Here are the payment options and health fund schemes we offer:
HICAPS and Accepted Health Funds:

This means you can conveniently claim your health fund rebate immediately after your appointment, reducing your out-of-pocket expenses. Just bring your health fund card with you, and we’ll handle the rest to make your visit as smooth as possible.
Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS):
- We proudly participate in the CDBS, a government initiative that provides eligible children with access to basic dental services. This program can significantly reduce dental expenses for families over a two-year period, ensuring your child receives the essential care they need.
Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Card Holders:
- We honor DVA health cards, offering comprehensive dental treatments at no cost to eligible veterans. It’s our way of giving back and providing peace of mind and financial relief to those who have served.

Is emergency dental care covered by health funds?
We understand that dental emergencies can be overwhelming, and figuring out insurance coverage might add to your stress. The reassuring news is that health funds often cover emergency dental care, but the extent of that coverage depends on your individual policy. Here are some important points to consider:
Immediate Treatments: Procedures like pain relief and extractions are typically covered. However, there might be limitations on follow-up treatments, so it’s a good idea to check the specifics of your plan.
Annual Limits: Many health funds have annual caps on the amount you can claim for emergency dental services. This could affect how much is reimbursed during a policy year.
Cosmetic Procedures: Generally, cosmetic treatments—even in emergency situations—aren’t covered by health funds.
To prevent any unexpected expenses during a dental emergency, we recommend reviewing your policy details or reaching out directly to your health fund. Our compassionate team at South Beach Dental is also here to help. We can provide you with treatment estimates and assist in communicating with your health fund to clarify what you’re entitled to.
Your peace of mind is important to us. Being informed about your coverage can make receiving the necessary emergency care smoother and less stressful. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us—we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Are dental check-ups and cleanings covered by health funds?
We understand that figuring out health fund coverage can be a bit overwhelming, and we’re here to help make it as easy as possible for you. The good news is that most health funds do cover dental check-ups and cleanings. However, the level of coverage can vary based on your specific policy. Here are some important points to keep in mind:
Plan Level:
- Higher-tier or premium plans often provide more extensive coverage for dental services, including routine check-ups and cleanings. If you’re unsure about the details of your plan, it might be helpful to review your policy documents or contact your health fund directly.
Annual Limits:
- Many health funds set an annual limit on the amount you can claim for dental services each year. This cap could affect how much is covered for your routine care, so it’s a good idea to be aware of these limits to avoid any surprises.
Waiting Periods:
- Some health fund policies include waiting periods before you can start claiming benefits for dental check-ups and cleanings. This means you may need to wait a certain amount of time after starting your policy before coverage kicks in for these services.
Understanding the specifics of your health fund policy is key to fully utilizing your benefits. Our friendly team at South Beach Dental is always here to assist you with any questions or concerns you might have. We’re happy to help you navigate your coverage details to make your dental care experience as smooth and beneficial as possible.
Your oral health is important to us, and we don’t want financial uncertainties to stand in the way of your well-being. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to support you every step of the way.
How can I find out if my child is eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?
We understand that caring for your child’s oral health is a top priority, and sometimes the costs can be a concern. The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) is a wonderful government program that provides financial support for basic dental services to eligible children, helping to ensure they receive the care they need.
To find out if your child is eligible, here are the key criteria to consider:
Age Requirement:
- Your child must be between 0 and 17 years old for at least one day of the calendar year.
Medicare Enrollment:
- Your child needs to be enrolled in Medicare, making them recognized within the Australian healthcare system.
Family Tax Benefit or Other Payments:
- Your family should be receiving Family Tax Benefit Part A or other qualifying Australian government payments.
Residency Status:
- Your child must be an Australian resident, aligning with Medicare’s requirements for dental coverage.
How to Verify Eligibility:
- Online Check: Log in to your MyGov account and navigate to the Medicare section to see if your child is listed as eligible.
- Contact Medicare Directly: You can call Medicare at 132 011 to speak with a representative who can confirm your child’s eligibility.
- Ask Us for Help: We’re here to support you! Feel free to contact our team at South Beach Dental, and we’ll gladly assist you in determining your child’s eligibility.
We believe that every child deserves a healthy smile, and we’re dedicated to making the process as easy as possible for you. If you have any questions or need guidance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re more than happy to help facilitate your child’s access to the CDBS and ensure they receive the dental care they need.
Your child’s well-being is important to us, and we’re here to make sure they have a positive and affordable dental experience.
Do you offer bulk billing for dental services?
We understand that affordability is a crucial factor when it comes to your dental health. While South Beach Dental does not offer bulk billing for general dental services, we do participate in government-funded programs like the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) and accept Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) health cards. These programs provide eligible patients with access to essential dental care at reduced or no out-of-pocket cost. Our team is here to help you explore all available options to make your dental treatments as affordable as possible.
Can I use Afterpay or similar payment plans for my dental treatments?
Yes, we want to make it easier for you to receive the dental care you need without undue financial stress. South Beach Dental offers flexible payment options, including partnerships with services like Afterpay (or similar, if applicable), which allow you to spread the cost of your treatments over manageable installments. Our friendly staff will gladly walk you through the application process and help you choose a payment plan that best fits your financial situation. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
Do you have any special offers or promotions on dental services?
We believe that everyone deserves access to quality dental care, and we occasionally offer special promotions to make our services even more affordable. These may include discounts on specific treatments, new patient specials, or seasonal offers. We encourage you to check our website regularly or give us a call to learn about any current promotions. Our team is always happy to help you find ways to receive the care you need within your budget.
Are there discounts available for seniors, students, or pensioners?
Absolutely! At South Beach Dental, we value all members of our community and strive to make dental care accessible to everyone. We offer concessions for seniors, students, and pensioners to help reduce the cost of dental treatments. Please bring your valid concession card or student ID to your appointment, and we’ll apply any eligible discounts. If you have any questions about eligibility, our staff is more than happy to assist you.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment—will I be charged a fee?
We understand that unexpected things can happen, and you might need to change your appointment. If you need to cancel or reschedule, we kindly ask that you provide us with at least 24 hours’ notice. This allows us to offer the time slot to another patient who may be in need of care. We typically do not charge a fee for the first missed appointment without notice. However, repeated cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee to cover the costs associated with the unused appointment time. Our goal is to be as accommodating as possible, so please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need to make changes—we’re here to work with you.
