Don’t let your dental extras disappear
Make the most of your benefits by booking a check-up before January 1.
The cost of your next dental check-up could be covered
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.
But now’s the time to book, as most health fund benefits reset on January 1.
Every year, many of our patients miss out on dental extras they’ve already paid for by failing to use them before the reset – we wouldn’t want you to be one of them!
Don’t let your dental extras disappear on you – now’s the perfect time to put them to good use with a comprehensive check-up and clean.
How to make the most of your dental extras
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. Some funds even offer rebates for certain cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening.
Book your dental check–up
Once you’re clear on your coverage, book to secure an appointment with us before the end of the year, when most 2024 dental extras will expire.
Why a dental check-up is worth your time
A dental check-up every six months is vital to keep your oral health on track. It also lets us spot any issues before they can become bigger (and potentially expensive) problems.
During your check-up, we’ll perform a thorough inspection of your teeth and gums, and be on the lookout for signs of common issues such as:
- Cavities
- Tooth decay
- Sensitivity
- Gum disease
Your appointment will also include a professional clean, scale and floss and the opportunity to discuss any additional concerns you might have.
What you may not know is…
The benefits of regular check-ups extend well beyond a healthy smile. Taking good care of your teeth and gums is also linked to better overall health. You can find more information about this link here.
