Dr Lavery graduated from the University of Queensland as a dentist in 1997. 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.

Dr Lavery has been providing a mix of general dental and orthodontic treatment in Brisbane, Regional Queensland and Darwin practices. Dr Lavery is married with two young children and enjoys spending time at the beach when time allows.

My approach to dentistry is empathetic, caring and gentle. I enjoy assisting my patients to feel comfortable when they come to visit. I enjoy all aspects of dentistry ranging from preventive dentistry to root canal treatment, crowns and bridges. My main interest is in cosmetic dentistry and smile makeovers, offering Invisalign treatments, veneers, cosmetic injectables and muscle relaxants.

Outside of work, I enjoy coffee trips, training at the gym, walking my dog and exploring the outdoors.
