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
We Won't Judge You
Life can be hard. Sometimes looking after yourself takes a back seat. We get that. Too often, people tell me they delayed making an appointment because they were embarrassed by the state of their teeth. Rest assured, we won’t rouse on you, or make you feel guilty, or in any way make you feel bad for not coming in sooner. The truth is the bigger the challenge, the more fun it is to treat. So please don’t feel ashamed about your mouth; you might actually be making my day.
We’ll Help You Live Longer (and healthier)
Your oral health can affect your general health AND your life expectancy. Gum disease increases your risk of stroke, heart attack and dementia. The shape of your tongue and jaws can increase your risk of sleep apnoea, which will decrease your life expectancy if you’re an adult or reduce your IQ if you’re a child. This stuff gets missed too often, but not by me. Read a few of the Google reviews below. I’m not just looking at your teeth. I’m looking at everything.
We’re Not Trying to Sell You Anything
My job is to figure out what’s going on in your mouth and then let you know your options. I strongly believe people are entitled to make their own health decisions. Yes, I’ll make a case for getting healthier and preventing future problems, but it’s your body, not mine. I’d rather lose a toe than a tooth, but that’s me. Provided I’ve done my job properly and explained everything clearly, I’ll respect whatever you decide to do. It’s your body, not mine (I’ve said that already, but it’s worth repeating).

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? (More)
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. (More)
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. (More)
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. (More)
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”. (More)
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. (More)

The thoughts of others
Posted on Brandon Leong20/01/2026 Brett has fixed up all my fillings from previous dental work that was deteriorating over the last year. His work is quality. He also removed a wisdom tooth which was painless.Posted on AnnieA13/01/2026 I highly recommend this practice. Great friendly staff, the latest technology, and wonderful dental care.Posted on Christina Papandreas26/12/2025 I’ve had so many issues with my teeth and jaw and no dentist has ever helped me the way Dr Brett has. He knows more than any dentist I have ever tried. He is by far the best and I would only ever recommend him to people.Posted on Bill Brown16/12/2025 My wife and I transferred from our previous dentist to Brett recently and having just completed a difficult route canal procedure, I can only praise Brett for his skill, and for the first time in at least 4 years, am confident , that the problem tooth is now fixed, which is quite a relief. I was impressed by the thoroughness of Brett's approach from the start and the whole process was painless throughout. The whole team are very experienced and friendly and made us feel comfortable immediately. We have no hesitation in recommending Brett and his team. I am updating my comments at 7th February 2024, to reaffirm my complete satisfaction with Brett and his team. Since my first contact , roughly 3 years ago, the health of my teeth generally, has improved significantly, and most importantly, the health of my gums is excellent. This has meant that I haven’t needed fillings or any other repair work since Brett carried out root canal work a few years ago. I have followed the advice to floss, use Piksters and brush my teeth twice every day as recommended by Brett and his team and the results speak for themselves. Thanks again to you and your team Brett for showing me the way!! Cheers Bill.Posted on Vojislav Ilic02/12/2025 In his younger days, Dr Taylor was an excellent practitioner. Following my recent visit I belatedly discovered a change often ascribed to the vows of old age. Dr Taylor pulled out 4 of my healthy front teeth immediately I got strapped in his dentists’ chair during my visit to check the status of my teeth. Without saying anything at all, he pulled out 4 (FOUR) of my front healthy teeth and then cheerfully reassured me he knows of a good denture clinic!! He did appear somewhat angry - and, unfortunately I was to bear the brunt of his of his now mercurial attitude. I put out this. note on record to alert potential patients to the unbalanced nature of an aged professional, obviously unhappy with his life, and vengeful - to release his pent up emotions. BEWARE!!!Posted on Bennett Heung29/11/2025 The quality of care and service of the staff is amazing! Highly recommend!Posted on Sandy L13/11/2025 Time to update my review - still supremely happy with Brett & his wonderful team & how many people can say that about their dentist! :) I would highly recommend Dr Brett Taylor & the team at Leading Edge Dental. In the past I'd had some horrible experiences with previous dentists, and am glad I've now found a dentist who actually listens & cares. His painless injection technique works a treat.Posted on Gail Males30/09/2025 Went to Brett for a review after another dentist stuffed up my braces a few years ago and he was terrific. He gave me great advise. He fixed the problems and eventually he did my teeth implants and I couldn't be happier. No dentures for me. And yesterday I had a crown done and today there is no pain or discomfort. Its just like my own tooth. Then a call from Brett himself this morning to check how I was going... very impressed. You are in safe and trusted hands with Brett and his wonderful team.Posted on Alicia T22/09/2025 Still young and already a VIP member of the “crowns, implants and root canals” club. My dentist, Dr Brett has handled it all with incredible skill, professionalism and just the right amount of inappropriate humour to keep my anxious self calm in the chair. He skilfully looks after my 7 year old son and even has my ‘my teeth are fine” reluctant husband coming back for return visits. Highly recommend if you want world-class, local dentistry with a side of comedy.Posted on Lisa Lagarez21/08/2025 The standout dentist in the St George area for both professionalism and a person-centred experienceGoogle rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 169 reviews
