Payment Options

At Portside Dental, we believe everyone deserves quality dental care. That’s why we offer a range of flexible payment plans to accommodate your financial needs and make your dental experience as accessible and stress-free as possible.

This means you no longer have to postpone dental treatment due to finances. Say goodbye to unnecessary pain or discomfort because you can have your treatment now and pay later. We firmly believe that your oral health should never be compromised, and with our flexible payment plans, it doesn’t have to be.

With our flexible payment plans, including Afterpay, and Humm, you can choose the option that works best for you. Additionally, did you know you can access your superannuation early to cover specific dental treatments for yourself or eligible family members? All these plans provide the convenience of paying for your dental treatments in manageable instalments, allowing you to prioritise your oral health without any financial strain.

So why wait any longer? Experience the exceptional care and flexible payment options at Portside Dental today. Take control of your oral health with a payment plan to suit your needs. Don’t let financial constraints prevent you from receiving the quality dental care you deserve. Visit us at Portside Dental and discover a new world of dental care tailored just for you!

Denticare

For your convenience, our practice partners with DentiCare Payment Solutions, a trusted third-party service to professionally manage direct debit payments to spread the cost of treatment over time.  We are dedicated to ensuring that our patients can comfortably afford their treatments. To achieve this, we adhere to responsible lending practices, which may involve DentiCare asking you to confirm your ability to pay without causing financial hardship. This approach is essential for maintaining trust and transparency between our practice and our patients.
 
DentiCare is not a credit provider and does not offer Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services. Payment plans are simple, transparent, and designed to help patients manage the cost of treatment without financial stress. Terms and eligibility criteria apply.
 

SuperCare

SuperCare is an ideal payment plan option suitable for individuals or families who:

  • May not have sufficient or available funds to cover their dental treatment
  • Don't have relevant or sufficient private health insurance
  • Have one member with Superannuation funds

SuperCare will offer you guidance and support on accessing your Super and explain the eligibility criteria and covered dental treatments. They’ll also assist in completing the required paperwork for a two-step application process to access your superannuation funds.

Afterpay

Afterpay is a convenient payment option that allows you to split your purchase into four equal instalments. Afterpay also has other benefits, including:

  • Interest-free payments when you pay in 4 instalments on time
  • Quick Approval Process – approval subject to eligibility and lending criteria
  • Transparent Fees – no upfront costs, late fees may apply

Afterpay is a form of credit. Ensure it suits your financial situation before proceeding. Learn more and see full terms and conditions here.
