Dr Steven believes everyone should be able to eat and smile confidently through access to high-quality, individualised dental care. He finds the greatest professional satisfaction in helping people overcome their dental apprehension and problems and seeing work he has done last many years.
After growing up in Melbourne, Steven graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Dentistry with First Class Honors in 2015. Since graduating, he has worked in private practice in regional Victoria and metropolitan Melbourne, while also tutoring dental students within the public system.
During your first visit, his focus is to listen carefully to understand exactly what results you seek, as well as a comprehensive examination. After this, there will be a collaborative dialogue about the findings. Together, you will discuss a course of action that provides predictable, satisfactory results within budget. He can provide examples of many common dental problems and solutions from personal experience, and has spent time learning how to communicate to suit all kinds of patients.
Steven has immersed himself in educational resources over the years to gain a comprehensive understanding of all facets of dentistry. This knowledge helps him expertly guide his patients through their dental challenges. He is up to date with current trends in dentistry and has done a formal residency in digital smile design – which allows clear communication and planning of treatment before it begins. While he would rather see patients keep their own teeth through proactive action, he has also developed a special interest in cosmetic and rehabilitative work. This includes orthodontics, dental implants and fixed prosthodontics (crown, bridge, veneers, onlays). A logical mind, extensive clinical experience, and a passion to learn from leading experts enable him to provide accurate advice and deliver effective treatment.
Outside of work, Steven enjoys continuous learning, physical conditioning, connecting with nature, and spending quality time with family. He loves savoring a good meal followed by an evening walk, as well as reading and traveling.
