Essendon has an unusually strong field of dentists — eight of the 25 servicing the area have earned a recent Word of Mouth Service Award (32% award rate), with 1,520 customer reviews and an average rating of 4.9 stars.

Ratings & trust

Customer follow-up responses paint a clear satisfaction picture: 100% would choose their dentist again, 100% found them on time and reliable and 100% described them as friendly and professional. Review flow in Essendon runs above typical: 80.0 new dentist reviews a year (174% above the Victorian average) — more reviewer activity than most suburbs have on file.

Cost guide

Across reviewed dentist jobs in Essendon, $280 is the median price — most jobs come in between $190 and $305 — 10% above the Victorian average. Nearby: Essendon North ($280), Aberfeldie ($280), Strathmore ($280). Prices have risen 83% since 2011 (from $150 to $275 median), averaging 5.9% per year. If you've received a quote above $305, it lands in the top 25% locally — reasonable for more complex work, worth questioning for routine jobs.

Household incomes in Essendon ($2,132/week) run above the $1,748/week national median, and so does dentist pricing — 10% above the Victorian average. Comparing quotes can still find value within that band.

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 Essendon 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.
