FREE DENTAL FOR CHILDREN THROUGH: CHILD DENTAL BENEFIT SCHEDULE AND HOW IT WORKS: The CDBS provides eligible children up to $1052 in free dental benefits for a range of services including examinations, x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canals and extractions. The means-tested initiative requires your child to be receiving Family Tax Benefit Part A or a relevant Australian Government payment.
Using your superannuation for dental treatments: It is possible to use superannuation (super) funds to pay for medical and dental treatments. This option fits into an arrangement with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and is called ‘Compassionate Release of Superannuation’. This program can be a solution for people who would otherwise not be able to afford necessary medical or dental expenses and who don’t qualify for treatment in the public health system. Please speak to us about it.
Payment Plans: At our practice, we offer a variety of payment options to suit your needs. For extended payment terms, we have Afterpay and ZipMoney/ZipPay available for your convenience.
Cancellation Policy: At Cranbourne Dental Centre we see all patients on an appointment basis and ask that you call in advance so that we may reserve time for you. We respect your time and make every effort to remain on schedule and ask that you extend the same courtesy to us. If you are unable to keep an appointment, please notify us immediately. We appreciate 48-hours notice so that this time may be given to another patient. Appointments cancelled or broken without 24-hour notice will be subject to a $50 cancellation fee.
