Dental

Good oral health is so important to our overall health and wellbeing. We know there are real challenges facing Tasmanians when it comes to accessing affordable ongoing dental care. As a Tasmanian not-for-profit health insurer, St Lukes is proud to pinpoint and act on the issues that are most affecting our community.

We see oral health as an area where St Lukes can make a big impact, as part of our vision to make Tasmania the healthiest island on the planet. We’re imagining a Tasmania where affordable and accessible dental services mean everyone can have excellent oral health. Now that’s something to smile about.

St Lukes Dental

In order to improve access to quality, affordable dental care, we have opened our own St Lukes Dental practices across Tasmania.

St Lukes Dental Network

A healthy smile can change the way you see the world and how the world sees you. So, we’ve created the St Lukes Dental Network, that puts good oral health within reach. Through creating a network with some of Tasmania’s leading dentists, members with eligible extras cover can access no out-of-pocket costs on preventative dental across the state. This means, when you visit a participating dental provider, you’ll have no out-of-pocket costs* on eligible services including examinations, x-rays, scale and cleans, and fissure sealing.

*Included on eligible extras products only. For included preventative dental services provided at a St Lukes Dental practice or participating providers in the St Lukes Dental Network. Waiting periods, annual limits and sub-limits, fund and policy rules apply.

Dental Extras cover

St Lukes Dental Extras is designed to give Tasmanians access to the dental services they need without paying for the extras categories they don’t. It offers a flexible and targeted range of benefits specifically aimed at making important dental services not covered by Medicare more affordable.

Hygienist, Therapist, Dentist: What’s the difference?

Just like a hospital, dental practices have a range of practitioners, each with their own area of expertise to help you with your dental needs. But what’s the difference between them?
