Hi there, my name is Max and I’m the founder and principal dentist at Dental on Flinders. I have three goals in mind when I treat my patients: focus on prevention, minimally invasive treatment, and transparency about fees and processes. I am highly skilled in all aspects of General, Restorative and Cosmetic dentistry.   I’m involved in research projects with UoM studying expert elicitation and machine learning in dentistry, topics I’m very passionate about. Look for me on Twitter!   I take pride in operating a small, family owned business.Outside of dentistry, I live in South Melbourne with my lovely wife Sach and mischievous sons Seth and Travis.

Hello, I’m Elise. I have a diverse role as an Oral Health Therapist. I work closely with my colleagues at Dental on Flinders to provide patient focused care. I have an interest in dental hygiene and enjoy providing a fun experience at the clinic. When I'm not at work, I like to keep active whether it's going to the gym, taking my fluffy dog Chase for a walk or getting involved in a netball game. I also enjoy travelling and cannot wait to enjoy baked goods from all over the world again.

Hi, My name is Kitt and I'm the Hygienist here at Dental on Flinders. You're gonna get such a good clean, your gums are gonna look better than ever. If gum selfies were a thing you would be posting one every day. Everyone in your feed would be like "OMG, can you stop with this? I'm jealous!" The research tells us that home care plaque control is the most important factor in the long term health of your gums. I could talk about the microbiology of plaque and why you need to disrupt it regularly all day long! Like everyone at DoF, I'm a big believer in the power of prevention and I'm looking forward to meeting you and working together to improve your oral health.
