We accept all major Australian health funds with HICAPS on-the-spot claiming — no paperwork, no waiting. As a preferred provider for HCF, nib, CBHS, Bupa, Medibank Private, Australian Unity, and Smile.com.au, eligible members often pay $0 gap on their annual checkup and clean.
Temporary Relocation
Our Queen Street practice (opposite the Uptown car park) is undergoing repairs after ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred. Dr Vincent, Dr Allen and Dr Jenny are currently seeing patients at First Dental Studio, Level 1, 245 Albert St, Brisbane CBD — about 10 minutes from our usual location.
Central Brisbane Dental processes health fund claims on the spot via HICAPS — no paperwork, no waiting, no out-of-pocket surprises. We accept every registered Australian health fund.
HICAPS is connected directly to every registered health fund in Australia. We swipe your card, your rebate is deducted instantly, and you only pay any remaining gap — right at the reception desk, before you leave.
As a preferred provider for HCF, nib, CBHS, Australian Unity, Bupa, Medibank Private, and Smile.com.au, our patients with these funds receive a higher rebate — often meaning $0 gap on preventive treatments like checkups and cleans.
Not sure which health fund you have? We accept all major Australian health funds with HICAPS claiming.
Contact UsWe handle the claim for you. All you need to bring is your health fund membership card — or your digital card on your phone.
Present your private health fund membership card at reception — physical card, digital card, or mobile app all work. If you're not sure of your fund or cover level, our team can look up your entitlements on the spot.
After your appointment, we swipe your card through the HICAPS terminal. Your fund receives the claim electronically and returns the rebate amount in seconds — no paperwork, no waiting days for reimbursement.
Your fund's rebate is deducted automatically. If your policy covers the full cost of treatment, you pay nothing. If there's a remaining gap, you pay that at reception by card or cash — and we provide a full itemised receipt.
Preferred provider status is a formal agreement between a dental practice and a health fund. It means our patients with those funds receive a higher benefit — not a marketing claim.
A non-preferred provider dentist bills your fund at the standard rate — you receive the standard benefit and pay whatever gap remains. As a preferred provider, we have agreed to work within the fund's benefit limits for core preventive treatments, which typically means $0 gap for things like checkups, cleans, and x-rays.
This matters most for your regular checkup and clean. With HCF, nib, CBHS, Australian Unity, Bupa, Medibank Private, and Smile.com.au, most eligible members receive 100% back on their annual preventive visit — no out-of-pocket cost at all.
In addition to private health funds, we participate in two government-funded dental programs — the Child Dental Benefits Schedule and the Department of Veterans' Affairs dental program.
Eligible children aged 2–17 can access up to $1,158 in bulk-billed dental care over a 2-year benefit period under Medicare's Child Dental Benefits Schedule. This covers routine services — no out-of-pocket cost for eligible families.
We welcome DVA Gold and White Card holders. Most routine and restorative dental treatments — including examinations, x-rays, fillings, and dentures — can be performed without prior DVA approval for Gold Card holders.
