How can we help you?
Empowering our patients to take charge of their dental health starts with educating them about their teeth and smile, so we're happy to answer your questions.
We've compiled a few common questions here, but if you don't see the answer you need, we encourage you to reach out to our team.
General
Yes! If you're considering extensive dental treatment, we can help you gain early access to your superannuation funds to help you cover the cost of your treatment. Early super access can be ideal in these situations:
- You or at least one family member have superannuation funds
- You don't have personal health fund insurance
- It would be a financial hardship to cover the cost of your treatment with personal resources
Our team can help you with the paperwork for early super access while a SuperCare representative walks you through the rest of the process. You can contact our team for more information on early super access.
Note: Accessing superannuation for dental treatment is subject to eligibility and approval by the relevant government agency. We can assist with the process, but approval is not guaranteed.
Other Convenient Payment Options
If early super access is not an option for you, we do offer other options that can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for dental care, such as:
- Preferred provider status with several private health funds, including Medibank, Bupa, HCF, NIB, CBHS
- Relationships with third-party companies that can offer affordable monthly payment plans, like Humm, Afterpay, TLC
- Medicare Child Dental Benefit - Bulk billing
- HICAPS claims processing
Eligibility for health fund benefits, payment plans, and superannuation access varies depending on the provider and individual circumstances. Terms, conditions, and lending criteria apply. Please check with your health fund or finance provider to confirm your eligibility before treatment.
If you need help sorting out the best payment arrangement for your dental care, please get in touch with your Hampton Park dentist and speak with one of our knowledgeable and helpful team members.
The cost of dental treatment depends on the type of procedures you need, and it's very specific to each patient's unique needs. The best way to determine the cost of your treatment is to book an evaluation with one of our dentists to determine your own treatment needs.
During your evaluation, our dentists discuss your oral health goals with you and gather information about your smile and dental health with an exam, x-rays, and photos of your teeth. After your evaluation, you'll clearly understand your treatment needs and options, what your timeline looks like for finishing, and the cost.

Dental Implants
Tooth implants have helped hundreds of patients; however, they require that the patient is in good general health and has enough healthy bone structure to successfully support the tooth implant.
Making Dental Implants Accessible
Our dentists use information gathered during an evaluation, like X-rays, an exam and photos of your smile, to determine if dental implants are right for your needs. If you're lacking enough healthy bone structure to support one or more dental implants, they may discuss options like a bone grafting procedure.
During a bone grafting procedure, natural or synthetic bone material is used to rebuild your jawbone so it can better support a tooth implant. After a few months of healing time, we can place your dental implants and restore your smile.
Your Hampton Park dentist will oversee your treatment every step of the way to ensure we achieve the best outcome for your smile.
How Can I Get Started?
Booking an evaluation with one of our dentists is the best way for you to determine the possibilities for your smile. During that visit, you'll learn about the best treatment options for your smile, how long it will take to complete, and what the cost would be.
We would love to talk with you about your options!
Whether you are missing one tooth or an entire arch, our dentists have the skills and expertise to restore your smile and chewing function with dental implants.
Dental Implants in Hampton Park, VIC
Dental implants are an excellent option for restoring a single missing tooth or even an entire arch. The implant is placed into your jawbone, where it takes the place of your root. As your new root, it helps to keep your jawbone healthy and stimulated to avoid deterioration.
We can also use four to six carefully placed dental implants to support a denture, which restores an entire arch of lost teeth with our all-on-x treatment concept. Combining our T24 concept with all-on-x means that you'll have your new smile completed within 24 hours.
We customise your implant restoration to blend with your natural teeth to enhance your smile or rebuild your facial structure if we're restoring an entire arch of teeth. These days, with thoughtful design, dentures look more natural than ever. Whether you're replacing one tooth or a whole arch, your smile will look beautiful.
