What am I covered for?
It’s a good idea to regularly review your health insurance cover to make sure it covers you for the treatment you need. To review your cover, please contact your health insurer directly.
We will provide you with a treatment plan and can run a quote (for most health funds), and we will obtain your consent before undertaking any treatment.
What does the No Gaps Guarantee cover?
Our No Gaps Guarantee means no out-of-pocket expenses for your dental check-ups, teeth scaling & cleaning, fluoride applications, x-rays and simple fillings.
Our No Gaps Guarantee does not apply to all types of treatment. This is due to the declining rebates from health insurers and the rising costs of operating our practices. To remain sustainable while maintaining our commitment to delivering quality care and value to our patients, some treatments incur an out-of-pocket fee. This allows us to maintain the high standards of care and service that our patients deserve.
