Accessing Superannuation
For Overseas Dental Work

Dental care in Australia is expensive. From implants and crowns to orthodontics and full-mouth restorations, procedures can easily reach tens of thousands of dollars — leaving many Australians in pain, in debt, or simply going without the care they need.

But there’s a lesser-known financial lifeline that’s changing the equation: early access to superannuation for overseas dental treatment. Under the Compassionate Release of Superannuation (CRS) scheme, Australians facing urgent dental conditions may qualify to access their retirement savings — without credit checks, without waiting lists.

At its core, superannuation (or “super”) is Australia’s retirement savings system. Employers are legally required to contribute a percentage of your salary into a fund invested over time. But under special circumstances, you can access it early — including for certain medical and dental treatments considered urgent and not easily available in the public system.

Let’s face it — dental care in Australia is expensive. From implants and crowns to orthodontics and full-mouth restorations, procedures can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars. That’s why many Australians are turning to overseas dental treatment to find affordable, high-quality alternatives in places like Vietnam.

And it’s not just about cost. Many overseas clinics boast modern technology, internationally trained dentists, and shorter wait times. The missing piece for many patients? Financing.

That’s where your superannuation can come in. A growing number of Australians are saying yes to dental tourism, travelling abroad to receive high-quality dental care at a fraction of the cost — and using their super to fund the journey.

Supporting Australian patients through the compassionate release of superannuation (CRS) process requires a dental clinic to play a proactive, informed, and ethical role. Here’s how Greenfield assists:
