Why should I use Southern Cross Dental?
We’ve been working with dental professionals in for over 30 years. Established by dentists for dentists, we’re uniquely positioned to understand the needs of the industry: providing reliable, high quality products and services that give your patients the best possible results.
You’ll get many benefits from working with us, including peer-to peer support, access to our Horizon loyalty program and dedicated online portal, MySCD.
MySCD lets you:
What are your turnaround times?
Our turnaround times tend to range from 10-12 working days, depending on the product and demand. For product-specific turnaround times please visit our delivery and turnaround times page.
What is the timeline for small adjustments?
Our lab is fully equipped to manage small adjustments. The turnaround time is usually 10 working days, depending on demand.
We recommend sending cases via couriers. We provide a pre-paid SCD addressed courier bag in each case that is returned to you. The first courier bag is sent out with your information pack once you have opened an account.
Wherever possible, please send PVS or polyether impressions. Please do not send alginate impressions, unless agreed with your SCD representative/our customer service team. If you are sending models, please pack carefully and send in bubble wrap/plastic boxes to minimise risk of breakage. We suggest using autoclave bags for small items and labelling your name and job number with a permanent marker.
We provide nationwide delivery for all cases via courier. A postage and handling fee of $13.33 plus GST applies to each job dispatched.
