Dr Leo Tse, BDS
Dr Leo moved to Australia from Hong Kong over 30 years ago. Having discovered his passion for dentistry soon after, he then went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 1994 from the University of Adelaide. He was then in public practice in rural New South Wales before returning to beautiful Melbourne. He took over this practice from Dr George Brivulis in 2004 and has gradually introduced various modern technologies to enhance patient comfort as well as optimising clinical outcomes.
Keeping Informed on the Latest in Dentistry
Staying up to date with the advancements in dentistry is important to Dr Leo. He continually pursues professional development and takes regular courses. His special interests include implant dentistry, cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics.
Dr Leo also likes having advanced equipment and techniques that can not only rebuild teeth and mouths but rejuvenate people’s lives.
Staying Active Outside of the Practice
Dr Leo lives in Melbourne with his wife and kids. Their family enjoys bike riding or playing football together. Dr Leo also enjoys a spot of DIY in his spare time!
He is a member of the Australian Dental Association and the Australian Society of Implant Dentistry.
