Dental health service for adults

Dental services for adults are provided from six major dental centres:

• Burnie
• Devonport
• Launceston
• Clarence
• Glenorchy
• Hobart.

Accessing adult dental health services

• You must be the primary card holder of a current Pensioner Concession Card or Health Care Card.
• Check your eligibility here: Tasmanian Government Concessions 
• If you don’t have one of these cards, you will need to book a private dentist.

How to make an appointment

• Call 1300 011 013 and speak to one of our friendly team.
• We will ask you questions about what you need. This is called ‘triaging’.
• If your problem is urgent, you will be offered an appointment to treat this problem only.
• If your treatment is not urgent, you may be placed on a waiting list.
• Once you reach the top of the waitlist, all your work is scheduled
• We will book you as many appointments as you need to complete your treatment.

How much appointments cost

You will need to pay for some of your treatment. This is called a co-payment contribution.

Find out co-payment costs for different services below.

Our staff will discuss co-payments with you before treatment is provided.
