What DVA Covers

DVA typically covers a wide range of dental treatments for Gold Card holders:

• Examinations and check-ups
• Professional cleans and scale and polish
• Fillings (composite and amalgam)
• Extractions
• Root canal treatment
• Crowns and bridges (case-by-case)
• Dentures
• X-rays and diagnostics
• Preventive care

Cosmetic dentistry (whitening, cosmetic veneers) is generally NOT covered. Some complex treatments may require prior DVA approval.

White Card holders have narrower entitlements — typically only for conditions accepted as service-related. Check with DVA directly about your specific entitlements.

2. Ask about prior approval for any complex treatments
3. Confirm the clinic is DVA-approved before booking
4. Keep records of all treatments and claims
5. Ask about specialist referrals if you need advanced care
6. Check treatment caps — some annual limits apply
