Gap Free Check Ups

We offer gap free check up and cleans for anyone with private health insurance with dental cover. 
Do you worry that regular check ups are too expensive? At Engadine Dental, we make preventive care easy by offering Gap Free check ups to eligible private health fund members. That means you can have your check-up with no out-of-pocket cost! It's just another way that we ensure our patients get the best dental care in Engadine.

What are Gap Free check ups?

-In most cases, health insurance companies pay only a portion of your dental costs. However, at our clinic we discount the difference between your dental cover and the cost of a checkup. This fee, which you would be expected to pay at most dental practices, is subsidised by us. You won't have to worry about the hassle of claiming a rebate from your health fund, without knowing how much they will reimburse you.

Gap-free check ups include a range of preventive dental treatments including examinations, scale and cleans, x-rays and topical fluoride treatments. As you may know, regular check-ups are a key factor in maintaining good oral health throughout your life. Our Gap Free services are designed to help our patients access this important routine care with no out-of-pocket cost, with any valid dental health fund cover. 

If you haven't reached your dental limit, have a valid dental health insurance, you can organise a Gap-Free check up with our clinic and your private health fund pays with presentation of a health fund card (with magnetic strip for HICAPS). If your insurance includes dental extras cover, then you are probably eligible.

Which health funds?

We understand that everyone has different healthcare providers and levels of cover. That's why we promise to discount the gap on any private health insurance with dental cover, no matter how much they pay! Just bring your health fund card on the day, and we will swipe it through our HICAPS electronic claiming system on the spot. We accept HCF, Medibank, BUPA, NIB, AHM, Teachers Health Fund, Defence Health, Peoplecare, CBHS, Frank Health Insurance, GU Health, Westfund, health.com.au, Australian Unity, Doctors Health Fund, and many more!

How do I get Gap Free ​checkups?

If you think you may be eligible, call today to speak to our friendly staff about No Gap check ups. We can put your mind at ease by scheduling regular 6-monthly check-up appointments for you and your family—and with eligible cover, you will never have to worry about out-of-pocket expenses. Just provide your health insurance details, swipe your health card, and we'll organise the rest.

If your check-up reveals that you require additional treatments, our dentists will discuss the cost involved with any additional procedures and help you check what costs your health fund will cover. We will always do our best to tailor your treatment plan to your budget and circumstances.

If you don't have health insurance that includes dental cover, don't stress! We want all of our patients, insured or otherwise, to attend regular 6-monthly check ups. We will happily provide you with an approximate upfront for preventive treatments, and you can book in for a full preventive examination (including clean and x-rays) for a discounted price.

Why do I need regular check ups?

In most cases, people choose not to visit the dentist until they notice a problem. If don't visit unless you have a bad toothache or a cracked tooth, you'll save money—right?

Wrong! If you only see your dentist when you notice a problem, then chances are your condition has already fully developed. Typically, that means more advanced and more costly treatment than if you had caught the problem early. Catching problems early saves you money, helps you avoid advanced procedures, and often saves you a considerable amount of pain. This is why dentists recommend scheduling regular dental checkups—preferably every 6 months.

Regular checkups allow the dentist to keep track of your oral health, and pick up on dental issues in their early stages. For example, if your dentist finds a buildup of plaque on your teeth, they can give you a scale and clean before the plaque has a chance to create a cavity. If a dentist notices inflammation of the gums (gingivitis), they will be able to suggest corrective oral health routines and lifestyle changes to prevent it from progressing to periodontitis (gum disease).

The more serious a dental condition is, the more costly it is to correct.  So when it comes to dental health, preventive care is the way to go!

Take preventive action today!

Remember, you shouldn't only visit the dentist when a problem arises. When it comes to oral health, preventive care is the key! A regular checkup will allow your dentist to detect issues early on, before they develop into serious—and costly—problems.

At Engadine Dental, we recommend 6-monthly check ups to ensure your teeth stay clean and healthy. It's the best way to maintain your oral health and save money in the long run. Plus, with eligible health fund dental cover, we can provide your checkup with no out-of-pocket cost. So don't wait until it's too late! Schedule your Gap Free check up with us today.
