The 5 Best Dentists in Brisbane (2026)
Five Brisbane dental clinics our editors compared on pricing transparency, opening hours, treatments and patient experience — from family check-ups to implants and Invisalign.
By Quick answer
- Best overall West End Family Dentist
- Cosmetic dentistry & veneers Teneriffe Dental Studio
- Orthodontics & clear aligners Kind Tooth Clinic Paddington
How this list is ordered: listings marked “Featured” are paid Premium placements; other listings are ordered by plan (Standard, then Basic) and then by our editors’ ranking. “Best overall” is always our editors’ pick. Links to businesses are provided for reference.
A good dentist is one you actually go back to: clear about prices, easy to book and gentle with nervous patients. Brisbane has hundreds of clinics, and the differences are bigger than the waiting rooms suggest.
We compared clinics around Brisbane on how clearly they quote, when they are open, which treatments they offer in-house and what patients say about them. Tip: a routine check-up and clean here typically costs from about A$65 to A$170 — always ask for a written quote before larger treatments.
