Dr. Mei Tan,
BDSc (Hons)

For Dr. Mei Tan, great dentistry starts with connection. She loves building relationships that span generations – treating kids, parents, and grandparents who all feel comfortable in her chair. Families trust her not only because of her gentle hands, but because she takes the time to understand each person’s story, fears, and goals.

Dr. Mei earned her Bachelor of Dental Science (Honours) from the University of Queensland in 2013 and has since completed further training in composite veneers, smile design, and restorative dentistry. She’s currently expanding into clear aligners and hopes to train in implant and sleep dentistry in the near future. Her technical skill is matched by a warm, grounded style that makes even the most complex treatments feel manageable.

She has worked with many anxious patients – those who haven’t seen a dentist in years, or who dread specific aspects like water spray, jaw fatigue, or the sound of drills. Her approach is methodical and patient-first: laying out the appointment, checking in at every step, offering options like oral medication, bite blocks, or headphones. One patient once called it “the first dental appointment I didn’t fear” – and has since completed their full treatment plan.

What she values most is helping people take back control over their dental health. That, and a perfectly polished bonding case. Outside the clinic, she finds calm in cooking, creativity in embroidery, and fun in board games and pilates.
