At Jacaranda Dental, we believe every child deserves access to regular, quality dental care for kids in Caringbah, regardless of the rising cost of living. With the school holidays in full swing, it’s the perfect time to book your child or teenager in for their routine dental check-up. To make children’s dental care more affordable for local families, we’ve updated our fees to significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
100% Gap-Free Preventive Dental Care for Children with Private Health Insurance
If your child has private health insurance with dental cover, Jacaranda Dental now offers 100% gap-free dental for preschool and school-aged children. This means there’s no out-of-pocket cost for their regular six-monthly preventive dental appointments, including:
- Comprehensive dental check-ups
- Professional cleans
- Fluoride treatments
- Necessary in-mouth X-rays
Regular dental visits are an important part of maintaining your child’s oral health and allow our dental team to identify any potential issues early.
Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) at Jacaranda Dental
If your child is eligible for the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), there’s no change to your current arrangement. Preventive dental care continues to be fully bulk-billed with no out-of-pocket costs. Please note that more complex dental treatment may attract an out-of-pocket gap.
No Private Health Insurance? We’ve Reduced Our Fees
We understand that not every family has private health insurance or access to Medicare dental benefits. That’s why we’ve also substantially reduced our flat-rate fees for children and young adults without health insurance or Medicare coverage.
Our complete preventive dental visit includes a check-up, clean, fluoride treatment and any necessary X-rays. Our reduced fees are:
| Age Group | Fee |
|---|---|
| Under 6 years | $105 |
| 6 to 12 years | $120 |
| 12 to 18 years | $150 |
| 18 to 22 years | $220 |
Whether your child is having their first dental visit or continuing their regular six-monthly check-ups, our aim is to make quality children’s dental care as accessible as possible for local families.
The Same Friendly Faces You Know and Trust
Your children will continue to receive the same warm, gentle and thorough care from the Jacaranda Dental team. Our dentists and team members, Anita, Rylee, Glen and Danneil, take the time to create a relaxed and positive dental experience for children and teenagers.
During their gap free dental appointment, we will:
- Thoroughly check their teeth and monitor their oral health
- Track their dental development as they grow
- Monitor orthodontic growth and alignment
- Identify any potential dental concerns early
- Demonstrate effective brushing and cleaning techniques
- Help make dental care feel fun, comfortable and stress-free
Our goal is to help children develop positive dental habits that will support their oral health for years to come.
No Financial Surprises
If additional dental treatment is ever recommended, we will always provide you with a clear, upfront quote before proceeding. We’ll also check your health fund contribution where applicable, so you understand the expected costs before any treatment begins.
At Jacaranda Dental, we believe parents should have the information they need to make confident decisions about their child’s dental care.
