During a two-week fundraising campaign staff dressed up as farmers and patients were encouraged to donate to the Flying Doctor in more than 60 National Dental Care locations across Australia.
The company donated $5,000 to the Flying Doctor and patients gave about $5,000 in-person and online.
"The Flying Doctor has a 90-year tradition of helping families who are in drought-affected areas," Dr Antony Benedetto from National Dental Care said.
"We know the Flying Doctor has an oral health program and in times like drought we are particularly appreciative of that."
Senior Flying Doctor dentist Dr Lyn Mayne thanked everyone who donated and said the service was grateful for the support.
A cheque handover presentation between the two organisations is expected to take place in coming weeks.
