Perfect for patients who:

  • Prefer clear treatment plans without fluff
  • Want efficient, outcome-driven appointments
  • Feel reassured by a dentist who’s calm, steady, and in control
  • Appreciate honest, straightforward communication

You’ll appreciate this dentist’s:

  • Ability to break down complex procedures with clarity
  • Confidence in surgical and restorative care
  • Attention to both function and long-term results
  • No-nonsense approach, balanced by care and focus
  • Precision without overexplaining
  • Respect for your time and desire for clear direction

About Dr Ken Chen BDSc - Principal Dentist in Brighton Brisbane
Overview
💡 Meet the Practitioner

Dr. Ken Chen, BDSc (2009), has over a decade of experience in oral surgery, dental implants, and restorative care. He’s the kind of dentist who explains your options clearly, moves with quiet confidence, and stays steady even during complex or surgical treatments. Patients often say they feel more relaxed – not because things are easy, but because they know he’s in control.

✨ Read More About Dr. Ken

His interest in surgical dentistry began during university, where he observed hospital-based maxillofacial procedures and saw the impact of well-planned, decisive treatment. Today, he performs wisdom tooth removal, places dental implants, manages TMJ concerns, and provides restorative work such as same-day crowns.

Patients often comment on how easy he is to talk to, even during complex treatments. His ability to explain what’s happening (and why), helps build trust, particularly for those feeling uncertain or anxious.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Ken enjoys time with his young child, playing tennis, and staying active. That same sense of discipline and balance shapes how he works – clear expectations, thoughtful planning, and treatment that fits each patient’s needs.
