Transparent pricing, no surprises
Every patient at Compass Dental Care gets a written treatment plan with itemised costs before we start any work. If your plan changes, we stop, explain why, and get your approval first — so you are never caught out by the bill.

Health funds & HICAPS
We are a HICAPS practice, so we can process your private health-fund claim on the spot for all major Australian funds — you simply pay the gap on the day, not the full amount up front. Bring your fund card to your appointment and the rest is handled at the front desk.
Children & the CDBS
Many Darwin children are eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), which covers up to $1,095 of eligible dental treatment over two calendar years. We can check your child’s eligibility and bulk-bill the covered items directly, so there is often nothing to pay.
Our no-surprises policy
You will always receive a written, itemised quote before any treatment begins. If something changes during treatment, we stop, explain, and re-quote before continuing. For larger treatment plans, talk to us about spreading the cost — we are happy to work out an approach that suits your budget.
