Quality Dental Care, Made Affordable for Northcote

We believe financial concerns should never stand between you and your dental health. Whether you need emergency relief, a routine check-up, or a complete smile makeover, we offer flexible payment plans to suit your budget. By partnering with Australia’s leading lenders, we allow you to start your treatment immediately and pay it off in manageable, interest-free instalments.

We are partnered with National Dental Plan which allows you to spread the cost of your dental treatment over affordable, interest free payments and get the smile that you deserve. Please click here to find out more.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these payment plans for emergency appointments?
Absolutely. We know dental emergencies are unexpected. You can use Afterpay or Zip immediately at our reception desk to cover emergency pain relief or repairs.
Do I need to be approved before my appointment?
For Afterpay, you just need the app on your phone. For Zip and Humm, we highly recommend downloading their apps and applying for pre-approval before you arrive. This ensures your budget is sorted so you can focus on your treatment.
Are there any hidden fees?
We do not charge extra for using these services. However, the providers (Humm/Zip/Afterpay) may have their own account-keeping fees or late fees if you miss a payment. We recommend checking their terms and conditions.
Do I need to pay a deposit on the day?

This depends on the plan you choose. Afterpay requires your first 25% installment upfront. Humm ‘Big Things’ usually requires a 20% deposit. Zip Pay often allows for $0 deposit. Our team can help you compare these on the day.

What happens if my treatment plan changes during the appointment?

Don’t worry – if the cost of your treatment changes, we can easily adjust your payment plan amount before you leave. We only charge you for the work actually performed.
