As the end of the year draws near, many patients find themselves with unused dental extras through their health insurance. At Markham Street Dental, we encourage you to make the most of these benefits before they reset in the new year. Dental extras, which often include preventive treatments like check-ups, professional cleans and fillings, are typically covered under most health insurance policies. However, if these benefits aren't used by the year's end, they are forfeited—making it a classic case of 'use it or lose it'. 

If you've been delaying dental visits or have upcoming treatments, now is an excellent time to act. You may have considered a filling, crown or even a more complex procedure such as root canal therapy. At Markham Street Dental, we can help you arrange these treatments strategically to maximise your health fund balance. By planning your appointments now, you can maximise your coverage, avoid unnecessary out-of-pocket expenses and start the new year with excellent oral health.

Our Flexible Payment Options 

We understand that cost can be a concern for those without private health insurance. That's why we offer flexible payment solutions to ensure that everyone can access the dental care they need. Markham Street Dental provides:

  • Interest-free payment plans
  • Allowing you to spread the cost of treatment over time
  • Making it more manageable

We also accept a wide range of payment methods, including credit cards, and partner with third-party financing providers for added flexibility.
