Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How much funding can I receive from Work and Income for dental care?

Children should have their first dental visit by age one or when their first tooth appears.

The funding is generally for urgent or essential treatments, not for routine cleanings or cosmetic procedures.

It depends on your eligibility and grant approval—some patients may need to cover a portion of the cost.

You’ll need a quote from our clinic, proof of income, and identification as per Work and Income requirements.

Processing times vary, but approvals for urgent cases can sometimes be granted within a few days.

We can assist in reviewing your options and help explore alternative payment solutions.
