Using Superannuation for Dental Treatment

Navigating Early Super Access for Dental Procedures 

When facing the high costs of dental treatments, especially for significant procedures, you might consider accessing your superannuation funds for financial relief. Claimsplus Lawyers provides a detailed guide to assist you in understanding how to use your super for dental treatment costs.

Eligibility and Documentation for Super Access:

• Qualifying for Early Release: You can apply for early release of your superannuation to cover the costs of necessary dental treatments. This often qualifies under the 'compassionate grounds' category, especially when the treatment is crucial for relieving severe pain or addressing a major dental issue.
• Necessary Evidence: To utilise your super for dental costs, comprehensive evidence from dental professionals is required. This includes detailed certifications that outline the necessity of the dental treatment and its associated costs.

Understanding Withdrawal Limits:

• Be Mindful of Restrictions: Be aware of any limitations on the amount you can withdraw from your super for medical expenses, including dental treatments. Knowing these limits is crucial for effectively managing your dental care finances.

Procedure for Applying for Early Super Release:

• Detailed Application Submission: When applying for early release to fund dental treatment, ensure your application is thorough and includes all necessary dental documentation. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) or your super fund will evaluate your application based on this information.
• Seeking Professional Advice: Given the long-term financial implications of early super withdrawal, consulting with a financial advisor or the ATO is recommended. Their guidance can help you understand how accessing your super early might affect your future financial security and assist you in making an informed decision.
