What extras cover usually pays toward
Most funds group dental care into levels. Your policy decides which levels you have and how much you get back.
Preventive dental
Check-ups, scale and clean, X-rays and fissure sealants. Many extras policies include this level.
General dental
Fillings, simple extractions and some gum treatment. Often part of mid-level extras.
Major dental
Crowns, bridges, root canals, dentures and implants. Usually on higher extras, often with longer waiting periods.
Children: the CDBS
Eligible children may qualify for free dental care up to $1,095 every two years under the CDBS. This is a Medicare scheme, separate from your fund.
What is a gap payment?
The gap is the part of the fee your fund does not pay. You pay it at the clinic on the day.
Your gap depends mostly on your policy. These things change it:
- Your level of extras cover.
- Your annual dental limit, and how much of it you have used this year.
- Waiting periods on a new or upgraded policy.
- The item numbers for your treatment. Each fund pays its own set amount per item.
Ask us for the item numbers on your quote. Your fund can then tell you your rebate before treatment.
Ways to pay the gap
- Pay on the day at the front desk
- Afterpay: four equal payments, due every fortnight
- Zip Pay: interest-free instalments for treatment over $1,000
- Payment plans for families not covered by the CDBS
How to check your cover before you book
A short check with your fund avoids a surprise at the front desk.
Do this first
- Log in to your fund app or website and open your extras cover.
- Look up your dental annual limit and how much is left.
- Check for any waiting periods that still apply.
- Ask us for a quote with item numbers, then give them to your fund.
Things that can lower your rebate
- You have used up your annual limit for the year.
- The treatment falls inside a waiting period.
- Your extras level does not include major dental.
- You are not listed on the policy.
Still unsure? Bring your card to the clinic for a free quote on the spot.

HBF and health fund questions
Do you accept HBF?
Yes. We accept HBF and all other health funds. You can claim your rebate on the spot with our HICAPS system.
How do I find an HBF dentist in Perth?
Choose a clinic that accepts HBF and claims on the spot with HICAPS. Bentley Plaza Dental Clinic does both. We are inside Bentley Plaza Shopping Centre on Albany Hwy, next to Hungry Jack's.
Can I claim on the day?
Yes. Bring your health fund card. We process the claim through HICAPS before you leave, and you pay only the gap.
Will I have a gap to pay?
Usually, yes. Most extras policies pay part of the fee, not all of it. Your gap depends on your level of cover, your annual limit and any waiting periods. Ask for a free quote first.
Do I need a referral to see a dentist with HBF?
No. You can book directly with a general dentist. You do not need a referral to claim on extras cover.
Can I use Afterpay or Zip Pay for the gap?
Yes. Afterpay splits the cost into four equal payments, due every fortnight. Zip Pay suits treatment over $1,000, with interest-free instalments. Each provider approves you separately.
Does my health fund cover dental care for children?
