Frequently Asked Questions

Am I Eligible For A Payment Plan?

Each payment plan provider has its own approval process and criteria to assess your eligibility. They may look at your credit score, income, and any history of tax debt. However, some major providers do not take credit checks at all.

Virtually all major plans require you to be 18 years or older and have a valid debit or credit card, email address and mobile phone number. You may also need to prove that you have a certain income.

When entering a payment agreement, you should also be confident that you can keep up with your repayment schedule as agreed, or you risk penalties for missed payments.

What Dental Treatments Can Be Covered With A Payment Plan?

Payment plans can be used for a wide range of treatments, encompassing almost any work involving your teeth and gums or broader oral health. You can use a payment plan for general dentistry, including major treatments like full-mouth rehabilitation and dental implants. Plans can also cover cosmetic dentistry, including teeth whitening, crowns, and veneers, amongst many other procedures. You can also use a plan for aligners or emergency dentistry.

How Do Dental Payment Plans Work?

Like any loan, a payment plan is a commitment.

The conditions of a payment plan are flexible, and often vary depending on the amount and duration of the loan. The timespan for a payment plan is commonly 6 months, 12 months, or 24 months. A deposit may or may not be necessary, and while monthly repayments are common, weekly and fortnightly options may also be available. If your application for a plan is approved, you will need to finalise its terms to suit your personal circumstances.
