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.

FAQs

Questions about meeting the dentists

These answer-first FAQs help you understand who you may meet, how to request a dentist, and what can be discussed before any advice is given.

General information only. Your dentist can advise after examination, history, and discussion of your circumstances.

Can I choose which dentist I see?

You can request a dentist when booking. The team will explain availability and whether the appointment type is suitable for that clinician.

How do I request a specific dentist?

Mention the dentist's name when you call or book now. If that dentist is not available at the time you want, the team can discuss the closest suitable option.

Are the dentists registered in Australia?

Yes. The dentists listed on this page are AHPRA registered dentists, and their registration strings are read from the shared clinic team data.

Who will examine me at the first visit?

A dentist will lead the examination. The exact clinician depends on your concern, appointment type, availability, and whether you request someone specific.

Can I ask for the principal dentist?

Yes. You can ask about seeing Dr. Chopra, the principal dentist at the practice, especially for implant or larger restorative planning questions.

Which dentist should I see for implant questions?

Dr. Chopra is often involved in implant and larger restorative planning conversations. Suitability and options still need to be assessed before advice can be given.

Which dentist should I see for general or family care?

Dr. Ng and Dr. Lau both support general dental care conversations. The team can help choose an appointment based on the person attending, the concern, and availability.

What if I feel embarrassed or overdue?

You can still book. The first conversation focuses on what is happening now, what worries you most, and what needs checking before any plan is discussed.

What if I feel anxious about seeing a dentist?

Tell the team when booking if dental visits feel difficult. The appointment can be paced around explanation, consent, and checking what you are comfortable discussing on the day.

Can I book for a second opinion with one of the dentists?

Yes. Bring any written plan, item numbers, x-rays, scans, or questions you already have. The dentist can explain what they can and cannot assess from the information available.

Will treatment happen at the first visit?

Sometimes simple care may be possible, but many first visits focus on examination, explanation, imaging needs, written planning, or stabilising an urgent concern.

Is this page different from the Our Team page?

Yes. This page focuses on the dentists you may meet for examination and treatment planning. The Our Team page also explains wider care team and oral health therapy support.
