What Is Your Superannuation Fund?
The Australian government allows individuals to access their superannuation early on compassionate grounds, including for necessary dental treatments. This program is designed to support those whose oral health needs affect their daily life, offering a pathway to get the care you deserve.
Whether it’s restoring functionality, relieving pain, or improving overall health, this program could help fund treatments like:
- Dental implants
- Crowns and bridges
- Orthodontics, including braces or Invisalign
- All-on-4 and full-mouth rehabilitation
At Smile Lounge, we’ll ensure you’re informed and supported every step of the way.
