How we choose our partner dentists

We do not work with just any dentist. A clinic has to meet all five of the standards below before we will send anyone to it, and this page exists so you can hold us to them.

It is not just about teeth

When your teeth affect your everyday life

You deserve to understand your options.

Avoiding certain foods. Hiding your smile. Putting off a conversation because you are worried about the cost. If any of that feels familiar, you are not alone.

Start with a conversation. A consultant can explain the treatment options and ways to pay, then help arrange an assessment with an independent partner dentist when you are ready.

The standard

What a clinic has to do

Five things. Not four.

Plenty of good dentists place implants. Fewer do the volume of full mouth work these treatments need, and fewer again are set up for patients who are paying over time or applying to release super. We are looking for all of it in one place.

They place implants regularly, and do full mouth work in volume

Not occasionally, and not as a sideline. Full arch and full mouth cases are their normal week. This is the standard that rules out most clinics before we get to anything else.

They offer flexible payment, and they have done super before

Payment plans available on site, and real experience with patients funding treatment through early release of super. A clinic that has never handled a compassionate release application is not the place to find out how one works.

They honour the $75 consult, with imaging included

Examination, X-rays and 3D scans, and a full written treatment plan with different cost options to suit your budget. Written, itemised, and yours to take away.

They treat people with zero judgement

We send people who have been hiding their teeth for years and have put this off for longer than they would like to admit. The first visit has to feel safe. A clinic that makes someone feel small does not stay on our list.

They meet our standards on communication and support

Calls returned, questions answered properly, and someone to talk to after the appointment as well as before it. Most of what goes wrong is not clinical, it is being left in the dark.

A fair question

So why are none of them named here?

It is deliberate, and it cuts both ways.

We keep our partner clinics off the public site by agreement. They prefer the separation and so do we, and it means nobody is picking a clinic off a web page before anyone has looked at their situation.

You are not booked blind. Before anything is confirmed you are told which clinic, where it is, and who you will be seeing, on the phone with a person you can ask questions of. Most of our partner clinics have their own Google Business Profile and their own reviews, and you are welcome to go and read them.

What you are told before you book

Which clinic, and exactly where it is
Who you will be seeing on the day
What the appointment covers and how long to allow
What it costs, which is the $75 and nothing else on the day
Enough to look them up yourself before you go

Straight talk

What this page is not

A standard is only worth something if you know its edges.

What we do

Check every clinic against the five standards before it joins the list
Tell you which clinic, where, and who, before anything is booked
Listen when a patient tells us a clinic fell short, and act on it
Explain every payment route without steering you towards one

What we do not do

Rank or rate clinics publicly. We are not a review site
Regulate anyone. AHPRA and the Dental Board do that, and you can search the register yourself
Give clinical advice, or second guess your dentist's assessment
Take a payment from any finance provider or super fund for sending you their way

Get Dental Implants is not a dental practice and does not provide dental treatment. Treatment is provided by independent partner dentists who are responsible for their own clinical decisions. We are paid by the clinic. Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks, and what suits you is decided by your dentist after an examination and 3D scans.

Common questions

About our partner dentists

About the people we would send you to.

If you want to know something about a clinic before you go, ask on the call. We would rather you did.

Ask us anything first.

Tell us your city and a consultant calls you back, usually the same day, with the clinic they have in mind and why.

Can I choose which dentist I see?

You can tell the consultant what matters to you, including location, timing and how you want to pay, and they will book you with the partner dentist that fits best. If you have somewhere specific in mind, say so on the call.

You are never locked in. Nothing is booked until you have spoken to a person and agreed to it.

Are your partner dentists registered?

Every dentist practising in Australia has to be registered with the Dental Board of Australia through AHPRA. That is the law rather than a favour, and it applies to every clinic we work with.

You can check any practitioner yourself on the public register at ahpra.gov.au. We would encourage it, and so would they.

Do partner clinics offer payment plans and help with super?

Yes. Offering flexible payment, and having real experience with patients funding treatment through early release of super, is one of the five standards every partner clinic has to meet.

A payment plan is still the provider's decision, and early release of super is still decided by the ATO. A clinic that has done it before makes the process smoother, not the outcome certain.

What happens if a partner clinic stops meeting the standards?

It stops being a partner. The five standards apply for as long as a clinic is on our list, not just on the day it joins, and a clinic that makes someone feel small does not stay.

If a partner clinic has let you down, tell us through the form and a person will call you back. Anything clinical can also be taken to AHPRA or to your state or territory health complaints body.

What if I see the dentist and do not want to go ahead?

That is no problem at all and it happens regularly. You keep the written treatment plan, the X-rays and the 3D scans, and you are free to take them elsewhere or to do nothing at all.

Nobody from our side will pressure you. The consultation is there to give you the information, not to commit you to anything.

What happens if something goes wrong with my treatment?

Your treatment is provided by the partner dentist, so anything clinical is between you and that clinic, and they are accountable through the usual channels including AHPRA and your state health complaints body.

We are not a dental practice and we cannot give clinical advice. What we can do is help you get in front of the right person at the clinic, and we want to know when a partner clinic has let someone down, because that is how a clinic stops being a partner.
