Dentists

Dr Robert Aslan

Dr Aslan graduated from Sydney University in 1985 with BDS. He is a firm believer in the use of technology to improve outcomes for dental solutions for his patients. Dr Aslan firmly believes in minimally invasive dentistry. He maintains that prevention of dental disease is essential in modern suburban living, where the stresses of life impact greatly on the health of the dentition. He is also very aware of the impact of the teeth and jaws on the body as a whole.

Dr Aslan has been recognised as a leader in dental Laser technology and has taught hundreds of dentists and specialists in the effective use of Lasers in dentistry. Previous techniques applied to save many teeth that others have deemed not to be restorable, have benefited greatly with the Laser technology. Dr Aslan has kept many patients with chronic periodontal disease healthy for years without the painful and expensive techniques that have been taught in the past. Many patients that have given up on the old techniques are now under comfortable management. Dr Aslan understands how precious his patients time is, he has been able to convert many treatments that traditionally took months to complete, into a single day treatment. He takes referrals from other dentists who understand the great results obtained from the Laser technology applied at his surgery.

Dr Aslan has taught locally and internationally and is the current Australian trainer for Biolase Laser systems. He lectures often on the use of Lasers in the surgery, periodontics and minimally invasive cavity preparations.

Dr Aslan uses operating microscope and has refined techniques for the minimal preparations, often no anaesthetic is necessary.
