Dentist Payment Plan
At Dental on Cambridge Manly, we’re committed to assisting our patients to achieve good oral health - and we know that sometimes a dentist payment plan helps to make that possible.
We pride ourselves on always providing a quote for treatment before commencing any work. That way, you fully understand why and what treatment has been recommended, the pros and cons of not undertaking the recommended treatment, and the costs involved, so you can make an informed decision.
Is a Dentist Payment Plan for You?
Sometimes financial constraints stand between you and a healthy, beautiful smile. Whether you are unprepared for a dental emergency, or the want to treat yourself to cosmetic dental treatment, there’s no need to worry. At our Brisbane practice we offer a few different ways to make our treatment options more affordable for our patients. These options are also ideal for paying for any out-of-pocket expenses not covered by health insurance.
Many of our patients who have done the sums have noticed that with the reduced rebates offered by the health insurance companies over the years, that they are better off dropping their high monthly premium for extras cover and instead funding any required dental treatment through a third party such as Zip if and when any significant dental treatment is required.
Supercare
Did you know that you can apply for the early release of your superannuation to pay for you, or your family member’s dental treatment?
We are happy to introduce SuperCare - an external services provider - that can assist you to make an application via the Compassionate Release of Superannuation (CRS) Program, operated by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to cover dental and orthodontic costs.
SuperCare can help facilitate funding for most dental procedures, including:
Implants and Dentures
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Clear Aligners
Root Canal
Crowns
General Dentistry
SuperCare’s caring, knowledgeable and professional consultants efficiently case manage every CRS application to ensure a stress free and timely outcome. Patients are advised to contact SuperCare directly or to enquire via the SuperCare website.
Zip Payment
To make dental treatment more accessible, Zip is happily accepted at our practice and is our preferred payment plan method. It’s as easy as using your Zip app and providing us with your unique code at the reception desk.
With Zip, you’re able to have the treatment you need today and pay it back in your own time, with up to 30 months interest free and no deposit. Zip offers a quick and simple sign-up process, flexible repayments (weekly, fortnightly or monthly) and a reusable account. You can use your Zip account or apply for Zip through their website. For more information about Zip, please call (02) 8294 2345 or visit zip.co/healthcare. For full terms and conditions, please see zip.co/terms.
Afterpay
Afteray is accepted at our practice via your afterpay card, simply tap and pay like you do with your EFTPOS Cards. Afterpay instalment plans are deliberately short and fixed to give you better control over your budget. How is works is you pay the full amount using afterpay at the practice. Then the cost of your treatment will be split into four instalments by Afterpay and you’ll pay the first one when you go for your appointment, then the balance 3 instalments every fortnight after, over 6 weeks.
If you don’t have an Afterpay account you can apply for one here. For more information about Afterpay, visit www.afterpay.com. For full terms and conditions, please see www.afterpay.com/terms-of-service.
Dentist Payment Plan
We also offer in-house agreements - a dentist payment plan.
These are especially helpful to spread out the cost of treatments that are routinely needed or that patients choose to undertake. To make sure that you are able to enjoy easy and affordable access to our wide range of treatments and services, we are happy to discuss payment options with you when we discuss your treatment. We can accept a payment plan for a variety of treatments ranging from cosmetic to general treatments, including teeth whitening, crowns and bridges, dental implants, and so on. The conditions of a payment plan are flexible, and often vary depending on the amount and duration of treatment for each individual.
We often have patients that direct transfer amounts each week prior to their treatment to ‘pre-pay off’ their required treatment. In addition to this, we also offer split payments across appointments for common treatments such as crowns, bridges, dentures, implants, implant retained dentures and clear aligners.
At Dental on Cambridge, we know we provide quality dental care, and as such, we provide 10 year warranties for any crowns, bridges, and implants against fracture or dislodgement. To obtain your warranty it is essential that you continue your six-monthly routine examination and clean with our experienced team and implement any additional recommendations that will protect your dental work. That way, we can continue to support you by looking after your investment. After all, you only get one set of teeth!
Crowns
We offer a 50% deposit payable at your crown preparation appointment, and the reminder is paid two weeks later at your crown insert appointment.
Implants
We offer a $500 deposit to commence treatment, and the remainder of the pricing is spread out across a 6 month treatment cycle with a payment due after implant surgery is completed, and a final payment once the implant crown has been attached.
Clear Aligners
Depending on the length and complexity of treatment, clear aligners can be provided on a dentist payment plan for as little as $59 a week. We offer a sliding scale for our clear aligners’ deposits, and offer monthly payment amounts for the remainder of the treatment costs across the course of your recommended treatment.
Teeth Whitening
Our teeth whitening costs can be split over your two appointments, with a 50% deposit taken at your first appointment and the remainder at your second appointment.
We find that patients travel from all across Brisbane to our Manly practice, because they’ve heard about the opportunity to receive professional dental care with the convenience of a payment plan!
