Do you require dental treatment that’s currently prohibitively expensive for you? Solutions are out there, from loans to payment plans, but one option that may be worth your while is SuperCare.
What is SuperCare? It’s a way to accessing super for dental implants early to pay for dental procedures.
There are limited circumstances in which you can access the money in your super account before you retire, and one of them is compassionate grounds. If your dental troubles are causing you chronic pain, you can fill out the ATO form for compassionate release of superannuation yourself or engage an agency such as SuperCare to access the money on your behalf.
Missing teeth not only negatively impact how you look. If left untreated, they cause a range of dental and other health problems, including a weakened jawbone, malocclusion, potential for further tooth loss, gum disease and illness elsewhere in the body.
These days, many people are on a tight budget, and paying thousands of dollars for dental treatments just isn’t feasible. Treatment payment options like SuperCare can assist in giving you back your smile without putting you in a tough financial spot.
Most of the time, your superannuation lies out of sight and out of mind, steadily growing to provide you with a nest egg you can live on during retirement. You can withdraw your super when you reach the age of 65 (whether you’ve retired or not), when you retire from paid work or when you start to transition to retirement. Yet life is uncertain, and in some circumstances, you may need to access the money sooner.
One of those circumstances is medical treatment (and medical transport) for you and a dependant. Medical treatment includes necessary dental treatment for you, your partner or your dependents. SuperCare is only granted if the patient has a terminal dentition and is suffering chronic or acute pain. SuperCare enables patients to access their super for a full mouth or full single arch reconstruction. Whether you can access the money depends on the rules of your particular fund, but organisations like SuperCare can guide you through the process, increasing your chance of success.
SuperCare allows you to use your superannuation to pay for essential medical and dental treatments that might otherwise be unaffordable—ideal if you don’t have private health insurance or other funding options.
Whether you can access your super for dental care depends on your super fund, but agencies like SuperCare make the process simple. They can assess your eligibility, liaise with your clinic, request support letters, and guide you through the claim process, saving you time and stress.
The main benefit is clear: you can fund your dental treatment without taking out a large loan, while choosing the provider that suits you best.
