Principal dentist
For implant or larger restorative questions
Dr. Chopra is the principal dentist and is often requested when patients want a careful conversation about missing teeth, implants, or staged restorative planning.
If you are booking after a long gap, feeling nervous, comparing options, or simply wanting to know who will examine you, this page introduces the dentists before your first visit. Advice starts after assessment, but trust often starts with knowing the person across the chair.
These are the dentists you may meet at The Dental & Implant Studio. The wider care team, including oral health therapy support, is introduced on the full team page.

Role: Principal Dentist, DEN0001372159
Principal Dentist Dr. Chopra is often involved when patients want a careful explanation of implant, restorative, and larger planning options after assessment.
Dr. Chopra graduated from the University of Western Australia and focuses on helping patients understand their dental health before making decisions. His consultations place emphasis on education, careful assessment, and treatment planning that is explained in practical language.
At the studio, Dr. Chopra is closely involved in implant and restorative conversations, including suitability, function, aesthetics, maintenance, and the sequence of care. Outside dentistry, he enjoys motorsports, football, and music, and is Vice President of the WA Dental Alumni Association.
His consultations are suited to patients who want time to understand what has been found before choosing a next step.
You can request a clinician, or simply explain what is happening and let the team guide the appointment type. The dentist's advice still begins after assessment.
