Personal and practice income
How lenders may assess a dentist's income
For employed dentists, lenders may review salary, commissions and regular additional income. Practice owners may need business and personal tax returns, profit and loss statements, balance sheets and details of equipment or practice loans. Some policies use recent financials, while others require a longer history.
Assessment methods differ between lenders and remain subject to full verification and credit approval.

Frequently asked questions
Direct answers to common questions about Australian medical professional lending.
Are dentists eligible for LMI waivers?
Some lenders include eligible dentists in medical professional policies that may waive or reduce Lenders Mortgage Insurance at selected loan-to-value ratios. Registration, income, loan purpose and property criteria apply.
Can a dental practice owner get a home loan?
Yes, subject to the lender's self-employed assessment. Clear and current business financials, tax records and details of practice liabilities help the lender understand sustainable personal income.
Will equipment finance affect borrowing capacity?
It can. Equipment leases and business loans may be treated as ongoing commitments, although the assessment can differ depending on the borrower, entity and lender policy.
Can early-career dentists apply?
Yes. Some lenders consider recently qualified or early-career dentists, but income history, registration, employment terms, deposit and other debts remain important.
