Fees and Payments
We make every effort to keep our fees as low as possible while still providing our patients with the very best in oral care. Our dentists understand that dental treatment can often be unexpected and will provide you with treatment options to best suit your personal and financial needs. After an examination, your dentist can also provide you with a written quote of your treatment options, so you will be financially aware before proceeding with any treatment.
At the end of your appointment, we have HICAPs facilities available for instant health fund claiming and we are preferred provider for a number of major health funds. If there is a gap to pay, we accept cash and EFTPOS payments as well as offering ZipMoney interest free payment plans. It is our practice policy that full payment is due at the time of service.
