Bupa Preferred Dentist Perth
Our partnership with Bupa Members First Platinum helps you get the most out of your Bupa dental extras cover. Depending on your plan, you might receive up to 90% coverage, making it easier and more affordable to get the dental care you need.
For details on your specific coverage, we recommend reaching out to your health insurance provider. As a Bupa-preferred dentist, our goal is to simplify the financial side of dental care and support your oral health with regular, comprehensive checkups.
Limits and Waiting Periods with Bupa Dentists
Like all health insurance providers, specific limits and waiting periods are associated with Bupa dental extras coverage. For instance, Bupa typically allows a claim for dental checkups once every six months. However, you must know that if you have recently started or upgraded your policy, there may be a waiting period before you can fully use the benefits offered under the Bupa Members First Platinum program.
Additionally, some policies may have annual limits on the amount you can claim for dental services. This means that the cost of certain dental treatments may be deducted from your annual limit, depending on your level of dental extras cover.
Unlock Maximum Benefits with Bupa Dentist Perth
In addition to our affiliation with Bupa, we take pride in being preferred providers for other leading health insurance funds such as HCF, NIB, CBHS, Medibank, and Smile.com.au. This commitment ensures our patients can access the maximum benefits for their dental care needs.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bupa in Australia?
Yes, Bupa operates extensively in Australia. It is a leading health insurance provider and healthcare group that offers a wide range of health insurance products and services, including dental care, to individuals, families, and businesses across the country.
How much is a dental check-up in Australia?
The price of a dental check-up in Australia fluctuates based on factors such as the dental clinic’s location, the scope of services provided during the check-up, and whether the patient holds private health insurance. Typically, a basic dental check-up costs between $209 to $305 without insurance coverage. However, having private health insurance that includes dental benefits can substantially lower or completely cover the out-of-pocket expenses for a check-up, depending on the extent of coverage provided.
Who is Bupa owned by?
Bupa is owned by its members. It is a mutual organisation, meaning its policyholders own it rather than private shareholders. This ownership structure allows Bupa to prioritise the needs and interests of its members when making decisions about its healthcare services and insurance offerings.
Is dental covered by Medicare in Australia?
Dental services are not generally covered by Medicare in Australia. Medicare primarily covers medical services essential for maintaining health, such as visits to general practitioners and hospital treatments. Many Australians choose to take out private health insurance with dental extras cover for comprehensive dental coverage, which can help offset the costs of routine dental treatments and major procedures.
