Dental fear affects nearly one in six Australian adults. Sleep dentistry offers a way to receive dental treatment under sedation, so the experience is comfortable and pain-free. One of the most common questions patients have is how much it costs.
The cost of sleep dentistry varies depending on the type of dental work being performed, the length of treatment, and the level of sedation required. At The Point Dental, we provide a clear, upfront quote before any treatment, so you know exactly what to expect. The sedation fee is also partially claimable through Medicare.
Payment Options
We offer several ways to make treatment accessible.
