Accessing Your Super for Dental Treatments and Dentures

Dental treatments and dentures can be costly, but everyone deserves access to essential care for their health and wellbeing. If you require dental work or dentures but are concerned about the expense, you may be eligible to use your superannuation to cover the cost.

In Australia, individuals can apply for early access to their superannuation under compassionate grounds, which includes both dental procedures and dentures necessary for overall health.

Superannuation Can Cover Both Dental Work and Dentures

Many people are unaware that early super release applies to both dental treatments and dentures. Whether you need general dental work, extractions, implants, or a full or partial denture, you may be able to access your superannuation to help cover the cost.

At Kogarah Denture & Dental Clinic, we assist patients with superannuation access for:

Essential dental treatments (including extractions, crowns, and implants)

Full and partial dentures

– Urgent dental procedures

– Dental and denture work necessary for health and wellbeing 

Who Can Access Super for Dental or Denture Work?

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) permits early superannuation access for dental and denture procedures under compassionate grounds. If you are experiencing pain, difficulty eating, or other dental health concerns, you may be eligible to apply.

To qualify, you typically need:

– A supporting letter from a dentist confirming the necessity of the procedure

– Medical evidence (if required)

– A completed application submitted through the ATO
