DMA Dental Packages FAQs
Here are answers to some of the questions we’re asked most often. If the answer you need isn’t here, please contact us or speak to a DMA member dentist.
Dental Packages
It is a special payment plan that allows you to spread the cost of dental treatment by paying $99 per week. It also gives you access to our Capped Dental Fees. Once your DMA Dental Package is approved the Contact Centre will notify you how to activate your voucher
You can use your voucher for any dental treatment that you need, including cosmetic dentistry, as long as your DMA dentist can complete the treatment without referring you to another specialist.
The minimum package is $2000 and the maximum is $10000.
You can either choose the lower amount and pay the difference yourself or you can get a package for a higher amount and use the additional credit later.
Your account will remain in credit at the practice and you can use that credit at the same dentist whenever you next need dental work.
You can increase the value of your voucher by calling DMA Helen on 0481359189 or Shantelle on 0483893279. Increases are in multiples of $1000 like the original package.
