We get the FIFO lifestyle
The South West is home to hundreds of FIFO workers who fly to mine sites across Western Australia. When you're working two weeks on and one week off — or any variation — the last thing you want is dental issues holding you back, either on site or during your precious time at home.
At Australind Dental Centre, we work around your schedule, not the other way around. Many of our patients are FIFO workers living in Australind, Eaton, Treendale, Bunbury and the surrounding area. We understand the time pressure of R&R and we'll prioritise getting your treatment done efficiently so you're ready for your next swing.
Making the most of your time off
We know your break goes fast. That's why we offer:
- Flexible scheduling — tell us your roster dates and we'll book appointments that work for you, including early and late appointments where possible
- Efficient treatment planning — if you need multiple treatments, we'll plan them around your swing dates to minimise visits
- Priority rebooking — if your roster changes, let us know and we'll reschedule without fuss
- Comprehensive single visits — where clinically appropriate, we'll combine treatments into fewer appointments so you get more done in less time
Dental services for FIFO workers
Whether you need a quick check-up or something more involved, we offer the full range:
- General dentistry — examinations, cleans, fillings and preventative care to keep you right on site
- Cosmetic dentistry — teeth whitening and smile improvements
- Dental implants — permanent tooth replacement planned around your roster
- All-on-X implants — full-arch restoration
- Crowns and bridges — restoring damaged teeth
- Dentures — full and partial options
- Root canal treatment — saving teeth before they become an emergency on site
- Oral surgery and wisdom teeth — timed so you recover during R&R
- Emergency dentistry — urgent care before you fly back
Dental issues before you fly out?
A toothache on site is the last thing you need — remote site medical teams can only do so much for dental problems, and getting medevaced for a tooth is expensive and disruptive. If you have any dental concerns before your next swing, call us on 08 9725 8812 and we'll get you seen as quickly as possible.
We also recommend regular check-ups during your breaks to catch problems early, before they become emergencies 1,500 kilometres from the nearest dentist.
Payment options that help
We accept all major health funds and offer flexible payment options including Fund My Dental interest-free payment plans. We'll also help you maximise your health fund benefits by spreading treatment across calendar years where it makes sense.
