You’re listening to Way FM 105.3—your positive alternative.
Now we’re racing toward the end of the year, and if you’ve got private health insurance, you might be about to leave hundreds of dollars in dental extras sitting unused.
Here to help us make the most of it is Dr Bing from Innova Dental. G’day again, mate!
Dr Bing
Hi Glenn—great to be back!
Glenn Hartas
So let’s talk dental extras—most people don’t realise these don’t roll over, right?
Dr Bing
That’s right, Glenn. Most health funds reset on the 1st of January, which means if you haven’t used your dental benefits—you’ll lose them. They don’t carry over to next year.
Glenn Hartas
So it’s kind of like pre-paying for it and not using it?
Dr Bing
Exactly. You’ve paid for the cover, so why not use it? An examination and clean, x-rays, or even a simple filling might be covered as well as more complex, major dental procedures.
Glenn Hartas
Now Dr Bing, I’m guessing December gets pretty busy?
Dr Bing
It sure does! That’s why we’re encouraging people to get in early—we always try to make space, but the closer it gets to Christmas, the more limited it gets. Especially for families trying to get in before school holidays or travel.
Glenn Hartas
So whether it’s a checkup, a clean, or finishing off your treatment, now’s the time?
Dr Bing
Absolutely. And at Innova Dental, we make it easy—friendly team, no surprises, and we help you understand exactly what’s covered under your health fund. Just book online or give us a call and we’ll take care of the rest.
Glenn Hartas

Dr Bing
Thanks Glenn!
