Payment options
HICAPS
HICAPS is available on-site for same-day health fund rebate claims. Bring your health fund card and we will process the claim at the time of payment — you pay only the gap. Most extras policies provide a rebate for specialist endodontic treatment (item codes 015, 411, 414, 416, 417, etc.), though the amount varies by fund, policy level and annual limits. We can provide the item codes before your appointment so you can check your entitlements with your fund.
Payment plans
Payment plans are available through a third-party provider. Please speak with our reception team at your consultation to discuss this option.
Other payment methods
We accept EFTPOS, Visa, Mastercard, American Express and bank transfer. Payment is due on the day of treatment unless other arrangements have been made in advance.
Why specialist endodontic treatment is priced the way it is
The fee for specialist endodontic treatment reflects the training, time and technology that underpin a predictable long-term outcome:
- Specialist training — AHPRA registered specialist endodontists have completed an additional 3 years of postgraduate training beyond their general dental degree.
- Clinical time — most root canals take 60–90 minutes per visit; complex anatomy requires longer. Your tooth gets the time it needs.
- Operating microscope — used on every case. Essential for locating all canals, identifying cracks, and treating calcified anatomy.
- CBCT imaging — three-dimensional imaging for complex cases, included in the consultation fee where indicated.
- Fotona SkyPulse laser — SWEEPS laser-assisted disinfection used on appropriate cases for deep biofilm disruption.
- Bioceramic materials — the current clinical standard for sealing root canals.
- Consistent outcomes — all of the above translate directly into a more predictable long-term result for your tooth.
