Platinum Dental Studio is centrally located in the Woolworths Marketplace at Albany Creek (Shop 13A, 5-15 Jagora Drive). The practice regularly serves families across North Brisbane, including Albany Creek, Bridgeman Downs, Aspley, McDowall, Eatons Hill, Bunya, and surrounding communities.
Platinum Dental Studio is open Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Short-notice emergency dental appointments are available daily to assist patients experiencing sudden dental pain or injury.
Your first visit and your ongoing 6-month preventative cleans serve slightly different purposes, but they follow the exact same $239 private health fund policy:
Your First Check-Up & Clean (The Initial Baseline):
Designed to give Dr. Monica Yee a complete, comprehensive view of your oral health, this thorough initial appointment is billed under the following ADA codes:
Item 011: Comprehensive Oral Examination
Item 114: Removal of Calculus (Scale and Clean)
Item 121: Topical Fluoride Application
Item 022 (x2): Diagnostic Intraoral X-rays (two dental films to check between the teeth)
Item 037: OPG (Panoramic) Full-Mouth X-ray (if clinically required to evaluate wisdom teeth or jaw structure)
This baseline package is completely Gap-Free if your health fund rebate covers at least $239 across these codes. If your fund pays less than $239, you simply pay the remaining difference (the "gap") to meet the $239 total.
Your Regular 6-Month Clean (Routine Maintenance):
Once your baseline is established, your routine 6-monthly visits focus on active prevention. These maintenance appointments are typically billed under simpler, everyday codes:
Item 012: Periodic Oral Examination
Item 114: Scale and Clean
Item 121: Topical Fluoride
Even if we need to take diagnostic X-rays (Item 022 or Item 037) to safely monitor your health, the same $239 policy applies. Your visit remains completely Gap-Free if your health fund covers $239 across the codes used. If your fund covers less than $239, you only pay the remaining gap to meet that $239 threshold—ensuring you never face unexpected or excessive fees. All insurance claims are processed instantly through our HICAPS terminal on-site for your convenience.
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please provide at least 48 hours’ notice. This allows us to offer your appointment time to another patient who may be waiting.
Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice, or missed without notice, will incur a $55 cancellation fee.

Yes, Platinum Dental Studio fully supports the Australian Government Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Eligible children aged 0–17 years can receive up to $1,158 in Medicare dental benefits over two years. The practice checks eligibility instantly on-site and processes the bulk-billed claim directly at the clinic.
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule at Platinum Dental Studio covers essential kids' dental care, including comprehensive dental check-ups, teeth cleaning, digital X-rays, fissure sealants, dental fillings, extractions and stainless steel crowns.
Our Albany Creek clinic is designed to be a warm, welcoming environment for children. Our team uses gentle communication, positive reinforcement, and a "tell-show-do" approach to explain treatments in a child-friendly way, helping nervous kids build confidence and feel completely safe in the dental chair.
Happy gas (inhalation sedation) is a safe, gentle, and fast-acting option used at Platinum Dental Studio to help anxious children relax during dental procedures. It is breathed in through a small, comfortable nose mask, wears off completely within minutes of switching to pure oxygen, and allows your child to remain fully awake and responsive throughout their visit.
Happy gas can generally be safely administered to children aged 4 and older, provided they are able to comfortably breathe through their nose and follow basic instructions from our dental team. Dr. Monica Yee and our experienced clinicians assess every child individually to ensure inhalation sedation is the right fit for their comfort and safety.
Happy gas highly elevates a child's pain threshold and creates a calm, floating sensation, significantly reducing physical discomfort and structural anxiety. For treatments like dental fillings or extractions, we use happy gas in combination with a local numbing gel to ensure the entire process is completely pain-free and stress-free.
Yes, absolutely. We highly encourage parents to stay in the treatment room with their children at our North Brisbane clinic. Having a familiar face nearby provides immense comfort to an anxious child and allows you to see firsthand how relaxed and comfortable they are while receiving their care.
If you want a permanent replacement for missing teeth that allows you to eat, speak, and smile without worry, dental implants are the gold standard. They function exactly like natural teeth. During your consultation at Platinum Dental Studio in Albany Creek, Dr. Monica Yee utilizes advanced 3D digital imaging to check your bone health and determine if implants are the safest, most durable option for your smile.
Yes! If you have missing teeth or are tired of loose, uncomfortable dentures, dental implants at Platinum Dental Studio offer a permanent, natural-looking solution. To ensure a successful treatment, you generally need healthy gums and sufficient jawbone. Our Principal Dentist, Dr. Monica Yee, uses advanced digital imaging and 3D scans at our Albany Creek clinic to evaluate your jaw health and design a custom, stable implant restoration.
Most adults with missing teeth who have good general health, healthy gums, and adequate jawbone density are excellent candidates for dental implants. Age is rarely a barrier! At Platinum Dental Studio, Dr. Monica Yee uses state-of-the-art 3D jaw scans to carefully assess your suitability and create a personalized, gentle treatment plan to restore your smile’s strength and confidence.
Yes, you can access your superannuation early for medically necessary dental treatments like permanent dental implants, root canals, crowns, or orthodontic braces if you are experiencing oral pain or distress. Platinum Dental Studio works alongside SuperCare to guide patients seamlessly through the early release of superannuation process.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how smooth the recovery is. For the first 24 to 48 hours, you can expect minor swelling and mild tenderness, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief (like paracetamol or ibuprofen) and ice packs. Most patients at Platinum Dental Studio comfortably return to light daily activities and work within 2 to 3 days of their procedure.
