Afterpay for Dental Treatment at Absolute Dental
Afterpay is available at Absolute Dental as a payment option for eligible patients who would like to divide approved dental treatment costs into instalments. With Afterpay Pay in 4, approved purchases can be paid in 4 interest-free instalments over about six weeks when repayments are made on time.
Approval, spend limits, eligibility criteria, late fees and Afterpay terms apply. Our team can explain your treatment fee before you proceed, but Afterpay is responsible for account and transaction approval. Dental care is recommended based on your oral health needs and a clinical assessment, not on whether a payment option is available.
Smaller Scheduled Payments for Eligible Patients
Paying for dental care can be a practical consideration, especially when treatment is unexpected or requires more than one appointment. Afterpay may help eligible patients manage approved treatment costs by separating the payment into smaller scheduled repayments.
Afterpay may be available for treatment that has been quoted by your dentist and approved by Afterpay. It is a payment option, not a health fund, and it does not change your treatment suitability or any private health fund rebate that may apply.
Using Afterpay for Your Dental Visit
Check the repayment fit
Before your visit, review Afterpay's eligibility criteria, repayment schedule, account limit and terms. Consider whether the repayments fit your budget, and contact Afterpay directly for account-specific questions.
Book your appointment
Book an appointment with Absolute Dental and let our team know you may want to use Afterpay. If your visit involves more than a routine appointment, ask whether an itemised estimate can be prepared after your dentist assesses your needs.
Review treatment and costs
Your dentist will assess your oral health, discuss suitable options and explain the fees before you decide whether to proceed. The recommended care will be based on your dental needs, goals, risks and alternatives.
Set up or pay with Afterpay
At the time of payment, our team can explain the available process for using Afterpay. New users may need to set up an Afterpay account through the Afterpay app or web portal. In-store payments may require the digital Afterpay Card.
Keep track of repayments
If Afterpay approves the transaction, Afterpay will show your payment schedule before you confirm. Make repayments on time to avoid late fees. If a payment is missed, Afterpay may charge a late fee, pause the account or reduce available spending until payments are brought up to date.
Afterpay Pay in 4: The Basics
Afterpay Pay in 4 is a buy now, pay later service that lets eligible customers split an approved purchase into four instalments. It can be used online and in physical stores, depending on the retailer or service. For participating in-store payments, Afterpay advises customers to set up the digital Afterpay Card in the app and add it to a supported phone wallet.
Afterpay states that Pay in 4 is interest-free when repayments are made on time. Late fees may apply if payments are missed, and Afterpay’s eligibility checks, spending limits, terms and conditions apply.
Before You Use Afterpay
Afterpay’s eligibility requirements may change, so patients should check the current terms before relying on this option. At the time of writing, Afterpay says Pay in 4 applicants generally need to:
- Live in Australia
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have a valid and verifiable email address and phone number
- Have an Australian bank-issued debit or credit card
- Be capable of entering into a legally binding contract
- Have valid, verifiable ID
- Agree to Afterpay’s Privacy Policy and Customer Terms
Approval is not guaranteed. Afterpay assesses eligibility and may consider income, expenses and credit report information. It also assesses individual purchases, so having an account does not guarantee that a dental payment will be approved.
Afterpay Fees, Late Payments and Terms
Afterpay Pay in 4 has no fees when payments are made on time. If a payment is missed, late fees may apply. Afterpay states that Pay in 4 late fees are capped, and the exact fee rules depend on the order value and Afterpay’s current terms.
Before using Afterpay for dental treatment, review the repayment schedule and make sure the instalments fit your budget. Absolute Dental can discuss the dental fees for your proposed treatment, while Afterpay controls account approval, spending limits, repayment schedules and any late fees.
