Financial Policies

Fees and Payment 

The South African Dental Association has recommended certain rates for dentistry carried out to a high standard. Our fees are based upon these rates and they reflect the standard of dentistry we provide our patients with.

 

Medical Aid

We submit accounts to selected Medical Aids. Our Private (cash) fees are not based upon “Medical Aid Rates” but upon consultation, a full treatment plan and quotation can be provided for you. Patients must consult their medical schemes to determine the extent of coverage for treatments but the settlement of the account is still the sole responsibility of the patient. We unfortunately do not provide accounts for any treatments, and all Private accounts need to be settled in full once treatment has been completed.

 

Payment Options

We offer several payment options for your convenience:

• Cash
• Credit Card
• EFT payments from the practice

Fees are payable at the time of treatment. Certain fees may be required to be paid upfront. These include dental technician costs which may constitute part of an overall quote for a particular procedure. A deposit equaling these fees will be required. This deposit must be made prior to the commencement of treatment. Statements will be provided for you to submit to your medical scheme for reimbursement.

Any unpaid accounts are handed over for debt collection and will be liable for all legal fees and interest incurred thereof.
