About

In NK Periodontics, we strongly believes in modern periodontal treatment techniques based on the latest biotechnology and up-to-date clinical science. We are deeply committed to ensure our patients receive the best possible treatment and service by striving to set a new standard of care in periodontal medicine every day.

We are a registered Specialist Practice in Periodontics (Queensland), a member of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, member of the Australian Dental Association and Australian Society of Periodontology (WA). To become a Periodontist, five years of university, followed by three years of full-time specialty training must be completed. Specialists must meet strict guidelines and demonstrate exceptional skill-sets, and be registered with a variety of professional organisations in order to practice. Specialised equipment is used during your visits, some being single use only. Strict guidelines are adhered to go above and beyond Australian requirements in infection control.

We have published research papers in the international literature and below are some of the most recent publications by our practice.
