Find a Dentist in Albury
27 dental practices in the Albury area are listed on Find a Dentist.
Albury and Wodonga sit either side of the Murray River, and many people live in one state and work or shop in the other. For dental care that mostly does not matter, but for public dental services it does, because eligibility depends on the state you live in.
Describe what you need in the search above, such as “dentist in Lavington, after-school appointment” or “Albury dentist with payment plans”.

Public dental care across the border

If you live in Victoria (Wodonga side), Victorian rules apply instead, including eligibility for all children aged 0–12 and for concession card holders. Victorians can call the Royal Dental Hospital Melbourne’s line for people outside metropolitan Melbourne on 1800 833 039 to find a clinic.
Medicare, health funds and payment options in Albury
Most dental care is not covered by Medicare, and private health insurance extras cover helps within your policy’s limits. Ask any practice in Albury for a written treatment plan, whether you can claim your health fund on the day, and whether payment plans are available. You can include these in your search. See the New South Wales guide for public dental eligibility.
