We are part of the smile.com.au dentist network. smile.com.au is a dental membership (not health insurance).

Some health funds include smile.com.au membership with their extras cover; check with your fund or at smile.com.au.

Other health funds

If you have extras cover with another fund, you can still claim on the spot using HICAPS for most Australian health funds. Your rebate depends on your fund and your level of cover.

Children: Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)

We accept the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) for eligible children. Eligibility is set by Medicare; you can check it on your Medicare online account or by calling Medicare.

Other ways to pay

We accept Afterpay, which lets you pay for eligible treatment in four instalments. Afterpay approval, terms and late fees apply.

How claiming works at our clinic

1. Bring your health fund card (or smile.com.au card) to your appointment.
2. Before treatment we explain what is recommended and the fees.
3. After your appointment we swipe your card through HICAPS and your fund pays its benefit straight away.
4. You pay the remaining amount, if any.
