Two things people ask before they book

"What's it going to cost me?"

We take all major health funds on the spot through HICAPS, so you only pay the gap. For bigger treatments like implants, Invisalign and veneers, 0% interest payment plans are available through third-party providers, so you can spread it out.

We also bulk bill eligible children under the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule, and accept DVA patients, Public Clinic VEDS and VGDS vouchers.

*Payment plans are provided by third-party providers and are subject to their terms, conditions and approval. Ask our team for the current terms.

"I hate going to the dentist."

Most people do, and we'd rather you told us than avoided the chair for another three years. Dental anxiety is real and we're set up for it.

Our team takes extra time to explain each step before it happens, answers every question, and keeps things calm and unhurried. Where it's clinically suitable, we can prescribe oral anxiolytics to help settle your nerves before treatment.

Continuity. We will try to make sure you see the same dentist every visit, and we will do our best to provide continuity of care.

Under one roof. A check-up that turns into a filling, a crown or an implant doesn't mean being referred across town.

What we treat

General dentistry for the whole family, including implants and clear aligners.

  • Dental check-up and clean at Delacombe Family Dental

    Check-ups & cleans

    Examination, scale and clean, X-rays where needed, and a plain-English explanation of what we found.

  • Emergency dental care for toothache and broken teeth

    Emergency dentistry

    Toothache, a broken tooth, sudden pain or injury. Call us rather than waiting on a form.

  • Dental implants to replace missing teeth

    Replacing missing teeth with dental implants, designed to look and function as closely as possible to natural teeth. Nothing replaces your own natural teeth, so our primary aim is to help you keep them wherever possible.

  • Invisalign clear aligners for adults and teens

    Invisalign & clear aligners

    Straightening for adults and teens, without a mouth full of metal.

  • Cosmetic dentistry including veneers and teeth whitening

  • Dentures and tooth extractions

    Dentures & extractions

    Gentle extractions and full or partial dentures, fitted and adjusted in-house.

Your fund is almost certainly one of these

We claim on the spot through HICAPS, so you pay the gap and walk out. We're a preferred provider for HCF, and we accept all major Australian health funds.

*Rebates depend on your level of cover and your fund's rules. We'll check your entitlement before treatment starts.

Common questions

Are you taking new patients?

Yes. We welcome new patients of every age from Delacombe, Smythes Creek, Sebastopol, Alfredton, Buninyong, Lucas, Wendouree and across Ballarat.

Can I come in after work or school?

Yes. We're open until 7pm on Tuesdays and 6pm on Wednesdays, which is usually the easiest option for families and anyone who can't take time off during the day. Those later slots book out first, so it's worth asking early.

Do you bulk bill?

We bulk bill eligible children through Medicare's Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), and we accept DVA patients as well as Public Clinic VEDS and VGDS vouchers. Our team can check your eligibility when you book.

What if I can't afford the treatment up front?

0% interest payment plans are available through third-party providers, so larger treatments like implants, Invisalign and veneers can be paid off over time. Plans are provided by those third parties and are subject to their terms, conditions and approval; our team will walk you through the current terms before you commit to anything.

I'm in pain right now. What should I do?

Call us on (03) 5312 7815 rather than filling in the form. We keep time aside for emergencies: toothache, a broken tooth, swelling or injury. We'll get you seen as soon as we can.

How much is a check-up?

It varies, from a simple exam through to a more complex treatment plan. A comprehensive check-up including all necessary X-rays is usually $290. If you have extras cover, we'll claim on the spot through HICAPS and you pay only the gap. Tell us your fund when you book and we'll give you a clear figure before anything starts.
