100% DENTAL COVERAGE FOR YOUR CHILD AT HORNSBY DENTAL.
(BUPA MEMBERS)
Regular check-ups and maintenance for your child is a vital component in promoting exceptional oral health long into their future. At Hornsby Dental we pride ourselves on giving each child the best chance of developing a healthy and bright smile.
We know that preventing decay and gum disease begins at an early age, and teaching your child how to practice good home oral care is pivotal in developing healthy oral habits long into the future. This is why we provide expert advice and a take home dental plan individualised for each child by one of our friendly dentists experienced in treating children.
If you’re a member of BUPA your child may be covered for all dental fees at Hornsby Dental. Check with your health fund regarding your coverage, and call (02) 8090 1100 to make an appointment today.
We believe that a child’s early experiences at the dentist shape their attitude toward oral health for life. That’s why we design every moment of your child’s visit to be as gentle, engaging, and predictable as possible. Our team takes time to explain each step, listen to concerns and discuss ways to manage anxiety during dental care.
Hornsby Dental looks after the whole family, from a child’s first visit to grandparents’ check-ups. Parents can book back-to-back appointments so everyone is seen in one trip, including on Saturdays from 8:30am to 4pm.
We’re at Suite 21, 14 Edgeworth David Avenue, about three minutes’ walk from Hornsby Station, with free street parking nearby. New patients can have a check-up and clean for $219, or No Gap with eligible health fund extras — see our new patient offer.
Our team welcomes your family with open arms, helping your child feel secure the moment you arrive. We introduce our team and explain the day's visit using clear, child-friendly concepts, turning a routine appointment into a positive, predictable experience that eases any lingering nerves.
Our team carries out a gentle, highly precise assessment of your child’s developing smile. By utilising the popular "Tell-Show-Do" technique, we educate your child about their teeth in a fun, non-threatening way. This turns a routine clinical examination into an educational and enjoyable milestone, keeping anxiety entirely at bay.
When appropriate, our team will gently remove plaque buildup to safeguard your child's developing teeth. By utilising ultra-quiet, slow-speed instruments and a selection of pleasant-tasting polishing pastes, we ensure the entire process feels like a breeze, reinforcing a positive association with routine preventive dental care.
To keep cavities at bay, we offer highly effective preventative treatments customised to your child's unique smile. From topical fluoride treatments that significantly strengthen enamel to protective fissure sealants that seal off the deep, hard-to-clean grooves of new molars, our goal is to build a strong foundation that prevents decay before it can start.
We wrap up every visit on a high note, showering your child with positive reinforcement to celebrate a job well done and boost their confidence for next time. To support you at home, our team provides practical, stress-free tips on effective brushing and flossing techniques, tooth-friendly dietary choices, and creative ways to make daily oral hygiene a fun family routine.

We recommend a first visit when the first tooth appears or by your child’s first birthday. Early visits help children get comfortable at the dentist and let us spot problems early.
Most children benefit from a check-up and clean every six months.
Fissure seals are a thin protective coating on the grooves of back teeth that helps prevent decay. They range from $50 to $100 per tooth. See our price list.
Keep the language positive, read a book about visiting the dentist, and let us know if your child is nervous – we take a gentle, unhurried approach. Saturday appointments are available.
