# Work and Income Dental Grant

## **Get Started**

There are two ways to get your WINZ assessment:

**Option 1: Book now and pay on the day**

### Your Details

### How we can help

- **Up to $1,000 a year** – Work and Income may help with essential dental treatment, and it usually doesn't need to be paid back
- **What's covered** – Dentistry you need, including assessments and x-rays. Doesn't include cosmetic dentistry, routine check-ups or orthodontics
- **Repayable WINZ options** – If you need work over the $1,000 limit or are exploring options such as dentures, Work and Income offers repayable options. We can provide quotes for these too

**Community Services Card holders:** The WINZ dental grant is separate from the Community Services Card scheme, where you pay $40 towards a simple extraction of a painful tooth. Not sure which option is right for you? Get in touch—we’re here to help.

Work and Income decides who's eligible. Information current as at July 2026. See workandincome.govt.nz or call 0800 559 009.

We only use your details to contact you about your assessment, and we never share them without your permission.
