You'll know what it costs before we start.
For larger treatment plans, you'll have the costs in writing before anything begins. If there's a cheaper approach that works, we'll tell you about that too.
How payment works here
Three ways most people pay, and one thing we never do.
Through your health fund
We have HICAPS on site. You swipe your card and the claim goes through on the spot, so you claim your health fund rebate then and there. What you pay depends on your level of cover.
We accept all health funds, and we're a CBHS preferred provider.
Bulk-billed, for eligible children
The Child Dental Benefits Schedule covers around $1,132 of dental work per eligible child over two calendar years. If your child qualifies, we bulk-bill — you pay nothing.
Bring their Medicare card and we'll check eligibility for you.
Payment plans through SuperCare
For larger treatments — implants, orthodontics, full-mouth work — SuperCare lets you access your superannuation to pay for dental treatment on compassionate grounds.
We'll talk you through whether it's appropriate for your situation.
Australian veterans
We treat DVA cardholders with full cover. Bring your card.
Cash, card, EFTPOS
All accepted. No surcharge on EFTPOS.
What we never do
Start treatment before you've seen the cost. Recommend work you don't need. Or pressure you into deciding on the day. Take the quote home and think about it.
What things actually cost
We won't quote you over the phone, and here's the honest reason why.
Because it would be a guess
A filling can be a twenty-minute job or a ninety-minute one depending on how deep the decay has gone. A crown depends on how much tooth is left. Quoting a number down the phone means either quoting high to be safe, or quoting low and revising it later.
Neither is honest, so we don't do either.
Look, then quote in writing
We examine you, tell you what we found, and talk you through the cost. For larger treatment plans, you'll have it itemised in writing to take home.
- Costs explained before anything starts
- Every item itemised, no bundling
- Cheaper alternatives flagged if they exist
- Twelve-month guarantee on our work
Common questions
Will a check-up and clean cost me anything?
If you hold extras cover, you claim your rebate on the spot through HICAPS and pay any gap then and there. What that gap is depends on your policy. Without cover, we'll tell you the cost before we begin.
What is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule?
A Medicare scheme that covers around $1,132 of dental treatment per eligible child across two calendar years. Eligibility depends on your family receiving certain government payments. Bring your child's Medicare card and we'll check for you — it takes a minute and a lot of families don't realise they qualify.
Can I use my super to pay for dental work?
In some circumstances, yes — through SuperCare, on compassionate grounds. It's generally used for larger treatments like implants or orthodontics rather than routine work. We'll talk you through whether it's realistic for your situation, and we won't push it if it isn't.
Do you offer payment plans?
Through SuperCare for larger treatments. For everything else, we'll work with you — talk to us. Nobody has ever been turned away because of what they could pay that day.
Is your work guaranteed?
Twelve months. If something we've done goes wrong within that time, we'll put it right.
My health fund isn't one of the big ones. Will you still take it?
Yes. We accept all health funds. HICAPS handles them all.
