Payment and Finance Options

We understand that dental treatment costs can be an important part of planning your care.

Before treatment begins, we will explain the costs of the options discussed and provide a written estimate where appropriate. You can take time to consider the information before deciding whether to proceed.

Payment methods

Smile Design Studio accepts MasterCard, Visa and American Express for gap payments. Some credit card charges may apply.

Payment plans

Payment-plan options through third-party providers, including DentiCare, may be available for eligible patients. Any payment plan is subject to the provider’s approval process, credit criteria, terms and conditions, fees and repayment requirements.

Please review the provider’s agreement carefully and consider whether the arrangement is appropriate for your circumstances.

Early release of superannuation

Some patients may ask about compassionate release of superannuation for eligible medical treatment.

Smile Design Studio can provide clinical documentation where appropriate. MySuperCare is an independent third-party service that may assist with the application process.

Eligibility, approval and release of funds are determined by the Australian Taxation Office and your super fund. Early release is available only in limited circumstances and is not guaranteed. Dental treatment undertaken solely for cosmetic reasons would not normally qualify, for example teeth whitening.

We are not financial advisers. You may wish to seek independent financial advice before applying.

Discussing your options

Our team can provide information about payment methods and direct you to the relevant third-party providers. Please contact us if you would like to discuss the costs associated with your proposed treatment.
