Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Patients
Respectful, Comprehensive Care for Our Veterans
At Dental Care Group, we are honoured to care for patients who hold Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) health cards. Our team provides high-quality, evidence-based dental care designed to maintain comfort, function, and confidence at every stage of life.
We recognise the unique healthcare needs of veterans and are committed to delivering gentle, personalised treatment in a supportive and respectful environment.
Understanding Your DVA Dental Entitlements
For White and Gold card holders
If you are a DVA Gold or White Card holder, you may be eligible for dental treatment funded by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
Gold Card holders are generally entitled to all necessary dental services to meet clinical needs.
White Card holders may be eligible for dental treatment related to their accepted conditions.
Our experienced administrative team can help you confirm eligibility, obtain necessary approvals, and ensure your treatment plan is consistent with DVA guidelines.
Dental Services for DVA Patients
Within Annual Limits, some services may require pre-approval
Our practice provides a full range of dental treatments that may be available under DVA coverage, including:
Preventive and diagnostic care — regular check-ups, professional cleaning, and oral health education.
Restorative dentistry — fillings, crowns, bridges, and other procedures to restore damaged teeth.
Prosthodontic care — dentures and repairs to support comfort and function.
Oral surgery — extractions, minor surgical procedures, and management of oral conditions.
Periodontal (gum) treatment — management of gum disease to maintain long-term oral health.
Emergency and pain relief services for urgent needs.
Each treatment plan is developed with your individual health needs in mind and provided in line with DVA clinical guidelines.
Coordination and Support
We aim to make your dental care experience straightforward and respectful:
We verify entitlements and manage DVA claiming directly, so you don’t need to handle complex paperwork.
All treatment plans and costs are discussed transparently before commencement.
Our clinicians can collaborate with your GP or other healthcare providers for integrated care.
