DENTAL TREATMENT PLANS

At Ageless Smiles Dental Centre our dentists will always explain the treatment you require. Treatment solutions and possible options will be discussed with you to enable you to make informed decisions.

A tailored treatment plan based on your decisions with treatment prioritized as required will be provided for you. Your plan will clearly outline the treatment required, the fees and number of appointments needed.

If you are covered by private health insurance, on presentation of your health fund card, our front office team members are able to submit a query to your fund on your behalf to establish the cover you have and any out-of-pocket costs (gap) payable for the treatment you require.

Alternatively, health fund item codes are provided on all our treatment plans to enable you to seek rebate information directly from your private health fund.

PAYMENT POLICY

At Ageless Smiles Dental Centre, payment for dental services and treatment is required after each appointment. We accept cash, EFTPOS payments, VISA, MasterCard, and American Express.

Should you be covered by private health insurance, please remember to bring along your health fund card so we may submit a claim from your health fund for your rebate, leaving you with just the gap to be paid.

VETERANS’ AFFAIRS

Our practice happily treats patients with a Veterans’ Affairs card.
Please bring your card to your first appointment so we may enter your details into your patient file.

HEALTH FUNDS

At Ageless Smile Dental Centre we proudly accept all health funds however; we have chosen not to be affiliated with any particular fund. We support a patient’s right to be able to choose the dentist they wish to see based on the quality of treatment, care and service provided instead of being influenced by their health fund to choose from a nominated list of dental practitioners.

Please be aware, we are unable to advise on health fund benefits as these vary between funds, the type and level of cover you have.

If you’ve experienced underwhelming rebates from your current insurer while premiums keep going up, this may be of interest to you. In partnership with the Australian Dental Association (ADA), Fair Health Care Alliance (FHCA) are tackling discriminatory health insurance rebates, particularly from big for-profit health insurers.

Fair Health Care Alliance will help you review your current health insurance cover and consider new policies that pay significantly higher rebates for dental services and other hospital and extras health services important to you.

FHCA can help you:

  • Bring up your current policy and compare line-for-line
  • Improve your benefits and annual limits, often while reducing the premium
  • Switch to your new policy without reserving waiting periods

We strongly believe it’s important that you retain the right to choose your favourite health providers and that private health insurers pay well at any of your trusted health practices that you prefer to receive treatment from.
