One simple price

Your first visit is the Comprehensive Care Visit

A thorough first visit with everything included, for one simple price of $297 (valued at $499). With most health funds you claim on the day and pay only a minimal gap; your exact gap depends on your level of cover. No cover? We'll tell you the cost up front, before you book. Either way, you'll know exactly where you stand.

Claim on the spot

All major health funds, claimed instantly

Using Super For Essential Treatment

For significant, medically necessary treatment, the ATO may allow early access to your super on compassionate grounds, for example to help relieve chronic dental pain when other funding is not available. It does not cover cosmetic treatment. If it may be relevant to you, we can prepare the clinical report the ATO requires and point you to a licensed provider who manages the application. We never need your myGov details.

Money questions

Good to know

Do I need private health insurance to come?

Not at all. We welcome everyone, with or without cover. If you're not insured, we'll tell you the cost up front so there are no surprises.

What does the first visit cost?

Your first visit is the Comprehensive Care Visit, a flat $297 with everything included. With most health funds you claim on the day and pay only a minimal gap, and your exact gap depends on your level of cover. We'll always give you the price before you book.

What if I can't pay for treatment all at once?

We offer payment plans through HUMM and Fund My Dental, and accept all major credit cards, so larger treatment can be spread out.

Will I know the cost before any treatment?

Always. You'll get a clear written estimate before anything goes ahead, with time to think it over.
