Complimentary Consultation

The complimentary consultation is only applicable for new patients only who are interested in orthodontic treatment which is inclusive of a comprehensive examination but does not involve diagnosis or assessment of any dental conditions or X-RAYS. This is specifically for a consultation appointment only in which the patients can discuss their concerns and have a broad idea of their orthodontic treatment options and available resolutions. It may also include taking photographs of the teeth. Further examination, cleans, radiographs or associated structures which will have to be at another appointment and will involve normal practice fees. Appointment times can vary between 30 to 90 minutes depending on what is required. We cannot guarantee a conclusive time frame for each patient and/or each appointment. Vogue Dental Studios charge $220 for cosmetic consultation appointments. This is applicable to use towards any cosmetic treatment you choose to go ahead with, however, the chosen treatment can not be done on the same day as your consultation appointment.

Invisalign quotes are valid for 6 months only. If your quote is from a promotion, the quote is only valid until the promotion ends.

Invisalign Add-on Packages

Vogue Dental Studios’ Prolong Your Smile Packages are a one-time offer, valid for patients proceeding with either Invisalign or orthodontic treatment. The total cost must be paid in full prior to starting your treatment. The total cost may be put on a payment plan if needed. If you have purchased the x2 clean package and choose to upgrade to the x4 clean package, you may do so only within 3 months of purchase.

Cleans are not transferable to any other patient; however, in-chair whitening treatment is transferable if you choose not to have it yourself. Each clean must be used within 12 months of purchase to be valid or they will be forfeited. Reminder text messages/emails or phone calls may be sent but it is the responsibility of the patient to call and book in an appointment time. Clean appointments can vary from 30-60 minutes. In-chair whitening appointments are approximately 1.5 hours. We cannot guarantee a conclusive time frame for each patient or each appointment.

Responsible Aesthetics

Vogue Dental Studios firmly believe in responsible aesthetics. Every cosmetic and reconstructive, medical or dental procedure, both invasive and non-invasive, have their inherent risks and benefits. Results shown may vary from individual to individual. Each patient will require a thorough examination and consultation for a personalized and private treatment plan and/or treatment suggestion(s). Please feel free to discuss this with your health professional prior to commencing any treatment.

Making informed decisions is critical for long-term success. Vogue Dental Studios will try our best to be transparent and informative throughout your entire experience. We strictly keep the privacy and confidentiality of every client as our top priority. Patient information and images that are shared are presented with the full consent of our clients. Every individual is unique and every case has exclusive aspects. Because of this, no two dental or medical procedure or treatment will have the exact same results – even if patients are fairly similar and even if the procedures are performed with the exact same method.
