FAQs About nib
What is 'no-gap' dental, and how does it work?
‘no-gap’ dental means you won’t pay out-of-pocket costs for some dental treatments if your health fund covers you. This arrangement applies when your health fund fully covers the cost of the procedure through its benefits. It is normally offered for treatments like check-ups, cleans, or X-rays under specific health fund agreements.
Which dental treatments are covered under the nib First Choice program?
The nib First Choice program includes dental treatments designed to provide value and affordability for members through agreed rates. These treatments cover a variety of common dental needs, including:
- General dental check-ups, cleans, and routine examinations.
- Fillings to manage tooth decay and restore function.
- Custom-fitted mouth guards for sports and nighttime teeth grinding.
- Root canal therapy to address issues within the tooth’s pulp.
- Minor dental surgeries, including simple extractions.
- Urgent care with same-day appointments for dental emergencies.
These options allow nib members to access high-quality care while minimising out-of-pocket expenses. By choosing Southside Friendly Dental Care, you benefit from an affordable, patient-centred experience tailored to your needs.
