Health funds

Bring your health fund card

We claim through HICAPS at reception, so nearly any Australian fund can be swiped on the day and you pay the gap. For these six we are a preferred provider, which usually makes that gap smaller.

funds we are preferred providers for

Hocking Dental Care is family-owned, which is why you see the same dentists each visit rather than whoever is rostered on.

We do the full range here — check-ups and cleans through to crowns, implants, aligners and emergencies — so most things get dealt with in one place. However long it has been since your last visit, we start by putting the camera on the screen and showing you what is there.

We see families from Hocking, Wanneroo, Pearsall, Landsdale, Darch, Tapping, Gnangara and Woodvale. Plenty of them heard about us from a neighbour.

How we work

Six things worth knowing

  • The same dentists, visit after visitYou see the same people each time, and they remember your last appointment.
  • Every age in one placeA first check-up at three and a denture fitting at seventy-three, in the same practice.
  • We show you the screenThe camera goes on the screen beside the chair, so you can see what we are talking about.
  • Appointments run as long as they need toWe book enough time, so nothing gets hurried along at the end of it.
  • Costs quoted before we startA written estimate with the item numbers on it, so your fund can tell you the gap beforehand.
  • Hours that fit around work and schoolTwo late nights a week and all day Saturday, so nobody has to take a day off.

Over a lifetime

What comes up, and roughly when

Four of the things families come to us for.

Your first visit

Nothing happens that you did not agree to

Most of the worry is not knowing: what is about to happen in the chair, and what it will cost at the counter. You hear both before anything starts.

  1. Tell us you are nervous

    There is a box for it when you book. Tick it and we allow more time, explain as we go, and stop whenever you want.

  2. Park at the door

    We are on Greenfields Circle with parking out the front. Appointments run to time, so you are usually in the chair a few minutes after arriving.

  3. We look properly

    A full examination, a soft-tissue check, and digital images where they help. The X-rays take seconds and use a fraction of the radiation of old film.

  4. You see exactly what we see

    The camera goes on the screen in front of you, so you can see what we are describing rather than take our word for it.

  5. You get the options and the costs first

    Including what your fund will cover. We claim through HICAPS on the spot, so you know the gap before we begin.

  6. We work at your pace

    Raise a hand and we stop. You do not have to explain why.

In the surgery

The equipment we use

Four machines we use most days. Each one makes something quicker, clearer or easier to sit through.

Fees & rebates

Four ways people usually pay for dental work here. We will tell you which one applies to you at the consultation, before anything starts.

Private health cover

Preferred provider for HBF, Medibank, nib, HCF, Bupa and CBHS, which usually means a smaller gap.

Common questions

Before you ring

What if my fund is not one of the six you are a preferred provider for?
You are still very welcome. HICAPS claims on the spot for nearly every Australian fund, so you pay the difference at the counter rather than lodging anything yourself. Preferred-provider status usually means a smaller gap for members of those six funds; it has never been a condition of being treated here.
How much of the cost will my fund actually cover?
That depends on your policy — the level of extras cover you hold, your annual limit, and how much of it you have already used this year. None of that is visible from our side of the counter. What we can do is give you the item numbers for the proposed treatment beforehand, which is exactly what your fund needs to quote you a figure over the phone or in their app.
Do I have to be a regular patient to be seen?
No, and there is no joining process. Book whether it has been six months or sixteen years. If you have been going elsewhere, ask that practice to send your records and recent X-rays across — it saves repeating images that are still perfectly current, and it means we can compare rather than start from a blank page.
Can you fit the family in during the school holidays?
Usually, though the holidays are the busiest fortnight in our calendar and the times that suit families are the first to go. If you want two or three people seen one after another, ring a few weeks before the holidays start rather than in the middle of them.
Can I bring a pram into the surgery?
Yes — there is room for one beside the chair, and reception is happy to keep an eye on a sleeping baby if you would rather leave it out the front. Mention it when you book and we will allow for it.
What should I do if something happens after hours?
Ring the practice first — the recorded message will tell you what is available and when. If it cannot wait, uncontrolled bleeding, swelling that is spreading towards the eye or throat, or an injury following a blow to the face are all hospital emergency department matters rather than dental appointments. For a chipped tooth or a filling that has come out overnight, keep the area clean and ring us at 8am.
