Using Private Health For Dental Work
Using your private health insurance for dental care can help you achieve your smile goals. At Amazing Smiles Dental, we help you maximise your health coverage benefits for better oral health.
With extras cover, you can claim general dental treatments like check-ups, fillings, and extractions to maintain good oral health. Preventive care can help detect issues early and avoid bigger problems later.
If you have ‘hospital’ or ‘extras’ cover, you may also access advanced treatments like dentures, root canals, crowns, bridges, and dental implants. This makes dental care more affordable.
Coverage and limits vary by policy, so review your plan or consult your provider for details on claims, waiting periods, and exclusions.
Utilising your private health insurance benefits lets you be proactive about your dental health and work toward your ideal smile. Discuss your options with your insurance provider or dental clinic to maximise your coverage.

Steps involved when using Private Health cover
Using Private Health Insurance at Amazing Smiles Dental Clinics.
- Understand Your Coverage: Check your health insurance details. Contact your insurer to clarify your dental benefits, including coverage limits and any exclusions.
- Enquiry: When you contact Amazing Smiles Dental Clinic, inform our receptionist if you plan to use your private health card. We can discuss your coverage options.
- Appointment and Treatment: Schedule your dental appointment and confirm that the clinic accepts your insurance. Provide your insurance details during your visit.
- Treatment Planning: After your examination, we’ll create a treatment plan outlining recommended procedures and costs. We’ll also address any questions and discuss payment options.
- Pre-authorisation: Major treatments like restorations or orthodontics may require pre-authorisation. We will help submit the necessary documents to your insurer for approval.
- Payment and Claim Submission: Payment is due at treatment. We have HICAPS terminals for on-the-spot claims. Depending on your coverage, you may have out-of-pocket expenses. An itemised invoice will be provided for your insurer.
- Reimbursement: Use our HICAPS terminals to claim at your appointment, or submit the invoice and documents online to your insurer for reimbursement. The amount will depend on your policy’s terms.
For a hassle-free experience, contact your insurer and consult us about your coverage.
