At Sherwood Smiles, we make high quality dental care easy and affordable. We offer a range of flexible payment options including Afterpay, ZIP and SuperCare, and we also accept government programs such as the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) and Metro South Hospital dental vouchers. These options can help you access the dental care you need without financial stress.
We also have HICAPS available onsite for fast and convenient health fund claims, so in many cases, depending on your level of cover, you’ll only need to pay the gap on the day. As Preferred Providers for nib and CBHS, eligible members may also enjoy greater value and savings on their dental treatment.
We accept all major cards, including Visa, Mastercard and American Express. Cash is also welcome; however, please note that we keep limited change on-site.
We offer payment via PAYID or bank transfer. If you’d like to use this option, please call us on (07) 3379 6881 and we’ll provide the required details. We recommend processing transfers at least two days in advance to prevent any delays to your treatment.
We accept all private health funds and offer on-the-spot claiming through our HICAPS terminal. You can claim your rebate immediately and simply pay the gap, if applicable.
Flexible payment options including Afterpay, Zip, and our own interest-free in-house payment plans are available. These options allow you to spread treatment costs into manageable installments, and our team can assist you with choosing and setting up the option that suits you best.
SuperCare assists individuals and their families in times of medical need by facilitating the application process for the Compassionate Release of Superannuation (CRS). This allows you to access your superannuation and eliminate the stress associated with paying for expensive, yet essential, dental treatments.
We proudly participate in the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), a government program that helps eligible families access essential dental care for children aged 2–17 years. Eligible children may receive up to $1,158 in dental benefits over a two-calendar-year period, which can be used for a range of basic dental services.
A child is eligible for the CDBS if they:
✔ are aged 2–17 years at any point in the calendar year
✔ are eligible for Medicare
✔ receive, or have a parent/guardian receiving, an eligible Centrelink payment (e.g. Family Tax Benefit Part A) at any time during the calendar year
The program helps cover essential dental services, including:
✔ examinations
✔ cleans
✔ X-rays
✔ fissure sealants
✔ fillings
✔ extractions
✔ root canal treatment
Please note: CDBS does not cover orthodontics, cosmetic procedures or any treatment performed in a hospital setting.
Our team can check your child’s eligibility over the phone or at your appointment. We bulk bill eligible CDBS services, meaning no out-of-pocket cost for approved items up to your remaining benefit limit.
Sherwood Smiles is approved to accept Metro South Hospital dental vouchers. In Queensland, patients on the public dental waiting list may be offered a dental voucher from Queensland Health to access treatment through select private dental clinics. This helps eligible public patients receive timely care while waiting for their appointment at the public dental service.
If you have a voucher, our team can help you understand what treatments are included and guide you through the process.
At Sherwood Smiles, we are honoured to support eligible veterans and war widows through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) dental program. If you hold a Gold Card or an eligible White Card, you may be entitled to fully covered dental treatment depending on your card type and clinical needs.
We provide a wide range of DVA-approved services, including preventive care, fillings, extractions, dentures, and emergency appointments. Our team will guide you through the process, confirm your eligibility, and help you understand any requirements before treatment begins.
