Government Subsidised
Victorian Denture Scheme.
Subsidised dentures for eligible Victorian concession cardholders through community health partners. We handle the paperwork, you get the care.
Have a Voucher? We Accept It. Still Waiting? You Have Options.
Private clinics cannot issue VDS vouchers directly. Vouchers must be requested through your local public community health centre (such as DPV Health, Merri Health, or Cohealth). Because public waiting lists across Melbourne can take 12 to 18 months, many patients look for faster avenues.
The Victorian Denture Scheme (VDS) is a government-funded initiative that helps concession cardholders access affordable dentures. If you hold a valid voucher from a public community dental agency, Oak Park Dental accepts your voucher and partners with our co-located dental laboratory to provide prompt, high-quality care.
How Oak Park Denture Clinic Works with VDS
At 88 Winifred Street, Oak Park Dental Clinic partners with our on-site dental laboratory (Oak Park Denture Clinic) to facilitate quality care under the Victorian Denture Scheme (VDS). We accept VDS vouchers issued by DPV Health and community dental agencies, providing accessible, precision denture solutions for eligible Victorian residents.
Our Location: 88 Winifred Street, Oak Park, VIC 3046
We serve patients from Oak Park, Glenroy, Pascoe Vale, Fawkner, Coburg, Hadfield, and surrounding Melbourne suburbs. Call us today to check your VDS eligibility.
