How is Dental 99 able to offer such low prices?
Quick answer: We are tech-based dental practices. Modern technology streamlines our booking and admin, and strategic supplier partnerships help us secure competitive rates on equipment and materials. That means our resources go into clinical care and the patient, not into overheads, and not into clinical shortcuts.
Dental care in Australia is expensive enough that a lot of people simply go without, and end up needing more treatment later. That is the problem we exist to solve, making high-quality dentistry accessible for All in Australia. Here is honestly how the numbers work.
Technology handles the admin
Booking, check in, payments, records and reminders all happen in the app. No phone queue, no reception desk, no forms to fill in when you arrive.
That is a lot of paperwork and phone time taken out of every appointment. In a traditional practice, all of that has to be paid for somehow, and it usually shows up in the price of your visit. We have designed it out instead of building it into the fee.
Our resources go to the chair, not the back office
This is the part that matters. What we spend goes into clinical care and into keeping the price where it is, rather than into the overheads of running an office. That is the whole trade, and it is the reason a Clean and Check Up is $99.
Strategic supplier partnerships
Because of the way we buy, and the scale we buy at, we secure competitive rates on the equipment and materials we use every day. Same quality products, better price for us, which flows through to a better price for you.
Fewer wasted appointments
Because appointments are paid for at booking, far fewer go unused. Empty chairs are one of the biggest hidden costs in dentistry, and in most practices that cost is quietly spread across everyone else's fees. We have designed it out rather than passing it on.
Fixed prices, no surprises
Prices are listed before you book and do not change afterwards. Part of what makes dentistry expensive is not knowing what you will be charged, which stops a lot of people booking at all.
What we do not do
We do not cut clinical corners. Every clinician is a fully qualified, AHPRA registered practitioner, and we use the same standard of materials you would expect anywhere else.
