Our Commitment to Clear, Fair Care

At Teethbytwo – Endodontist Perth, we believe trust is built through clarity.

This page explains how we protect your privacy, communicate with you, manage appointments, and set fair expectations — so you always know where you stand.

These policies exist to support safe, respectful specialist care for our patients while allowing our clinical team to provide focused, evidence-based treatment.


What This Page Covers

This page outlines how we manage:

  • Privacy and confidentiality

  • Communication with you

  • Access to clinical records

  • Consent, fees, and treatment expectations

  • Appointments, confirmations, and cancellations

  • Deposits and payments

  • Mutual respect and conduct

  • Feedback, concerns, and complaints


Privacy & Confidentiality

Your privacy is important to us. We collect, use, and store personal and health information only to:

  • Provide specialist endodontic care

  • Manage appointments and treatment

  • Communicate with you about your care

  • Meet legal, regulatory, and professional obligations

Your information may be shared with other healthcare providers involved in your care (such as your referring dentist), diagnostic services, insurers, or regulatory bodies where required by law.

We use secure systems and restrict access to authorised staff only.


Communication With You

We may contact you by phone, SMS, or email regarding appointments, treatment information, follow-up care, or administrative matters.

Call Recording

Telephone calls to and from our clinic may be recorded for quality assurance, accuracy, training, and compliance purposes. By continuing a call with our clinic, you consent to this recording. If you prefer not to have calls recorded, you may contact us by email instead.

Communication Boundaries

Email, SMS, and phone communications are for administrative and general information purposes only.
Clinical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations are not provided outside of booked consultations.


Access to Clinical Records

You have the right to request access to copies of your patient-accessible clinical records.

These may include consultation notes, reports, correspondence, and diagnostic records relevant to your care. Original clinical records remain the property of the practice.

Some internal notes created for clinical governance, risk management, quality assurance, or practice administration are not part of the patient-accessible clinical record and are not routinely released.

A reasonable administrative fee may apply for preparing, copying, or sending records, particularly where requests are repeated or extensive. Any applicable fee will be explained before records are released.

With your written consent, records may be provided directly to another healthcare practitioner involved in your care.


Consent, Fees & Treatment Outcomes

Before any treatment, we take time to explain:

  • The recommended options

  • Risks and benefits

  • Alternatives (where appropriate)

  • Expected fees and item numbers

This allows you to make informed decisions about your care.

Diagnostic Investigations

Some diagnostic procedures (such as radiographs or CBCT imaging) may be essential to establish a safe and accurate diagnosis.
If recommended investigations are declined, this may limit or prevent definitive diagnosis, treatment planning, or treatment provision.

Treatment Outcomes

Healthcare outcomes vary due to biological, anatomical, and clinical factors. While we provide evidence-based specialist care, no treatment outcome can be guaranteed. Prognosis and expectations will always be discussed as part of informed consent.


Fees, Estimates & Payment

Any fee ranges or estimates provided before a consultation are indicative only and subject to change following clinical assessment and diagnostic findings.

A personalised treatment plan with itemised costs will be provided after your specialist consultation.

Payment

Accounts are required to be settled on the day of service, unless otherwise agreed in writing prior to the appointment.


Deposits

Some appointments may require a deposit to secure specialist clinical time, equipment, and preparation.

  • Deposits are applied to the consultation or treatment fee on the day of service

  • Deposits are fully refundable if cancelled with more than 7 days’ notice

  • Cancellations within 7 days may result in forfeiture of the deposit

We reserve the right to amend deposit requirements as needed.


Appointments, Confirmations & Specialist Time

Specialist appointments require careful pre-planning and dedicated clinical time.

Appointment Confirmation

Appointments may require active confirmation by SMS or email.
Failure to confirm within the requested timeframe may be treated as a cancellation, and the appointment may be released to another patient without further notice.

Cancellations & Rescheduling

We kindly request at least 7 days’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule.

  • Late cancellations or missed appointments may incur a fee

  • Repeated short-notice cancellations or non-attendance may affect future booking availability


Mutual Respect & Conduct

We are committed to providing care in a respectful, professional, and safe environment.

We ask that patients treat our team with courtesy and respect. Abusive, threatening, or inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated and may result in discontinued care.

Where care is discontinued due to conduct concerns, reasonable notice and referral options will be provided where clinically appropriate.


Feedback, Concerns & Complaints

We welcome feedback and encourage open communication.

If you have questions or concerns about your care or these policies, please contact our team so we can assist you respectfully and confidentially.

Formal complaints may also be directed to the appropriate external bodies listed below.
