New to Enamel & Mint? Start with a comprehensive 60-minute check-up and clean, including dental photography, a 3D digital scan and x-rays where needed, giving us, and you, an honest and clear picture of where things stand.

*New patients only. Subject to availability and must be booked and completed by 30 November 2026. Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer, promotion, or discount.

What’s Included?

Most check-ups only show you part of the picture.

Ours does more.

Your first appointment is a chance to get to know each other. It’s also a great time to get a clear understanding of your teeth and gums. Using dental photography, digital scans and x-rays where needed, we go beyond your standard clean to build a detailed record of your oral health from day one. This gives us something solid to refer back to and compare at future visits.

And that information isn’t just for us. We’ll share what we see and point out anything that needs attention or is worth keeping an eye on. If treatment is recommended, you’ll have a clear understanding why and the chance to chat through your options before deciding what happens next.

So, whether it’s been six months or six years since your last visit, you’ll get an honest and complete look at where things stand today, ready for a fresh start.

A “Hello”, from Dr Lillian

Dr Lillian Waterland
Principal Dentist & Owner
Bachelor of Dental Science (Hons), University of Queensland

Choosing a new dentist is a big decision, and I want your first visit to Enamel & Mint to feel simple from the moment you walk through the door.

As an Indooroopilly local, raising two boys at Ambrose Treacy College, I understand first hand what matters when it comes to looking after your family’s smile. For me, prevention is at the heart of good dentistry. I’d much rather help you avoid a filling than give you one.

When you visit us, you can expect gentle hands, unhurried appointments, and honest, straightforward advice. If you’re nervous, we’ll take things slowly. And if you’re bringing in your little one for their very first visit, we’ll do everything we can to make it such a positive experience that coming back next time feels easy.

Most of all, I want Enamel & Mint to be somewhere you can build a relationship with your dentist and know you’re being genuinely looked after. That’s what dental care done right means to me.

I can’t wait to meet you.

A Fresh Start
Looks Different for Everyone.

There’s no single reason for choosing a new dentist. Maybe it’s been a while, you’ve just moved nearby or there’s something you’d like checked. Whatever brings you in, your first visit gives us the time to get to know you and your teeth properly.

It’s Been a While

Six months, six years or somewhere in between? No lectures here. We’ll start with how your teeth and gums are looking now, talk through anything that needs a little TLC and help you get back into a routine that works for you.

You’ve Just Moved to the Area

New neighbourhood, new dentist. Your Advanced Check-Up gives us a detailed record of your teeth from the beginning, including scans, photographs and X-rays where needed, so we have a useful baseline to refer back to at future visits.

You Like to Know Before You Decide

We get it. Dr Lillian will show you your photographs, scans and X-rays and explain what she sees in plain English. If treatment is recommended, we’ll talk through your options and provide the costs in writing before anything goes ahead.

Something Just Doesn’t Feel Quite Right

A twinge when you drink something cold? Gums bleeding when you brush? A tooth feeling a little different? You don’t need to work out what it is before you come in. Tell us what you’ve noticed and we’ll take a closer look.

You’re Nervous About Visiting the Dentist

You won’t be the first person to tell us that. Let us know when you book and we’ll take things at your pace, explain what we’re doing as we go and give you all the time you need. If you want us to stop at any point, just raise your hand.

You’re Thinking About Teeth Whitening

If you’re new to Enamel & Mint, we recommend starting with a check-up and clean before whitening. We’ll check that your teeth and gums are suitable for whitening and record your natural tooth shade while we’re at it.

Five Steps.
A Full 60 Minutes. Nothing Rushed.

From hello to that freshly-cleaned feeling, here’s what to expect from your Advanced Check-Up + Clean at Enamel & Mint.

1. Let's Start With a Chat.

Once you’re comfy, we’ll talk through your dental history, anything that’s been bothering you and what you’d like us to take a closer look at. Big concern or little niggle, we want to hear about it.

2. Time for a Really Good Look.

Next, we’ll check your teeth, gums and overall oral health, supported by a 3D digital scan, dental photography and tooth shade assessment. We’ll also take two intra-oral X-rays and, where necessary, a full jaw X-ray (OPG) to help us see what isn’t visible during your examination.

3. Hello, Dentist-Fresh Feeling.

Then it’s time for your professional clean. We’ll gently remove plaque and hardened tartar, polish your teeth and finish with a fluoride treatment. We can also talk through your brushing, flossing and anything else that may help keep your teeth healthy between visits.

4. See What We See.

This is the bit we think really matters. Dr Lillian will take you through your scans, photos and X-rays, showing you what looks healthy, anything worth keeping an eye on and anything that may need attention. No confusing dental speak. Just a clear picture of where things stand.

5. Know What Comes Next.

If everything looks great, fantastic. If treatment is recommended, we’ll explain why, answer your questions and talk through your options. You’ll receive the costs in writing before anything goes ahead, giving you time to decide what feels right for you.

Simple Ways to Pay for Your Dental Care.

We like to keep things simple and clear, including when it comes to payment. With on-the-spot health fund claiming and flexible ways to pay, you’ll know your options upfront and can choose what works best for you.

*Subject to provider approval.

All Health Funds Accepted,
On-the-Spot Claims
