Accessing Superannuation for Dental Treatments

Early Release of Superannuation

Did you know that you can apply for the early release of your superannuation to pay for dental surgery, dental implants, and other necessary treatments? This option provides financial assistance to those who need urgent or significant dental work but may not have the immediate funds available.

Who Can Apply?

  • Self: You can apply to access your super for your dental treatment.
  • Partner: Access funds for your partner’s dental needs.
  • Children: Ensure your children receive the necessary dental care by using your super.

This payment option is ideal for a family that:

  • Does not have the relevant, or sufficient, private health insurance
  • May not have access to sufficient, available funds for dental treatments
  • Does have one member with Superannuation funds
  • Our team and SuperCare’s will guide you through the application process, to ensure that you and your family can focus on the most important issue – your health.

Application Process

  1. Initial Consultation: Meet with our dentist to discuss your treatment needs and obtain a treatment plan.
  2. SuperCare Assistance: We will contact SuperCare to start the application process. They will help you prepare and submit the necessary documentation.
  3. Approval: Once your application is approved, the funds will be released to cover the cost of your dental treatment.

What Treatments May Be Covered?

Orthodontics
Orthodontics is the term used to refer to the treatment of irregularities in the teeth and jaws. The most common example of Orthodontics is the application of clear aligners or braces to straighten teeth. Orthodontics can be used for a number of conditions where teeth need to move into a new position. These include crooked teeth, crowded teeth, large gaps between teeth, overbite and underbites. Orthodontic procedures are not just a cosmetic procedure to improve the look of your smile – they can also be a permanent solution to serious dental conditions.
Implants
A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor. implants create the most natural and life-like solution to a missing tooth, virtually indistinguishable from your other teeth.
Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth — to cover and restore the shape, size and strength of the tooth, whilst improving its appearance.
Periodontics
Periodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with the structures surrounding and supporting the teeth.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
O&M surgeries are used to treat or repair damage caused by disease, injury or defects in the head, neck or soft / hard tissue of the mouth or jaw.
