Before we talk numbers

Worried about cost? Ask first.

Many people put off a check-up or a sore tooth because they're unsure what it will cost. That's understandable, and it's why this page sets out every way to pay at Point Cook before you pick up the phone. Your dentist will also explain costs before any treatment starts.

Comparing ways to pay? Read about Afterpay and check its current terms before deciding. For early release of super, our SuperCare page explains that separate process and its limits.

  • Know your gap before you leave. Most health fund claims are processed on the spot through HICAPS.
  • Spread the cost. Humm, Afterpay and Zip let you pay for eligible treatment over time.
  • Other routes exist. SuperCare may help if the usual options don't fit your situation.

Claim on the spot with HICAPS.

Magical Smiles Point Cook uses HICAPS, so most private health fund benefits are worked out and claimed electronically while you're still at reception.

At the end of your appointment, the front desk swipes your card, tells you what your fund covered and what's left, and you pay the gap there and then. We accept most major private health funds through HICAPS; bring your card with you.

Not sure what your level of cover includes? Ask us before you book. Your fund can also confirm your extras limits and waiting periods.

Health fund benefits vary by fund, policy and treatment. The actual rebate is confirmed through HICAPS when you claim; Magical Smiles can't guarantee it in advance.

Three ways to pay over time.

Humm, Afterpay and Zip are all available at Point Cook for eligible treatment, so you don't have to pay a larger bill in one go. Each provider decides approval and sets its own fees.

Humm

Regular repayments over a longer term, often used for larger treatment plans. Our reception team can explain how a plan might look before you apply.

Subject to Humm's own eligibility criteria, fees and approval — terms are set by Humm, not by Magical Smiles.

Afterpay

Four instalments for smaller treatment amounts, the same Afterpay you may already use when shopping.

Subject to Afterpay's own eligibility criteria, fees and approval.

Zip

Weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments for eligible minor treatments, if Humm or Afterpay don't suit.

Subject to Zip's own eligibility criteria, fees and approval.

There's no right or wrong choice. Our team can talk through which option might suit you, with no pressure to decide on the day.

SuperCare A less obvious option

SuperCare: early access to your own super.

If a larger or urgent treatment plan is still out of reach, SuperCare may help. It's a service that helps eligible people apply for early release of part of their own superannuation, on compassionate grounds, to pay for dental treatment.

It isn't a loan, and Magical Smiles doesn't approve or manage it. Applications are assessed individually under rules set by the Australian Taxation Office.

Early release of super is only available to people who meet the eligibility rules set by the ATO and their super fund. It isn't suitable or available for everyone, and Magical Smiles does not decide applications. This is general information, not financial or tax advice; speak with SuperCare or your financial adviser about your own circumstances.

A rough starting point

What could repayments look like each fortnight?

Our budget calculator gives a rough, private estimate with no obligation. Open it from the links below.

Add the treatments you're considering and choose a plan length to see a rough weekly or fortnightly figure, calculated as an even spread in the style of a Humm plan. It asks for no personal details and isn't a quote, credit offer or approval.

Not sure where to start? Open the repayment estimator →

Estimate only — not a quote or credit approval. Your actual cost and any finance terms are confirmed directly with us or the relevant provider.

You can reopen the calculator any time from the links above.

How the estimate is worked out

It uses indicative treatment prices published on our site plus the Humm or National Dental Plan fees for the term you pick, spread evenly across a fortnightly plan. It doesn't allow for your clinical needs, fund rebates or the provider's approval criteria.

The figure updates as you adjust it. Nothing is saved, sent or shared.
