All the major ones, including Bupa, Medibank, HCF, NIB, Australian Unity, HBF, GMHBA and Defence Health. We claim through HICAPS on the spot, so you only pay the gap before you leave. We're also an HCF preferred provider, which means HCF members usually pay less out of pocket.
Whichever way suits you: cash, EFTPOS, credit card, or your health fund on the spot through HICAPS. If a treatment isn't fully covered, our 0% interest payment plans let you spread the cost instead of paying it all at once. You'll always get a written quote before we start, so there are no surprises.
Yes, and you're far from alone. Just let us know when you book. We'll give you extra time, talk you through each step before we do it, and agree on a signal you can use to stop us at any point. Some nervous patients like to pop in first just to meet the dentist and see the clinic, with no treatment at all.
Yes, we're a certified Invisalign provider. Clear aligners can straighten crowded teeth, close gaps and fix mild to moderate bite problems without metal braces. It starts with a consultation, where we check whether it's right for you and give you a timeframe and a quote. With our payment plans, Invisalign starts from $10 a day.
We're a family-owned practice run by Dr Gaurav Maheshwari and Dr Puneeta Maheshwari. Both are AHPRA-registered, and each has more than 25 years of experience. Working alongside them are Dr Rodrigo Barrera, Dr Renuka Jyothi and Dr Nidhi Tandon. You can get to know each of them on our team page.
The quickest way is to call us on (03) 5312 7815, or you can book online any time, day or night. You can also email info@delacombefamilydental.com.au. If it's an emergency, please phone rather than booking online so we can fit you in sooner. For your first visit, allow about 45 minutes.
