At Everyday Smiles, we recommend and encourage our patients to get private health insurance - since relying on Medicare alone for your dental care needs doesn't cover even the most basic dental services.

We accept ALL heath funds, and can process your claims automatically & on-the-spot via our HICAPS system! We are also preferred providers for Medibank Private (Members’ Choice Advantage), HCF, NIB and CBHS.
