Making Dental Care Affordable with the National Dental Plan

At Anchorage Dental Care Mindarie, we’re pleased to offer the National Dental Plan, Australia’s only no-interest-ever dental payment plan. This means you can access necessary dental treatments without worrying about interest charges, making dental care more manageable and budget-friendly.

Repayment with the National Dental Plan (NDP) is designed to be flexible and interest-free. It allows patients to manage their dental expenses more conveniently. Here’s how it works:

• Interest-Free Payments:
  All repayments under NDP are interest-free, meaning you only pay for the cost of your dental treatment without additional interest charges.
• Repayment Frequency:
  You have the option to make your repayments either weekly or fortnightly, depending on what suits your budget and schedule.
• Repayment Terms:
  NDP offers different repayment terms based on the amount financed. For smaller treatments (up to $2,000), you can choose short-term plans of 2.5 months. It involves five fortnightly or 10 weekly payments. For larger treatments (up to $12,000), the repayment period can extend up to 24 months.
• Late Payments:
  In case of missed payments, there’s a late fee of $6. It’s important to stay on top of your repayment schedule to avoid any additional charges.

By offering these flexible repayment options, NDP makes dental care more accessible. It allows patients to receive necessary treatments without the burden of upfront costs or the stress of high-interest rates.

Yes, you can. At Anchorage Dental Care Mindarie, the National Dental Plan allows you to make extra payments or even pay off your entire plan earlier if you wish. Don’t worry, because there are no extra fees for doing this. This gives you the freedom to handle your dental payment plan in a way that fits your budget. It makes your dental care more manageable and less stressful​​​​.

Setting up an account with a national dental plan involves an initial small deposit on the day of your appointment. For new users, there’s an establishment fee of $70 to set up your account. This can be spread over the term of your payment plan. Repeat users only pay a $29 fee for subsequent purchases. For plans extending over 5 months, a monthly fee of $8 is applicable. This fee is charged to manage the account over the term of the plan.

The National Dental Plan’s manageable fees make it easier for you to access the dental care you need without any stress about high upfront costs​​.
