  "content": "# Dental Check-up and Clean at Core Dental Bayside\n\nRegular dental check-ups are the foundation of lifelong oral health - and from June 2026, residents of Bentleigh, Brighton, Cheltenham and the surrounding Bayside corridor will have a Core Dental practice right on their doorstep.\n\n## Opening June 2026 - Bentleigh's New Local Dentist\n\nCore Dental Bayside will open at 973 Nepean Hwy, Bentleigh VIC 3204, bringing the Core Dental Group's trusted approach to preventive care to a community that has long lacked a group-quality dental practice nearby.\n\n## What Is Included in a Check-up and Clean?\n\nA comprehensive dental check-up at Core Dental Bayside covers:\n\n- **Full mouth examination** - teeth, gums, bite, soft tissues, jaw joint\n- **Oral cancer screening** - checking for any suspicious changes to the oral mucosa\n- **Digital X-rays** - detecting decay, bone changes, and issues invisible to the naked eye\n- **Intraoral photos** - a visual record and educational tool\n- **Professional scale and clean** - removal of plaque and calculus build-up above and below the gumline\n- **Polish** - stain removal and smooth finish\n- **Fluoride treatment** - protective fluoride application\n- **Oral hygiene advice** - personalised tips for your home care routine\n\nWe recommend a professional clean every 6 months. Many conditions - gum disease, early decay, oral cancer - show no symptoms until well advanced. Regular check-ups catch problems early, when treatment is simpler and less costly.\n\n## No-Gap Check-up for Eligible New Patients\n\nNew patients with eligible private health insurance may qualify for a no-gap check-up and clean, meaning no out-of-pocket cost for the complete initial appointment.\n\n## About Core Dental Bayside\n\nOur new Bentleigh practice will feature 5 surgeries (opening with 3 chairs), 8 dedicated ground-floor parking spaces, and extended weekday hours. Led by Dr Andres Aguirre, our team will be ready to welcome new patients from day one.\n\n**Opening Hours (from June 2026):**\nMonday to Friday: 8:00 am - 6:00 pm\nSaturday: 8:30 am - 1:30 pm\n\nHICAPS available for instant health fund claiming. Payright interest-free payment plans available. Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) bulk billing for eligible children aged 2-17. All clinicians AHPRA-registered and ADA members.\n\n## Register Your Interest\n\nBe among the first to book when Core Dental Bayside opens in June 2026.\n\n**Address:** 973 Nepean Hwy, Bentleigh VIC 3204\n**Phone:** 13 13 16\n**Email:** bayside@coredental.com.au\n**Website:** coredental.com.au\n\n*Your Local Dental Practice - coming to Bayside in June 2026.*\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\n**How often should I have a dental check-up?**\nThe Australian Dental Association recommends a professional check-up and clean every 6 months for most adults and children. Some patients with higher decay or gum disease risk may benefit from more frequent visits - your dentist will advise what is right for you.\n\n**What is included in a no-gap check-up?**\nEligible new patients with private health insurance can receive a no-gap comprehensive check-up including examination (011), X-rays (022), OPG panoramic X-ray, intraoral photos, oral cancer screening, occlusal analysis, and a scale and clean (114) - all with no out-of-pocket cost. Note: this offer cannot be combined with other promotions.\n\n**Do you bulk bill children?**\nYes - Core Dental accepts the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), which provides up to $1,026 in government-funded dental treatment for eligible children aged 2 to 17. This covers check-ups, X-rays, cleaning, fillings, extractions, and root canals. Check eligibility via MyGov (Medicare).\n\n**Can I book for my whole family in one visit?**\nYes - we encourage family appointment blocks. This is especially convenient for busy parents who want to bring their children at the same time. Call 13 13 16 to arrange back-to-back family appointments.",
