WINZ Dental Treatment Assistance
If you are on a low income or receiving a benefit, Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ) may be able to help with the cost of urgent dental treatment.
This assistance is designed to help people receive essential dental care when they need it most.
What WINZ May Help Pay For
WINZ dental assistance may cover urgent treatments such as:
- Tooth extractions
- Fillings
- Treatment for dental infections
- Some root canal treatments
WINZ support is intended for essential treatment rather than routine check-ups or cosmetic procedures.
How Much Funding Is Available
Eligible patients may receive up to $1,000 for dental treatment within a 52-week period.
In some cases, additional assistance may be available depending on your circumstances.
How to Apply
Applying for WINZ dental assistance usually involves three steps:
- Visit a dentist for an assessment.
- Your dentist completes a Dental Treatment Information Form.
- Submit the form to Work and Income.
At Avonhead Dental, we can assist with completing the required documentation.
