“My focus is making sure our patients receive the best possible care and dental outcomes.”

A family general dentist for over 25 years, Dr Melisa says the most rewarding part of her work is building long-term trusting relationships with the children, parents and grandparents of her patients. Renowned for her gentle touch and approachable manner, Dr Melisa strives to create the perfect restoration for every patient. She is also qualified to treat sleep apnea and snoring and liaise with patients, sleep physicians and GP’s.

Dr Melisa is an Adelaide graduate who developed her general dental skills in country Victoria and Brisbane before returning to practice Adelaide in 2000. She is as an active member of the ADA and regularly attends professional development forums.

Dr Melisa’s consulting days at Dentistry on Unley are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and some Saturdays, and she welcomes all new patients.

Outside of dentistry, Dr Melisa has two daughters, is a keen green thumb and enjoys exploring walking trails in Adelaide with her husband.
