Maximise Your Private Health Insurance Extras
At Pacific Smiles Dental, we welcome all health fund members. Many private health funds offer extras cover that can help reduce the cost of dental treatments, including check-ups, cleans, fluoride treatments, and more. Benefits and annual limits vary between health funds and levels of cover, so we recommend checking with your private health fund provider to understand what’s included in your extras.
All Health Funds Welcome
No matter which health fund you belong to, you are welcome at Pacific Smiles Dental. Many of the dentists are preferred providers for major health funds, including:

Use your extras before they expire
Most health fund extras expire on 31st December and reset on 1st January, meaning any unused dental benefits will not roll over into the new year. Annual limits vary across health funds, so be sure to book your appointment before the year ends to maximise your benefits. Keep in mind that some health funds reset at the end of the financial year (30th June) instead. It’s important to check with your health fund to know when your benefits renew.

Frequently Asked Questions
A preferred provider is a Dentist or dental centre that has an agreement with specific health funds to offer enhanced benefits, like reduced fees or no gap check-ups, to members of those health funds. This partnership helps eligible members save on out-of-pocket costs.
No gap dental means you won’t have to pay out-of-pocket costs for certain dental services, like check-ups, if you’re covered by a partner health fund. Eligible nib and ahm members with extras cover may qualify for no gap check-ups and other services.
Most health fund extras reset on January 1, meaning unused benefits may expire on December 31st. However, some health funds reset at the end of the financial year, on June 30th. It’s best to check with your health fund to confirm when your benefits reset, so you can make the most of your extras before they expire.
You can check your remaining benefits by contacting your health fund directly or logging into your online health fund account. They can provide details on what is available in your annual limits.
This depends on your level of cover and the specific terms of your health fund policy. Common services covered by extras may include check-ups, cleanings, and sometimes more extensive treatments. Contact your health fund for exact details on your plan.
Yes, please bring your health fund card to every appointment so we can process your claim on the spot, minimising any out-of-pocket costs. However, if you forget to bring your card, we can provide an itemised receipt for you to claim directly with your health fund.
