We’re proud to be a part of nib’s First Choice dental network.

Maximise Your Benefits at Woden Dental Care: Your nib First Choice Provider

As a proud member of the nib First Choice dental network, Woden Dental Care is dedicated to providing high-quality oral health services while helping you minimise out-of-pocket expenses. By choosing a First Choice provider, you can stretch your extras cover further and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with transparent, agreed-upon pricing.

Why Choose an nib First Choice Provider?

The nib First Choice network is a community of specially selected dental health providers committed to delivering both exceptional care and value for money. When you visit Woden Dental Care, you benefit from:

  • Lower Out-of-Pocket Costs: Access dental treatments at competitive, agreed rates specifically set for nib members, which are generally lower than average dental fees.

  • No Gap Preventative Care: Depending on your level of extras cover, eligible members can receive 100% back on essential preventative services. This means no “gap” payment for your routine six-monthly check-ups.

  • Extended Benefit Limits: Because of the lower agreed rates, your annual extras limit lasts longer, allowing you to get more treatment throughout the year without reaching your cap as quickly.

  • On-the-Spot Claiming: We use HICAPS technology, allowing you to swipe your nib membership card and claim your benefits instantly. You only ever pay the remaining difference.

What Services Are Covered?

Whether you are coming in for a routine clean or require more complex restorative work, your nib membership works harder for you here. Benefits typically apply to:

Service Category Typical nib First Choice Benefits
Preventative Check-ups, scales, cleans, and fluoride treatments (often 0 gap).
Diagnostic Bitewing and panoramic X-rays as clinically required.
General Dental Fillings, extractions, and minor oral surgery at agreed rates.
Major Dental Crowns, bridges, and root canal therapy (depending on your specific policy).

Note: Benefits are subject to your individual level of cover, waiting periods, and remaining annual limits. We recommend checking your remaining balances via the nib App or member portal prior to your appointment.

nib First Choice - Frequently Asked Questions

What is the "First Choice" network?

It is a community of dental providers—like Woden Dental Care—who have reached an agreement with nib to provide services at set, affordable rates. This ensures you receive high-quality care with lower out-of-pocket costs compared to non-network dentists.

Do I still get 100% back on check-ups?

Many nib extras policies offer 100% back (no gap) on preventative essentials, including an exam, scale, clean, and fluoride treatment. To be eligible, you must have a level of cover that includes "No Gap Preventative Dental" and have served your waiting periods.

What is a "gap" payment?

The "gap" is the difference between what we charge for a service and what nib pays you back. Because we are a First Choice provider, our fees are capped at nib’s agreed rates, which typically results in a much smaller gap for you than at other clinics.

Which other funds are part of this network?

The nib First Choice network also includes members from AAMI, Apia, Suncorp, Qantas Insurance, GU Health, and Priceline Health. If you are with any of these providers, you can enjoy the same "First Choice" benefits at our clinic.

How do I claim my benefit at the clinic?

We offer HICAPS on-the-spot claiming. Simply bring your physical or digital nib membership card to your appointment. We swipe it through our terminal, the nib portion is paid instantly, and you only pay any remaining gap.

How can I check my remaining balance?

The fastest way to check your remaining limits and see if you are currently "in-wait" is via the nib App or by logging into your account at nib.com.au
