Dental treatment can be a significant cost, especially for more complex work such as implants or surgical extractions. Here are three ways to help manage it.
1. Look after your oral health
Brushing twice a day, cleaning between your teeth and limiting sugar reduce the chance of needing more involved treatment later. Regular check-ups and cleans help find problems early.
2. Check current offers and their terms
See our New Patient Specials and Packages pages for current offers. Always read the terms, and remember that any treatment should be based on your clinical needs, not on an offer.
3. Understand your health fund
Some health funds have “no gap” arrangements with participating practices for certain preventive services, such as examinations, cleans, fluoride and X-rays. Whether you have a gap depends on your fund, level of cover, annual limits and waiting periods.
North Ryde Dentistry processes claims for most major health funds on the spot, so you only pay any gap on the day. Ask our front desk to check your entitlements before your appointment.
