*2026-08-20, version 1.7.1*

So easy to use and access great savings

### 4/5 — Good product

*2026-08-11, version 1.7.1*

Smile.com.au is 5 stars. App is 4, generally seems ok but logging in can be difficult - bit glitchy I have to type in my email address each time. Hopefully the next update will correct the issue.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-11, version 1.6.1*

I’ve saved with every appointment! So worth it, definitely recommend

### 5/5 — Best Dental Cover

This is hands down the best dental cover on the market.

### 5/5 — Saves us money

*2026-08-10, version 1.6.1*

Saves us money. The only thing I would add to the app is the ability to add the card to my iPhone wallet.

### 5/5 — Good app

Good

Recomiendo

### 5/5 — Excited to Start Saving

*2026-07-28, version 1.6.1*

Just signed up yesterday! The process was quick and easy, and I love that there are no waiting periods. Looking forward to my first dental appointment and seeing the savings!

### 4/5 — App is fair

*2026-07-27, version 1.6.1*

As for the value of signing up to smile itself. I think it’s still worthwhile, but nowhere near the value you think it is. The discounts on their sites are illustrative only. The real discount depends on the practitioner. In my case, the discount was still worthwhile, but paltry.

### 5/5 — Why pay more?

*2026-07-25, version 1.6.1*

Great if you have the need for dental work that your medical cover doesnt properly cover.

### 5/5 — 👍

*2026-07-24, version 1.6.1*

Real savings

### 5/5 — Insurance at low cost

*2026-07-23, version 1.6.1*

App simple and easy to use to keep track of dental visits- costs and fee reductions. Especially beneficial for those needing extended work done.

Great

### 5/5 — Excited

I was recommended this and I am excited to see the benefits

### 4/5 — It works most of the time

*2026-07-21, version 1.6.1*

Smile gives you ok discounts but make sure that the clinic takes the card first and ask what discount you can get.

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-01-14, version 1.5.4*

Very friendly lovely people nice tide dental office highly recommend

### 1/5 — Good

*2025-12-04, version 1.5.4*

Good

### 1/5 — Laggy App

*2025-09-30, version 1.5.0*

App needs fixing, couldn’t open it despite closing and opening several times.

### 1/5 — Not effective, almost a scam

*2025-05-28, version 1.4.3*

This app didn’t provide any value. The pricing is misleading — the cost is often just as expensive as what you’d pay at a regular dentist. In my cases, they even overcharge for certain items than elsewhere. You’re better off going directly to a trusted dental clinic.

### 1/5 — Smiley gives you discount

*2025-03-07, version 1.4.1*

I love it

### 1/5 — App is a bit slow app and freeze

*2023-09-01, version 1.1.41*

App is slow and freezes when you navigate the app.  You have to close the app a few times as it will freeze.  Some rewards are actually a hassle and will take for than 2 months waiting period with too many steps to do, it’s not straight forward and user friendly.  I gave them a 5 Star product review last 2 months with the hope of getting a discounts before the renewal but until now I haven’t had that discounts rewards yet and it just renews automatically with the full price…..very cheeky! Just be aware.  

Dentist also have different price list if you’re a smile member. I thought it would be cheaper to use both my private insurance plus this membership but actually it’s not.  So I’ve always asked my dentist which is the cheaper option, both (smile + private insurance), smile alone or private insurance alone.  Most of them are honest enough to gave me the breakdown of every cost and 99% of the time using my private insurance alone is more cheaper than using both or using smile membership…making it really a useless cost.

It would have been perfect if the accredited dentist won’t jack up their prices so we can avail a double dip discounts but unfortunately it’s not like that as what I believed initially.  Just confirmed it with you dentist.  It’s just another cost with little or no benefit at all.

### 3/5 — 😍

*2026-01-20, version 1.5.4*

Helped with reducing expenses in today’s economy

### 3/5 — App use is better than website

*2025-07-10, version 1.4.3*

The app is better than the website, but it is slow and freezes when loading invoices.

### 3/5 — Painless Process - If Only The Dentist Was

*2025-07-01, version 1.4.3*

Smile app needs a little work, it's clunky but kinda gets the job done.

### 3/5 — No waiting month

*2025-03-27, version 1.4.2*

The coverage isn’t great, but there’s no waiting period, and it’s better than nothing. Plus, it’s affordable, so it works

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great, affordable family cover.

*2026-08-24, version 1.7.1*

I’ve been a smile member for 7 years & have found they are on par with private health for savings at a smile preferred dentist. (There are heaps of Smile preferred dentists where I live so excellent availability too.)

The difference is unlike private health you can reduce your annual already cheap membership by referring a friend, adding a 2nd payment method to your smile account & many other ways. So unlike private health your premium gets cheaper rather than increasing every year! Absolutely worth every penny. 10/10!
