Frequently asked questions.

Mobile dentistry is a service through which dental care can be offered to people who do not have easy access to traditional dental clinics. It brings the dentist's clinic to the patient's home, school, or facility. Australian Smile Group currently offers mobile dental services across Victoria.

Routine dental care is not generally covered under Medicare. However, our treatments are covered under CDBS for eligible children. Services for older patients are charged privately, and eligible private health insurance or DVA benefits may apply.

Our services include dental check-ups, preventive care, general treatment, cleaning, maintenance, fillings, fluoride treatments, and referral pathways where specialist care is required.

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule provides access to basic dental services for eligible children aged 0–17. Eligibility also depends on Medicare status and receiving an eligible Services Australia payment. Eligible treatment can be provided without out-of-pocket cost, subject to program limits.
