Free Adolescent’s Dental Care
Adolescents aged 13- 18 years of age, who are New Zealand residents, can receive basic dental treatment at no cost. It does not cover braces, orthodontic treatment or treatment that is required as the result of an accident. Though only silver fillings are paid for by the plan, we may be able to place a white filling at a reduced fee, which we’ll speak with you about during your consultation. Children younger than 13 are able to get free dental care through the school clinics.
ACC and Dentistry
If you have had an injury through an accident and your teeth or mouth is damaged, you may be able to claim your treatment costs through the ACC (Accident Compensation Corporation). You must be registered with the ACC within one year of your accident. It costs $125 for a consultation and report, and the ACC will refund you $53.58 of the cost (as of May 2020). The ACC will pay approximately 40-60% of the total fees. We’ll give you an estimate on what you can expect from the ACC. You will pay in full for treatment, then have your receipt and our report forwarded to the ACC. Your refund is received in 10-14 days at our practice and immediately sent on to you.
