Public and private cover
If you live in Victoria, adults aged 18 and over pay A$32.50 per visit to the public dental service, up to A$130 for a general course of care that includes an examination and general treatment. Private health policies differ: many have an annual limit of A$500 to A$1,500 per person, and each procedure is capped at a percentage of the fee. Check your limit before you book a veneer or a denture.
Season and timing
It is late spring now, and summer starts in December. Many people want a new smile before a summer event or holiday, but dentures and veneers usually take more than one appointment for measurements, trial fittings and the final fit, so the first consultation should be booked in the next few weeks.
How the price is quoted
Veneers are quoted per tooth, and dentures per arch, with implant-supported dentures priced per arch as well. Ask whether the quote includes the examination, X-rays, impressions, shade matching and the final fitting. Veneers and dentures need fittings in person, so choose a dentist within reach of your home rather than one in another city.
What to put in your request
Say whether you need a denture or veneers, the material you prefer (acrylic, composite, porcelain or zirconia), which teeth and how many are involved, the condition of your remaining teeth, the shade and look you want, when you want treatment, your suburb, the dentist's experience and your budget. A photo of your current smile helps sellers judge the shade.
