Dental fees are influenced by many factors that vary from dentist to dentist. Dental fees are usually more expensive in rural areas.
Different materials can impact dental fees, as well as the dentist's technique. Some dentists may invest in special equipment, which results in higher overhead costs and higher dental fees.

Smile™ members get reduced and capped dental fees on the spot on all treatments when visiting a Smile™ dentist. To see the detailed breakdown of your benefits, simply scan/upload your dental invoice in your Smile™ app.
Although some medical work is supported by Medicare, Medicare provides little support for dental fees. Medicare uses means-testing to determine eligibility and only subsidises dental fees if they are considered essential for a patient's wellbeing.
Bulk billed dental is only available at certain dentists to those holding a Medicare Card and you may need to be issued a dental treatment voucher by the relevant government authority. To check your eligibility for dental bulk billing, you will need to contact Medicare. Dentists cannot advise you of your eligibility and may not actually offer bulk-billing.
In most cases, Smile™ cannot be used on top of the Child Dental Benefit Scheme, or CDBS. If the Smile™ dentist provides bulk billing for the CDBS, the practice has to charge the set fees provided by Medicare.
However, CDBS has a cap on what you can claim in each 2 year calendar period. So, you can benefit with Smile™ when the CDBS cap has been reached or for treatments not covered by the CDBS, such as cosmetic treatments and orthodontics.
