Home Loans for Dentists

Dentists have one of the most consistently strong income profiles of any profession — yet many lenders don't know how to correctly assess dental practice income, associate billing, or ownership distributions. Lend & Loan does. We help dentists borrow more, pay less upfront, and buy sooner.

🏥 AHPRA Eligibility — Dentists

Lender classification: Group 1 — Dental Practitioner (division must be 'Dentist')
Registration must be verified on the AHPRA website (or relevant veterinary board for vets). Eligible registration types: Generalist Registration or Specialist Registration.
Provisional, Limited, and Non-practising registrations are generally not eligible — though temporary non-practising (e.g. parental leave) may be assessed by Credit Assessment.

What Is the Medical Professional (Medico) Package?

Select Australian lenders offer a Medical Professional Package — also called the Medico Package — to registered healthcare practitioners. The core benefit is a waiver of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) on loans up to 95% LVR, saving eligible dentists $15,000–$40,000 upfront.

LMI is normally required when you borrow more than 80% of a property's value. For most Australians, this means an additional cost of tens of thousands of dollars. For eligible dentists, it's waived entirely — because lenders recognise the stability and earning trajectory of registered healthcare professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the LMI waiver apply to dental specialists like orthodontists?

Yes — dental specialists registered under AHPRA with division 'Dentist' and Specialist registration type qualify. Oral health therapists, hygienists, and dental prosthetists typically do not qualify.

I own a dental practice — how do lenders assess my income?

Practice owner income can be complex. We'll review your business financials, addback eligible expenses, and present your true earning capacity to lenders who understand dental business structures.

Can a new graduate dentist access the LMI waiver?

Yes, in most cases. Lenders look at AHPRA registration status, not years in practice. Generalist registration as a Dentist is the key eligibility requirement.

What if I work across multiple practices?

We handle multi-practice income structures regularly. We'll consolidate your income correctly and match you to the lender most comfortable with your setup.

⚠️ Important: Not All Allied Health Professions Qualify Under lender Medico Package policies, the following professions are typically not eligible for LMI waivers: Nurses, Midwives, Occupational Therapists, Osteopaths, Pharmacists, Podiatrists, Psychologists, Radiographers, Dental or Oral Health Therapists/Hygienists, and Dental Prosthetists. If you're in one of these professions, we can still find you a competitive home loan — just through different channels.
