At Granite Belt Dental, we understand the importance of providing exceptional care while helping our patients maximise their health insurance benefits. That’s why we are proud to be a preferred provider for Medibank Private. This partnership ensures that you receive the highest possible rebate on your dental services, making it easier for you to prioritise your oral health without worrying about excessive out-of-pocket costs.
Understanding Your Medibank Private Benefits
As a Medibank Private member, you have access to a broad range of dental services at Granite Belt Dental, including:
- General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, cleanings, and preventive care.
- Restorative Treatments: Fillings, crowns, and other procedures.
- Preventive Services: Fissure sealants, fluoride treatments, and other preventive measures.
- Major Dental Work: Services like root canals, bridges, and dentures to address more complex dental needs.
These services are covered to varying extents depending on your specific Medibank Private
How to Maximise Your Medibank Private Benefits
- Regular Check-Ups: Schedule regular dental check-ups to detect and address issues early, preventing more costly treatments down the line.

- Use Preventive Services: Take advantage of covered preventive services to maintain your oral health and avoid more extensive procedures.
- Plan Major Treatments: If you need major dental work, consult with our team to schedule treatments in a way that maximises your benefits over the calendar year.
Claiming Your Benefits
- Present Your Medibank Private Card: When you arrive for your appointment, simply present your Medibank Private membership card at our reception.
- Receive Your Treatment: Our skilled dental team will provide the necessary treatment based on your dental needs.
