    End of year health fund benefits

    Did you know that most health fund limits are based on calendar years not financial years? This means that you only have less than 2 months to get your treatment done in this year, leaving next years entitlements or limits untouched.

  • Question What dental treatments can I use a payment plan for?

    Dental payment plans can be used for a wide range of treatments, including routine check-ups, fillings, crowns, teeth whitening, orthodontics, and more extensive procedures like implants or root canals. If you are unsure which treatments are covered, be sure to speak to your payment plan provider.

  • Question Benefits of Using Dental Payment Plans

    Buy Now, Pay Later for dental care — Payment plans allow you to get the essential dental care you need right away, even if you can’t afford to pay the full cost upfront. This means you don’t have to delay important treatments, and you can avoid further oral health issues down the line.

    Affordable treatment options — Dental payment plans allow you to break down the cost of your treatment into smaller, manageable instalments. This helps you avoid large upfront payments, making dental care more affordable and accessible to all.

    Interest-free payments — Afterpay, ZipPay and Humm all offer interest-free periods, so you can pay for your treatment over time without high-interest growing.

    Improved oral health — Stay on top of your oral health and avoid the risks of untreated dental problems. Payment plans allow you to go to the dentist when you need to, and get personalised advice from some of Perth’s leading dentists.

  • Question Do dental payment plans require a credit check?

    Some providers will require a credit check, especially for larger credit limits or longer repayment terms. Others like ZipPay and Afterpay may not conduct a full credit check, but may assess your account history and spending behaviour. Always speak with a qualified financial advisor before making such decisions.

  • Question Are there any fees or interest charges with dental payment plans?

    Many dental payment plans, like Afterpay, ZipPay, ZipMoney and Humm, offer interest-free periods, and there are often no extra charges provided that payments are made on time. However, it is always important to review the terms and conditions before committing to any payment plan.

  • Question Can I pay off my dental payment plan early?

    Most dental payment plans allow you to pay off your balance early. Paying your plan off early may help you avoid any late fees and exempt you from their monthly account fees. Be sure to check with your dental payment plan provider for more information.

  • Question How often should I visit the dentist for check-ups?

    We recommend scheduling dental check-ups and cleans every six months. This helps monitor your oral health, catch problems early, and avoid more complex treatments. If you notice unusual symptoms, book an appointment sooner.

  • Question Do you offer payment plans for major dental work or complex treatment?

    We understand that dental costs can vary depending on your procedure, especially for major dental work such as crowns, implants, or wisdom teeth removal. To make treatment more accessible, we provide flexible payment plans and accept on-the-spot claims through HICAPS.

    Whether you’re planning a simple check-up or a complex treatment, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan and discuss all payment options with you before proceeding.
