Do you require dental treatment that’s currently prohibitively expensive for you? Solutions are out there, from loans to payment plans, to using superannuation.
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 may not be feasible. SuperCare may be able to assist in giving you back your smile without putting you in a tough financial spot.
Superannuation is designed to support you in retirement, but in certain circumstances, it may be possible to access your funds early for essential medical treatment.
For eligible patients, this can include necessary dental treatment. SuperCare assists patients with terminal dentition who are experiencing chronic or acute pain to apply for early release of superannuation to fund full-mouth or single-arch dental reconstruction.
Eligibility depends on your individual circumstances and super fund requirements. SuperCare manages the application process on your behalf, including assessing eligibility, liaising with your dental clinic, obtaining supporting documentation, and guiding you through each step of the claim.
For many patients, accessing superannuation can provide a practical alternative to taking out a large loan, making essential dental treatment more accessible while allowing you to choose the provider that best suits your needs.
