Frequently Asked Questions

If a tooth is knocked out, is the replanting procedure always successful?
Clinical success depends heavily on the “extra-oral” time—the duration the tooth is out of the socket. Statistics indicate that teeth replanted within 30 to 60 minutes have the highest chance of survival. However, long-term success is not guaranteed, as the tooth may eventually undergo “root resorption” (where the body slowly breaks down the root) or become fused to the bone (ankylosis). Regular follow-up appointments are mandatory to monitor the health of the replanted tooth.

Emergency fees generally cover the clinical triage, diagnostic imaging, and the immediate palliative treatment. For private health insurance purposes, common ADA Item Numbers used during these visits include 013 (Limited oral examination), 022 (Individual X-ray), and 419 (Emergency extirpation of the pulp/nerve). 

Important Information

All dental procedures carry inherent risks and may not be suitable for every individual. A comprehensive consultation with an Australian-registered dental practitioner is mandatory to assess your clinical suitability and confirm the most appropriate treatment options for your specific needs. Outcomes and healing processes vary between patients, and the information provided here is general in nature. It does not replace a professional dental assessment, diagnosis, or personalised treatment plan. Our team provides comprehensive clinical care, with individual practitioners focusing on specific areas of interest within the scope of dental practice.
