information regarding payment plans please call our office on 03 5333 1988.

Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I whiten or bleach my teeth?

        We offer a take-home teeth whitening system which involves fitting small personalised mouthguards which are worn overnight in combination with our bleaching solution. Dr Didaskalu has found this system to be very effective, especially on patients with a more yellow shade to their teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I pronounce your name?

        Listening to the different pronunciations is always fun for Dr Didaskalu and the team. It is spelt: Didaskalu and pronounced Dee-das-carloo. Just say it 5-10 times and you’ll be set for life.

Frequently Asked Questions

    What if I have not been to the dentist for years?

        This is common and usually for good reason, often because of a bad experience at some point in the past. Please help us to understand your situation and we will help to get your teeth back on track and into a healthy condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

    How much will my dental treatment be?

        The cost of dental treatments will depend on a range of factors. So that we can give you a more precise quote on any treatment needed, an initial examination is recommended. Here we can discuss with you all possible options and find the right one for you before putting together a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
