What can I do if I can’t afford dental treatment?
If you’re worried about the cost of dental care, there are several ways to make treatment more affordable:
- Flexible payment plans allow you to spread the cost of treatment over time. Options like Afterpay, Zip, and Humm let you pay in smaller, manageable instalments instead of one upfront payment.
- Using private health funds may help lower out-of-pocket expenses if your policy includes dental cover. Checking your benefits can help you understand what treatments are covered.
- Government assistance programs may help eligible people access free or reduced-cost dental care. Depending on factors like age or income, programs such as the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) can provide financial support for essential treatments. Checking your eligibility for these programs can help reduce dental expenses.
- Prioritising essential treatments can help manage costs more effectively. A dentist can assess your oral health and recommend addressing urgent problems first while scheduling other procedures over time.
Discussing treatment options with the dental team can provide clarity on costs and available options. Many clinics offer payment flexibility or phased treatment plans to suit different budgets. At Ashburton Dental Centre, we understand that affordability is important. Our team is here to discuss payment options and create a plan that works for you.
