General Dentistry
Check-ups, cleans, fillings, extractions and preventive care for regular visits or new concerns that need to be assessed.

You may be due for a check-up, have a tooth that has started to hurt, or simply not know what to book. Tell reception at South Perth, Hamilton Hill or Forrestfield what has changed. Your dentist will examine, explain what they find and talk through your choices before any treatment is planned.
You do not need to know the name of the treatment before you contact us. Start by telling us what has been bothering you, what you would like checked or how long it has been since your last visit. We will listen, assess the situation and explain the options before anything is planned.

A dental visit can feel more manageable when you know what will be checked, why it matters and what choices you have. We take time to explain the findings and the practical next step before treatment begins.
Choose the area that seems closest to what you need. If you are still unsure, call reception and describe what you have noticed - we will help you choose an appropriate appointment.
Start with what you have noticed - pain, sensitivity, bleeding gums, a broken tooth, missing teeth or something about your smile you would like to discuss. You do not need to work out the diagnosis before booking.
Getting to know the person providing your care may help you feel more prepared for an appointment. Explore the team profiles, or call reception to ask who may be suitable and available for your appointment.
Choose South Perth, Hamilton Hill or Forrestfield based on where you live and the appointment you need. Each clinic has its own contact details and schedule, so reception can confirm the right location before you book.
For each clinic's address, hours and phone number, open the South Perth clinic page, the Hamilton Hill clinic page or the Forrestfield clinic page.
Good dental care is not only about the procedure. It is also about understanding what has been found, what the choices involve and what you need to know before moving forward.
Signature Dental can process claims for many health funds and currently notes HBF and nib preferred-provider arrangements, with HCF preferred-provider information for Forrestfield. Rebates and out-of-pocket costs depend on your policy, treatment and annual limits.
If you are thinking about spreading a cost over time, ask once your dentist has explained the care and the fee. Humm decides eligibility, fees, limits and repayment terms.
Wondering whether Zip Pay or Zip Money could suit a planned fee? Ask reception after your dentist gives an estimate. Zip decides approval, account fees, limits and repayment terms.
Thinking about Afterpay for part of an appointment cost? Ask the clinic what can be processed, then read Afterpay's eligibility and repayment terms before you decide.
If your treatment plan runs to several stages, ask about Fund My Dental once the fees are clear. The provider decides approval, lending terms and eligibility.
Are you with HCF and thinking of Forrestfield? HCF preferred-provider information may apply there. Your rebate and out-of-pocket costs still depend on your policy, item numbers and limits.
Wondering whether superannuation could help with dental treatment? SuperCare may help eligible patients apply for early release for approved dental treatment. Check approval, tax implications and eligibility with the provider.

If a dentist suggests a scan, it is fair to ask why. Our South Perth clinic uses digital scanning, in-house CBCT imaging, nitrous oxide and soft-tissue laser technology where clinically appropriate.
These tools can support assessment, treatment planning and clearer explanations. Your dentist will say why a scan is being suggested, and you can ask questions before agreeing to it.
Yes. Signature Dental welcomes new patients across South Perth, Forrestfield and Hamilton Hill. When you contact us, tell reception whether you are booking a routine visit, a specific concern or something urgent. They can help you choose the appointment type and clinic contact number. Your first visit is a chance to discuss what has brought you in, complete an examination where appropriate and understand the possible next steps before treatment is planned.
You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself. Describe what you have noticed, for example pain, sensitivity, swelling, a damaged tooth, bleeding gums or a cosmetic concern, and reception can guide you towards an appropriate appointment. For pain, swelling, trauma or a knocked-out tooth, call the clinic rather than relying only on online booking so the team can check urgency and appointment availability.
Bring your health fund card or membership details when you visit, and the team can check whether a claim can be processed for your appointment. Signature Dental patients can ask about HBF and nib preferred-provider arrangements, while Forrestfield patients can ask about HCF. Your rebate still depends on your own policy, limits and the item numbers for the treatment, so ask us to check the expected out-of-pocket cost before treatment begins.
Payment options you can ask about include Humm, Zip Pay, Zip Money, Afterpay and Fund My Dental. SuperCare, CDBS and DVA arrangements may also be relevant for eligible patients and treatments. Each option has its own eligibility rules, fees, limits and approval process. The team can explain what is available after the treatment plan and costs are known.

Bring your health fund details, a current medication list and any relevant medical or dental information you have. Let the team know if you are in pain, feel anxious about dental visits or have a particular tooth or concern you would like checked. Arriving a little early can give you time to complete new-patient details. If you are unsure whether something is relevant, mention it when booking or bring it with you.
