Emergency dental care
Dental emergencies are seen as priority appointments where possible. Our emergency dental hub covers common situations and what to do, and our after-hours care page explains how to manage a problem outside of business hours. If you are unsure how urgent your situation is, Is it an emergency? walks through the common signs.
Health funds, HICAPS and preferred-provider status
Sandgate Family Dental is a preferred provider for HCF, CBHS, nib, HIF, and an approved provider for Smile.com.au. Preferred-provider arrangements can reduce the out-of-pocket portion of eligible treatments depending on your level of cover.
We are also a HICAPS provider and process on-the-spot claims for most major Australian health funds at the time of your appointment, so your rebate is applied directly to your account and you only pay any remaining out-of-pocket portion. Rebates, annual limits and waiting periods vary by fund and policy. Our health funds hub explains how this works in detail, including the CDBS children’s benefit and how cover applies to major dental work and preventive care. Please check your individual cover before treatment.
