Bulk Billing Dentist for Children Eligible under CDBS
Ornate Dental Clinic provides bulk billing services for children eligible under the Medicare Child Dental Benefit Schedule (CDBS). The CDBS is an Australian Government scheme under which eligible children between the ages 2-17 can get access to benefits of $1000 in a 2-year calendar period for various general dental treatments.
If your child is eligible for CDBS, give us a call and we can book an appointment with our very experienced dentist. The dentist will thoroughly examine and suggest the best dental treatment for your child. Basic dental treatments are covered under CDBS and are bulk billed. We look after all the paper work and you just need to sign the consent form. Our friendly and gentle, bulk billing dentist is especially very good with children and you can be assured of a great care at our Bentleigh East dental clinic.
