Your extras may have rolled over. But tooth decay doesn’t take a break.
Your next dental check-up could cost you nothing*. Did you know that as a health fund member, the cost of your next dental check-up could be covered by your extras?
That means no out-of-pocket costs* for you to pay. We will process your rebate immediately and you can claim on the same day as your treatment. Your oral health shouldn’t wait – make the most of the cover you’re paying for.
Every year, many of our patients miss out on dental extras they’ve already paid for by failing to use them – we wouldn’t want you to be one of them!
Put your dental extras to good use with a comprehensive check-up and clean.
Just 2 simple steps to a healthier smile
Step 1
Check your health insurance policy
Log in to your health fund account to double-check the dental cover included in your policy. Your dental insurance may cover you for a full check-up*, including a clean, scale and polish. Bitewing x-rays are not included in the $0 out-of-pocket check-up and may incur an out-of-pocket cost.
Step 2
Book your dental check-up
Once you’re clear on your coverage, book to secure an appointment with us before the end of the calendar year.
The power of regular check-ups
Even with the best oral hygiene routine, dental problems can still arise. In fact, about 9 out of every 10 adults in Australia have experienced dental decay**, which can lead to cavities.
Left untreated, cavities can result in infection, pain and even tooth loss.
A check-up every 6 months is the best way to keep dental decay at bay. Our dentists always provide a thorough check to detect any issues early, before they become advanced and potentially more costly to treat.
A typical check-up may include
During your check-up, we’ll perform a thorough inspection of your teeth and gums, and be on the lookout for signs of these common issues:
- Cavities
- Tooth decay
- Sensisitivty
- Gum disease
Your appointment will also include a professional clean, scale and floss, as well as the opportunity to discuss any additional concerns you may have.
Oral health links to overall health too
The benefits of regular check-ups extend well beyond a healthy smile. Studies show there is a connection between gum disease and conditions including diabetes, heart disease and even Alzheimer’s disease.
So a 6-monthly check-up brings peace of mind that you’re helping protect both the health of your mouth and your body.
