Dr Philip Song BDS (Hons) (USyd), BSc

Dr Philip graduated from the University of Sydney with honours and was awarded the University of Sydney Academic Merit Prize. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in medical laboratory science, which shows in the way he explains things — methodically, and without jargon.

With more than a decade in practice, Dr Philip has a particular interest in general dentistry and endodontics (root canal treatment), helping patients keep teeth that might otherwise be lost. If you have a tooth that has been aching for a while, he is the dentist many of our long-standing patients ask for.
