You simply call and make an appointment with any of our participating dentists and advise them that you are a Dentacare member.

After receiving treatment at the dentist, you will need to show the receptionist or dentist your Dentacare card (or email with your membership number if you have signed up online and are awaiting your card) and they will bill you at the rate listed for that treatment in the current Dentacare fee schedule.

Any service you receive or any item/s that are not listed on the schedule are charged at 15% less than the usual practice fee.

Members pay a special low yearly membership fee. This membership entitles you and/or your family to immediate cover without any waiting or qualifying periods.
