At Toorak Dental Studio, we accept all major Australian health insurance funds. When visiting us for a check-up or treatment, make sure you bring your health insurance card with you and we’ll swipe it using HICAPS to automatically deduct the maximum possible rebate, to save you as much money as we can.
The amount you save depends on your level of coverage. By taking out extras cover on your policy, this covers you for more complex treatments.
We’re unable to advise on what your insurance covers, and you’ll have to contact your policy provider to find out. However, preventative dental treatments (such as check-ups, scaling, cleaning and small fillings) are covered by most health funds, while other treatments may only be covered if you have an extras policy.
If you’re unsure if you’ll be covered, check with your health insurer prior to your appointment.
Taking out private health insurance provides peace-of-mind that you and your family will be able to access the highest quality dental care - and won’t be impacted by high bills following any preventative, restorative, cosmetic or surgical dental treatments.
Medicare only covers certain treatments for eligible adults and children in Australia. If you’re not eligible for this coverage, consider your private health insurance options.
The amount of cover you’re eligible for entirely depends on your insurance provider and the policy you have taken out. Many health funds pay around half the cost, although this varies and you should carry out your own research.
Check the ‘General treatment, Extras or Ancillary’ section of your policy to find out what you’re covered for.
If you don’t have private health insurance, we’ve developed ways to ensure you can still access high-quality dental care in Melbourne. Whether you need essential treatments or you want to enhance your smile aesthetically - we believe everyone should be able to achieve this, stress-free.
We offer payment plans such as DentiCare to cover the cost of your treatment. Plans are interest-free and it’s easy to get started and choose your own repayment schedule; just speak to the receptionists at Toorak Dental Studio for more information. Discover if DentiCare is right for you
