Which dental procedures can be paid for with SuperCare?

SuperCare facilitates the early release of superannuation funds to cover a wide range of dental procedures, including:

  • General Dentistry:
    This covers routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and other basic dental care services essential for maintaining good oral health.
  • Crowns:
    These tooth-shaped caps are used to restore the shape, size, and strength of damaged teeth, improving both function and appearance.
  • Root Canal Therapy:
    This procedure addresses infected tooth pulp and prevents further damage, preserving teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
  • Periodontal Treatment:
    This type of treatment addresses issues related to the structures supporting teeth, including various stages of gum disease.
  • Orthodontics:
    This includes comprehensive treatments like braces and aligners that are designed to adjust teeth alignment and improve overall oral health.
  • Dental Implants:
    These are surgical components that replace missing teeth, providing patients with a natural-looking and fully functional option for tooth loss.

To use SuperCare at Prestige Smiles, here are the steps:

  1. Initial Consultation:
    Schedule an appointment with us. Discuss your treatment plan and obtain a cost estimate from the dentist.
  2. Application Process:
    Inform your dentist that you’re interested in using SuperCare for financing. Our team will submit your details to SuperCare using an online referral form. A SuperCare consultant will then contact you to assist with completing application forms and collecting necessary documentation.

    SuperCare will help you gather the required documents, including:
    • Medical reports
    • An itemised quote or unpaid invoice for the treatment
    • A copy of your treatment plan
  4. Submission and Approval:
    SuperCare reviews your application for completeness. They then submit it to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for approval, usually taking up to 14 days for assessment.
  5. Funding and Treatment:
    If approved, the ATO will notify you. Funds are released and transferred directly to our dental clinic, and you can proceed with your dental treatment without delay.

The SuperCare application process usually takes between four and six weeks from start to finish. This timeline allows for various stages of the application:

  1. Initial Consultation:
    During your consultation, your dentist will develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
  2. Online Application:
    Completing the SuperCare application can take a few hours to a day, depending on your preparedness.
  3. Document Submission:
    This stage involves gathering and submitting required documents, which may take a few days to complete.
  4. Application Review:
    SuperCare will review your application, a process that is usually completed within three to five business days.
  5. Outcome Notification:
    You will receive notification of the application outcome, often within a week after the review is completed.
  6. Fund Release:
    If approved, the funds will be released and paid directly to the dental clinic. This process may take up to 14 days.

Applying for SuperCare requires providing specific personal and medical information to facilitate the early release of superannuation funds for dental treatments. The following details are usually required when submitting a SuperCare application:

  • Personal Information:
    You need to provide your full name, date of birth, and nationality. You also need to supply your contact details, including your residential address, phone number, and email address.
  • Superannuation Details:
    You must include information about your superannuation fund, including the fund name and your member number.
  • Medical Documentation:
    You must submit medical records and a treatment plan from your dental provider outlining the procedure’s necessity.
  • Financial Information:
    You need to provide evidence of financial hardship and inability to pay for the treatment through other means.
  • Identification Documents:
    You must submit copies of government-issued identification documents to verify your identity.
  • Consent Forms:
    You must sign consent forms allowing SuperCare to access your superannuation information and communicate with relevant parties on your behalf.

SuperCare allows you to access your superannuation for dental care with no explicit limit on how many times it can be used. You can apply as often as needed, provided you meet the eligibility criteria each time. However, each application is assessed individually based on specific requirements.

The early release of superannuation for dental care is granted on compassionate grounds and requires approval from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Each request is carefully reviewed so that the funds are used exclusively for the intended medical purpose.
