Websites for Perth dental practices, from a single surgery in Joondalup to a group with rooms on both sides of the river, set out so an HBF member can see what their cover pays for, a patient holding a Dental Health Services voucher knows to ring rather than book online, and someone with a swollen jaw on a Sunday finds a number that will answer.
Perth patients pick a dentist on the usual things: how close the practice is, how soon they can be seen, and what's left to pay once their fund has paid its share. Two things are peculiar to Western Australia. HBF runs a preferred dental network that only WA practices can join, and the state's public dental service sends some of its waiting-list patients to private dentists with a voucher. A Perth site should explain both clearly, without muddling one with the other.
HBF lets practices in its Member Plus dental network promote themselves as an HBF Member Plus Dental Practice, and their dentists as HBF Member Plus Dental Providers, so the site uses exactly that wording. Then it says what the label means: fees for the diagnostic and preventative items in HBF's Dental Schedule are capped at the schedule, and eligible members get one fully covered scale and clean each calendar year. Fillings, crowns and everything else are charged at your usual fees, and the fees page says so plainly.
If you treat patients under the Metropolitan Patients' Dental Subsidy Scheme, one short page explains how it works at your practice. The patient brings the Authority (voucher) Dental Health Services sent them, fees follow the Department of Veterans' Affairs dental schedule, and at each visit they pay the share shown on their General Treatment Authority form, either 25% or 50%. The page also covers the limit: treatment beyond the voucher's value is paid in full by the patient, or you refer them back to a public clinic.
The emergency section opens with your own arrangements: same-day slots, any Saturday session, and what time someone answers the phone. Below that go the public options a Perth reader can use when you're closed. WA Health's Smiling Starts site points families to the Dental Health Services after-hours advice line, 1800 098 818, which runs from 6.30pm to 8am every day, and to 000 or an emergency department if a child has trouble breathing, becomes unresponsive or is getting quickly worse.
Perth children can have free general dental care at a school Dental Therapy Centre from pre-primary until the end of Year 11, if their school is recognised by the Department of Education. A private children's page therefore has to say what you add: appointments after school or in the holidays, whether you bulk bill eligible children under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, what to do about a knocked-out tooth at the weekend, and orthodontic assessment, which the school service refers elsewhere.
Ahpra says words such as “specialist” or “specialises in” imply specialist registration and are likely to mislead when the practitioner doesn't hold it, while “substantial experience in” is less likely to. A general dentist who fits clear aligners or sees a lot of children is described by the care they provide, not as an orthodontist or a paediatric dentist, and a visiting specialist is named with the specialty shown on the public register.
Private and health fund patients get a Book Online button that opens HotDoc, HealthEngine or the online booking built into your dental software. Voucher holders and people in pain get the phone number, because a voucher's expiry date and value need checking before an appointment is set, and urgency is your call, not a form's. If you'd rather have booking built into the site itself, we quote that for your practice. Every time on the page is Perth time, as WA doesn't change its clocks.
Someone weighing up implants or veneers wants to know how they can pay, so list what you accept: cards, HICAPS on the day, and any buy now, pay later product you take. Ahpra's guidelines for non-surgical cosmetic procedures, issued on 2 September 2025, say practitioners must not offer, promote or recommend financing schemes such as loans or commercial payment plans for those procedures, though naming accepted payment methods is allowed. Where any payment plan wording goes is your decision; we place it where you choose and link to the provider's terms.
Dental practitioners in WA are registered nationally through Ahpra and the Dental Board of Australia, so the advertising rules on our main dentists page (no testimonials about clinical care, conditions on before-and-after photos, specialist titles only for registered specialists) apply to a Perth practice unchanged, and our guide to Ahpra's advertising rules goes through them in detail. Complaints are where WA has its own body. The Health and Disability Services Complaints Office (HaDSCO) accepts complaints about health services and individual health care workers, registered or not, and for a registered practitioner it consults Ahpra to decide which agency should handle the matter; our Perth allied health page explains how that works. The Dental Board's registrant data for April to June 2026 counts 3,366 dental practitioners whose principal place of practice is WA, 2,369 of them in the dentist division alone, plus 73 specialist registrations in orthodontics and 26 in paediatric dentistry.
