always strived to excel and expand his repertoire of professional skills through continued dental education programs in the areas of cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry, Invisalign and private practice management programs. Dr Basavaraj is also a current member of the Australian Dental Association, Member of The Australian Society of Implant Dentistry, life member of the Indian Dental Association and life member of the Indian Society of Peadodontic and Preventive Dentistry. “We strive to go above and beyond for our patients so they have a stress-free, comfortable and enjoyable visit,” Dr Basavaraj says. “Our clients are happy to come back and see us again because we offer a caring, compassionate and comprehensive service. We also offer happy gas sedation for anxious patients.” The Ross River Road clinic is modern and new. The services offered include general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, children’s dentistry, dental hygiene, teeth whitening, treatments for teeth clenching and grinding and dental implants. Dr Basavaraj has completed a
certification program under highly experienced trainer and clinician Dr Dan Brener in Sydney. “Having missing teeth or poor-fitting dentures can severely impact your quality of life,” Dr Basavaraj says. “Titanium dental implants can be used to replace missing teeth or anchor a full denture to the remaining ridge. This is because an implant root is much stronger than a tooth root.” On a mission to deliver a high standard of dental treatment at an affordable price, Dentist at Healthlink is open six days a week (Saturdays by appointment) and welcomes new patients to come and experience the difference at Healthlink.
