About The Sydney Implant Institute

In 2011, The Sydney Implant Institute was created.

“I saw the need for a purpose-built implant clinic, where patients could have everything done at once, many patients like the idea of placing implants and restoring them in the same location. I have always been very passionate about dental implants and always loved the idea of starting new treatment from scratch, as opposed to building on compromised foundations. By using the latest technology and techniques, and incorporating it into a purpose built facility meant that patients had access to experienced surgeons in a relaxing atmosphere, with Australia’s best technicians and the world’s leading implant companies all in one place.”
