Quality Dental Care for DVA Card Holders at Enso Dental North Perth

A DVA Card, provided by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, is available to specific groups within the Australian Defence Force community. Eligibility criteria generally include the following:

• Veterans with service-related injuries or conditions. A veteran is any person who has served more than a day or is serving in the defence forces.
• War widows or widowers.
• Dependents of veterans or service members.
• Certain reservists and peacekeepers.

Eligibility for a DVA card depends on factors like service history, the nature of any disabilities related to service, and residency status. For more information about eligibility for a DVA card, you can contact our clinic, and one of our friendly staff will assist you. You may also contact the DVA directly to check whether you are eligible for funded health care.

The process for claiming dental services with a DVA Card involves the following steps:

• At your dental appointment, present your DVA card to the front desk staff at Enso Dental North Perth.
• We will confirm your eligibility and the services covered under your DVA benefits.

In some cases, DVA card holders may need prior approval from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs for specific dental treatments. This is often the case for more invasive procedures, such as certain types of oral surgery.

For example, if a veteran needs a surgical dental implant, prior approval from the DVA might be required. At Enso Dental North Perth, we can assist in identifying treatments that require this extra step and help facilitate the approval process with the DVA for our patients.
