Very modern clinic with great infrastructure. The X-ray setup is impressive they take so many photos and scans you start wondering if you accidentally signed up for a Colgate commercial. Maribelle is a great dentist, incredibly gentle, to the point I barely felt a thing. Jokes aside, everything feels thorough, professional, and well explained. Solid experience.Posted on Google![]()

Dental Offers & Promotions — Engadine
We believe great dental care should feel clear, approachable, and easier to access for local families. That is why we offer practical ways to get started, stay on top of preventive care, and manage treatment costs with more confidence.

No Gap New Patient Offer
Our New Patient Offer makes the first step easier for eligible patients, with a no out-of-pocket first check-up and clean through any health fund, or the same comprehensive first visit for $199 without private health, giving new patients a clear starting point, dedicated time with the dentist, and a better understanding of their oral health from the beginning.

No Gap Kids Check-Ups & Cleans
Children under 18 with private health cover for dental care can access no-gap check-ups and cleans every six months, while self-funded kids check-ups and cleans start from $50, making it easier for families to stay on top of their child’s oral health and also check whether they may be eligible for CDBS support.

To make preventive care easier to maintain after the first visit, ongoing six-monthly check-ups and cleans are capped at a $50 gap or less with any health fund, while patients without private health cover can book ongoing check-ups and cleans for $199.

Flexible Payment Options
Alongside our current offers, we also provide flexible payment options to help make treatment more manageable, and our team is here to explain your cover, your likely costs, and the most practical next step before you book.
