Why is this place called Leading Edge Dental?
Begin and end your day with a smile!
It’s mostly my obsessive desire to be the best I can possible be. Yeah I know that sounds like new age BS, but I’m too old to stop being me. I love learning new things, and I particularly love being on the cutting edge of technology. If there’s a snippet of knowledge or a piece of equipment, that will make your time in my chair shorter, more effective, or more pleasant, then I have it.
Below are just some of the Leading Edge techniques and equipment we have to make your dental experience better.
This is going to be the hottest thing in dentistry when more people find out about it. Are your gums receding? If not find something else to read. If they are, you need to know about this procedure.
I had the second one of these in Australia (some bastard in Melbourne got the first one delivered the day before). It’s a fancy pants high speed scanner that allows me to make you a crown on the spot. No goop in your mouth, no temporary crowns, no getting numb twice. All over in one pain free visit.
Once you’ve had your teeth cleaned this way you’ll never want your teeth cleaned any other way (yes it’s that good).
Why Choose Us?
We can give you many reasons, but here are a few
Our Team
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight!
Dr Brett Taylor
Commander in Teeth
Athletic, good looking, hirsute, humble, quietly spoken, impeccable dress sense. These are just a few of the attributes I’ve never been accused of possessing. I’m a half decent dentist however, which is more important than hair right?
Susan Marin
Jack of all trades (does everything)
This is Susan (aka Sue, Susana, Susy). See that smile? That’s not her acting happy, that’s the smile of a crazy woman. 10 hours a day, 4 days a week, 48 weeks a year for over 25 years, Susan sat by my side; listening to the same lame jokes day after day after day.
Margot Heather
(Oh so very) Senior Dental Assistant
Margot is the “new” Sue. When I advertised her position I wrote: “Wanted, dental assistant, preferably old and cranky to join my old and cranky team”. Margot was so perfectly qualified I hired her on the spot.
Amanda Bortz
Dental Hygienist
Amanda has “only” been with us 10 years. She graduated with a Bachelor of Oral Health from the University of Newcastle in 2012. Prior to that she was a dental assistant for 10+ years. Amanda is great with kids and old people (and most ages in between) and has become a much liked and valuable member of our team.
Mursal Ayub
Oral Health Therapist
Mursal is the odd one out around here because she is soooooooo young. God she’s young. I have a pair of shoes 25 years older than her. I’ll regularly say something like “ can you check the chart, when did I do the crown on the second molar”. And she’ll say “five years before I was born”.
Denise Maxwell
Practice Manager Emeritus, Bookkeeper
Denise started work here as a 16 year old in the late 60s (mini-skirt and all). Then, suddenly, after working here for only 53 years, she decided to retire? How disloyal and self-centred is that? Anyway the shrink said I had to move on so move on I will.

Teeth (and Health) Tips with Dr T
You are never fully dressed without a smile!
Did you know that eating Brazil nuts can lower your cholesterol MORE than prescription medication? No? That’s probably because the drug companies have a bigger marketing budget than the nut people.
