FAQ

Here are the answers to common questions about our payment options and plans.

Yes, using your health fund to pay for dental treatments at The Dental Co. Windsor is practical. It’s a common method to manage your dental expenses effectively. Understanding how your health fund works and what it shoulders can help you make decisions about your care.

  • Check Your Health Fund:
    Health funds usually shoulder a range of general and preventive dental services, such as check-ups, cleanings, and X-rays. However, the extent of your assistance may differ depending on your specific policy.
  • Major Dental Treatments:
    For more extensive procedures like crowns, bridges, or orthodontics, your health fund may shoulder part of the cost. It’s important to review your policy details to understand any limits, waiting periods, or exclusions.
  • Gap Payments:
    Even with health funds, a gap payment may be required. This is the difference between what your health fund pays and the actual cost of the treatment. This is what you’ll need to pay for out-of-pocket.

By thoroughly reviewing your health fund’s dental benefits, you can maximise your assistance and minimise out-of-pocket costs. If you’re unsure about what your health fund will shoulder, contacting them directly or discussing it with us can provide further clarity.

When booking an appointment, it’s natural to want to understand all potential costs involved. Knowing about possible additional fees can help you plan better and avoid unexpected expenses.

  • Consultation Fees:
    Some dental clinics may charge a separate consultation fee, especially for initial visits or certain treatments. This fee usually includes the time of the dentist in assessing your oral health and discussing your treatment options.
  • Diagnostic Fees:
    If your appointment involves X-rays, scans, or other diagnostic procedures, these may incur additional costs. It’s important to check if these services are included in your treatment plan or if they will be billed separately.
  • Treatment-Specific Costs:
    Certain treatments may require additional materials or procedures that aren’t shouldered by standard fees. For example, more complex procedures like root canals or extractions might involve lab fees or anaesthesia costs.

We are committed to transparency in our pricing, so you’ll know exactly what to expect with no hidden costs or surprises.

If your dental treatment isn’t fully shouldered by your health fund, it can be concerning. However, there are several options available to help manage the remaining costs. Understanding these options can help you have dental care that is affordable and accessible.

  • Review Payment Plans:
    Many dental clinics offer flexible payment plans that spread the cost of your treatment over time. This can be a helpful way to manage larger out-of-pocket expenses without financial strain.
  • Check for Gap:
    Some health funds offer gap options that help reduce the difference between what your fund pays and the total cost of the treatment. It’s worth discussing this with both your health fund and your dentist to see if this applies to your situation.
  • Consider Third-Party Financing:
    If you’re facing significant out-of-pocket costs, third-party financing options, such as interest-free payment plans, may be available. These can help you pay the remaining balance without having to pay everything upfront.

Taking these steps can help ease the financial burden of dental treatment when full assistance isn’t available. It’s always a good idea to discuss these options with your dentist or financial advisor to find which fits your needs.

For patients without a private health fund, accessing affordable dental care is still possible through several available options. Understanding these alternatives can help you manage the costs while receiving the care you need.

  • Flexible Payment Plans:
    Many dental clinics offer payment plans that allow you to spread the cost of treatment over several months. This can make it easier to afford necessary dental care without paying the full amount upfront.
  • Government Programs:
    Depending on your eligibility, you may qualify for government assistance programs like the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Public dental services for adults are also available based on eligibility criteria. These programs can significantly reduce the cost of dental care or, in some cases, provide services at no cost.
  • Early Release of Super:
    If you face significant dental expenses, you might be eligible for early release of your superannuation funds through Access My Super. This option is usually available for essential dental treatments and can provide a financial lifeline in urgent situations.

Our payment plans make high-quality dental care affordable by allowing you to spread the cost of treatments over a period that suits your budget. We offer various payment plan options to accommodate different financial situations, from short-term financing to extended plans for more extensive treatments.

Determining if your child is eligible for the CDBS is an important step in letting them receive essential dental care. The CDBS provides financial assistance for basic dental services, helping to reduce out-of-pocket costs for families.

  • Check Age and Residency Requirements:
    Your child must be aged 0 to 17 years and meet the Australian residency requirements. The CDBS is available to children who are Australian citizens, residents, or hold specific visas.
  • Assess Family Eligibility:
    Eligibility is also tied to family circumstances, including receiving certain government payments. If your family receives benefits like Family Tax Benefit Part A or other qualifying payments, your child may be eligible for CDBS.
  • Consult Your Dentist:
    We can also guide you through the process and help confirm your child’s eligibility for CDBS. We can provide personalised advice based on your specific situation and answer any questions you might have.

By taking these steps, you can provide your child with the dental care they need without unnecessary financial burden. If eligible, the CDBS can be a valuable resource for maintaining your child’s oral health.
