Michael Dent

I graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Dental Science, and since then have pursued my dental education by completing post-graduate studies in Dental Sleep Medicine, and additional study and training in CAD/CAM dentistry and Advanced Implant Restoration. I was the sole owner of a private dental practice in North West Victoria, before joining Star Family Dental as the Practice Principal/Owner where I have been ever since.I have always had a long interest in health and working to help people using science, and also my hands. In particular, I am interested in dental sleep medicine, implant restorations, and CAD/CAM crown and bridge dentistry. I believe in placing a strong emphasis on preventative dentistry, and a team based approach incorporating dental auxiliaries and specialists. As part of the National Dental Care team at Star Family Dental, I am enjoying the long established relationships with patients and staff, and the relaxed and warm feel of the practice.Personally, I work hard to make sure patients believe I am listening genuinely to their concerns, explaining their treatment options and providing thorough comprehensive dentistry of a high quality in a caring gentle manner.Outside of the practice, I have been a President of the Australian Dental Association (NSW Far North Coast Branch) and an inaugural member of the Northern Rivers Dental Study Club. I devote time to being involved in Dental Rescue days to help disadvantaged patients.
