How we picked dentists in Sydney

The list is ordered by what patients say, weighted by how many patients have written about each practice, then by the range of care it lists, its weekend hours, and whether it claims health funds on the spot. A practice counts as after-hours only when it says so on its own pages. Each practice's own site was read for the care it offers and how it explains treatment, and each entry says where the practice is based.