For the first few days after surgery, you should stick strictly to cool liquids and soft foods that don't require heavy chewing (such as smoothies, yoghurts, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, and cooled soups). It is highly important to avoid hot drinks, spicy foods, and using straws, as the suction can disturb the healing surgical site. You can gradually return to your normal diet as your gums heal over the next week.
While your gums will feel completely healed within 10 to 14 days, the deeper bone healing process (called osseointegration) takes between 3 to 6 months. During this time, your jawbone naturally fuses with the titanium implant to create a rock-solid foundation. Dr. Monica Yee will monitor this progress at our Albany Creek clinic using digital imaging before placing your permanent, custom porcelain crown.
We understand that fear of the dentist is incredibly common and can be a massive barrier to maintaining your health. At Platinum Dental Studio in Albany Creek, we actively work to make sure our most nervous patients feel completely safe and comfortable. We design personalized comfort plans for every individual using advanced behavioural management, gentle, pain-free dental techniques, and a full range of custom sedation options tailored directly to your needs.
Happy gas (inhalation sedation) involves breathing a sweet-smelling blend of two gases through a comfortable nose mask. It induces deep relaxation, relieves physical tension, and significantly eases feelings of anxiety. Happy gas is an exceptionally safe and effective tool; you remain fully conscious and able to communicate with our team throughout your visit, and the relaxing effects are completely eliminated from your body within minutes of the gas being turned off.
Yes, absolutely. Fear of needles is very common, which is why our Albany Creek clinic offers a highly effective topical numbing gel prior to any local anaesthetic injection. We apply this gentle gel directly to your gums beforehand to numb the area, ensuring you won't feel the needle glide in. If you have a phobia of dental needles, this is a fantastic way to enjoy a completely pain-free and comfortable experience.
Yes. For patients experiencing extreme, severe dental anxiety or undergoing complex surgical procedures, we can arrange for dental treatment under General Anaesthesia (GA). Because GA must be administered in a fully accredited hospital environment staffed with an independent specialist anaesthetist and support nurses, we will guide you through the process and refer you directly to a trusted local Brisbane surgery centre where you can complete your dental work in a deep, worry-free sleep.
If you are experiencing severe dental pain, a chipped tooth, a broken filling, or dental trauma, Platinum Dental Studio provides priority emergency dental care in Albany Creek. Patients from Eatons Hill, Aspley, and Bridgeman Downs can call (07) 3264 2757 to secure a short-notice, same-day appointment.
Yes, we provide clear aligner orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign, to discreetly straighten crooked, crowded, or spaced teeth. Using clean digital impressions from our intraoral scanner, we map out your customized alignment journey without the need for traditional metal braces.
Yes, we offer traditional wire orthodontic treatments provided by general dentist, including both standard metal braces and discreet clear ceramic braces, at our Albany Creek clinic. Traditional braces remain one of the most reliable and effective ways to correct complex bite issues, severe crowding, and misaligned teeth for both children and adults in North Brisbane.
Composite teeth bonding uses a tooth-colored resin applied directly to the tooth to fix minor chips or gaps in a single visit with minimal preparation. Porcelain veneers are custom-made shells crafted using advanced smile design software to fit over the front of the teeth, offering a highly durable, stain-resistant cosmetic transformation.
Traditional wire braces use low-profile brackets and archwires to continuously guide teeth into their correct positions, making them highly effective for complex structural alignment. Clear aligners like Invisalign use a series of removable, virtually invisible plastic trays to gradually straighten teeth, offering a highly discreet option best suited for mild to moderate alignment needs.
Most patients do not experience pain, but it is very common to feel a sensation of mild pressure or minor discomfort for the first few days after switching to a new set of clear aligners. This is actually a positive sign that your aligners are gently and effectively moving your teeth into their correct positions, and any minor tenderness will quickly fade on its own.
Our dentists utilise advanced clinical technology, including digital intraoral scanners, 3D imaging, and specialized smile design software. This allows us to map out a precise treatment plan that balances your teeth's shade, shape, and curvature with your natural gum height for a perfectly balanced aesthetic.
A gum lift (or cosmetic gum contouring) is a precise procedure designed to reshape uneven or excess gum tissue. By raising the gum line slightly, we expose more of your natural tooth structure, making your teeth appear longer and creating a more proportional, confident smile.
Platinum Dental Studio offers both rapid in-chair teeth whitening and professional at-home whitening tray systems for patients in the Aspley and Albany Creek areas. A pre-whitening dental check-up and clean are required first to ensure safe, pain-free, and long-lasting results.
While standard whitening works on the outer enamel, internal bleaching is used to lighten a single tooth that has discoloured from the inside out—often following root canal therapy. By placing a safe whitening agent directly inside the tooth structure, we can seamlessly match its shade back to the rest of your smile.
When performed by a qualified dental professional, teeth whitening is highly safe and effective. Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or immediately after the treatment, but this is completely normal and typically resolves within 48 hours. Professional whitening at Platinum Dental Studio is designed to safely lift stains without causing any damage to your tooth enamel.
The longevity of your whitening results typically varies from 6 months up to 2 or 3 years depending on individual lifestyle habits. Regular consumption of staining foods and drinks (such as coffee, tea, and red wine) or smoking will naturally cause the brightness to fade sooner. To help your bright smile last as long as possible, our Albany Creek clinic offers customized at-home maintenance trays.
