Try an example
Tell us what you need and where you are, in your own words. Find a Dentist matches you with dental practices in that area, using the details each practice has given us, and explains why each one came up.
You contact the practice directly to book. Find a Dentist is a search tool. It does not give dental or medical advice.
How matching works
Tell us what you need and where
Type it the way you would say it, such as “check-up for my son near Parramatta” or “nervous adult, Saturday appointment, Geelong”. Please don’t include personal details such as your name or Medicare number.
We read your request
Our matching turns your words into structured details: the type of care, the suburb, town or postcode, and anything else you mention, such as children, opening days or a language.
We match against the details we hold
We compare those details with the information each practice has given us, such as its location, services, opening hours, languages and payment options. Practices that don’t match are not shown.

Frequently asked questions
What is Find a Dentist?
Find a Dentist is a search tool that helps people in Australia find a dental practice that suits what they need. You describe what you need and where, and we match you with practices using the details they have given us. We do not give dental or medical advice.
How does the search decide which practices to show?
We only show practices that match your search, based on the area and the details you give us, such as the type of care, opening days or a language. Each result explains why it matched. Premium listings that match are shown above other matching results.
What does “Premium” mean on a result?
This is a paid Premium listing. Premium listings are shown above other matching results and are ordered by how well they match your search, using each practice’s stored details. A practice is never shown just because it pays. Read more in How Premium listings work.
Can I book an appointment through Find a Dentist?
No. You contact the practice directly to book. Please confirm services, opening hours and anything else that matters to you with the practice.
Does Find a Dentist show ratings or reviews?
No. We explain each match using the details a practice has given us, such as services, hours and payment options. We do not show star ratings or reviews.
What should I do in a dental emergency?
Call 000 if you have swelling that makes it hard to breathe or swallow, bleeding that will not stop, or a serious injury to the face or head, or go to your nearest hospital emergency department. For health advice any time, call healthdirect on 1800 022 222.
How can I check a dentist is registered?
Search the Ahpra Register of practitioners by name or registration number. It shows registration type and any conditions.
What happens to what I type in the search?
We use it to run your search and find matches. Please don’t enter personal details such as your name, date of birth or Medicare number. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how we use it.
