NIB No Gap Dental Check-ups Now Available at Coastal Dental Care

From 10 August 2026, Coastal Dental Care is pleased to offer NIB No Gap preventive dental services across all of our practices throughout Queensland and Northern NSW.

If you’re an eligible NIB Extras member, this means you may be able to receive your routine preventive dental check-up and clean with no out-of-pocket costs, helping you stay on top of your oral health while making the most of your health fund benefits.

With more than 12 convenient locations, it’s now even easier for NIB members to access quality family dental care close to home.

What Is the NIB No Gap Dental Program?

The NIB No Gap Dental Program is designed to help eligible NIB members access important preventive dental care without paying a gap for selected services. Preventive dental care plays a vital role in maintaining healthy teeth and gums, allowing your dentist to detect problems early before they become more complex. Eligible members may be able to claim selected preventive services with no gap, subject to their level of cover, annual limits and fund rules. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, our friendly team can help check your benefits before your appointment.

What’s Included?

Depending on your level of NIB Extras cover and available benefits, eligible patients may receive selected preventive dental services with no out-of-pocket costs.

These services commonly include:

• Comprehensive dental examination
• Professional scale and clean
• Fluoride treatment
• Intraoral X-rays (where clinically required)

Treatment recommendations will always be based on your individual oral health needs.

Why Are Regular Dental Check-ups So Important?

Many dental problems develop gradually and may not cause pain until they become more advanced. Regular dental examinations allow your dentist to monitor your oral health and identify concerns early, helping reduce the need for more complex treatment in the future.

Routine preventive care may help:

• Detect tooth decay early
• Identify gum disease before it progresses
• Remove plaque and tartar build-up
• Monitor existing fillings and dental work
• Screen for changes in your oral health
• Keep your smile feeling clean and healthy

For most patients, a dental check-up every six months is recommended, although your dentist may suggest a different schedule depending on your individual needs.

Make the Most of Your NIB Extras

Many Australians don’t fully utilise their dental extras each year. By attending regular preventive appointments, you can make better use of the benefits included in your health insurance while maintaining your oral health. Preventive dental care is often one of the most valuable inclusions within an Extras policy, making routine visits an important part of protecting your smile.
