At The Smile Space, we understand that dental treatments are essential for your health and well-being. However, we also recognize that the cost of necessary dental procedures can be a significant burden. That’s why we want to inform you about the option of accessing your superannuation early to cover dental expenses.

 

What is Early Superannuation Release?


Early superannuation release allows individuals to access their superannuation funds before reaching retirement age to cover specific expenses, including necessary dental treatments.

 

Who is Eligible?


You may be eligible for early superannuation release for dental treatments if:

– You require treatment for a life-threatening illness or injury.

– You need to alleviate acute or chronic pain.

– You need to alleviate an acute or chronic mental disturbance.

– You do not have the financial capacity to pay for the required treatment.

 

How to Apply?

  1. **Obtain a Quote**: First, visit The Smile Space for a consultation and obtain a detailed quote and report for the dental treatment required.
  2. **Medical Report**: Obtain a medical report from a qualified medical practitioner that outlines the necessity of the dental treatment.
  3. **Application**: Submit an application to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) including all required documentation (quote and compassionate release of super forms ) You will then need to notify your superannuation fund.

The early release of superannuation can cover a range of dental procedures, including but not limited to:

– Major dental surgery

– Orthodontics

– Periodontics

– Implants

– Restorative dental work

 

 Important Considerations

– **Tax Implications**: Accessing your superannuation early may have tax implications. It is advisable to seek advice from a financial advisor.

– **Impact on Retirement Savings**: Withdrawing funds now will reduce the amount available for your retirement. Consider all options and consult with a financial professional if needed.
