How Price Match Guarantee Works

  • Price Beat Guarantee applies to all Sydney dental clinics available to the Australian general public
  • Competitor quote must be presented at the start of your consultation
  • Price will only be beaten on a product available to the general public from a Sydney dental clinic registered within Australia.
  • All prices must be in Australian dollars and issued genuinely by the dental clinic. (ABN or ACN must be displayed on quotation)
  • If you find a cheaper price, you must provide a full copy of the competition on a business headed paper, which must include the dental booking reference (procedure). Quote must contain matching dental procedure description, dates, full price breakdown including all fees and charges. The full supplier and practice terms and conditions must be displayed and must all be like our Clinic quote in order to beat the quote.
  •  The quote needs to be presented to our Clinic within 48hours preferably on the same day as the quote was created by the competition. The full-payment date, or quote deadline must be displayed on the quote, including date and time, which must not have passed. Online quotes must have the current date displayed on the payment screenshot. The Price Match Guarantee will be valid against the initial competitor quote only. We will not enter into an ongoing price negotiation.
  • Email requests cannot be accepted unless following a phone or clinical visit enquiry.
  • For telephone enquiries you can email the quote to our Clinic following your phone call.
  • Where we believe there is an incorrect fee displayed by a competitor or that the price offered is no longer available, we have 1 full business day to investigate the pricing. If at this point, we prove the price to be invalid/incorrect or unavailable, the best Clinic price will be offered.
  • If a genuine quote is presented that meets our price beat terms and conditions and we cannot match or beat it. We will provide the best possible price our Clinic can offer alongside $100 redeemable dental credit.
  • Dental Credit cannot be used on promotional products.
  • Price Beat Guarantee is not applicable to any last-minute offers or specials
  • Full payment must be made at the time of the price beat guarantee
  • Bookings, amendment and cancellation conditions will apply as per our Clinic terms and conditions.
