Unlike Medicare, dental fees are not subsidised by the Federal Government, as a general rule, the dental practice has to pay out approximately 75% of all fees received in the overhead costs of running the practice, if this practice tries to cut these costs to lower the fees you pay, there is a danger that the quality of your treatment may be compromised. The fees charged in this practice are kept as low as possible whilst still providing care of the highest quality. There is no comfort in providing cheap dentistry if it means a lower quality of care for patients. The best way to lower your dental costs is to prevent dental decay and gum disease in the first place. Regular check-ups are a relatively inexpensive way to avoid higher costs.

If you would like to know the costs of treatment prior to your treatment, please ask the Dentist to provide this at the initial consultation appointment. Please note that Dentists can only provide estimates based on their findings at the initial consultation stage. However, due to the fact that the mouth is a biological environment and different individuals react differently to dental treatment. Hence, costs may vary if further complications occur when the procedure is being undertaken

Our accounting staff will prepare all the necessary forms for your dental benefits. However, we remind you that your specific policy is an agreement between you and your insurance company. Please keep in mind that you are responsible for your total obligation should your insurance benefits result in less coverage than anticipated. Our staff will gladly provide you with a pre-treatment estimate for your insurance company so that you will know in advance from your insurance what your benefits will be. Your policy may base its allowances on a fixed fee schedule. You should be aware that different insurance companies vary greatly in the types of coverage available. This may entitle you to receive up to 100% rebate on Preventative Dentistry and up to 90% rebate on General and Major Dentistry.
That’s less out-of-pocket expense.
