Our Dentists

Dr Stephen Lee

Having graduated from the University of Queensland, I began my dental career in private practice. Not long after, I opened my own dental practice in Noosa, where I worked for a few years, before relocating to Melbourne. In 2011, I joined the team at Craigieburn Dental Gallery, which has a great environment and patient focus.

I enjoy all areas of dentistry including general restoative (fillings), crown and bridge, endodontics (root fillings) and even implants. My philosophy, when it comes to dentistry, is to try and provide the best care possible in view of a good long term result. I believe that good home care, coupled with regular dental checkups, can lead to a lifetime dental health. I understand that many patients have a fear of dentists and the treatment we provide, so I always try to take extra care, to be as gentle as I can be, in order to allow my patients to have a more relaxing and pleasant experience. I hope that, one by one, the negative perceptions of dentists will turn into positive ones.

Dr Elizabeth Ladyjenski

I graduated from the Bachelor of Dental Science at the University of Melbourne in 2005. Since then, I have gained a wide range of experience by working in both the public and private sector. I have always had a special interest in Oral Surgery and at the present time, limit my practice to this field. No two patients are alike and no case is like the one before. My philosophy of practice is to provide as much information as I possibly can to the patient, so they feel comfortable in making a well informed decision.

I believe that thorough diagnosis is the key to great patient care. I always begin my relationship with a new patient by allocating a complimentary consultation and getting to know the individual needs of that patient. Wisdom teeth assessment and removal take up the majority of my time. I love the challenge and the variety that this component of treatment brings. Tooth removal is considered to be a most dreaded procedure by many patients, and it is often remembered for many years after it takes place. I am grateful to be in a position where I can change that stereotype and make the experience a most comfortable one.
