No gap dental check-ups

You could get up to 2 dental check-ups per financial year with no out of pocket cost with eligible products at selected dentists^, subject to annual limits. With dental benefit payments averaging around $160*, that’s value you can really sink your teeth into!

No gap dental check-ups include:

  • Periodic and comprehensive examination (012 & 011)
  • Clean and polish OR scale and clean (111 & 114)
  • Fluoride treatment (121)

Not included in no gap dental:

  • X-rays
