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?
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.

The thoughts of others
kevin o'connor11/12/2024 Great staff very friendly and caring couldn't recommend enough 👍 Gen Wilson11/12/2024 Brett and the team always look after me. It’s as pleasant as a dental appointment can be, lol Lincoln Sullivan10/12/2024 Loved how well Dr. took onboard, calmly and simply explained his findings after neglecting my mouth throughout my adult life. Reception was outgoing and friendly and unknowingly until advised credited to the balance of my consult for referencing the advertisement that got delivered into my letterbox. His equipment is incredibly advance & I was blown away with how simple a quote complex procedure was made. Lionel Savins05/12/2024 I must accept the fact that the staff at Leading Edge Dental are both friendly, efficient and also forgiving if you forget an appointment. On top of this, they do a very thorough job when it comes to caring for your teeth. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a dentist who is courteous, understanding and efficient and who does a very good job. Michael Jones04/12/2024 I was skeptical about the painless injection, but it was the first time I’ve been to a dentist where the experience of getting a filling was truly painless. Offering headphones with calming music also made a big difference. It was the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist. Monica Rafferty26/11/2024 I always get first class dental care at Leading Edge. Any dental problems are picked up early and work is done to fix /stem the problem efficiently. All staff are friendly and professional. Many thanks. Caroline Kenny20/11/2024 Highly recommend this dentist for anyone, especially kids. I’ve taken my 2 girls recently and Brett was amazing with them . Staff are just so friendly. David Roger15/10/2024 Doctor Brett was most professional, courteous and made me feel very much at ease. He was humorous and was extremely interesting to chat with. He was also most knowledgeable and his practice has the most state-of-the-art equipment I have ever seen. He is most definitely my preferred dentist of choice as of today. Many thanks Doctor Brett . Additionally, he was careful to fully explain his diagnosis and not in rush to conclude the consultation . Many thanks Doctor Brett ! Another visit today (10 July )and another painless filing !! Amazed (again) with Doctor Brett and his superb skills.
