Fees
“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten”.
At Method Dental, we value quality and health above all else and we’ve worked hard to stay true to our values while keeping our fees around the average for dentists in Queensland.
You’ll notice we look and feel slightly different to most dental practices when you enter Method Dental. Our reception area doesn’t look or smell like a typical dental practice. Comfortable chairs, green-tea infused scents, modern design as well as a cute kids corner will make you feel welcomed and at ease.
Our surgery feels bright and airy and don’t be surprised when you fall asleep on our comfy dental chair! We’ve invested in digital x-ray machines which means when we need to take x-rays, you’re exposed to the lowest dose of radiation while producing a detailed and clear image to help us diagnose dental problems early.
Australian laboratories are exclusively used to make our crowns, veneers, splints etc because we believe in quality workmanship (Be wary of practices that outsource their work to overseas labs). And we invest in only the best materials and instruments because when you’re working with a handpiece that spins at 400,000 RPM (faster than the propeller of a jumbo jet), you want to be confident that it’s steady, reliable and glides like a hot knife through butter.
We do all of this because we believe in the importance of quality healthcare and we believe you do too.
At Method Dental, you’ll receive great value for money and we will always work within your budget to help you to get the care you need. And if you’re ever stuck financially, we offer interest free payment plans so you can get the care you need, when you need it.
Below is a fee guide which may assist you to budget and plan for your treatment needs.
Method Dental participates in HCF’s “More for Teeth” program which entitles HCF members to no-Gap examinations, x-rays, cleaning and some other preventative services including fluoride treatment and mouthguards.
Method Dental proudly bulk-bills the Medicare Child Dental Benefit Scheme (CDBS). The CDBS is a Medicare program that provides financial support for dental treatment on eligible children who are aged between 2 and 17. To qualify, you (the parent, carer or guardian) or the child must receive certain payments for at least part of the calendar year from the government e.g Family Tax Benefit A. The CDBS includes $1000 over 2 calendar years, and can be used on general dental services, including preventative and restorative services. If you are unsure if your child is eligible, please contact Method Dental on (07) 3188 5183 and have your Medicare card number ready.

The application process is safe, secure and instant which means your application can be confirmed/verified in real time, all in a matter of minutes.
