Our Payment Options
Department of Veteran Affairs ( DVA ) Dentist in Gosnells
If you’re a veteran, and a holder of a Gold Card or White Card with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA), you are eligible to receive treatment from any dentist registered to provide services through the Medicare Benefits Scheme.
What Treatment Can You Receive With DVA?
The level of coverage varies between gold and white cardholders. However, dental services such as hygiene appointments, fillings, and crowns are typically covered.
In the majority of cases, you will not be required to pay for dental treatment. However, certain high-cost items, such as certain bridges and crowns, are subject to an Annual Monetary Limit (AML). If the total cost of your high-cost items exceeds the AML limit of $2,643.25 per calendar year, you may be required to make a co-payment.
Things You Should Know About DVA
Check-ups are typically scheduled every six months. If you require more frequent check-ups, we must obtain approval from DVA.
If you lose or break your dentures, DVA may cover the cost of a replacement. However, you may be required to sign a written declaration stating why you require a replacement.
What's Covered by DVA?
Dental services are treatments to keep your teeth and mouth healthy. They may include:
- Regular check-up & cleaning
- Prevention of tooth decay
- Treatment for cavities
- Dentures
- Treatment for dental injuries
