100% Positive Feedback

Melbourne has an unusually strong field of dentists — 16 of the 25 servicing the area have earned a recent Word of Mouth Service Award (64% award rate), with 1,925 customer reviews and an average rating of 4.9 stars.

Pricing

Customer reviews on Word of Mouth put the median dentist job in Melbourne at $280, with most landing between $190 and $308 — 20% above the Victorian average. Nearby: Southbank ($280), Carlton ($280), East Melbourne ($280). Prices have risen 76% since 2009 (from $170 to $300 median), averaging 4.8% per year. If you've received a quote above $308, it lands in the top 25% locally — reasonable for more complex work, worth questioning for routine jobs.

Local context

With a median age of 29, Melbourne's dental workload leans toward cosmetic and preventive care: whitening, Invisalign and clear aligners, veneers, and kids-friendly practice setups. Probe your dentist on these specialties if they matter to you. Locals leave 277% more reviews than the Victorian average, so ratings here reflect a particularly current sample.

Customer feedback

Based on post-service customer responses, 100% would choose their dentist again, 100% found them on time and reliable and 100% described them as friendly and professional — a consistent satisfaction pattern across the local provider base. Melbourne generates 101.3 new dentist reviews per year, running 277% above the Victorian average — giving you a larger sample to compare providers from than most comparable suburbs.

Based on 1,925 customer reviews collected on Word of Mouth between 2008–2026, and ABS Census 2021 data.

How we calculate the Local Service Score: We combine two sources of data: first-party data collected directly by Word of Mouth — verified customer reviews, customer-reported pricing, post-service trust-signal responses, and service awards — with suburb-level population and housing data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics 2021 Census. The score measures how well Melbourne is served for dentists, reflecting the depth of choice, quality of service, and value for money available to residents compared to other suburbs across Australia. See our Local Service Score methodology for data sources, update frequency, and quality guardrails.
