FAQ – Fees, payments & insurance

 

1. Is dental treatment expensive?

Extensive or complex dental treatment can be expensive but private health insurance can cover most of these expenses.

2. What are the fees and charges for my dental treatment?

At TC Dental Group, our fee schedule is within the ranges listed on the Australian Dental Association’s annual dental fee survey, the Department of Veteran Affairs fee schedule, Medicare (including the Child Dental Benefit Schedule) and various other private health care provider fee schedules.

TC Dental Group understands the financial stress and anxiety associated with the cost of unexpected dental treatment. This is why we provide you with an accurate written quote prior to treatment, so you can make an informed decision regarding your treatment options.

TC Dental also offer payment plans for extensive or complex dental treatment.  Please refer to our Insurance/Payment Options page for further information.

3. What does a dental check up include?

A typical routine dental check up includes a consultation, a full dental examination, a professional deep clean & scale, and a fluoride treatment. Dental X-rays, polish and fissure sealants may be included as extras if required or desired. After your check up, your next scheduled dental visit will also be confirmed.

4. Which private dental insurance cover is best for dental treatment?

Choosing the most suitable level of private dental insurance cover for you and your family depends on your needs, lifestyle and budget.

When choosing a dental insurance cover package, you should consider the dental services that you and your family need.

You can pay to cover dental treatments ranging from general dentistry to complex dental treatment and procedures, such as root canal therapy and dental implants.

You should also compare free or reduced-cost preventative care incentives; no-gap treatment options (no cost to you); and conditions for refunds, such as how long you have to belong to a fund before you can receive orthodontic treatment.

Basically, the more you pay per week, the more cover you get for preventative, general and restorative dental treatment. Most cosmetic dentistry services (that are not medically necessary) are not covered by health funds or Medicare.

5. How much of my dental fees, will my private dental insurance cover?

You can receive at least a 60-90% rebate on dental treatment costs depending on the level of cover you pay for.With the exception of preventative care, almost all dental procedures are not covered at 100% by your dental insurance provider.

Most major health insurance companies offer preventative incentives that can provide you with reduced-cost or no-gap preventative dental treatment. ‘No-gap’ means that the total cost of treatment is covered by the insurance company.

Dental insurance rebates are usually capped at $1000 – $1500 by most major health insurance companies.
