Insurance
All private health insurance plans are accepted at Centennial Smiles. We are not preferred providers for any specific plan.
Our Randwick dental clinic believes that your dentistry is your decision to make. Dr Andrew Dunn is always happy to explain all of your options and the benefits of each so that you can make an informed decision regarding your oral health. It is for this reason that our office chooses not to participate in any private health insurance company preferred provider scheme. Dental clinics that are contracted with private health insurance companies as preferred providers are required to provide specific dental treatment options under specific business rules. This can result in treatment other than what the patient wants and needs.
Working With Your Insurance
At Centennial Smiles, we provide the most appropriate treatment for your dental needs. We will discuss any dental condition in detail and answer all of your questions, so you feel confident in your decision. Your private health insurance will pay rebates based on your contract with them. We will work with you to obtain the information you need to plan for the finances of your treatment. We provide the finest dentistry available today, and our patients consider our quality dental treatments to be of great value.
If you have questions about the cost of treatment or your private health insurance benefits, please contact us.
Each private health fund may pay different rebates for specific dental services. We use HICAPS EFTPOS electronic claiming from your health fund for added convenience. Our clinic prides itself on providing the most appropriate treatment rather than only treatment allowed by business rules of an insurance company. We will work with you to have a healthy, beautiful smile that feels comfortable and supports overall wellness.
Advanced Dental Technology
We understand that patients will have questions regarding the necessity of their treatment. We use digital x-rays, intraoral cameras and 3-D cone beam technology to diagnose and explain dental conditions to our patients properly. This information empowers our patients to make decisions that help them meet their goals for their oral health.
Contact Us For Further Questions
If you have questions about your insurance benefits and how they will affect your overall treatment, we are happy to discuss details with you. We also realise the importance of giving patients all of their options and allowing them to make a choice. We support your decisions for your smile. We are not in the business of selling dentistry; rather, we see ourselves as partners in your oral health.
When you schedule your initial appointment, you will be provided with a quote for that appointment because no one likes financial surprises.
After your initial exam and diagnostic x-rays, Dr Dunn will be able to identify and diagnose any conditions that require professional treatment. We will consult with you and discuss everything that requires your attention. After your consultation, we will provide a written treatment plan that details any fees and answer any questions you may have.
We understand that cost is a concern for many patients these days. We present our costs honestly and help patients find solutions to have the treatment they need to stay healthy.
Dental Treatment to Fit Your Budget
If we need to address the most immediate conditions first, we can phase your treatment in a way that allows you to fit it into a budget.
It is always our practise to discuss all treatment options available so you can decide what will work best for you. After all, it is your smile.
By providing the highest level of care, we increase the value we provide. Dr Dunn is conscientious and dedicated to helping the families of Randwick achieve healthy and beautiful smiles that last a lifetime.
