Frequently Asked Questions
Can I access no-gap preventative dental care with my nib policy?
Yes, you can access no-gap preventative dental care at Tweed Family Dental, but only if you have eligible nib dental cover. As a nib First Choice Preferred Provider, we offer no-gap services to members with dental cover so that you won’t have out-of-pocket costs for specific treatments.
Here’s what the no-gap preventative dental care includes:
- Comprehensive examination:
This involves a full check-up to assess your oral health and identify potential issues early for timely care.
- Professional scale:
Any plaque and tartar buildup are cleared to help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental concerns.
- Teeth cleaning:
Your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned to lift surface stains and leave them feeling refreshed and polished.
- Fluoride treatment:
Fluoride is applied to strengthen tooth enamel and reduce the risk of cavities and decay.
- Diagnostic imaging (when clinically required):Bitewing and panoramic X-rays are used to detect dental issues that may not be visible during a regular check-up.
As a preferred provider, we also offer agreed rates on other treatments, making quality dental care more accessible. No-gap preventative care helps you stay proactive with regular check-ups, supporting a healthier smile.

How can I claim my nib benefits after a dental appointment?
You can claim your nib benefits after a dental appointment by using your nib card at Tweed Family Dental’s HICAPS terminal. When you scan your card, the terminal instantly calculates your benefits and processes the claim. If successful, you will only need to pay the difference between the treatment cost and your cover.
If you forget your card, you will need to pay the full amount at the appointment. To claim later, submit a request for reimbursement through the nib app or your member account.
Can I still visit if I'm not a nib member?
Of course, you can visit Tweed Family Dental even if you are not a nib member. A membership with Nib is not required to receive treatment at our clinic. We welcome all patients, regardless of their health fund, and provide quality care to everyone. Our clinic accepts all health funds, making it easy for anyone with dental cover to access treatment.
How do I find out if my treatment is eligible for agreed rates?
You can check if your treatment qualifies for agreed rates by reviewing your nib policy details or speaking with their customer service team. The nib app and website allow you to view cover details and check treatment eligibility. If you need further help, their support team can explain covered treatments and possible costs. Confirming this information before your visit helps you plan your care and avoid unexpected expenses.
