Accessing Your Super for Dental Treatments and Dentures
Dental treatments and dentures can be costly, but everyone deserves access to essential care for their health and wellbeing. If you require dental work or dentures but are concerned about the expense, you may be eligible to use your superannuation to cover the cost.
In Australia, individuals can apply for early access to their superannuation under compassionate grounds, which includes both dental procedures and dentures necessary for overall health.
Superannuation Can Cover Both Dental Work and Dentures
Many people are unaware that early super release applies to both dental treatments and dentures. Whether you need general dental work, extractions, implants, or a full or partial denture, you may be able to access your superannuation to help cover the cost.
At Kogarah Denture & Dental Clinic, we assist patients with superannuation access for:
– Essential dental treatments (including extractions, crowns, and implants)
– Urgent dental procedures
– Dental and denture work necessary for health and wellbeing
