What Dental Treatments Are Available for Kensington Patients?
How Do Health Funds Work for Kensington Dental Patients?
Health fund claiming at East Adelaide Dental Studio works seamlessly for Kensington patients through our HICAPS terminal, which processes claims on the spot at every appointment. You pay only the gap, not the full fee upfront.
We accept all Australian health funds through HICAPS. Two major funds carry preferred provider status:
- Bupa Members Choice: As a preferred provider, Bupa members from Kensington receive higher rebates and lower out-of-pocket gaps on most dental procedures. Preventive services like check-ups and scale and cleans attract the highest rebate percentages under Bupa Members Choice arrangements. Kensington families with Bupa cover can expect significantly reduced gap payments compared to non-preferred providers.
- HCF Members Choice: HCF members gain access to preferred pricing and maximised rebates across general, cosmetic and major dental treatments. HCF’s More for Teeth program covers two free dental check-ups annually for eligible members, including examination, scale and clean, and fluoride treatment. Kensington residents with HCF cover benefit from predictable, low out-of-pocket costs.
Kensington families with eligible children can access the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), a Medicare-funded scheme providing up to $1,095 per child over 2 calendar years. Covered services include examinations, X-rays, cleaning, fissure sealing, fillings, root canals and extractions. Eligible children aged 2 to 17 qualify based on family tax benefit criteria.
For treatments not fully covered by health funds, we offer 2 flexible payment options:
- Denticare payment plans: Interest-free instalments spread the cost of larger treatments like dental implants or crown work over manageable monthly payments. No interest charges apply and approval takes minutes.
- Afterpay: Split smaller treatments into 4 fortnightly payments. Eligibility is assessed instantly through the Afterpay app at reception.
We provide written quotes before commencing any treatment. Kensington patients know their exact out-of-pocket cost after health fund rebates before committing to a procedure. To review all payment methods, visit our payment options page.
Patients must satisfy one primary condition to access this promotion: they require a comprehensive dental exam and professional clean within the last 12 months. This prerequisite ensures the teeth and gums remain healthy enough for cosmetic treatment. Patients can schedule their prerequisite appointment via our scale and cleans page and learn more about the gel formulation on our teeth whitening service page.
