Book with SIA Dental Essendon

Edmund, a Melbourne native, completed his dental degree at The University of Melbourne and holds a Membership in Advanced General Dental Practice with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons. Before joining Sia Dental Essendon in 2016, he gained valuable experience working in both public and private sectors across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria. Edmund is dedicated to patient education and comprehensive care. He believes it’s important for patients to understand their dental health and strives to create a safe, non-judgmental environment for them to learn about and address their oral health concerns. Over the years, he has helped many anxious patients transform into confident and regular dental attendees. He explains, *“Our perceptions of dentistry are often shaped by unpleasant past experiences or fear of the unknown. My goal is to address your concerns and replace those perceptions with positive experiences using modern techniques and a gentle approach.”* Edmund has a keen interest in periodontics, focusing on gum health, as well as the placement and restoration of dental implants. He also offers additional services, such as creating sleep appliances, with an emphasis on airway health. He enjoys treating children, ensuring their first dental visits are positive and enjoyable experiences. Outside of work, Edmund leads an active lifestyle and occasionally plays squash. He is also passionate about coffee making and enjoys exploring how coffee origins, traits, and brewing methods interconnect.

Kelly, a mother of two young children, has a deep understanding of how to care for children and families. With over 10 years of experience in both public and private dental clinics, she brings a wealth of knowledge to her practice. Her dental philosophy emphasizes preventive care and patient education. Kelly focuses on restoring teeth using a biomimetic approach, aiming to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible. By mimicking the natural tooth, she seeks to enhance durability and potentially reduce the need for future root canals. Outside of dentistry, Kelly enjoys traveling, going for walks, experimenting with new recipes, and exploring different cafes and restaurants. She cherishes spending quality time with her family and friends.
