speak to your GP about a dental care plan. In australia you can be covered for dental work if you have more than 1 chronic illness and the illnesses dont need to be related to your teeth e.g back pain, knee pain - anything chronic. It definitely wont cover majority of the cost but its better than nothing and you can then claim the difference on your tax

Medicare is really annoying because they don't seem to cover a lot of your dental expenses. Even though you're having surgery on your jaws, it's all related to the teeth... and that's something that Medicare doesn't cover. They probably gave me about just over 1% of my expenses (for the surgery alone) back :\
