We Accept All Health Funds

We’re committed to helping you maximise your health fund benefits and minimise out-of-pocket costs while delivering trusted, high-quality dental care.

Preferred Provider With Major Health Funds

We are proud to be a preferred provider for a selection of major Australian health funds. Being a preferred provider means we have special arrangements with these health funds, allowing eligible members to:

• Potentially receive higher rebates than a non-preferred provider
• Access agreed fee arrangements with your fund
• Reduce your overall dental costs^†

Preferred Funds Include:

Please check with your health insurer to confirm your fund’s preferred provider status and your level of cover before booking.

How Preferred Providers Work

When you visit a preferred provider dentist, your health fund often pays a larger portion of the treatment cost compared to seeing a non-preferred provider. This may mean lower gap payments for the services you receive.

However, the exact benefit depends on your individual policy, level of extras cover, and fund limits. We recommend contacting your health fund or calling our team if you’re unsure about your entitlements.

On-the-Spot HICAPS Claims

We use HICAPS – a convenient electronic claiming system – to process your dental rebate with your health fund at the time of your appointment. Just bring your current health fund card and we’ll handle the rest.

• Quick rebate processing
• Less paperwork for you
• Clear indication of any out-of-pocket costs

If you have questions about claiming or your cover, our friendly team are happy to assist.

Not Sure If You’re Covered?

Even if your health fund isn’t listed as a preferred provider, you can still claim your rebate for eligible dental treatments. Simply bring your health fund card to your appointment and our team will process your claim on the spot.

For specific rebate amounts, preferred provider details, or to confirm your fund’s benefits with us, we recommend contacting your health insurance provider directly.
