SuperCare
SuperCare is an external service that helps eligible patients access their superannuation for essential dental and surgical treatment.
Many people do not realise that they may be able to use their super to cover treatment for themselves or an eligible family member. This can be very helpful for larger procedures such as:
- Dental implants
- Complex extractions and oral surgery
- Full mouth rehabilitation
- Major restorative treatment that you have been postponing due to cost
At Dental Nook, we can:
- Explain how SuperCare works
- Help you understand which treatments may qualify
- Assist you with the application process so it feels smooth and less stressful
Approval of any application is made by the relevant authorities, not by Dental Nook. Our role is to support you with paperwork and clinical information so you can access care sooner, where appropriate.
If you are facing financial barriers to treatment, ask our team whether SuperCare might be an option for you.
Afterpay
Afterpay allows you to receive your dental treatment now and pay it off in four interest-free instalments over time, subject to Afterpay approval and limits.
Using Afterpay at Dental Nook is simple.
- Download the Afterpay app and create your account before your visit.
- At your appointment, let our reception team know that you would like to use Afterpay.
- We process your payment in the clinic, and you pay the first instalment on the day.
- The remaining instalments are managed directly through your Afterpay account.
This can be a helpful way to manage the cost of treatment, such as fillings, cleaning, whitening or unexpected urgent care, without putting off your appointment.
Please remember that terms, spending limits and any late fees are set by Afterpay. Our team can guide you, but we recommend checking the latest details in your Afterpay app or on their website.
Zip
Flexible payment with Zip so you can treat now and pay later. Zip lets you spread the cost of your dental treatment into smaller instalments rather than paying the full amount on the day. Once approved, you can use your Zip account to pay for eligible treatment and then repay Zip over time through your app.
Typical uses include:
- Check-ups and cleans
- Fillings and simple restorative work
- Cosmetic treatment, such as whitening or veneers
- Urgent care that you do not want to delay
Our reception team can explain how Zip works at your appointment and guide you through the steps you need to complete in your own app. All limits, fees and conditions are set by Zip, so we always recommend checking the latest information on the Zip website or in your app before you apply.
DentiCare Payment Plan
Structured payment plans for larger treatment. DentiCare Payment Plan is a dedicated dental payment solution that lets you pay for treatment in regular instalments over an agreed period. This can be very helpful for larger or staged treatment plans such as crowns, bridges, implants, orthodontic treatment, smile makeovers and full mouth rehabilitation.
Key benefits:
- No interest or hidden account fees from DentiCare
- Flexible repayment schedules, weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on the plan you choose
- Simple application process with quick approval in most cases

Our team can prepare a treatment plan and an estimate, then help you apply for a DentiCare Payment Plan if it suits your budget. Approval is provided by DentiCare and is subject to their criteria.
TLC
Total Lifestyle Credit for comprehensive dental treatment. TLC Total Lifestyle Credit is a medical and dental finance provider that offers personal loans for treatment. TLC can pay your dentist directly for approved treatment, and you then repay TLC in regular instalments.
TLC may be suitable if you:
- need a full treatment plan, such as extensive restorative or cosmetic dentistry
- prefer a longer repayment term than a typical buy now pay later service
- want one simple repayment that can include several stages of treatment
TLC loans can include interest and set-up fees, and approval is based on your personal financial situation. At Dental Nook, we can provide the treatment estimate that TLC requires and answer any questions about the clinical side of your plan. For loan terms, interest rates and eligibility, you will need to review TLC information or speak with their team directly.
