Dr Anand Ponnusamy

Dr Anand Ponnusamy obtained a Bachelor of Dental Science from Annamalai University, India, in 2008. He then completed a Master of Dental Public and Primary Health at the University of Western Australia in 2012. His membership with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons keeps him on top of the latest developments in the profession.

"I have been practising dentistry in the private sector for ten years. I grew up in India, where I graduated from Annamalai University in 2008. I immigrated to Australia in 2010 and completed my master's in dental public and primary health in 2012 at UWA. I am also a proud member of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons."

"I have a vision of taking the feeling of fear and anxiety away from patients who tend to associate them with every visit to the dentist. Since practising, I have developed a particular interest in laser dentistry. I am currently completing a masters with LA&HA in Ljubljana, Slovenia, which will make me specially trained for hard and soft tissue laser procedures in dental and cosmetic treatment. These skills will allow me to make my vision a reality and make dental procedures a more pleasant experience for every patient."

"I have also undergone CEREC Advanced training with Spear Education in Scottsdale, Arizona, which manages worn dentition. This uses facially generated treatment planning to customise a smile design to meet individual patients' needs."

"I would describe myself as a good team player and an amiable, fun-loving individual who enjoys all aspects of dentistry. I have a young son who keeps me on my toes, and I also love to travel. My other hobbies include listening to music and bushwalking."