Public dental care in the state is run by Dental Health Services (DHS), whose head office is at Salter Point. Its General Dental Service is for Western Australians with a current Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, along with children up to four named on a parent's card. Non-urgent patients join a waiting list, fees follow the DVA dental schedule, and the subsidy is up to 75%, set by the patient's Centrelink income. The School Dental Service gives free general care from pre-primary to the end of Year 11 but doesn't offer specialist work such as orthodontics or oral surgery, which it refers out. On weekends and public holidays the Oral Health Centre of WA runs an emergency clinic for eligible patients over 16 in E Block at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital from 2pm to 5pm, booked by phone between 1.30pm and 4.30pm. Under-16s are sent to Perth Children's Hospital, which says on its own site that it doesn't provide routine dental care for children.
When funding is available, DHS also runs the Metropolitan Patients' Dental Subsidy Scheme (MPDSS), and a country version, the CPDSS. Eligible patients are issued an Authority with an expiry date and a nominated total treatment value, which they take to a participating private dentist; someone needing urgent care can get one from a public clinic or the DHS Subsidy Department. Participating practitioners must charge by the DVA fee schedule, and DHS says patients shouldn't receive any additional accounts for scheme items. Treatment over the voucher limit is the patient's to pay in full, implants aren't available under the scheme, and if a patient needs an interpreter the practice arranges one at the appointment and DHS pays for it. A practice that takes these patients should say so in those terms and give the Subsidy Department's number, 9313 0660, for questions about a particular voucher.
One health fund arrangement is specific to WA: HBF's Member Plus dental network, which accepts applications only from practices located in Western Australia, with no cap on how many join, but every practitioner there who provides HBF's minimum services must sign the agreement and the practice must claim electronically. Specialists such as periodontists can't join, though having one on staff doesn't rule a practice out. Member Plus practices are listed in HBF's Find a Health Provider directory, and HBF also runs its own HBF Dental service, which it says is only available in Western Australia. If you're in the network, your fees page is where members will check it; if you aren't, say which funds you claim through by HICAPS so nobody has to ring and ask.
Patients search by suburb rather than by city: a dentist in Ellenbrook or Baldivis, an emergency dentist near Cannington, a children's dentist in Fremantle. One location page per real address, with parking and the nearest train station or bus stop, matches those searches honestly. We're an Adelaide team and work with Perth practices by phone and email, 90 minutes ahead of you, or two and a half hours while South Australia is on daylight saving. We haven't built a dental site, and none of our current clients are in WA.
Neither is a dental practice, and neither is in Western Australia. Dr Tabara Dione's site sets out a doctor's credentials and puts online booking on every page; Phoenix Housekeeping publishes its prices for anyone to read. Credentials, booking and fees are the three things a Perth patient checks before choosing a dentist.
Confidential coaching for doctors, led by a Melbourne specialist anaesthetist. Her about page lays out qualifications in plain terms and a discovery call can be booked from any page, the same pairing a dentists page and a Book Online button make.

A family-run cleaning business covering Lake Macquarie, Cessnock and the Central Coast, with pricing published on the site, suburb pages and a quote form that offers a discreet call-back. A dental fees page does a similar job with check-up, clean and HBF Member Plus details.

HBF lets Member Plus practices promote themselves as an HBF Member Plus Dental Practice and their practitioners as HBF Member Plus Dental Providers, so we use that wording rather than a homemade badge. Then add what it covers: capped fees on the diagnostic and preventative items in HBF's Dental Schedule, one fully covered scale and clean a calendar year for eligible members, and no gap on preventative care for members on the highest extras cover, up to their annual limit. Other treatment is at your normal fees. Check the details against HBF's dental FAQs for providers (opens in a new tab) before launch.
Only if you're a participating practice, and then on its own short page. DHS says the scheme operates when funding is available, so the page says you accept DHS Authorities rather than promising appointments, asks patients to ring with their voucher and General Treatment Authority form to hand, and gives the DHS Subsidy Department's number, 9313 0660, for questions you can't answer. If the scheme pauses, changing the page is a text update covered by the $30 monthly hosting.
Your own arrangements first: when the phones open, whether you keep emergency slots, and any Saturday hours. Then the public options: the Dental Health Services after-hours advice line on 1800 098 818, from 6.30pm to 8am, and 000 or the nearest emergency department for trouble breathing or anyone getting quickly worse. For parents, WA Health's Smiling Starts page on emergency dental care (opens in a new tab) is worth linking. We set it out in your words, and you check every number before it goes live.
Only if she holds specialist registration in orthodontics, which the Ahpra register would show. Ahpra's guidance is that words such as “specialist” or “specialises in” imply specialist registration, and that phrases like “substantial experience in” are less likely to mislead. So her bio describes the treatment she provides, and a visiting orthodontist is named with the registered specialty. We lay out the wording you choose; Ahpra's advertising guidance and your indemnity insurer are where to check it.
