Flexible payment plans with Denticare or Humm

Understanding that some treatments may not be fully covered by insurance, we’ve partnered with Denticare and Humm to offer flexible payment plans. These plans are designed to make your dental care more manageable by spreading the cost over time with low monthly payments. You have the option of an upfront deposit to make your monthly payments lower or just paying the balance off each month for 24 months. For more information on how these plans can work for you, please talk to Helen or Di at our front desk.

One plan for everything. Because Dr Gaffey provides your orthodontics and your general dentistry, your braces or Invisalign, any tooth extractions your treatment needs, and any other dental work can be combined on a single payment plan — one set of payments instead of separate bills. Any extractions can also be done at a routine wire-change visit rather than as a separate appointment, which means fewer trips.

Insurance Information

Navigating insurance claims can be complex, but our team is here to simplify the process for you. With Hicaps facilities on-site, we can process your private health insurance claims instantly, reducing your upfront costs. Health Funds often require item codes that are specific for braces and orthodontics. Each health fund has different requirements and can require assistance from us to help navigate the insurance sector. Helen and Di will be able to assist you with the correct information.

Payment Options Adelaide FAQs

How much do braces typically cost in Adelaide?

The cost of braces in Adelaide can vary widely, generally ranging from AUD $6,000 to $10,500. The exact price depends on the type of braces, the complexity of the orthodontic issue, the type of practice you see  and the duration of the treatment.

Are there different costs for metal braces vs. clear aligners in Adelaide?

Yes, there can be a difference in costs. Traditional metal braces are often less expensive than clear aligners like Invisalign. Clear aligners offer a more discreet treatment option, which can contribute to their higher price point.

Do dental health funds cover the cost of braces in Adelaide?

Many dental health funds offer partial coverage for orthodontic treatments, including braces. The amount covered and the terms of insurance vary by provider, so it’s important to check with your specific health fund.

Can I get a payment plan for braces in Adelaide?

Yes, many orthodontic clinics in Adelaide, including Cumberland Dental, offer flexible payment plans to make braces more affordable. These plans typically allow you to pay for your treatment in instalments over time.

Are there any additional costs I should be aware of when getting braces in Adelaide?

At some orthodontic practices there are additional expenses on top of the initial cost of braces, such as initial consultations, follow-up visits, emergency appointments, repairs to broken brackets, and retainers after the braces are removed. We are different at Cumberland Dental: our all-inclusive quote covers all of these visits, including unlimited repairs to broken brackets – we never charge for them. Where a bonded retainer wire is used after treatment (uncommon), repairs are included twice within two years before we transition you to clear retainers. It’s best to discuss all potential costs with your orthodontic provider upfront.
