Dr Jeff practices with us on Thursdays.

Jeff has many very long-standing patients who come from all over NSW to see him. This is due to his open, honest communication style, calm manner, gentle hands (and also probably because he doesn’t take himself too seriously).  His passion for Cosmetic and Implant dentistry was ignited during his implant training in the 90’s with Nobel BioCare (the Swedish inventors of Dental Implants) and through his association with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. This organisation allowed Jeff to learn from world leaders in this field. In 2003 he also attended the world renown Branemark Implant Centre (Perth) to further refine his skills in Implant surgery. Jeff believes that by taking time to explain and answer questions regarding treatment options he is empowering his patients to make the best decisions for themselves about their long-term oral health.

Jeff holds a Bachelor of Dental Surgery and a Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry, both from the University of Sydney. He was also granted a Fellowship from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (2008).

More recently Jeff has developed a very strong interest in the treatment of Sleep Apnoea and Snoring Prevention, especially as this can profoundly affect patients’ lives.
