Choose the next step for your jaw concern
I want to discuss appearance
You can book to discuss lower face width, a side difference or a change you notice with jaw movement. The jaw muscle assessment guide explains the questions behind these concerns. An appointment does not establish that treatment is needed.
I have pain or grinding concerns
A cosmetic appointment does not replace dental or medical care. Healthdirect advises people with symptoms of teeth grinding to speak with a dentist or doctor. Read Healthdirect’s teeth grinding guidance and the care boundaries below before choosing a cosmetic appointment.
I am still deciding what to learn about
If you are unsure whether your question concerns jaw muscle, the chin or another part of the lower face, explore the consultation options first. You do not need to choose a treatment to read about a concern.
Dental and medical care come first when needed
Bring dental advice, mouthguard use, tooth wear, bite changes, jaw joint history, recent dental work and symptoms where relevant. Cosmetic consultation does not diagnose these concerns or replace dental and medical care.
Not for a routine cosmetic booking:
People with urgent dental, medical, infection, pain or jaw symptoms who need appropriate medical or dental care.
Explain any symptoms and existing dental advice when contacting the clinic. The purpose of this appointment is cosmetic assessment, not a promise to resolve grinding, pain or a jaw joint problem.
What happens at your appointment?
Your initial consultation generally takes about 30 minutes and is at no charge. Bring the concern in your own words, including anything you want to preserve about your appearance.
The appointment reviews jaw muscle contribution, lower face shape, clenching or grinding context where relevant, medical history, dental boundaries, risks, expectations and whether treatment discussion is appropriate, should wait, needs referral or should not proceed.
Before agreeing to any care, ask what the assessment found, what an option could address and what would remain unchanged. Discuss the risks, alternatives, aftercare, review arrangements and full cost. You can leave with information, seek another opinion or choose no cosmetic treatment.
Same day treatment may be discussed if assessment, informed consent and the required clinical arrangements support it. Booking is for a consultation and does not guarantee treatment. For the fuller examination and planning discussion, see jaw muscle consultation planning.
What to bring and what to describe
Bring current medicines and supplements, allergies, relevant health and dental history, mouthguard information, previous cosmetic care dates and records, exact event or travel dates, and written questions. Mark unknown details honestly.
Write separate notes for what you see and what you feel. Appearance may involve lower face width, side difference or change with clenching. Function may involve fatigue, pain, clicking, locking, bite change, headaches or chewing difficulty.
For an explanation of the chewing muscle itself, use the masseter anatomy guide. You do not need to arrive with an explanation for your concern; bring what you have noticed and the records you have.
Consultation costs and returning for review
The initial consultation is at no charge, with no obligation to proceed. Any proposed treatment has a separate cost, explained after assessment and before you agree. Ask what is included and whether further care would be charged separately.
Reviews are offered two weeks after treatment and are free to attend. Fees apply if extra treatment is required. The clinic accepts Amex, Mastercard, Visa and cash, with no surcharges. Cancellation is free with at least 24 hours’ notice. Read the full pricing and appointment information.
If care is proposed, make sure its aftercare and review requirements fit your travel and other commitments. Ask how to contact the clinic with a concern. A planned review appointment is not a substitute for medical or dental care when that is needed.
Risks, limits and your decision
All cosmetic procedures carry potential risks and side effects. These vary by individual, treatment type, and medical history. Full risk information relevant to you will be discussed in detail during your consultation, before any treatment is considered.
Ask about the risks and recovery relevant to any proposed option, rather than assuming every jaw concern has the same treatment or recovery timetable. The four questions before agreeing can help you prepare for that discussion.

Before arranging your visit
Why is dental history important in a jaw muscle consultation?
Dental advice, bite changes, mouthguard use, tooth wear, jaw joint history and symptoms can change how an appearance or movement concern is understood. Cosmetic consultation does not replace dental care.
How can I test review access?
Check the journey from your real starting point and consider traffic, parking, public transport, work and caregiving. Ask whether returning to Oakleigh for a planned review would be practical on another day.
