At Clifton Hill Dental, we aim to make dentistry as affordable and accessible as possible, which is why we work with or participate in:

In this blog, we explore SuperCare and its role in enhancing affordability, particularly when dental care is needed but funds are limited.

SuperCare and Affordability: What You Should Know

Sometimes, you may need dental treatment unexpectedly, or a specific procedure may fall outside your budget or coverage. This is where SuperCare comes in.

SuperCare allows you to access your superannuation to pay for necessary dental treatments and procedures, such as:

  • Orthodontic Treatment
  • Wisdom Tooth Extraction
  • Tooth Replacement
  • Advanced Dental Services

SuperCare helps you access your superannuation when you need it most, without stress or prolonged waiting, which can impact your oral health in the long term. A member of our dental team can assist you in getting started.

Dental Care and You: What Is a Superannuation?

Superannuation is money you’ve paid or that has accumulated throughout your working life to support you after retirement. However, you may need to access some of these funds early if you have a situation that requires dental intervention. This is where SuperCare comes in!

Typically, you don’t have to pay the money back, but there may be tax implications or slightly reduced retirement funds later. We can help you better understand the language before accessing your funds.

Reasons to Consider SuperCare

Ignoring some dental issues can result in the loss of your smile or lead to additional oral health complications. Therefore, consider SuperCare whenever your dental health is at risk and the subsequent treatment costs exceed your means.

Dental implants and orthodontics are excellent examples of treatments that boost your oral health when tooth integrity and function are at risk.
