HIGH ROAD DENTAL
Established in 1991 as Khaw Dental Surgery, we have served Willetton and the surrounding suburbs of Riverton, Shelley, Rossmoyne, Bull Creek, Canning Vale with great pride and care. In 2016, as Dr Khaw retired, Dr Leonard and Dr Shannon moved the practice across the road to our current address and High Road Dental and Implant Centre was born.
Since then, we have grown from two dental chairs to our current ten-chair practice, establishing ourselves as the premium one-stop dental centre in Willetton for quality dental care providing comprehensive services from general and children dentistry, root canal treatments and same day CEREC crowns to oral implants and Invisalign. To reflect the extensive range of services that we provide, we are now simply High Road Dental.
What remains unchanged is our commitment and conviction that quality dentistry should be accessible to everyone. We are equipped with the latest dental technology and have prepared the most comfortable facilities, while maintaining the same excellent, effective dentistry delivered with the most gentle, caring touch. We warmly invite old friends to drop by and look forward to welcoming new ones.
Our patients deserve the best!
QIP Accredited Practice
Dr Leonard graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 2001. He was in government service for four years serving the Singapore Armed Forces as an overall-in-charge combining both clinical and leadership roles. He transitioned to private practice thereafter to pursue his interest in oral implants, attending a multitude of training courses, including an intensive 2 year programme which culminated in a Master of Science Certificate in Oral Implantology conferred by the prestigious Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany.
Dr Leonard combines in-depth knowledge with technical expertise. His European training guides him to take a conservative approach in his treatment planning, expousing first and foremost, the principle of maintaining the healthy function of your own existing teeth, before recommending replacement options for missing teeth.
“I enjoy the challenges of negotiating the complex factors that affect the delivery of effective treatment. My greatest satisfaction comes when I am able to provide a solution that both pleases my patient and is also grounded on sound scientific principles.”
In line with that, Dr Leonard is especially adept in endodontics to save viable teeth from having to be extracted. Through sophisticated microscope equipment and the latest rotary instruments, root canal treatments become quicker, more comfortable and predictable. He is also most experienced with CAD/CAM (computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing) same day crowns, having designed and milled thousands. Dr Leonard continually keeps up with the latest in dental developments to ensure his patients receive only the best treatment possible.
Outside of his busy clinical schedule and management of the practice, his four kids keep him busy, he plays all kinds of sports with them, and also enjoys imparting all the words of words that have welled up in him over the years.
Dr Shannon graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 2004. She was in government service for four years. She served the School Dental Service, before being accepted by the Singapore Armed Forces as a dental officer. She was then invited by the Singhealth Polyclinics to be overall in charge of the dental officers. Dr Shannon transitioned to private practice seeking greater opportunities to develop her interests in paediatrics and orthodontics. She completed the Comprehensive Orthodontic Programme and obtained her certification in 2008.
“I was motivated to further train in orthodontics so that I can have greater understanding of my younger patients who present with crowded teeth. I love seeing their smiles blossom from being shy and close-mouthed to confident full-fledged grins. The satisfaction and gratification is just immense and I am proud and grateful to be given the opportunity to be a part of their life journeys.
Training in Invisalign (the market leader in invisible aligner solutions) was a natural progression and in the year 2012, Dr Shannon was awarded Best Newcomer by Invisalign. Since establishing High Road Dental in 2016, she has been awarded the Gold Award in 2017, Platinum Award in 2018, and the Platinum Elite Award for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 four years running. She is truly fascinated by the beauty and intelligence of Invisalign technology and has even undergone the treatment herself so that she can better relate to her patients. She believes every person should have smiles he or she can confidently show off, and is particularly good at offering conservative, non-invasive approaches like teeth whitening and direct no-drill veneers. Most of all, she puts in her best efforts in ensuring her young patients look forward to dental visits and wants never ever again to hear people say they have dental phobia because they had bad experiences as children.
Her own four children all love brushing their teeth, of course, they are even allowed to indulge in occasional chocolate treats because their mummy has a weakness for those as well.
Dr Eleanor has completed her Doctor of Dental Medicine with Distinction at the University of Western Australia. In addition to graduating as a valedictorian of the faculty, she was awarded with over 20 prestigious prizes, awards and funding for being an outstanding candidate in multiple disciplines throughout her studies. Most respected of all, she was the recipient of Kenneth J G Sutherland Prize and Camile S Farah Prize for Excellence in Dentistry, as a graduand with the most outstanding achievement in the whole program. She is the first author and co-author of numerous medical and dental research publications and presentations in prestigious journals and learned societies.
As an avid and astute learner, Dr Eleanor has continued to undertake further studies in many disciplines of dentistry, including restorative, oral surgery, implant dentistry, orthodontics (Invisalign and braces), rotary endodontics, digital CADCAM dentistry and periodontics to name a few.
As much as she enjoys looking after her patients with complex treatment needs, Dr Eleanor is a strong advocate of conservative and preventative dentistry. She believes early oral health education is the key, and is passionate in encouraging and motivating her patients to achieve and maintain optimal dental health through education. As a gentle and caring person, she takes great satisfaction in helping anxious patients to feel comfortable during her treatment. She takes pride in providing exceptional dentistry in a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. For her, dentistry is another way to connect with people of all ages with added bonus of giving them a pleasant healthy smile to last life time.
Being born in Seoul, South Korea and raised in Australia for most of her life, she speaks both English and Korean fluently and understands both the cultures well. She also values volunteering and has participated in volunteer trips to provide free dental services to less fortunate people in Vietnam, Cambodia, and refugees in Australia.
