Alice was born in New Zealand where she spent the majority of her childhood before moving over to Australia for high school. Graduating with a Bachelor of Oral Health from the University of Queensland in 2013, she has since been working in private practice treating patients of all ages.
A positive experience at the dentist is what Alice strives for each visit, ensuring that her patients are well-informed and looked after, especially when it comes to prevention of common dental conditions such as decay, erosion, wear and gum disease.
Alice is an animal-lover (especially dogs!) and has a passion for travel and exploring the world. She loves to experience different cultures and cuisines, so if you have any fascinating travel stories or restaurant recommendations, be sure to share them when you visit!

Working as a general dentist since graduating, Dr Lavery has gained experience in public and private practice and has enjoyed applying himself to most aspects of dentistry, with a particular interest in orthodontics, Invisalign®, cosmetic dentistry, and CAD (Computer Aided Design) / CAM (Computer Aided Manufacture) dental techniques including ceramic (Cerec) restoration.
