Easy Payment Plans
Payment Options / Plans
Payment plans are essentially loans, which can support you in managing the high cost of dental treatment.

We have onboard, payment plan service providers who will make your payment plan’s instalments even more affordable.
There are several payment options available at our surgery including Cash, Cheque, EFTPOS, Credit Card, HICAPS, AMEX and Direct Deposit.
