What Sets Us Apart

Same Day Restorations

CEREC technology allows certain restorations to be designed, created and placed in a single visit.

Explore Same Day Restorations

Full Mouth Rehabilitation

When the whole mouth needs attention, every part has a role. Full mouth rehabilitation brings the bite, function and restoration together as one plan.

Physiologic Dentistry

Bite. Muscle. Joint. Bone. A way of understanding how they work together, and letting that understanding guide treatment.

Technology with a purpose.

The right technology makes more of the invisible visible, giving us a clearer understanding of what is happening, why it's happening, and how we can provide single-visit dentistry.

Based in Melbourne. Visited from across the world.

A single-location practice, reached from well outside the location.

Full-mouth and TMJ cases travel here from across the United States and Canada, and from Europe, Iceland and India, for a diagnosis built on measurement, not proximity.

The same discipline has been taught to colleagues across the United States and abroad: in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, South America, India, the United Arab Emirates, Korea and the Philippines.
