Emergency Visits
We have created a roadmap to transparent and comprehensive information on handling unexpected dental situations. We understand emergencies can be stressful, so our team is committed to providing clear insights into the process and associated approximate costs for the most common dental emergencies.
Yes of course! We are always happy to welcome new patients to our practice.
Yes, we have HICAPS which allows us to process your claim instantly.
Unfortunately, we are unable to tell you what your health fund will cover as every health fund and membership package is different.
You may also find that our fees vary for a particular service, for example a 2 surface filling will vary slightly from person to person. This is simply because it may take more time and material to restore one person's tooth over another. Unfortunately, it is not possible for a health scheme to adjust its scale of rebate to suit every case, so that you will find the rebate is geared for the "average" fee charged for a particular service.
No, we require payment at the time of your appointment.
We do however, accept all major credit cards VISA, Mastercard, AMEX etc.
Estimates for dental procedures normally require an oral examination as every patient presents with different dental concerns. Your dentist will be able to provide a quote for you at the time of your appointment, once they have performed their initial examination. Dental fees are affected by factors such as time and difficulty as well as the amount of dental technician’s time involved in certain crown, bridge and implant cases. It is suggested that all patients embarking on a course of treatment request an estimate of the eventual total fees to avoid any misunderstanding.
At Telopea Park Dental, we firmly believe that patients should receive their essential dental care without any outside influences beyond the patient's priorities and needs. This mission is reflected in our comprehensive treatment planning, which will always offer you options for varying degrees of care.
We also want our patients to understand that the Australian Government does not cover most dental service costs as it does with other health services. Most dental expenses are paid for by patients or through private health insurance.
Child Dental Benefits Schedule
We also participate in this program which covers elemental dental services, including dental check-ups, x-ray, cleaning, sealing cracked teeth, fillings, root canals and extractions for children between the ages of two and 17.
This program is available to families who are already receiving other government benefits.
Private Dental Insurance Coverage
Many Australians pay for dental care by accessing private health insurance. In general, most health funds will cover up to half of your dental care costs. However, keep in mind that policies are different depending on the health fund you choose.
Be aware of limits on how much you can claim in one year. According to Austalia's HealthDirect, "dental services covered are set out in the 'General treatment, Extras or Ancillary' section of the policy."
If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to contact our clinic and speak with one of our qualified team members.
