Common Dental Emergencies We Handle
If you have a dental emergency in Hampton Park, we encourage you to contact our team right away. When you know exactly what to do and have a dental team you can trust and rely on, the situation becomes less stressful.
Here are some of the common dental emergencies we help with and what you can do until you see us:
- Broken or chipped teeth – A broken tooth may cause sensitivity and could lead to further damage. A chipped tooth may or may not need immediate attention but contact us in either case so we can assess and determine your needs.
- Toothaches, abscesses, and infections – A persistent toothache may be indicating an infected tooth, which needs root canal treatment as soon as possible to alleviate discomfort, eliminate the infection, and preserve your natural tooth. Untreated infections can result in tooth loss.
- Avulsed or knocked-out teeth – A knocked out tooth need immediate treatment to give us the best chance of saving it.
- Lost or broken restorations like fillings, crowns, or bridges – A lost or damaged restoration will need repair or replacement to protect your tooth from further damage.

Yes! If you're considering extensive dental treatment, we can help you gain early access to your superannuation funds to help you cover the cost of your treatment. Early super access can be ideal in these situations:
- You or at least one family member have superannuation funds
- You don't have personal health fund insurance
- It would be a financial hardship to cover the cost of your treatment with personal resources
Our team can help you with the paperwork for early super access while a SuperCare representative walks you through the rest of the process. You can contact our team for more information on early super access.
Note: Accessing superannuation for dental treatment is subject to eligibility and approval by the relevant government agency. We can assist with the process, but approval is not guaranteed.
Other Convenient Payment Options
If early super access is not an option for you, we do offer other options that can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for dental care, such as:
- Preferred provider status with several private health funds, including Medibank, Bupa, HCF, NIB, CBHS
- Relationships with third-party companies that can offer affordable monthly payment plans, like Humm, Afterpay, TLC
- Medicare Child Dental Benefit - Bulk billing
- HICAPS claims processing
Eligibility for health fund benefits, payment plans, and superannuation access varies depending on the provider and individual circumstances. Terms, conditions, and lending criteria apply. Please check with your health fund or finance provider to confirm your eligibility before treatment.
If you need help sorting out the best payment arrangement for your dental care, please get in touch with your Hampton Park dentist and speak with one of our knowledgeable and helpful team members.
The cost of dental treatment depends on the type of procedures you need, and it's very specific to each patient's unique needs. The best way to determine the cost of your treatment is to book an evaluation with one of our dentists to determine your own treatment needs.
During your evaluation, our dentists discuss your oral health goals with you and gather information about your smile and dental health with an exam, x-rays, and photos of your teeth. After your evaluation, you'll clearly understand your treatment needs and options, what your timeline looks like for finishing, and the cost.
