At 90 points you are right near the top of the Dental Specialist Skilled Work Regional (491) queue. Very few people sit this high, but it is a high-competition band and the published counts there are redacted, so we won't put a precise number on it. Realistically, a score this strong is usually invited quickly when rounds run. This regional stream already includes the +15 nomination points.

How to read this

The Department of Home Affairs invites the highest-scoring Expressions of Interest first, so what matters most is roughly how many people sit at or above your score in the Dental Specialist queue, and whether that queue is growing or shrinking. The fewer people ahead of you and the more the queue is easing, the shorter your likely wait. We read this from the real submitted queue, not from invitation cut-offs, because the published invitation numbers are heavily redacted. Smaller brackets are published only as under twenty, so we frame your position as approximate, and at the very top of the queue, where almost everything is redacted, we describe where you sit rather than invent a precise count. The confidence note on the tool tells you how much of that queue is real public data. When the data is too thin to model a wait, we say so rather than guess.
