No Gaps Dental Care in Sydney

At No Gaps Dental, we believe quality dental care should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford unexpected bills. Our No Gaps Guarantee means that if you have private health insurance with dental cover, we accept your health fund’s benefit as full payment for a range of preventive and general dental treatments. You pay nothing extra.

We have been Sydney’s original no gap dentist since we opened, and our guarantee applies across all 18 of our Sydney locations.

What Does ‘No Gaps’ Actually Mean?

When you visit a dentist, the cost of treatment is typically split into two parts: the benefit your health fund pays, and the gap, which is the out-of-pocket amount left for you to cover.

Our No Gaps Guarantee eliminates that gap. Whatever your health fund contributes, we accept that as full payment for eligible treatments. Compared to many other dental clinics where you need to pay the gap, at No Gaps Dental, you walk out having paid nothing beyond what your insurance already covers.

A real-life example

Here is how a typical preventive dental visit may work under the No Gaps Guarantee for an eligible patient with private health insurance.

Health fund pays + No Gaps waived = NO Out of Pocket expenses for the patient.

For a family of four attending two eligible preventive visits per year, the value of waived gaps may exceed $2,300 annually.

Figures are indicative only and based on an example NIB patient policy. Rebates and eligibility depend on your health fund, level of cover, annual limits, waiting periods and item numbers. We’ll confirm your eligibility and any out-of-pocket costs before treatment.

What’s Included Under the No Gaps Guarantee?

The following treatments are covered for eligible patients with private health insurance:

• Dental check-up and examination
• Scale and clean
• Fluoride treatment
• Small digital x-rays and OPGs
• Simple restorative fillings (white, tooth-coloured composite material)

Note: a gap payment applies for check-ups where no other treatment is provided on the same day.

All other treatments, including major dental work, orthodontics, implants, and cosmetic procedures, are not covered. A gap amount may apply for those.

Speak to our team before your appointment if you would like a cost estimate.

How Much Does a Dental Check-Up Cost?

With Private Health Insurance

Your check-up and clean is covered under our No Gaps Guarantee. You pay nothing out of pocket, provided your policy is active and your annual benefit limits have not been reached.

Without Private Health Insurance

Basic examination: $100 for a 30-minute appointment.

Hygiene package: $199 for adults, or $150 for children under 12. Includes a check-up, scale and clean, two bitewing x-rays, and fluoride treatment.

You may also be eligible for subsidised care through Medicare’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule, Veterans Affairs (DVA), or Hospital Vouchers. See our Payment Plans page for details.

How to Qualify for the No Gaps Guarantee

The following conditions must be met on the day of your treatment:

• Your private health insurance policy is active and includes dental cover
• You have your current, valid health fund card with you, physical or digital
• Your annual benefit limit has not been reached, and a full benefit is received for each treatment item

If your fund pays only a partial benefit because you have partially reached your annual limit, a gap may apply for that portion.

When the Guarantee Does Not Apply

The full treatment fee will be payable if your annual benefit limit has been reached, your premiums are overdue or your policy has lapsed, or you are not eligible for a benefit on a specific treatment item. If you are unsure, we recommend calling your health fund before your appointment.

Check your health fund’s website for the most current information.
