The National Dental Plan in Beenleigh lets eligible patients start treatment now and pay it off in fortnightly instalments. It’s run by NDP, an external finance provider, and we’re happy to help you work out whether it suits your treatment.
How the National Dental Plan works
You pay a deposit on the day and spread the rest of the cost over regular fortnightly payments. NDP sets the amount you can borrow, the length of the plan and its fees, including an establishment fee and payment processing fees that are spread over the plan. These terms can change, so please check the current details, limits and eligibility directly with the National Dental Plan before you apply.
Who the National Dental Plan may suit
A payment plan may suit you if you need treatment that’s hard to cover in one go, such as crowns, root canal treatment, dentures or implants, and you’d rather not delay it. It’s not the right choice for everyone. Before you sign up, think about whether the fortnightly payments fit your budget and compare it with our other payment options, such as Afterpay for smaller amounts or SuperCare.
Applying for the National Dental Plan in Beenleigh
- Exam and X-rays. We need to do a thorough examination and take digital X-rays first, so we can give you a complete quote for your treatment.
- Your quote. We’ll explain the treatment we recommend, the alternatives and the cost.
- Apply with NDP. NDP checks your eligibility and decides whether to approve the plan. Its criteria cover things like age, residency, income and having a bank account in your name.
- Start treatment. Once your plan is approved, we can book your appointments.
Things to check before you apply
- The total you’ll repay, including all fees
- The size of each payment and how long the plan runs
- What happens if a payment is missed
- Whether you can pay the plan off early, and whether that costs anything

How much can I put on a plan?
