BDS (Otago), General Dentist
Dr Philip L Hand is a male General Dentist.
Proudly born, raised and schooled in Melbourne and subsequently studying Dentistry in New Zealand, I first practised in Broken Hill and Geelong, and then on my return to Melbourne began practise with David in 1988.
Using the many skills honed over many years of continued and vigorous study, enables us to provide our patients with an informed range of options that allow them to decide on the treatment plan that suits them best to produce the beautiful smiles we all desire. Offering the vast array of dental treatments that we do, most commonly means that patients do not require referral to other specialties, thus making us more of a one stop shop. We cater for the entire range of dental services including whitening, smile makeovers, dental implants, gum and periodontal treatment.
A laser user since 2010, I am able to complete most restorative dentistry with little to no anaesthetic, perform single visit root fillings, non-surgical periodontal treatments and treat snoring with the unique NightLase laser snoring procedure.
I am an educator and International speaker and train local and overseas dentists in the use of the lasers for dental treatments.
I have completed an International Master’s Degree in Laser Dentistry at Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Roma after having completed over 200 hours of laser training at the prestigious Laser Aesthetic & Health Academy in Slovenia.
